Container city - Security - broken!!!!

(Cush) #1

I have very few complaints about brink, and the most ridiculous one of all? Playing container city as security…it is very very poor design when it is pretty much a guaranteed victory for one side just because of map. SOMETHING needs to be done about this.

I think once past the first hurdle, security have it pretty easy. I’ve found a few dirty tricks on the map that im not sharing.

I find the beginning pretty easy actually. We have 7 go after the door and place a charge (pretty easy because the door has ridiculous amounts of cover) While one engineer just brings the bot along. Right as the door explodes the bot is just approaching it then we body block the bot til the map opens up.

That gate doesn’t prevent the soldier planting the charge from being sniped. I do it all the time. I never play that map as security. **** is ridiculous.

As Cheerio said… provided the team works together and everyone charges the gate RIGHT at the start, you can get the charge on and guard it until it blows. If you hesitate though, game over.

Going by what I’ve seen, exploding the door open isn’t the problem at all: it’s the dual chokepoint that is created when the gate at the start explodes. Some games security has won, but very much most of the games in objective mode 8v8 on pubs, security has been stalled on the dual chokepoint at the beginning. Flashbangs and a coordinated rush help there, but quite understandably you don’t see that very much on public games. Once security was even pushed back to spawn and spawncamped hard, teams weren’t even stacked.

Agreed.

Even if you try working together as Security, it is just very hard to get out of the spawn without insta-dying. Enemy team has way too much cover to thwart any attempt to break out or retaliate.

People are just clueless, I wonder how many light attackers are aware of the tunnel above the first gate from which the defenders are practically invincible.

Indeed, it’s not impossible, just requires people to buff each other fully, work together properly rather than throwing themselves into enemy fire, and thinking a little more than you would in other shooters :smiley:

There is also a way to get behind them from the far left of the gate to. While I’ve seen the security spawn raped its not impossible, the main draw back is no one uses mics to chat on the 360.

I think because of the way you have to find a game, one person joining and inviting the rest, everyone’s in party chat.
