ITS BACK

For awesome footage of epic gateroom battles:

The Devs explicitly stated they wanted firefights of that magnitude in the gate room. I have been on both sides of this situation and unless the numbers are woefully uneven like a 2 v 5 then turret placement in the gate room is to be expected. I don't suppose you have noticed the pic in the top corner of the loading screen for SGC...what is that there, i do believe it is a sci with a turret at the bottom of the ramp...

The point is to push back the invasion and be it in the gate room or the control room or surrounding corridors, there will eventually be a choke point. Now I too can be frustrated at times, but those are mostly the times when the teams are terribly uneven both in numbers and experience or if my ping is like 200 or 300, or over 9000......

If you are upset with the current match, simply find another room/server to play in. Anyone sharing your same frustrations will follow and you can leave those who frustrate you to a separate room.

I am really getting sick and tired of this thread continuously popping up, especially from veterans and experienced players.

if i am playing Sl "booo gate room camping"...if im playing SGC " yeaa gateroom camping"

If your playing SGC with nova then camp the gate room.

heres the vid i was talking about, watch the jaffa head and arm come throught the spawn door and throw a grenade, he was also staff blasting in there, no one else could but him.

@ Realz, that battle was epic, you couldnt even talk on ts, all the staff blasts were so loud

If it's deathmatch then all the SL have to do (this will only work with clans) is already have a strategy in the event of gate-camping.

I.e. A couple of players spawn as Goa'uld and the rest as Jaffa.
That way the Goa'uld can make a beachhead by gating to the SGC with raised shields (thus preventing turret fire), while the Jaffa follow after the Goa'uld and pew pew/flash the soldiers and scientists.

This requires team members ready to sacrifice themselves if they spawn as the first wave goa'uld.

Basically the goa'uld just need to stand on the catwalk with raised shields long enough for the Jaffa to follow.

But like I said this and similar plans will only work for clans with a strategy for each map. If it's a mix of players then coordination is difficult, and each player wouldn't want to sacrifice themselves to shield the other players, though ironically they will end up sacrificing themselves tenfold for not working cohesively.

YOU CANNOT STORM THE SGC INDIVIDUALLY AND EXPECT TO OVERCOME RESISTANCE.

i'll take that action, will need to find some back up to fill the team but your on.

The problem is that SL has no real way of fighting against gate room camping. Now people are going to say yes there is, do this do that. But this is a public game and co-ordinating a stratagy isnt the easiest thing to do. And if you dont like using TS, then your stuck even further down that preverbial river.

Even if we use the tactic mentioned above, send out a few goa'uld followed by jaffa. A few grenades/claymores and they just killed all of you in one swoop. Its doable given the right situation, but thats it, given the right situation and the right players.

True that.
We will just have to hold out for those upcoming SL turret busters.

Like i said on TS - gate room fighting is GREAT.
If you Kill the SGC, it takes them 10 sec to run back there.. (plus the spawn cooldown time)

If you dont like gate campers, too bad, use this skill you mention and beat them back - its too easy stop complaining.

well i'm not all twisted up about it, i just want to feel like i'm in the sgc, and the fuel storage room doesn't feel like the sgc at all. so i avoid it whenever possible. i prefer to battle in the corridors, gate room, control room, etc...

actually, they did create a cannon sgc, but in testing, they decided it was too cramped for a shooter, so they made a new one that was bigger all around, and added a large center room that they thought was plausible.

but it's not like i'm just whining about stuff and not playing (well, not playing now, my motherboard died and i'm on an old laptop right now, but sometime this week i'll be back in game, so watch out). it's a stargate game, and that's what i've craved for over a decade, so i'll play it regardless. if they made a map of buckingham palace, i'd probably be like, what the #### is this map?, but as long as there's staff weapons and p90's, i'll play it.

and camping is part of a shooter. one of the first promo pics was of an sg team camping the gateroom, so they obviously want it to happen. and again, that's how it is in stargate. if someone can't handle it, they should go to a different map, or adjust their tactics. no matter how pinned down they are, good tactics can tip the balance. i would never camp a severely outnumbered team, but when teams are even, then sure i'll do it, and if they can't push us back, then that means that we're better then they are. victory is victory, no matter how it is achieved. winning is fun of course, but if you can't deal with loosing too, then maybe you should still be playing doom with god mode turned on.

Happy to hear your comp will be working this week. I always enjoy having you in game Blevok.
