Subject: Why on Uncaged...

...does no one bother to try to control the tower?

It pisses me off to no end when someone takes all the time and effort to come clear me out of there, only to run right back out to their death, or go jump off the top and run about on their merry way.

It's one of the very strongest points on the map. Why not bother to try and control it?

Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

The real question is why Uncaged is in matchmaking.

Because most people get bored of sitting in one spot the whole match. Sure you can sit up there the whole time and get a perfection or 1-2 deaths but some people would rather have action moving around the map, that's just more fun to them.

Randumbs will always run off into random directions after flushing out hostiles and not bother employing map control.

*edit* Find a power weapon, like a shotgun, and if searching as a random, camp.

I share this account with my brother and friend.
If you got destroyed, it was me.
If you had a decent challenge, it was my bro.
If you observed said account struggling to aim, shoot, or move separately, it was my friend.

Dunno brah. When I actually still went into TS I would grab shotty snipe and use the bodies I collected to decorate that area.

I wouldn't worry about it though. Just dashboard the next time you see it.

I suppose I should've been more clear. I primarily play in the Team Snipers playlist, where Uncaged is the map of choice i'd say at least 2/3 of the time.

What tower are you referring to? Are you talking about the snipe tower or the Cage?

Snipe tower.

Snipe tower can get very cramped. I suggest controlling the cage and top mid, and the walk way where the health packs are.

Snipe tower.

In FFA, it's a decent place to be because you have people spawning underneath you, but you only get to see about a third of the map. You also aren't close to any key power weapons.

In Team games, I'd have everyone top mid and in the Cage jetpacking around.

There is a Grenade Launcher tho'.

But getting it leaves you open to people who will inevitably spawn in snipe tower. It's a lose/lose either way. My suggestion would be to run around the entire watching the power weapons and cleaning up easy kills.

You have a good point there, but you're not that long away, are you?

  • 12.01.2011 11:43 PM PDT

It's within sprinting distance yes, but still. If you're caught there, someone spawning at snipe tower will have an easy kill right in front of them.

I say it's 50/50. Since the spawns are retarded they can indeed spawn there, but they will most likely spawn somewhere with less people.

Well, you don't usually match against any half-decent players in social, so I just do whatever and it always works out.

I agree with Sanuel. In team slayer on uncaged, especially slayer pro, I usually stay in the cage because you have so many sight lines on people from the hallway across and great view of snipe tower. Plus, usually there's always a dipshet or two near snipe spawn where you can chuck frags at. I've gotten a few awesome sticks from the cage there.

Ive only seen the Sniper Tower used effectively for the whole match once or twice. I had a teammate wh0re a shotgun & sniper there with no deaths, but that seems to be the exception in games I've played on that map. Normally, as the OP mentioned, if someone starts mudering players from that postion, say with a sniper, (which does happen often), the team or multiple indivduals march over a deal out some killing, then retreat back to the top of the map. Personally, I spend little time there, except if spawned there. Sight lines from the sniper spawn make layers too vunverable.The tower is where I usually go to die. Regards.

Because if u control the lift, the walkway/elbow, the rocket spawn and the cage you can force your opponent to spawn in the tower and spawn camp them

By far the worst map on mm.
