Really no hill camping???

[rabidsnypr]

So when did this rule apply on The hill map?

 

People have been doing it since Renegade came out.

edit: You should be more worried about snipers camping then hill camping

It's been like this since October 2016, right from the Server Rules topic : Hourglass is now NO HILLCAMPING! Shooting the enemy base is NOT allowed, you may only shoot tanks up there! However, you CAN shoot their buildings from enemy side of the hill.

It cripples the gameplay, people only rush arties/MRLS up the hill, kill ref/pp, and then it becomes a snipefest for another 30 minutes.

It's not exactly an uncommon rule. It means that people are forced to use more than one strategy to win Hourglass. The alternative being a race to the hill when you earn 450 credits: BORING.

I think mrls can hit any building like nod though on the hill (correct me if im wrong) and in that regard dont see much wrong with hill camping. 

That being said I dont mind the way it is now. Its super edged towards gdi now (assuming all teamwork is equal) imo. But this rule change has been in place for some time now. Really shouldnt come as a surprise.

I don't agree. Nod is still really powerful when it comes to clearing the hill, and they can easily launch Stank rushes from here, how they always do.

We had the same rule on all of my previous clan run public servers and n00bstories. Both of those communities' admin teams found that teamplay was crushed when Hourglass turned into a whorehouse. Lets focus on our teammates and what we can accomplish together, not what some rouge Arty/MRLS can do.

I love Hourglass, heck I even like losing on Hourglass if it means a good defensive base camp. It's a really thrill repelling 10 flame tanks or Mammies!

Well sure nod is better when there isnt any teamwork from gdi. Im just saying if both teams are working together imo gdi is better. Within seconds you can have multiple mammoth tanks hitting obb. Stanks dont have the range to be effective until they are about halfway down the hill or more. Gdi can put shots on the obb from the hill forward. 

Again just my thoughts, I think the rule as it stands is just fine
