Suggestions for dealing with chainsaw crate campers?

[Tribersman-FR]

there a worst problem than that

it's the sniper who stuck themself in the wall and continu to shoot
I m a chainsawer (camp is banned of my way of life)

and it's impossible to hit that guy with every weapon ...

I haven't play on a server without grenade yet but it's always a problem when the grenade can't stay near him or touch him

well teamchat and ask for a couple people to get m79 and law and blast the **** out of him....teamwork

As mentioned earlier we are specifically talking bout the !Elite Snipe & Slice! server in which the only 4 implements of death are the barret, chainsaw (which is, coincidentally, the atagonizor), knife and the good old one-two Mohammahd Ali style (terrible spelling)punch. Grenades are not available. Neither are m79's or laws. You strategy would prove most effective at another server.

Nades would ruin the server. Crate camping is pretty lame, but in the long run people who do it are completely ineffective. All they do is kill the occasional person that runs past them. It's pointless to even bother worrying about it.

They do more than kill the occasional person that runs past them. They kill the flocks of idiots who constantly try to kill them and end up doing exactly what the camper wants them to do.

Flocks of idiots? And what do you suggest they should try and do if the sawer is gaurding the flag and the object of the game is to GET THAT FLAG? They know that the sawer is making it hard so they try and kill them. If they dont kill them they are idiots. You got it round the wrong way.

Yeah, I think people are not understanding the problem. It's not that these campers pose a huge threat by their chainsawing but that this tactic makes them so very, very difficult to kill, either just holding the flag, retreating from sniping, or waiting to grab. I tried the diving with the saw into the box, and that seems to work okay -- at the very least, I can hope to get the kill even if I die in the process.

I was playing that server today. I usually run really fast then jump over the crate, attack from the back. They're usually to slow to react.

That was gonna be my suggestion. Run, jump (with a smidgen of jet to avoid his saw), turn, prone, jet (to reduce your horizontal motion), and saw. The great thing is that they have to stand up before turning around, so you get about 1/2 second once they realise you're not about to run blindly into them.

I haven't tried this, btw, but it sounds like a plan to me.

Ok guys, I figured since it's my server I'd better comment.  I can't enable the grenades, for obvious reasons.  But I will tell my admins to watch for that crate bug and if people don't comply they will be kicked and names will be taken down.  More than one offense will result in bans of greater penalty with each case.  Thank you for brining this to my attention.

It's not a bug, people just get annoyed by it, apparently. I wouldn't consider it an offense.

Your server, your rules, I guess.

Use m79.  It will likely do the same thing.  Either that, or jump over the crates.

it actualy takes skill to use saw,u have to be sneaky,fast, etc
