The Anti-Cram

[Dameon Angell]

Okay, this is a question for all you elite league basers....

Your team is attacking the flag and the defending team has the main entrance below the red arch covered w/ mines and a hail of spider lasers. You try going to the sides, but you still get hammered by the spiders. What do you do?

and a 2nd one....

How do you break a cramming of spiders that are in the entrance to the flagroom? Like the tactic used to gain entrance into the flag room.

I just rush through and trust my euro lag.

I rush into them and drop some mines or a burst. If I'm jav I'll rocket a bomb through the middle with the euro lag. :x

Hmmm you seriously think anyone would want to give any sort of strategies away like this?
If you discuss a strategy with someone else it's a different thing but I doubt anyone would give away ways to win the game.
In this case, I think you can figure some way out on your own, it's not too hard to figure out the obvious ways to break it... however hard it might be in reality.

Good luck, you're almost asking for confidential information though, so I can't help you.

I turn on kazaa, I'm still waiting for the lag cheat from dele

woops.

[Dabram]

breaking cram is easy.

C'mon, give the guy a break.

Anyway, beating a cram has been already discussed in the following thread:

The first tactic you're referring to is called 'lining' (which was the previous "invincible" tactic before some unnamed people came up with cram). It's slightly easier to break than a cram, though. The spid lines are vulnerable to good jav shots so use those. As for entry, you need both sharks to go in at once as opposed to cramming where sharks take turns repping. Just rep the mines away and have your sharks push against the side with: a) more sharks b) more spids c) side without javs/wbs/terr if everything else is equal. In case you're actually facing a perfectly balanced line (you're not going to see those anymore, no1 knows how to line nowadays) just have one shark go left and one right. Requires some teamwork, tho. Don't stay still and rep, you need to actually push or you're going to get pushed back and n-fer'd by a jav. Just my two €.

The favorite strategy against this is to try and manipulate everything around the cram, to make the cram useless. IE changing map and settings.

Is that really how you should do it? The cram's breakable without that stuff.

oyea, the real elite basers dont go sit in flagroom entrance after they have killed the enemy, but they go to lower and try to own the ENTIRE base.

oh i suddenly have a great idea, give flagroom 2 flags and lower base 1 flag.

!

When I'm on your squad, we'll talk together about basing strategy.

Go cram

Cram is breakable if you get 2 javs (preferable with lag cheat) and rocket a bomb up there. If you have any chance, the terr is dead. Then you enter and get done the same shit. It's a continuous circle.

It only works in ?go base because people like to mess around and try things out in there. If you have two javs up against two skilled sharks on a championship-caliber team in a cram, trust me. The sharks will rep at just the right time.

eh well i would tell you my strategy but its top secret

Sigh, the new ppl that don't think outside of the fr-entrance-box.


When vs 2 javs, a championship-caliber team would play in lower, spreading out, hunting down slow recharge javs.

Wow, kinda arrogant.

Wouldn't a team with 2 javs get owned in FR anyway, though? And be unable to clear lower?
