Baserace

[RedHawk JR.]

im not sure if ive seen baserace on the jay1 or jay2 servers. it was always a fan favorite of mine. judging by looks of some inputs. it doesnt seem like other players like it. just trying to start conversation. but def would maybe like to see it come back in the future. if its my position to state that. thanks guys.

 

p.s...always enjoyed the holiday festive packs (gringe soldiers, candy cane landmines, jingle bell granades, etc.) hope to see those patches and packs running closer to the holidays. just the 2 year old coming out in me. lol

 

GODSPEED!

Baserace in is on both rotations and will only be played on Jay2 when enough players are on.

[RedHawk JR.]

ah. thank you. i wasn't sure. Ive been playing with FA on jay2 server for about month now and havent seen it on rotation. Thanks for the reply!!

It is like TerrorBot said.  DareDevil was on jay2 once and explained that while the server has 30(?) maps, which maps play depend on how many players are on.  You will see the bigger maps used when many more players are on.  We got a good taste of that on the last GameDay on Jay#2.  http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/60935-wet-june-summer-game-day-event/

Baserace is one of the most underrated maps in ET. Players should understand that it is a tactical and strategic map and the way you build your base makes all the difference between fun and drudgery. The most common mistake even the most experienced players do is grab the first two easiest boxes available and build the wire fences without understanding the synergy bonuses. These synergy bonuses give a huge advantage and can turn the tide of the flow of the game in favour of the weaker team.  There was a comprehensive Baserace Mission Guide which I am afraid is now only available through the Internet Wayback Machine.

 

Here it is

This is a quick 10 point configuration guide about the various combinations of base building.

and the synergies put in a beautiful simple format

My favourite strategy when I play Baserace is Build the spawn to level 2 and the Tactical to level 2, which gives the covert warp pad which can give the covert op speedy access to the enemy base. Further developing this strategy by building the Engineering to level 4 which not only gives a forward outpost in addition to activating the Landmine sentry which plants landmines all over the base without the Engineer having to do nothing.

Ooooh!  I didn't know all this!  

[Night Hunter]

with other admins were talking about the possibility of removing baserace ftom silent1 as already said is one of the most hated maps .......

thanks did not know this  goofy

 

 

 

I let the truth thinking what he said

[Phil-O]

I have to say I love Baserace. Before joining F|A I had a year-long spell of playing ET, on a server called 24h-baserace. It was all I needed

 

Now I always look forward to it being played on NQ3, my fav server. I did know about all those synergies etc. but thanks Goofy for the great in depth info!

 

I totally share your opinion about the versatility of the map, plus I just love the concept altogether.

 

Happy fragging and building

Baserace seems to be one of those player-polarizing maps. Either you love it, or hate it. I've always loved it.

 

I don't think it's on Hardcore, is it?

[doctordan70s]

I have to think it wasnt one of the most hated maps as it was constantly being voted on to be played.I personally love the map.It looks like while I was on vacation it was removed *Sigh*

[RedHawk JR.]

a previous server i gamed with played it once every other map. almost same concept as 24h. BR, but a small bit different. lol

My now-computer has better graphics than the low-graphics I had to play with before, and I can actually see the symbols on the pads, instead of just blue and red blurs.  It all makes more sense now!
