If you are getting camped, sure, I'd go the other way. But 90% of the time you can run right out that window with no problems at all. Going the long way ALL the time woulkd waste valuable flag-stealing time!

First of all, I agree with you. xd

However, I don't think that's the best place to exit your base. I think it's better, in the long run, to get into the habit of going into the flag area, and running out through the other side tunnel. It's more concealed, and a less expected place for you to come out of.

When I run into the enemy base, I always have my crosshair on the spawn, not the side tunnel :)

STOP IT, CALEB! lol It cuts off your runners from a very effective route, leaves you blind as to whats coming at you next, and traps you in a small area where the other team can easily bombard you with grenades without that easy escape.

I have done that before, against non-rpg players it can be fairly effective. However, as a general rule, it's a waste of time, and it gives the other team a lot of map control.

here is what i do, c4, lmg and shorties.
have no mercy.

I shoveled it down at least 4 times, and asked that they stop, but... They also decided it would be a good idea to completely block off the middle area, leaving no way at all to go after the flag, or return with the flag, without being shot while you try to dig through. Noobs gonna noob, I suppose.

I would place a c4 on that

Also, NEVER place your claymores between spawn and this window. You are just blowing yourself and your teammates up!
