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.
case closed.
For what?

Kytten9 | 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.

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.

people playing the game they paid for the way they want to play without cheating.
it's morons like you and that server that piss me off about the game...
people who think that their way is the only way to play the game so they make up stupid rules governing everything they don't like whether it is a valid tactic or not.

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.

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.
