So as the tittle says, i'll be posting some cool spots to hide in maps, etc. As a starter, i've chosen goldrush. After each map, i'll take in votes on next map to show interesting hiding spots. I'll usually post pictures first, then videos. I'll include how to get to it, and some practical uses for it. I'll try not to post the generic ones, but i might if i don't have enough content, etc.
[b]Episode 1 - PL_GoldRush, First Stage:[/b]
When you need to defend the attic, and it's very important to, as if blu team has the attic, you're basically fucked. So this is a cool spot for demos and soldiers to get up to. You could probably fit 4 or so demos/soldiers up there. It's up near the roof, so people usually won't notice it. You can shoot pretty much anywhere inside the attic. You have a lot of horizontal space to work with as well.

This is the spot we're going to. If you noticed the thing to the left, don't worry. It's actually good, because it blocks to from falling off if you walk to the edge and hold [the key you use to go right]. But, you can shoot stickies/ rockets onto it. If you accidentally shoot a sticky there, never fret!, but remember, it can still splash you, so jump then detonate, and it won't hit you.
Now, these two images will tell you how to get up there:
So put a sticky in the corner...

jump!

Now, there's a few good places to put your stickies.
(All of these stickies are placed on from the ledge, not on land!)

[b]My Hud:[/b]
If people want it, I can keep an up-to-date version of my HUD, for people to use.
The most important part about it is that I have crouch jumping bound to space, and every time i crouch the crosshair turns pink. It helps me and the viewer understand what is being pressed on the keyboard! IT IS FOOL-PROOF!

[Episode: 0's are tests, they don't have the best of what i have to offer and they are to test various elements of each episode.]
Next map: Koth_Nucleus
Next map: cp_orange.
and I'm not talking about the variations that actually have cover. I'm talking about the plain, wide-open map that is a bodyshooting fagsniper's best friend. 5 points 2 spawns and a tower, no more, no less.
cp_orange is bullshit imo
So this is just one hiding spot?
I'm kinda disappoint.
Nucleus is next, and well yes, but it's going to be kinda like a series. If you want more from goldrush, just tell me.
Orange doesn't count, suggest maps that people actually play please.
Shounic, people don't play Nucleus. Well cp_oranges are more played than nucleus :v:
too bad it's my favorite map
Okay let me rephrase what i said then. I will pick the map i want to check out next from the pool of suggestions. i picked nucleus. Nucleus is next.
[editline]7th March 2011[/editline]
Video's up!
great, as a soldier more so than the demo, you can utilize rocket jumping very smartly in Nucleus.. basically short cutting
the map has kinda like 3 levels, you can hop between them, from the middle to the balcony-house thingy and back, plus the bottom health pack and so on!
What about Badwaters?
Wow, I never knew, nor seen anyone who knew about this.
[editline]7th March 2011[/editline]
I nominate badwater.

I've known about it since watching this.
How did he get there with a scout?
FaN jump
This is the first time i've actually looked whats the roof like in that spot on goldrush...
[QUOTE=Prism;28488281]This is the first time i've actually looked whats the roof like in that spot on goldrush...[/QUOTE]
Same, I didn't even know there was an area up there. I always thought it was a flat surface.
That's why it's so effective. Because nobody looks.
Okay, i changed my mind. since you guys really wanted badwater i'll do badwater next.
Added to do list to OP
Do Pipeline as well, you can still hang on the overhangs.
I was playing Gold Rush with a friend one time and I think it was on the second map, right in front of the first point, and a Demoman was walking on the fence, shooting grenades at my sentry and my friend's sentries, we were wondering if thats another exploit or if he was hacking somehow...because I think he might have gotten shot up there by one of our sentries, but never got back down.
Awesome vid, BTW, it might help me be more credit to team on Goldrush...its sad how hard the first map is compared to the other two, at least the second point.
BTW, music is in the description of all the videos.
I got badwater filming done. Not sure when i'll edit it, cause i got some stuff to do, but i'll try to get it out asap. I got 3 amazing spots, and several neat places to hide. Keep in mind that i am not a total retard, so i don't put in dumb doorway overhangs in the videos. It's very straight forward to find as well. If you guys want to see a perticular class used, feel free to tell me. For example, the heavy gru jump, etc.
I know a nice spot in 2fort, I'll get some screenshots when I feel like it.

I once managed to take the enemies' intel with a Medic, Heavy and Soldier on my tail. I Force jumped on that ledge to watch them all pass by. Jumped off the ledge and succesfully capped the intel.
I felt all :ninja: n shit

pretty cool, but the main grip i have with this it's that it's a bit too low. If he was casually looking a upwards he could've seen you.

Mini-Update!:
Badwater is offically done, just need video editing, etc. Vote for next map!
Fuck sony vegas crashed on me badwater video is tomorrow i'm going to sleep.
FYI, You can actually shoot through the window on that hiding spot, from there you can hit the little room where spammers always got to.
[media]http://i55.tinypic.com/de7e2r.jpg[/media]
True, but you'll probably end up getting sniped since Snipers are always there. And since you're so high up on the window, you probably won't be able to shoot effective explosives out of it.
Some of these are actually pretty useful!
Can you build a teleporter there?
Well...I'm gonna go ahead and try it myself.
Whew, thank for vegas auto save. Rendering atm! Expect badwater soon!
