that base was pretty bad.

[DHRUVINATOR]

Lol at both bases.

[whitebear]

Aliens

-Anything with floor trappers, high-ceiling acids, or hives. Why? Common knowledge among regular alien builders;

What are you talking about? They work just fine in highrise. xD

[Valour250]

the worst wat to build a human base is having all the turrets forward leaving the back of your base naked, noobs do this alot and then a goon comes along and hops past it all and the react and nodes are gone, all the while humans are out rushing aliens....

[Harlequin]

Build a human base to the plantroom in NIVEUS.

It kills the game, no fun at all... tyrs camping at the doors, humans in base, no way out or in

Once I was playing with a base like this, and I got a strange feeling to decon or nade the whole thing up...

Worst base: Human Edition

Against a wall (wall view):
                                                                Platform
                               Staircase                                                                      Staircase
Away from the wall (overhead):                                                                                                            Passage
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                             

Weakness? NO MEDIPAD OR ARMORY! TWO SPAWNS!!! THAT'S IT!!! Humans lost after two dragoons. Go figure, with NO ARMORY!!!
Always have an armory. No base works without one. I think the map was arachnid 2... not sure. The one with crate walls.

Pure  = Fail (unless you manage to find a rly good spot to hide DC so its unsnipable and rushable).

[ChaosSquirrel]

Actually, ?Niveus? has a good tes-defense.

The base lasted well into sudden death, though the teslas were damaged by tyrants and had to be replaced occasionally.

[Despairation]

Where's the DC?

[ChaosSquirrel]

Oh, forgot about that. That's what I forgot to add. It's near the reactor, I forgot exactly where...

[maxell]

once i played a map which was setted like:


       
---|             |------------------



 




human says "ohh noo, there is adoor behind the rc....."



(comes from the window room in Niveus)

[Samurai.mac]

Clever...

i was once playing and our base was being built on aracnid and when i was running back into my base with 50 hp by retarted builder build an armory infront of me so with my limited indurence i couldn't make it in and was malled by the tyrent behind me

   
      
            
             
   
         
       

[mooseberry]

[ChaosSquirrel]

Yeah, the one thing that really sucks is an accidental/stupid TK at S3. That can change the tide quickly.

[Amtie]

Most of all when, on atcs, a lucibsuit sits, camps and spams at the middle ramp in human base, and a helmet/larmor/luci guy jumps down the gap between the base and the middle wall thing, as a fully-charged lucifer cannon eats his ass end. 860 credits down the drain. Especially with that bugged retribution.

[ChaosSquirrel]

I played a bad base recently. Stairs on Nexus, as human. Very bad idea. As in, goon hop.

[Foe of Eternity]

Worst base in ATCS (Human):

|       |                  |
|====|============|

[Le Compilateur]

Here is one of the worst ATCS bases I have ever seen. Note the almost total lack of defenses where it counts most, at the telenode (the single telenode).

And, of course, everyone was off killwhoring instead of actually making the base good. This was during a brief lull in the conversation.

Needless to say, this one got totally obliterated in about three minutes. It only stayed up that long because I was making constant repairs.

More awful bases to follow...

This one is from Arachnid2.

The OM and eggs, plus the barricade at the bottom of the shaft, basically ensured our defeat.

I didn't get a picture of this one, so...
                                                         
                                                   
                                                         
One node and a bunch of blocking turrets. Need I say more?

And finally, the worst base ever:

<-- Dunno where the rc was.





— Uh oh, better get outta here!

[Metsjeesus]

Top of bunker base can be effective on high bp allowed servers. It needs a teamwork, good communication and more then 7 players jetcamping on human side. 4-5 MD/lasgun jetpackers, 1 repairer and jumping goon will be dead goon, all other aliens cant get up there, so its relative safe. Its good basis to make base on ground

But this is really bad, i admit. 1 dretch can kill 4 turrets.

[Le Compilateur]

If the others had taken the time to build properly, perhaps it would have been a much better base. The lack of defenses on the stairs made it possible for one of these to charge past everything and destroy the rc and node.

  + = x 0

[ChaosSquirrel]

Bases should never feature an RC in a strait line from the door. Or nodes. Or arms. Or any major structure.

[Le Compilateur]

Agreed.

[ChaosSquirrel]

I just played in a bad base. I don't recall the map, but there were more than six turrets between the nodes and the arm, and they blocked each other.

[Le Compilateur]

When I played a game with this base, it felt like someone was acting as though the reactor were the most important structure.

[Vamprah]

i like this atcs base in the middle
