Your Sand Castle / Roadblock!!

Post by RAWSwampFox »

Good Afternoon,

Wanted to start a thread for pictures of your roadblock skills! NOTE: I put these in my Google Drive and shared them from there. To do this properly, copy the URL that Google gives you into Notepad. Replace the first part of the URL with http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0B5KWyCK6HdYwOW5ueGx3amx3c0U << the bold underlined portion is the actual key to the file. Keep this in the URL and delete the information after it as well.

Razorwire wall on Kokan going west from K8.

Cache is behind these in the shed in the medical complex on Fallujah.

Image

Well, this one was funny as the cache was still spawnable when I placed this. I put another 5m in the room to the left to confuse the enemy more. Quite funny.

Image

This is on Fallujah somewhere around I5 or I6. The second from the left is where the cache is. I made these tall by driving a car into the garage and placing the 5m roadblock on top of it. You have to be careful because it will engulf the car making it effectively stuck. Also, you can only get about 6 of these tall 5m roadblocks out of one car.

Those are beautiful, man. I really need to explore some of these new civi tactics on insurgency. The only thing that has kept me from doing so for the past few weeks has been the influx of new players who would shoot me on sight. I guess that's the point of being a civi, but it also makes things less fun. In your opinion, has this cooled down a bit over the past week? (haven't played for 10 days or so).

An attempt to make a bridge using roadblocks in Fallujah

Good use of roadblocks for cover :D

A very effective way to place roadblocks on Fallujah.

X marks the spot for a really good Spg.

I've used an SPG on that position before and it was awesome. Really good concealment and line of sight.

Good Evening,

Ok, there was a bit of discussion on a server today on Fallujah about roadblocks and how they were being glitched. Well, I'm having a bit of difficulty coming to the conclusion that they are being glitched when being used to block entrances to a building. For example, you can block the three entrances to the basement of the hospital if you need to and it is great defense. An enemy team that is not very coordinated will complain about not being able to overcome the roadblocks with C4 and scream about glitching.

For those of you that have had the same difficulty blocking the east side like me, look at the picture below:

Image

The west side and the hole can be easily covered up with 1 - 10m roadblock each. For the west, stand at the green doors for the west hallway and place it there. Practice at it. For the hole, you can totally cover it up as well as the little room with a 10m and make it stand tall. Again, practice.

Now, here's another look at roadblocks on top of a building surrounding a cache. NOTE: If you place a roadblock on a cache, it will blow it up so you have to be careful about how you place them.

Players might be hardcoded, but that sure doesn't seem to stop anybody from trying.


The only winning move is not to play. Insurgency, that is.

At least they will save you from APC and CAS tho :D

HAHAHA... little did you realize what you had unleashed...

Had you not seen Swampfox's work before? ;-)

How could you DEVs not foresee this ^ LOL...

I didn't know the insurgents had access to cranes and shovel cars, all for the purpose of dumping trash on rooftops.

Assets should not be able to go on 2nd floors, or pile up on each other.

Seriously. It's cool, but no way can stuff like this be placed down during a battle IRL.

Good Afternoon,

Now the rooftop pictures were someone else's doing. I think it was Karl's. That guy can build a roadblock on a lamp post.

But still, is it the game mechanics that dictate where these types of assets can be built? I mean, I've built 2 MG's and a TOW on the water tower before with no issues. Now, one of the MG nests usually is separated from the water tower by half a meter making it an island where you have to jump to get to it.

hehe, we did foresee it, and even discussed ways of making it harder to not use them like this although most of the ideas that popped up weren't possible, at least in the short run to implement.

Instead I mainly worked on making them easier to place than old deployables :p

Well it was great, I shed a lot of tears of laughter over this one... I never laughed so hard on this forum.

Thanks Karl/Swampfox!

Wow, if you did foresee this then hats off to you guys, I was being facetious, thinking there was no way the DEVs could ever envisage ppl managing "works of art" like these above.

Your Mother of God face seemed to sum it all up nicely and perfectly express your dismay. I was literally nearly ROFL. Very well spoken!
