Who still does baiting?

[JohnTheRipper]

Now this i've done in an older version (forgot which) in Al Basrh where my squad would have like 3 or 4 civilians in it running around the high grass causing British soldiers to try to capture them. Then once in range Me and another guy or 2 pop up and spray automatic fire into the British troops then quickly going back down and move to another part of the field.

anyone still see or use this tactic?

Haven't use this tactic with civilians noir in Insurgancy. Used something similiar on Fools Road. Set up 2 IED's near the bridge, asked SM to atract it, he shoot a few round on the BTR-60, APC started moving to the IED's and KA-BOOM.

Nope, the civvies get shot up and enjoy a 2 minute respawn timer before the troops get close...

Not so much with Civis anymore, but I still use it on Korengal and Fallujah.

i used to but now they just shoot civies anyway and the civie comes off worse with a 200second respawn.

Being civilian now sucks a hairy pair of danglers, getting shot as soon as you go near a Brit and waiting over 3 minutes to respawn is not fun.

I think it'd be better if your spawn time was dependent on the kit you want to spawn with, so if you died as a civilian you could spawn as another class with a shorter spawn time and still be in the game without having a civvy spam.

Whuddya think? Hardcoded?

Did this with a bomb car - shot the original driver out of the car and people kept coming, and I'd snipe them. I am amazed they didn't react whatsoever.

Baiting really works...I was set up close to the british FOB (on al basrah) and I just ran around a corner, made sure I caught the eye of a brit than ran around where they came into a deployed PKM and a AK47

I fell for a bait once, chased a civi into a crowd of them. Needless to say I was stoned to death pretty quickly.


Vehicles are also good bait if you are Coalition though. I was one of two snipers on Bashrah ont he hotel roof, we were for the most part camping the Mosque since the Insurgents stopped getting on the rooftops. A few technicals were at the spawn and we just waited for them to get in, a few moments later and a pile of bodies littered the ground and the inside of the technicals.
