NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

[rombaft]

OK, MEC, this is the way and it works.

Get in chopper, not assault one but transport one.
Go high and go to over ship guys will drop out and offcourse drop out also.

THEN, do not try to cape flags or kill US guys, just try to survive and run into ship, and hide.

then be squad leader and type in capitol letters to yur team .

"I AM ON SHIP JOIN MY SQUAD AND SPAWN ON SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

after some sec, guys start to join and spawn on ship and then type in capitol letters

"GUYS ON SHIP, LEAVE SQUAD, BE SQUAD LEADER YOURSELF SO GUYS CAN START SPAWNING AT YOU"

and this way it went, after some time the whole MEC team was on ship and even took it completely over .


OK, the only hard part is to land on ship and run into ship, but this isnt so hard, land not on the side of the US spawn point on deck, but more in the middle, there you have doors wich lead directly into the ship and there you have those small cabines where nowbody comes or look, there you can hide and start beeing the onship spawnpoint, it may take more then one time to land on deck and hide, but it does work

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

Given the # of anti-tanks and PKM' folk sitting on the top it might work. The key idea is that there are 3 tried and true ways to enter the ship, not just two. The deck, the rear transport area, and the south side portal. The last one is only applicable with helos, and it can be entered by both the hind and the transport helo (COW). My one tip is that you destroy your vehicle upon entering the carrier, if you don't your team will lose access to a form of transportation either until it self-destructs or in the case of a dubious navy seal engineers, never.

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

the idea of taking an apc and driving it into the bay and then waiting for the rest of your team to come over is easier XD

all those anto tank, pkm people on deck are all at one place on the deck, they all are at the US deck spawn point, so if you make a freefall to the middle of ship and land there, there is like a 95% chance they didn't see you at all, then there are doors into the ship, many, and lead to many very good hiding places, from there on, do like I said, and you will see, in very very short time the ship is full of MECS, and the flag caping begins

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

That would certainly work. Nice post.

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

It's a very hard map to play as MEC. USMC have a field trip in shooting any approaching boats, jetskis or helos as they try and enter the carrier.

I've only played it four times and each time ended up as USMC and what I usually do is grab a boat and sit on the MEC approach side of the carrier, against the side and use the mounted gun to ping any boats coming . It's a bit less conspicuous than standing on the upper carrier deck in full view of the MEC attack chopper which constantly rapes anybody up there.

Good tips for when playing as MEC dude..well done. :)

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

it works very well best thing to do tho is get in a spot where hardly any US goes and then have em spawning on u

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

nice strat it would work too. But i never go mec on that map only if i needed my purple heart. Its slaughter

[AlphaNut]

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

Very true indeed. Once you get a few squads of MEC onto the ship, and make sure they scatter all over the place it is almost impossible to get rid of them. It's like a plague. I've been on the receiving side of those tactics, and it is really very hard if not even impossible to locate all the rats, and most importantly locate, and eliminate the mother rats - the squadleaders.

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

It is a slaughter only because the MEC team does not work together.

Everytime I have played the idots on the MEC Team go flying at the carrier in one or two boats tops.

Well that is real helpful. They should all go at the same time. Also have the apc with them and the anti air on the beach.

The Us team would be hard pressed to hold them off.

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

IMO, an ever better strategy is to be a SL and fly really high over the carrier, as high as the chopper will go (around 500m or so), so you're out of visual range of ground troops and the Phalanx AA, and let your squad members airdrop onto the carrier. Any that die can spawn on your chopper and airdrop right down again. Keep doing this until you cap a flag, then go back and pick up any stragglers at your main and repeat, until the majority of your team is spawning on the carrier instead of the mainland.

You won't get any points for this (apart from the odd driver ability assist points perhaps) but it will help your team a lot. So if you are a stat whore, this strat isn't for you.

Re: NEW even better tip for IRON GATOR !!!

its not that complicated: get into the hind, destroy the esssex so the others can land with the other helo, proceed the rape xD
