Valid tactic or exploit?
I personally think it's an exploit, what's the point of an Obelisk when people can just hop and run backwards towards it without being shot?
Great job WW...

it works 100\% on C&C_under if your running from the front, and i know it works a good deal on other maps also, but u gota aproche it from the front,
sad thing is, i got soooo bored i tried doing it on the agt, well lets just say.....

1 player LAN will not work, simply because ping is 0 and SFPS is also likely pretty high...
This only works on servers with packet loss or a low SFPS
it's become a problem in clan matches, many people are using this exploit against Nod... it works and it happens a lot, perhaps not so much on indi. ladder

ything that can win u a game is not heating, if your any dman good u can stop one guy jumping backwards at yur obelisk for gods sake. i personally have not done this for i have never had a chance, there is always someone there who will see e, if ur in a game over 18 people SOMEONEshould see you, or mines blok you, i cant believe your whinning about it, its almost funny really

silly dork. why walk when you can drive. it'll get fixed in the next patch. OH, wait what the eel am i talkin about. I forgot that all of the new patches gettin sucked down the secret worm hole in W-es-t W00D's FTP.
People walkin backwards just makes my defending job that much easier. So much easier to shoot them when they can't see me. or run them over.
or pull their pants down and trip them.

Ahhh -- an intelligent reply from a well-seasoned id....
I suppose your idea of fair play is to blindfold and handcuff your captives before you shoot them?
Face it like a warrior - not like a scared little mink....
"Bah!"

yea because the oby takes 300 health.. but burns 10 dmg on skin.. so if you were a regular infantry you would BURN!! then Nod will have a cook out so, in the end, your helping Nod by getting shot

For me, it simply doesn't work. are you just running backwards or running and jumping backwards? or just get confused because your actually running backwards against the harvester?

P.S. The Obelisk is not an anti-infantry weapon. It is anti-tank. The AGT is anti-infantry, and no amount of juking and jumping will help you to get by it. They were designed with these strengths and weaknesses on purpose.
yea u can also just strafeif theres 2 buildings with obilisk in the middle u can strafe from 1 to another wihtout dieing

i started trying this last night. its just stupid how far you can get. i can get inside the front door of the hand or in the airstrip from the first tunnel (near front of ref) on field. and on under you can run down the hill. or out of any tunnel and it works. its just crazy. doesnt work 2 well on mesa tho
