Sandbag walls pretty useful? - Page 2

Yeah, I've seen them used in good spots before. I think it just depends on the scenario and the landscape.

Not entirely true, there are a couple of dips where 2 bags meet that you can fire through when crouched. Very limited FoV though.

It all depends where its placed and what kind of targets your coming up against.

Very very nice. So could you tell me the general area you set them up, would be much appreciated because Mestia is a tough map what ever team you play on. To win you really need to combine tons and tons of tricks and tactics, all of which can take ages to learn/discover, so any quick ones other people know already can be a real help.

They work well in conjuntion with other assets, esp the firebase.

The general consensus is right: its free, so go for it!

Top cat: the backsides (north sides) of the Towers are very vulnerable, setting up sandbags here will give you excellent cover where there is typically none. The trick is not to get into a sniping game with them, and let them get close. Let your squadmates inthe bunkers spot the troops, so you know roughly where they coming from. WHen they get close, pop up and waste them with a full mag, then pop back down in hiding.

They will eventually figure out this trick, but if you got enough sandbags you can alternate positions to keep the enemy on their toes..

They are also great for slopes, where you would normally have no cover and slide down the hill...

The sandbag walls shouldn't be on a big dirt base, they should be "SANDBAG WALLS"... eg... walls that you cannot jump over, but are high enough to shoot over.

They should be just like the razorwire, where it is a long/wide row of sandbags that can close gaps/entrances to flags.

The sandbags we have now are really useless I find. PR should actually have sandbag 'walls', and then have the current sandbags be a .50 cal emplacement for defense mounted on the 'turret sandbag'. That said, you would have a limited amount of .50 cal emplacements, though you really only need to deploy a 1 or 2 tops for any given flag.

But I'd still want proper sandbag walls, than big useless mounds that are a dead giveaway for enemies to look at.
