Following in Oldie's most excellent lunchtime footsteps, I have to confess to suffering an attack of the typing equivalent of the 'shits' that he had on LAN weekend.  I agreed with all of the PCS rules that he set out and thought it would be helpful to at least put down my own interpretation of where I see PCS boundaries for other maps.  Maybe I typed too much as I have now developed RSI in my typing foot.  So I thought that now would be a good point to stop, put on the flame retardant jacket and wait for the incendiary responses to explode somewhere in my own general vicinity.

There will be some maps where we will need to debate the boundaries in more detail, so for the timebeing please remember that the map boundaries set out are just 'my' interpretation or best guess.   Thanks.

Ye i got a comment - too many to remember - so no shouting at me when i put a toe over the wrong line.
 How about modifying the maps to include some red boundary lines 8O

One cannister or red spray paint has been despatched to you in today's post.  Spray onto monitor at the point you wish the line to appear.....

Would it be possible to have the list of map boundaries available as a downloadable text file or collated onto a single page. Us old duffers have trouble with our, erm,  "watchamacallits" you know! Oh yes, memories.

Seriously though, I saw the post in Blueyonder about the servers and think it is a real good idea. However, I feel that there may be a lot of us new people coming on board and having to remember the limits will be tricky. We don't want to spoil the game for those who know the server rules well and a single sheet aide-memoire would be good.

you kinda get a feel for boundaries having played PCS for a few weeks.  Its common sense really... if your on the defending team then generally any great divides between the objective you guard and the oppositions spawn point is a boundary.

or am I talking bollocks?

Hi BlueBall,

To be honest the majority of boundaries are just common sense and after you've been playing PCS for a while it's second nature. Even if we all had to play on a brand new map tomorrow we'd all know that bombsites and hostages need guarding.

In general:

1. Do not go through enemy spawn.
2. Guard the hostages/defend the bombsites.
3. If in doubt - ask. We're here to help.

No-one's gonna bite yer head off for making a mistake.

Hope to see you soon. Enjoy.

Because you are there to defend the bombsites not get cheap kills. The area inside the double doors is a safe haven for the Ts to plot their attack strategies. You may be glad of that one day  :wink:
