*Cough*Aleph Res*Cough*

Why do people think aleph res is the answer? Aleph res only forces them to fly off the camp, and move back 1k, other then that nothing. It doens't kill bases or anything, and it only kills the slow people.

You pretty much need Res3 to kill the towers that really matter.

The reason the same maps are played over and over again is because they work, there are close to an infinite amount of ways the game can play out, the sectors link logically allowing for flanking ops/teles to kill miners and a wide array of offensive actions, a sensible amount of safe sectors, etc. HiHigher and the like offer many ways to play the game without the players or commander being frustrated by map design (one choke sector guranteeing early op/op combat, stupid back sectors that can be sealed off preventing miner O unless you're Tac).

ACS forum has more details and a huge map tactics page showing the basis of all common strategies but of course the game is totally dynamic and is suspect to change at any time.

res is the answer!

you can kill giga lt bases with enough res /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Res is useful for some things. Killing the slow people is still usually about half the people camping. Clearing towers and mines and making sure there are no proxes on the aleph is worth doing. You can use a big loud res-run to slip some sbs or tp2 scouts through, usually. Ever since Noir made large shields res resistant I've been wanting to try throwing a dev through an aleph with the res to hold them at the aleph while a cruiser comes in after the res is over. SY costs are still pretty high though, and I usually don't comm goofoff games or 5 hour games.
