How the knees work.

In Response To: Re: AT-AT (Sep7imus [subnova])


It's a secret map hack.

But really, there's a grav lift up at each knee joint along with fusion cores(well, three of them at least, you're only allowed to place 4 lifts in total). The one down by the ramp that lets you enter the sneaky way is set to a 3 minute spawn time and there is a minimum of 1 on the map. Blowing out the legs, takes out the grav lifts and spawns a lift down there. Really only works perfectly on a one bomb gametype where the rounds are either 3 minutes or a little over (you can consider the grav lift spawning after 3 minutes as a gimme for the team that can't manage to take out the legs by then, though that rarely happens).

It's a bit tedious to take them out (or to "KP" them, which has unfortunately become the term some use) if there's a good sniper on the other team, but this secondary objective is pretty much necessary since the mouth of the thing is pretty tough to penetrate and easy to defend.

Of course you could always just fly the bomb in with the hornet too, but there are lasers on the neck and a turret to try and limit hornet spamming the top. The main use of the hornet is to quickly take out the knees (drive an ATV or a hog to it at the start and rush them). The turret is set so that it can't actually fire down toward a hornet doing this, but only when it's up above the thing where it would normally be used to whore the top.

With a good balanced group of 8, 4v4 is pretty damn fun, Plus it's damned cool when you're playing on and around an AT-AT.
