In another thread, camping the top of IT was mentioned and I was thinking of ways to break it. My personal fav is Team swat with magnums riding the lift to the 2nd floor. Then when it gets halfway to the top floor, I like to pull some john woo -blam!- and jump backwards while shooting whatever poor slob decided to camp next to the exploding barrel spot, maybe even get another kill or two. It shakes up the campers and gives my teammates who like to charge the hallway a chance of doing something other than dying in droves. Another bonus is when they dive off after you trying to get you for breaking up the fort. By that time with both pistols dry, if there's br I switch to that and finish with the others. If there is no br, then I just dodge and melee.

go to middle level, pretty much right above rocket just so you can see their ledge, and just chuck all of your grenades at the ceiling right above them.

TRIPLE KILL!

or they scatter. if they do come back, just do it again, there's plenty of grenades in that area. now they're worried about grenades and your rushing teammates should have a better time making the push up there

The A button is your friend. Don't bother running up there in a straight line; jump out into the hallway!

Lmao, seriously Kevin there is no need to be going to every thread and calling someone who isn't as good as you a noob. It makes the forums a very unhappy place.

Back on topic, i usually chuck grenades up and tell my teammates to run in from the sides.

Thats kinda hard to do in SWAT since there are no nades.

If you want to break any setup youll need to come at it from its weakest point. If I want the top on Ivory tower, I usually send two to shotgun side and two to OS side and get them in a pinch.

It depends. If i have my party i use one of them to double jump up there. I get on top of him. I jump. He jumps. I jump again.
Usually ill have sword. I can settle for shotgun too.

If not. I throw grenades at the ceiling and wait for OS to spawn.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

Eat their marshmallows. No marshmallows = no smores. No smores = no camping.

Hide some rotten meat in their camp and wait to see if bears come.

Wrecktified you didn't do so well in that Hardcore game we played..not to say it was your fault. Whoever grabbed the sniper in the beginning and lost it basically lost the game for us. They key to CTF on sanctuary is to get your whole team to control the mid at first, then push and spawn kill them.

Also on that double team game.
http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo2.aspx?gameid=746450 410&player=ElvinFury
when I have the sniper you really need to defend me. I had it at BR2 while you were at the sword spawn for some reason (It was rifles) then you went to sniper 1 while I was being double teamed and trapped by grenades. Well when we did get the sniper back and had the set up at sniper tower, when you're at S3 you should stay at that ramp and just give me as much cover and pick off the ones I damage. You shouldn't head back down to S1 to check since I have that area covered. You can walk back a few steps to regain shields and check the catwalk, but thats about it unless we decide to switch spots. If someone does go down to S1 then you should go and chuck a few nades down that hole since he's basically trapped.

The Sniper Tower setup is pretty much impenetrable if done right in a 2v2 or perhaps a 3v3 game.

You would have gotten tons more kills if you would have just picked off the enemies that I weakened.

Edit: whoops, wrong topic

Thanks again for all the tips guys, I'll try the nades the next time we're playing team slayer and during swat, I'll try to get my team mates to work together. It's difficult to get the other players working together when they won't talk. I have learned that jumping seriously increases survivability, but my aim goes down the toilet. Guess I just need to work on it.
