I'm getting sick and tired of players coming back to their base or turning around to check on base before flag is grabbed and killing you before the grab. Aren't they supposed to be going forward? I'm also sick an tired of players playing half field and waiting for the flag carrier to pass by, aren't they supposed to be moving forward? They justify it by saying they're defending but I see it as cheating. Am I right or wrong?
if Im leaving my base, and you are getting inside and trying to grab my flag, im going to try to stop you, that´s normal... im not supposed to let you cap and/or win just cause i´m centimeters in front of you. that´s is not back-shooting and whoever tells you that doesn't know what CTF or teamplay is.Quote:

laming is what f0x is doing lately. change to the winning team just to win the game... that "broke" a lot of games last night. i dont report because i don´t really waste time on that ( he actually changed to a team and started boosting team mate with the flag... guess he was having a bad day :P ) ass-running is following you JUST for an extra killing, even if i have to walk the entire map to kill you from behind. for me, that´s a waste of time, but some people do it....
but if you leave your base you are not deffending ? or am i wrong ?

This would be to cover mid as your flag carrier runs back through mid, and typically you follow them back into the base to continue to cover them till you cap. He/she will also be outside the base in order to return their flag if taken. A defender shouldn't be outside his/her base otherwise. So, if somebody is chasing you back from mid to their flag as you grab, and both flags are on the stand, then they are probably an offensive player chasing you.
If you had a demo, this question would be 100% easier to understand/answer.
do people actually have the role of "defending" on public? normally on public servers people do all jobs depending on how the game is going.. at least that´s how i see it since 98 :PQuote:

there are deffending ppls who are on server . go to mid then turn around to your base i would say is chasing . cos if you were gonna move forward then you do it :)
i didnt said "i reach mid and come back" :P i said if im leaving base only and not not turn around in mid for that kill. that is chasing and/or assshot :p .Quote:

its a gray area i guess, dunno...
if you are on duku, opposite team on stairs, see a guy entering the base and shot back, that is "wrong" to me, for example.
for me what bothers me the most on the server is "pretending" to be helping the FC when staying in enemy base spawn killing... they say : "what? protecting my FC!! im giving it back up!" - he is not. happens a lot in "control" .
formerself = ampenergy

ok, ur right. did some defending and was banned for it , so.. :P guess u got ur answer xD .. dont defend, just attack like hell!Quote:
