[MilitaryRP] Anti-Basecamping Module (US Edition)

[Cold Soldier 184]

Hello! Have you ever been walking outside of your base for war and was killed by an Afghan immediately? Then congratulations! For you were just basecamped. Although it may seem frustrating, altering your playstyle may make basecamping a waste of time for the other side, and in this module, you will be taught how to avoid and counter the basecampers.

Chapter One: Tips and Tricks in gameplay

 

Chapter Two: How to handle basecamping

 

Chapter Three: A visual Showing (US Base)

 

Chapter Four: What if you do not have a sniper?

Chapter One: Tips and Tricks in gameplay

 

Introduction: Although it may not seem important, tweaking various habits in your gameplay can make it more difficult for you to be sniped while on your way to the objective.

 

1.  First, do not run in a straight line to the objective. Most obviously, if you are predictable, it will be easier to snipe you, which also means basecamping. So while you are leaving base, strafe (run zig-zag) and/or run periodically to make your movement unpredictable, and harder to kill.

2. Secondly, listen carefully to the shots around you. If you hear gunshots, it means a fight is happening, if you are not in combat and you cannot account for the gunfire, that means it might be an Afghan. 

3. Then, utilize callouts in your country’s radio or teamspeak channels. Although this may be done already, it is imperative that the positions of snipers are called out for other soldiers to account for. An informed soldier is an advantaged soldier.

4. Lastly, if you cannot achieve a fair fight against an opponent, then find another way to equalize the chances of yourself winning the engagement. For example, an enemy sniper has positioned himself on a hill and is headglitching, while you are in the open. The best course of action is to disengage and break line of sight as soon as possible and attempt to equalize the chances of winning the engagement. (In other words, if someone is headglitching, don’t try outsniping them, it generally does not work).

Chapter Two: How to handle basecamping

 

Introduction: Now that you have a sufficient grasp on a way to improve your game, we can address the topic: basecamping. If you die near your base and you are unaware of where you were shot from, try to think like this:

 

1. First, think of any possible locations you were shot from. Any possible headglitch spots, your blindspots (behind you), and make a decision. Either check out the area where the possible basecamper is and kill them, or avoid the area altogether and flank past it to the objective. 

2. If you decide to return to the area and attempt to kill the basecamper, first, inform your team in radio or teamspeak, that an enemy is near your base and to look out. Then, attempt to take another route than the one previously, while making your way to the area the basecamper is in. 

3. If there is nobody in the area, then you may push forward to the objective. If there is a basecamper, take them out.

4. If you decide to avoid the area, you can leave through the other gate in your base and move through the Embassy instead. Although this may be risky for the other side moving through, it’s better than dying in the same spot over and over again.

5. A third option that some may choose: which is to snipe the basecampers from your walls/towers. This method may work if the basecamper is within render distance of your base. Generally, this should be used as a last resort, but is still a valid option.

6.Another decision could be to spawn a car and use that car to flank around the basecampers using said car. It would make flanking faster, but is risky if another enemy sees the vehicle, as you can be killed inside the car.

Chapter Three: A visual Showing (US Base)

 

Introduction: Now that various options to counter basecamping are established, a visual representation of the map (Delta V1, I do not have V2) may help. As this is the US edition, the map will show the spots near US Base.

 

1. General Spots to look for basecampers (marked by red X’s)

In this map, these 6 spots are the main spots surrounding US Base that can be used to basecamp. However, there may be spots outside of render distance that can be used. Very rarely, however, are all spots covered by Afghan Forces, so the US have room to flank, depending on the objective.

 

2. Shipment Only wars

In shipment only wars, these three spots (generally) are utilized by Afghan Forces to basecamp US and prevent them from getting to objective. The Orange and Green X’s can be countered by leaving South gate and flanking the snipers. While the purple X can be countered by hugging the north wall (edge of the map) and killing them once they are in your LOS closer to shipment. Shown below are various routes to take if one does not work:

The green is generally the safest and the red is the most dangerous (for reaching the objective). If you have a sniper (and a CQC weapon), then you have the option of following the red path to prevent Afghan Forces from pushing up to basecamp.

 

3. Silo Only Wars 

These are the spots (generally) that basecampers are, these spots can be countered by flanking and moving around.

The green route can be achieved by jumping out of the tower in the southeast corner of the US Base. If the green and orange route do not work, then flank using the red route, which although is risky, can receive a good angle of basecampers from EMB and can even make it to Silo through that area.

 

3. Embassy Only Wars

These spots are commonly used by Afghan Forces to basecamp. However, Embassy wars have the most variety in terms of flanking around these spots.

The two green routes can be used to prevent Afghan Forces from basecamping the US base. The Embassy bridge has a red X on it, do not run on the EMB bridge to try to get to the Embassy, you are exposed to fire without cover, while the enemy does. If Afghan are in different spots than outlined above, then flank according to their spot.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Chapter Four: What if you do not have a sniper?

 

Introduction: Although many players have access to a sniper (donator or faction), some players do not. In this chapter, there will be an outline on possible decisions to make, to maximize the possibility of winning.

1. First, it’s imperative that you attempt to run from cover to cover and pick your fights. Generally, attempt to close the distance between you and your enemy (get into CQC fights). 

2. If you are too far from a sniper, then flank around and catch them off guard.

3. If all else fails, then avoid the basecamper altogether, press U and call it out in US radio and continue to the objective.
 

Conclusion: Congratulations, you now have the skills and tools to defend yourself against basecamping from the Afghan Forces. The next edition for the Afghan Forces will be written to create an environment where baecamping becomes a bad strategy during war.

To add on some tips to help yourself counter base camping :

1. Disable 3D Sky. To do this as soon as you load into the server Hold C > Bottom of Your Screen > Disable 3D Sky. This will help for visibility, and snipers should generally pop up as little dots on your screens when rendered in.

 

2. Looking downwards while trying to see a person far away can actually load them in. If you know or suspect there is a sniper in the distance, you can look slightly down or look Left or Right adjacent to where the enemy is to render them in your screen. This can give you the advantage to dip out of fight back.

 

3. Half Life 2 Zoom Key

 

If you to settings > keyboard and look for the option called “zoom” you can bind this to your keyboard. This basically now gives you a toggled pair of binoculars that is very clutch in some situations. If you are having trouble identifying an enemy, hit the zoom button and really shut them in. Note : You cannot shoot while zoom, so use this sparingly while running or strafing.

 

4. Cars

Veichles. You have them at both gates, especially for CQC players just drive in a large sweeping circle to flank and jump the basecampers.
