I posted this in the Pounder thread, but I thought I'd make another thread and see if anyone remembers it or know who the outfit was that did this. This was back in the early days before Lattice links and such things.
I remember not long after the game came out, there was an outfit of TR on Markov that would end the night by hitting the bio-lab on Amerish near the Vanu gate. They had a full squad of 10 Pounders backed up by Engineers and Medics.
Their tactic was to enter the base while it was lightly defended. Go to the CC and start the hack. The Pounders would of course anchor out of direct sight of the two doors. As soon as a door opens (five Pounders covering each door) they all open up at once and spam the door until everything is dead and then switch to alt fire to spam down the hallway before the door closes.
They would do this until they got low on ammo and then they would all move out and take control of the spawn room, hack terminals, rearm and repair and then move into the room behind the spawn room and hide. (For some reason nobody would check that room in the early days.)
They would stay there waiting for the Vanu to resecure the base(killing anyone unlucky enough to stumble across their hiding spot) and then do it all over again. God that was annoying. It was genius and worked like a charm. Haven't seen it happen in a long time though.
These guys were good and had some excellent control and team work. I've never seen anyone work that well since. If I'm not mistaken it was usually every Monday night really late.
