ambushing?

[Frozen-Monkey]

Is there something to stop a guy from just poping out of the forest and putting an Anti-vehical round into a base?

[Flameseeker]

Radar, scout patrols, aircraft fly-bys, people looking from base walls. What do you mean by pop a AV round into a base? You can't hurt bases BTW.

i mean to anoy people and maybe kill a person in the process

[Vicentegrad]

i wager he means if some lone soldier or three could slither to a base under cover of night or trees and then fire as many grenades or missiles into the base attempting to cause havoc on the defenses

sure, you could....but I'd say the net worth isn't much vs the effort

you may kill someone, or a few even, but I just really think you'd be stopped

also remember that invisos can't carry rifles or heavy weapons

You mean, chuck a grenade over the wall? Phoenix people randomly? That won't last long. You'll get tracked by the smoke trail.

move to a different location after each shot, you got to admit this would be very anoying

The base full of pissed off guys?

[TheGreatCarbini]

Well if your that close to a base you would have to use alot of luck to be unseen unless you have a stealth suit of the base is in the middle or a forest. heavy rain and snow might help too. But also remeber that tall grass won't hide you cause it doesn't clip all the way out, so if your too far from the enemy, he wont see the grass your hiding in, but he'll see you.

I think that sums it up pretty well.

whats to stop a lone soldier from causing havoc? have you factored any nearby reavers, quitos, baslisks, harrassers, or lightnings into this equation yet?

lone Soldier causing havoc + Reaver + lightning = (lone Soldier causing havoc + (bullet*300)) + (Reaver + lightning - (bullet*300)) = corpse + Reaver + Lightning

First off, you cant crawl, only crouch walk.

Second, anything within the base SOI shows up on radar, except infiltaror suits.

Third, Inf cant carry the heavy weapons your talking about, and even if they did they would be visable as soon as you fire.

Well thats three reasons most people wouldnt even try it. Another good one is the base full of guys and the lack of back up you brought.

Oh, and if the enemy happens to have an interlink station, the wall turrets would kill you. Well thats five....

The game was designed so people didnt do lone wolf missions like this one. Im thinknig the only way you gcould do something like this is to drive and enforcer (NC buggy with rocket luancher) close to the base, fire a few rounds and drive away before you can get attacked. Wont help if anyone in the base has the reaver cert though.

Plus really, an ambush ia a group of people attacking a smaller group of people that really dont know its coming. Lone Wolfs cannot ambush! at least i dont think you can legally call it an ambush.
