Off limit areas for Turnpike

Are there any? Or do we just go by whats in the Map guide?
The Hitman Cometh, The Hitman Taketh, The Hitman Arias

Sounds to me like you have something in mind, and if nobody says you can't go there, you prolly are. Fill us in Hitman!

there really aren't any areas i would say that should be offlimits. there are some pretty wacky places for FC's to hide, but then again, the map is so open there's really no reason to limit this.

hehehehe @ Uncle Ben, I wish I had a secret way to keep [e] from capping!

I was referring to ledges. For example, in teh red spawn, waaay in teh back...it takes a player to get boosted to teh ledge above. When killed, the flag doesn't fall, so it stays up there. Sure it's out in teh open.

Now, an offending team needs to get up there to get the flag back, but being that its in teh red spawn, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the flag back. Any concerns over this?

Sure, give our only advantage over [E]

Just kidding, we just want to make sure we are playing by the rules.

or you could just sit there and sr8 them everytime they try to get it
after a minute ur flag will be returned


POD playin E?

Pod you probably wont have to worry about flag stand offs.

well just to be fair there are 2 places over on the blue side you can get up to on ledges that offer the same type of flag defense, but you can get to them without a booste, so to be fair I would say all ledges red or blue are ok. Cause you will never get up with or without a boost, while trying to return your flag.

Thanks for the insight guys. Wasn't sure about the ledge thing so I had to ask.

S!n!ster, we are playing [e] and no...Im not really worried about flag standoffs as it is probably gonna be more flags for them then anything else! "Train kept a rolling, all night long" hehehehehehe

I just wanted to make sure we were going to play this map under guided rules. Don't want to break the law our first season in! We'll save that for next season.

Anyways, it has been an interesting season. Thanks to all the teams that showed us what an a$$ kicking is all about, and thanks to those we made somewhat close. We look forward to the next season. I'm on my way to the United nations to ask for more troops!

both teams have ledges and frankly, those ledges make returning the flag much easier than the other spots each team have to hold a flag in a stand off.

don't worry about breaking the law, Hitman...yer aaahhhll goooood.

Boosted spots for flag carriers should be off limits in my opinion. The boosted spot on red isn't particularly good compared to the spot on the boxes, but still...

there's no boosting spots on turnpike. all the areas can be reached by the environment.

but, i totally agree with you yodle. boosting an FC is unsportsmanlike.

to be honest, i'm looking forward to a play off schedule with a different mix of maps.

there is a boost spot right in front of the red flag, you need help to get to that ledge

We know of at least 2 spots on both red and blue that can boost an FC. Hence my basis for posting this question.

yer also dead meat if you go there and the flag will drop if you get killed up there.

the red spawn ledges don't require boost, if i'm picturing the right ones. the ledge near the blue flag (by the stairs) also doesn't require a boost nor does the ledges over the door near blue spawn. either way, it's tougher to get back up to recover the dropped flag than it is to prevent that from happening. also, don't underestimate the power of nades, sometimes you can knock the person off the ledge and then the flag falls. either way, the other 2 or 3 common places to hide the flag offer great protection as well as allow the carrier to move around freely to avoid death. on a ledge, the carrier is a sitting duckie.

We will be at a disadvantage as Apes can climb to areas we cannot.

What do you mean? You're going to change the playoffs maps?? I'm confused.

Cakes, that's not true if you face toward the wall when you're up there.

If anyone believes there are spots that are ONLY reachable via boosting, could they post a demo please?

there is a spot that is ONLY reachable by a boost from a teammate. Right in front of the red flag, that ledge can only be gotten to by jumpin on top of another player.
