Ok this works the best on Walls but also works on city if the defense is down...
what you do:
Get a flame tank or med laod it with 2 ppl
Driver = Beacon
Passenger = Gunner
Drive explains that hes gonna plant somewhere then someone gets a heli loads it with ppl and awaits near the enemy base and the heli is full of ppl... brief your ppl to defend the beacon.
When the driver gets out to plant the gunner covers him.
then when its planted you IMMIDIATELY fly in with reinforcements and drop them... its good to have hotties/techs so they can mine the area and have your men set up parimeters around the beacon... this is an effective way of brining in a defense force for a beacon... it worked like a charm when I did it I'll tell you the story.
so we're nod and this guy buys a flamer says he has a beacon and wants someone to go with him... an engineer gets in and he explains the plan.. I agree I will bring in a drop squad to help defend his nuke against the barix.
I load my team up with a shotgunner and flame thower (we had no hand)
so I hear it being planted and I drop my squad off...
the driver is out of his vehcile fighting and the passenger is in his vehcile shooting from it.. while my drop squad is fighting off hotties and engys...
I ended up saving the beacon because he was getting overwhelmed with gunners and engys and hotties... but the shotgunner and flamer kick some butt and the beacon went off.. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Therefore single-man strads are teh best
hmm - not if the enemy base is CRAWLING with hotties/techies --->
you need to plant multiple ones - and have back up.
i've been in to many games where lone wolf's go it alone - plant a beacon - lose it - and then get wasted themselves -- and watch as the enemy score increase by 300 points a pop... (excuse the pun) - thereby losing the game....
dont get me wrong -
single man placement is effective - if your enemy is not playing 'd'.
but if you keep hearing "beacon disarmed" -- it's probably not a good idea to go in it alone.
(at lease have an st standing by to run the enemy over as they disarm)

lmao, but going solo is one of the more ineffective ways of playing the game. Teamwork will work great when the right people are involved.
The best happy medium is to 1-3 groups acting as teams and having others satillite the groups, or to try and herd the people doing their own thing by singling out targets.
hehe, I need to play a clan match.

Well there is an easy solution for teamwork problems: get friends! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Its a whole lot easier to plan things when you know you can trust your buddies.
And I don't mean you should have some buddies from..."real life", just play with people in the net and get to know them.

Well, if you rush into a base "crawling with hotties and techs", it doesn't really matter much to me, because I'm a sniper 9/10 of the time anyway. I'll plant the beacon, backpeddle, and guard it.
Its very rare that I would lose that oppurtunity to more than 2-3 hotties or techs.

you misunderstand -
im not saying you cant lay a beacon solo - but when the enemy is on base defense - multiple sappers would make it easier --
BTW - as a sniper - you should be standing at a distance covering a beacon someone else plants - in you view -- nothing sweeter to shoot those techs standing to disarm...IMHO - lol

I have actually teamed up with an engineer on mesa, and sniper covered for him while he planted the beacon. (Airstrip was down)
I laughed so hard watching base defenders getting mowed down trying to get this one little engy that was waaaaaaaaaaaaay far away from me. Sniper cover is a good idea if you can get just two people together.

The statement is simple: "Everyone has a Rambo on the inside..."
Some people ONLY CARE about POINTS, KILLS, etc.
But what's important is the victory of a team.
Once I was an MVP (it was the first time I got it, but our team lost). How did I get the MVP?
Not through killing, but through repairing. Did I really deserve the MVP?
No.

I love sniper cover when planting a beacon.
Most enemy engineers tend to stand still while disarming after dispacting the person who planted the nuke/ion.
It makes them easy pickings for your sniper cover.
Line them up.....1, 2, 3

I once coordinated an beacon rush with my team, everyone worked as an team and GDI couldn't stop us, here's the plan:
4 sbh's would deploy their nukes on the roofs of the buildings in the sniper's scope, snipers cover the nukes and the sbh's get the tanks. meanwhile 3 apc's are entering the GDI base to help slaughter the hotwire's and engineers.
the rest of the tanks (artilliries) continieusly shoot at the refinery or powerplant forcing some GDI hotwires to repair the buildings giving the nukes more time to go off.
the game lasted 4 minutes ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Those are usualy noobs.
You'd be surprised that when a group is repairing a beacon and their friends start falling, they still don't seem to move.
