Bunk Ups?

smilodon · January 13, 2003, 06:55:35 PM

After a conversation with Chimpboy (or as close to a converation as anyone can get with the Man Ape) I was wondering about the rule regarding jumping on the head of a fellow T so as to plant the bomb high up on a box etc. Should their be a single CT left to diffuse the bomb it's then out of their reach. Personally I consider it bad sportmanship at best and cheating at worst. Just looking for a bit of clarification?

i think its just that bad sportsmanship. its one of them grey areas
very tactical but,,,,,,,,, o i dunno

On N42 the rule was that you can't plant so the bomb is inaccessible if it meant exploiting a map flaw e.g. dropping down the bomb behind a box or something. I think it was later ruled that top of box planting also was deemed not legit.

I agree on this too.

Well I don't consider it cheating. Single-man boosts are allowed in most leagues for instance (mind you - from the demos I've watched of top clans in action there's precious little planting going on).

Whether it's sporting is a question that I suspect doesn't have a right or wrong answer. My own view is that the terrorists should use all the guile they possess to make sure the bomb explodes - including the use of single-man boosts. It even fits in with PCS in a way as they have to use teamwork and comms to enable them to pull off a boost.

The other obvious thing to mention is the lack of opportunity there is to boost the bomb. The only map that comes to mind where a boost is possible is Cobble ... Hmmmm.

AFAIK there were boost spots on Dust and Aztec too, but i dunno if they disapeared with 1.5.

Dust - Not the spawn site, the 1st set of boxes on the right against the wall.

Aztec - Over the bridge there's 1 double height box which i think you can plant on top of.

Neither hardly ever used if even possible now.

They still work. Seen it done on pubs.

JonnyAppleSeed · January 13, 2003, 08:22:56 PM

i would say no more than a 1 man boost....any more and it takes too long and kills the round

TeaLeaf · January 13, 2003, 10:05:00 PM

You should not take advanatge of map flaws, but planting on a box via a single person boost is a legitimate tactic IMO and even more reason for the CTs to work as a team and play it PCS.....

I also think its fair just for the comedy value of seeing that single surviving CT trying desparatley to defuse that soooo out of reach bomb
(ps: i was that soldier!!)
