I meant fix the tank on the bank vault map, on fuel dump the tank machinegun is always useful. On gold rush map, once the doors have been blown open, the tank is not in a good spot for its MG.
Noob free servers ?
It is not necessarily wrong to fix the tank at that position, the MG can be helpful if used properly. It is more questionable if you fix the tank when the bridge hasnt been built, that will give very little help to the team and the bridgebuilding will be slowed down.[/quote]
When I play engy I repair it for the XP, especially on fuel dump. The reason is very simple, as a high level engineer I can sprinkle dynamite as if it was candy. If I then get into the fuel dump I can place a whole bunch of boomsticks before the axis even realize we’re inside. Yeah it’s still XP whoring I’ll admit that, but for a purpose. There’s little point in doing it after reaching the higher levels.
I think that most of the time taht people who CAN point whore, know enough to help the team win. usually when a team ownz another, its a result of the top xp point guys. Im sure there are exeptions though.
going slightly offtopic:
I see a couple of passworded pickup style looking servers but i dont know the password since im not involved in any ‘scene’.
get mIRC (and perferably add a nice script like nnscript) and find a server + channels to hang about on. For rtcw at least people tend to be on quakenet for euro and probably EnterTheGame or something in USA.
there’s #et.euro (mainly rtcw scene) and #etpickup (more sof2 / q3/ cs scene) on quakenet for pickup games. enjoy 
Well I’m trying to make an experienced server only. I rather not password protect it as it will be empty. So I try to keep regulars on and to help those who are new. Right now I have a few regulars and might start handing out ref passwords to some to help keep the server “n00b” free. (N00b being someone who has no clue and doesn’t listen to the team. Not to be confused with someone who is new to the game but is willing to listen and help out as best they can.
Server is listed below.
If you pass protect the server, but make the pass available to peeps in the forums, itll prolly stay full and n00b free, I know ill make a point to play on it.
