I ALWAYS stay back when capping a flag.. I'll make sure there are no enemies around, that no one spawns and throws 3 grenades at the flag whiping out my team.. It helps more than an extra guy on the flag, believe me

What you really meant was instead of helping to take the flag, you spawn kill all the people spawning to defend the flag and really are no addition to your team right?

That's a pretty ignorant comment. Technically, it may be spawn camping, but it's keeping those same guys from stoping the flag capture.

Sometimes it's your only choice when playing against a decent enemy. Especially on maps like Mashturr City. (The only one I play 90% of the time.)

hold on... Sarge's strat is used by alot of players. I myself am one of them. its called cover fire.. there are many flags that have good covering positions for squad leaders.. we cover 1 or more spawn points while are squad takes the flag.. this giving less chance for the enemy to pop up and kill your squad all bunched up taking the flag.. this also gives a spawn point if your squad was hit by arty / armor / gernade or anything else that might happend.. covering a spawn point so your squad / team can cap a flag with out worries of 1 or more spawn points is helping the team.. there strats to help win and take over the map.. You might feel its a "cheap" way to do battle but strats are what makes your team work better as a whole.

Bobs right and I have been in his squad while he was leader and watched him do this, we won like 5 rounds in a row.  I my self do it too.  There is no reason to all rush in on a flag only to be HG'd or artty'd to death and have to spawn half way arcoss the map again.

I try to do ground work as often as possible. Capping flags, defending key points (Which does NOT include the beach on Wake.), using armor to do so, and in extreme cases setting myself up in a hidden part of a map to act as a Trump Card spawn point when the team is perpetually held to the uncappables.

It's sometimes laughable how reliant people can be on vehicles however. A certain round of Kubra Dam comes to mind...

I share the dissent of aircraft as a mainly ground worker, but I'm actively trying to get better at AA lead (Essex, Mobile)... It can still be quite infuriating at just how ineffective those methods can be against aircraft.

I have reason to believe a FAV can take down a Cobra quicker than the Tunguska's main guns... But that's another thread.

Ground work, importantly frustraiting!
