You know, I don't remember asking for your comment RotateMan, so why don't you just stfu, okay? And so what if the bases aren't EXACTLY equal like I commented, -blam!- you too, go ahead and be as technical as you want -blam!-. And too bad that thread was all in good fun at the end, so back the -blam!- off and get over it -blam!-. As for the rest of you who are giving me -blam!-, your all a buncha -blam!-s, seriously.

Why do you keep sayin -blam- you retarded or something?! And if you don't like us then GO AWAY your such a whiner...



You wanna go Wessy, as you can see my comments are directed towards you as you're giving me -blam!-, so why don't you shut up.

If this form is so pointless and you think these people are retards then... why do you care what they say...? If you thought this form was pointless you would have left before anyone could comment on you.... lol

Please don't flame the wrong way. Remember the rules, do it in a respectful tone. If you want to do it the bad way, message each other! This post is not wasteless or stupid. Anyone can say that about any other posts. Anyways, I prefer the blue base, because of sniper rock. I get up there, and tear everybody up! No one can get a rocket or tank, because they're dead before they do!

bah

Both bases have their adavantages and disadvantages. But when you're being teamed up three to one, red base is a literal death trap. Sniper coverage occurs from five different places, so living for more than three seconds is rare. Blue base, on the other hand, is only covered with sniping from four positions, and sniper's hill is really far away so you don't need to worry if you keep moving. Blue base also has theadvantage of deep shadows behind it, and being blue, shadows become your friend.

i like the red base more... i have a better win ratio playing on red base... and the red base is closer to both the rocket and the cave with the overshield...

Exactly what applejacks said, you get the cave-sheild and the rocket launcher easiest from red base. However, both of them are equal when manned by good teams.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi

I prefer red, because of easy access to the rocket, plus I usually start by grabbing the sniper, popping through the portal and running up the hill to snipe the Blues. It takes like five seconds and I busting Sniper rounds in yo azz.

Yet really I could play from either one.

Red

Rockets are closer, and cave is closer are some perks.
The big mountain slope in the back of red Base is nice for many reasons too.
As for escaping with the flag it is easier for Red team. Think of it this way if you are driving with the flag it is best to drive on the left side which means you would pass by your own teleporter. So driving on the left side means you are passing home territory (teleporter) and the driver is less exposed (left side to wall of canyon). However, someone driving past the blue teleporter is much easier to hit than someone driving past the red one because red has much more hills. This actually ends up giving red base a huge advantage IMO. This is a much bigger difference than the other advantages of Red. Blue has some niceties, but they don't add up as well when compared to the escape with flag issue.

after building a 3d model of blood gulch for an art project, i would have to say that i prefer the red side because of the access to the rocket launcher and the sniping area and the teleportation to the overshield. although i do see the perks on the blue side as far as the nice mountain sniping area i just wish it wasnt that far away.

You have a HUGE advantage on red base if you position a sniper and tank on that ledge behind red base. If your playing with 8 ppl or more i'd say red base. It just like defending the Alamo for me.

Whatever Wessy, compared to you anything would be an intelligent statement. Anyway, I'd say Red would have the advantage over Blue, because of the hill enviroment behind and in front of the base. If you're playing with all vehicles, you can position a Scorpion on each of the highest points of the hills (In front) and bombard the Blues' base, keep one or two people covering the Scorps so they won't get a unexpected rocket in 'em, etc. You just keep the shells coming down on the base and let everyone else meet the rushers with Ghosts and Warthogs, but that's just my opinion.

Sorry about all that -blam!- Rotate, Wessy, etc. That really was quite retarded. And I was just kidding about my comment in the beginning of this post Wessy.

I like red team simply because you're more camoflauged, but I also like how there is a rather large sniper cliff behind the base.

I play on either, I think they are both equal and have there own advantages which makes them both equal. If I had to choose I would pick blue because of the advantage of hiding in the shadows.

I deffinitley have to say its equal:

Red base advantages:huge hill behind it, teleport keeps you relatively safe from snipers, easy to defend, sniper tower (the one with the ghost trick),

Blue base advantages: easy access to caves, great sniper points, fun to park your tank behind the red base without them noticing.

Overall...I think its the red base...but for each their own.
