erm.... hill attack cheap, why we dont allow it? because ppl just go up there shot and win mvp even if they dont win the game, just because the want ladder points if they win, and btw they dont give a shit about defence. so thats why we dont like it.

its a cheap chicken shit way to win coz you're not really in any danger the minute you are attacked you just back up and repair.....where is the fun in that? personally i like to "play" a game not destroy it


thats a paradoxical statement if ever I saw one.

Hill camping leads to new tactical awareness. The other team hill camps, you let them destroy some of your buildings. The other team then generally back off on the hill a little, allowing you to take it and make some points for your team. This is one of the few occasions in Renegade that you will see people get angry with team-mates for destroying a building, as tactically you lose the edge by doing this.

Personally, I find being up there with a long-range attack is great for defense, too... someone attacks your base and you can swivel around and shoot the offender with a bird's-eye view.

Then again, I'm usually one of those who are taking out the tanks at the top.

I just don't find it good to anally retain the game and remove every tactic that I might find "cheap". All of my rules are centered on map exploits and game exploits.


I'm the bawss.

Not to disagree with Crimson who said if you can't take out the artillery or MRLSs on the hill you deserve to lose, but all you're good for is camping at the hilltop and shooting then you don't deserve to win.

Of course this is coming from someone who almost never buys a vehicle.

I do enjoy watching the MRL flipped and blows up on the hill when they see a flame tank chasing them or owning artillery and stealth tank on the hill with a MRLS.
Both side need to compete for the hill top to gain advantage on what the enemy is doing in the base. It also requires skill to maintain the hill top as numbers does not gurentee to hold it and makes base vounverable to be attacked from side.

I personally does not see a problem with it.

"point whoring" is a term used by simple minded idiots who don't know that points is one of 3 ways to win the game.
there are some morons who think that fighting head to head with the enemy in a tank battle or gun battle is the only proper way to play the game. in reality, as long as you aren't cheating, all is fair and if you can score points for your team and keep one or more of the enemy busy by constantly pounding a building, GO FOR IT!


I agree.

Two words come to mind..

"Cheap" and "Point whore"

You were probably talking about Black-Cell servers.


those would be three words. Work on your counting skills kthx.

Still it all comes down to the server your playing has rules, and you must abide by the rules or don’t play that server at all. I see no point in complaining about a rule if you can simply go to another server without that rule.

I can't believe people are using "it's annoying" as an argument. It isn't your enemies job to make the game convenient for you. Many times buildings can be taken out from the hill. It usually takes at least 1-2 people to repair your damage, so your helping there. Meanwhile you're earning points, which helps the team win if the time runs out. There is absolutely no doubt that this tactic is helpful to the team.

On top of that it is very easy to counter. A basic soldier alone can chase an arty down from there, maybe even stick a C4 on him. It's unbelievably easy to counter, this is a very valid tactic. Someone said something about how hard it is to kill the arties when they secure the hill. Well, if the team works together to secure the hill then they deserve to win.

To sum it up: quit your bitching and play the fucking game.

from our serverrules:

like crimson said, if you can't handle that tactic, you don't deserve to win.

I for one agree that shooting on top of the hill is a valid tactic. Why did the map designers put a hill between the 2 bases? Does that hill act like a wall to avoid direct confrontation? another path for attacking the base? Why is there a tunnel beneath the hill? Are tanks supposed to be on that hill? What about infantry? Why are there rocks?

The map designers put a hill between the bases for a purpose. The bases are so close that defenses would rip out anything they see. If that hill was supposed to be a wall they shouldve made that hill INACCESSIBLE. Why did they make that hill accessible? ITS FOR TANKS TO ROLL OUT AND FLATTEN THE ENEMY BASE. If that hill is for tanks then theres another way to attack the opposing base. A tunnel is placed to the convenience of infantry since base defenses can hit particular areas on the hill. If that hill wasnt supposed to be used by tanks or infantry why are there some big rocks that can COVER a vehicle from the base defenses. If those rocks are meant for infantry why are those rocks so big that it can cover a tank?

It is so stupid that why should particular servers not allow shooting from the hill on Hourglass when the way the map was designed suggests doing that.

certain things are exploits of the maps.
for instance, b2b on islands, i always thought it was fine since it was built in until i read from a ww developer that it was unintentional. beacons on field, we got mixed signals from devinoch on delphi... one said it was fine the other said no. then the devs tried to fix it(with disasterous results) which told me it was not intentional.
when it comes to a normal game(not snipe only etc.) all non exploit tactics should be allowed in my opinion.

I never find mobarts/mrls on the hill anything more than a minor irritant. If nobody tries to stop them, yes they will mass up there and eventually either take out a building or just whore enough points to win, but from within the base, a Havoc or Sakura can easily pick them off, and if they have eng support a run up there with a patch or lcg will dispatch them quickly enough Smile

if the other team cant get them off the hill then they deserve to loose.
its very simple to keep them from getting any serious dmg done from there.

It is exactly the same as the enemy attacking from any other place.
If you can't keep the enemy from taking the field on C&C Field then they deserve to get points from attacking the harvester.
If you can't stop infantry from getting in the tunnels and launching rockets at your base they deserve to get points from hitting your buildings.

I can't see what the big deal is... it's a war, you should do anything possible to win.

Its fun to get a havoc and stand against the wall back between the ref and the power, and snipe the barrels of the pointwhoring mobarts on the hill....makes them so frustrated Smile


lol, i do that sometimes.

usually no one gets to attack the other base anyway, it just ends up a battle for the hill between the arties and mrls.

I was also in a server on Islands before where they added a giant billboard that said "No b2b on this server," that was attached to the part right above the tunnels on the gdi side, so it got in the way of the mrls hitting the HoN.
