I found something interesting, by accident, that could change how demomen blow cap point 4 REALLY early. With the sandbags near the back of the church, I don't think a detpack would kill the other team unless they went right up to the detpack. I haven't done it intentionally yet, since I don't know if it is legal or not.

Are you asking if it is respawn killing, if the opposing teams happens to be spawning right down there by cap 3?

Well if it killed people I know that would be respawn killing, but I don't think it CAN kill anyone unless they go right up to the detpack.

They can't tried it before... I blew the back door right when we switch and We never had to blow it for the game I would always just sit there when they cap set it and then it gets restored then BANG!!!!! no mo door LOL it never killed anyone.

So, what I am really wanting to know is if it is a legal tactic that can be used in-game or if it is against the rules on theville.

I see it all the time, actually. The opposing team rushes by and immediately blows the church. I think it is a good strategy as long as you aren't in a respawn killing anyone.

What I was talking about was setting the detpack before the other team caps.

well if it dosent kill anyone and your good enough to guess then I wouldnt see why that would hurt, however I would think that it would be more fulfilling if you were to bust through the defense to get it IMO.

It depends, I've raised this topic before myself. If you can go and walk back there after the gates open, then it is legal. If you set it when you are still defending so it blows even before the gates open, or any time without you walking back there personally then it is not ok.

I actually talked to frag in-game about this becuase it happened again, go figure, I had just gotten in and all I knew that cap 4 was under attack, so I place a detpack to try to kill the people with the flag when they come through, but little did I know that right after I set the pack, they cap 4. After talking with him I found out that you can't do that. So actually to make sure I don't do it ever again, even by accident, I will not be placing detpacks there, I will place them inside the church a little further and closer to the cap point, if anyone has problems with that, please tell me.

Borg, if you set a 5 second det, that will never happen. I know it is tough to set and get out though. Plus you have to time it just right to get the enemy as they come around cap point 3. I quit setting more than a 5 second one in that area for the same reason.

That is definately what I am going to do. The interesting thing about all of this and my current demoman playing is that I never played demoman unless the team needed someone to combat the other team's demoman on a may like warpath.
