Escaping a checkmate situation?
25 November, 2016, 13:18
Played a game recently (woo I'm back and got a 17 kill streak too).
Anyway in the first 5 minutes we were essentially checkmated. A narrow choke point where the enemy team had five directions AND hard cover to shoot from.
There was no possibility of flanking.
The opening play was a massive grenade apocalypse. Everybody on our side tossed 3+ grenades at the entrenched enemy team. With 6 hit calls immediately after but with still two defenders who had ducked behind hard cover surviving and covering the choke point and suppressing our entry.
With all our grenades spent how exactly were we to get through this situation?
The narrow choke point essentially looked like this

With 5+ lasers flashing torches it looked like a disco.
We were pinned and unable to break through for the entire game.
How would you break through?

Re: Escaping a checkmate situation?
Depends if lives were limited/how much so.
When I play games like this (defending/attacking) the attackers usually get unlimited lives, or defenders will have one with attackers having three.
In this case, the attackers would usually go for the 'Russian steamroller' technique, hitting as hard as possible as fast as possible, inevitably suffering numerous hits.
There are only two defenders left (presumably) with one life each and (X) attackers, chances are high you'll take them out, despite suffering team losses yourself.

A number of guys laying down suppressing fire directly onto the defenders' positions while the others charge through. If the defenders put up their heads to fire they do so into streams of fire and die.
Was it a trick question? :D

Suppress suppress suppress.
Press press press.

Infinite lives on both sides. This is what caused the difficulty. Plus the proximity of their spawn and instant regen meant you could wipe out 5-6 of the defenders get hosed by the remaining one and those defenders you just took out would be back in as little as 20 seconds.

Sounds like poorly balanced gameplay to me.

Oh. Well that was an entirely bogus setup then.
