If you plant make sure you do it in a spot with a line of sight at the bomb.

I see it constantly.

People planting in the middle of the train carriage instead by the closest to the attacking team door so you can cover it from the side objective site. Even the other door are fine if you hold the building on the left

People planting in the middle of of the last objective at the Underground map instead close to the left stairs (so you can cover it from that room on the left.

Think.

P.S.

Also so many people don’t realise only one person can repair/disarm/plant. If someone is doing it and especially if that’s an engineer, do yourself a favour and cover his ass instead of giving someone else another free kill.

I agree. It’s why I play objective specialists when I’m not a medic. Have to beat out the players trying to plant in bad positions.

I see too many players planting the final bomb point in Underground behind the computer consoles instead of the ramp where it gives them a line of sight where they can shoot the diffuser.

That’s exactly my point, to be fair I haven’t even tried competitive yet (for a while I was convinced this feature doesn’t work), but it is a common situation. It’s a fast paced FPS, but thinking is required and it would nice to stress it, maybe even in some trailer ?

Underground is a bit of a tough one because that entire platform is open to airstrikes/orbital laser and naders thrive on killing groups in it trying to diffuse, don’t get me wrong every other map I completely agree but underground deserves a special exception for its final objective.

Planting in the middle gives you no advantage over left or right ramp if you have them covered from the control room or that toxic corridor to the right. Guns unlike specials have no cooldowns and offer sustained protection not few seconds.

Every plant spot is in line of sight of something o:)

Underground is the easiest of all plants because the right side ramp has line of sight to the top of the escalators all the way at attackers spawn. A sniper can sit there and secure it solo.

for def team: stop running c4 when enemies around especially you are not engineer. first clean the route for your engineers, don’t worry they are really fast defuser. im always clean enemies even im engineer.

Can’t wait for Red Eye, his smoke grenade might come handy for those desperate disarm attempts. well, as long the other team Red Eye isn’t near.

The defenders still have to get there in the 1st place plus not all abilities last for “a few seconds” i’ve won matches countless times with people covering with orbital strikes & nader shots because yes whilst 1 person has a cooldown other people don’t… I believe the word I’m looking for is Teamwork

Oh I agree teamwork, but I rather have teamwork and higher chances to win. If you plant in places you can cover it with gun fire you have your support abilities AND guns to your disposal often from angles you can pick around corners. You simply control the situation better while denying cover to anyone who tries to defuse.
