The things that annoy me most about ATCS.
1. People who join, call a vote for ATCS, and leave if their vote fails.
2. People who leave when they hit the next map in rotation after ATCS.

Taking out the OM solo with a painsaw rush in ATCS is rather easy since no alien bigger than a Dretch can go behind the OM :D

Also, about the 2 acid tubes on the ramp, I'll just say that it is possible to jump from one side of the room to the other, without using the ramp ;)

Still, it requires you to come to the alien base by the underground tunnel.

The only thing that makes ATCS Alien base kind of secure, apart from big Aliens, is good use of Trappers. Nothing is more annoying than Luci-jumping to the OM, only to find out you have been trapped and are being munched on.

Yeah, it is a failing I have ( probably too much psaw rush when I was young ). But honestly, when you want to luci the OM on ATCS? by all means do NOT go near the OM. Stay on the opposing ledge instead and only go to the place where the OM was once you've killed it :) That way, you can finish the hidden eggs without beehing bothered by those annoying trappers.

luci jumping up to the om is extremely effective when the granger builds the ever popular hovel on the ramp, and 3 tyrants stare in horror as you luci the om and then the eggs.

Thats why i always put tubes around the OM.
If nothing else, its plenty discouraging.
Side question, does anyone else use acid tubes to shield eggs from enemy fire, like a mini barricade?
Most people don't notice that they are there, and waste an extra clip on them.

And that's why I try to kill the OM from far away. As soon as you can see it, you can shoot it :)

The other reason is that killing an OM from close range with a luci hurts a lot.

I always put tubes around the OM, the hovel right in front of it to catch a few luci balls, and as many trappers as possible elsewhere.   Some tyrants have asked for the hovel to go, usually they don't, and I don't really know whether it does any good.  (The hovel does great as an exploding door muncher in Karith, though. :-)

Tubes shielding eggs might be good with lots of bp, but for normal bp I think trappers and defenders are more effective.   I can't count the times  all the eggs in an empty base were killed silently before the human scum even touched the OM, so a defender is essential (if only to sound the alarm after dying) .

I put the hovel on the stairs, but theres always goons and dretches to defend. Also, if i dont get the chance to move the om back that one foot, i just put an acid behind the om which is very effective against psaw rushers 8)

and yes, I've also tried the acids in front of eggs trick, but i like using those points on trappers.

I like ATCS. Its a fun map and is, in my opinion, the best map for clan wars. Its small, simple and even n00bs can play it.  :D

I'm all for this, this will be a welcome change since so many servers are ATCS only. ATCS is fun and all but the map really isn't all that great and I wished more players would be willing to play user made maps.

I hate it when a game has a map that is played to death on almost every server.

Good, I have no problem with kicking those that join a game 10 minutes in and then vote for atcs.
