Best Defense for Gravel Pit?

Whadda think?

By HaZZaRDouZ 1 year ago

So ... I am currently playing Gravel Pit on TF2, I was wondering what do you think would be the best tactic of defense ... all camping one point and letting the enemy have the other, or guarding both?

This would include many variables though .. What is the skill of your team? What classes are you playing? Where are your sentries?

Don't know if this could start a discussion, but what do you think?

    Generally, I play engineer on Gravelpit (due to the many exploits). My usual tactic is to rush to B and sentry-jump myself onto the roof. Building a teleporter here will allow your team to easily defend B, and any half-decent team should be able to defend it (although I must admit that almost no pub servers have half-decent teams). If we end up loosing both A and B, I build a teleporter on top of C roof (as is highlighted in this image), and block both doorways just below it with my dispenser and sentry-gun. If my team can't hold C at this point, there's practically nothing you can do.

    Really I'd say it depends on a lot of factors...Skill level, communication, number of players, what classes, competitive/pub etc

    If there are around 6 or so players per team, I think a good defense tends to be have an engy and a pyro on B, with another couple of players there, and have a couple of players holding the enemy off A for a bit.

    I rarely see anyone even attempt to defend A, unless it's a large server with several engies at each point, people just see B as being much easier to defend, and it tends to be really (possibly becuase nobody helps defend A)
