Why do pugs hold the LZ on hydra's extraction... simple they are Stupid, but you could also ask why they hold that spot for the whole game and die for the whole game.

[stysiaq]

PuGs and RHA don't mix

[SergeantCelery]

It's a challenge. That's of sync-kill from all the sides in a confined space... I mean cuz pugs

[shming]

This spot is actually a pretty good place to snipe for one or two people.  Assuming you have a couple of guys making sure nothing is coming from the control room.  

If all 3 pugs are camping the LZ and using only hard cover then you should just leave because they have no clue what they're doing.

Or you can have a bit of fun with them...

Go down to where the cross hair are and occupy that spot, that forces the spawns onto the upper level of the map. Watch what their reactions are as everything rush the LZ from their flanks.

Generally I prefer fighting in the control room.

holding LZ on hydra is hard but feasible

I'm a jugg... it's fun.

It's the natural pug camping reflex. They may try to suppress it during the other waves, but as soon as that order comes in ...

[ROBOTICSUPERMAN]

I hold the lz with the pugs, then at the last 40 seconds, I bail on them, sprint around the map while they get overwhelmed. And then turn in at extraction with about 5 seconds left.

Pugs and hold the line... Last night was hosting Platinum Ghost and these 2 pugs decide to hold the LZ at any cost...easy to say that cost them their life It's one of the worst LZ's to hold IMO

One of my first Platinum matches was on Firebase Ghost against Reapers. I was playing the Demolisher with Typhoon I, we had a Drell Adept with the Pirahna, one GI with the Falcon and one GI with the Claymore.

We never left the extraction area (basically stayed next to the ammo box) except for objectives, and we never used our rockets unless it was an objective. Took us 18 minutes for a full extraction.

Now, I've never had a team that I could repeat that with, mostly because all "smart" people keep thinking that it would be suicide to stay there when it is in fact quite easy to defend. If all of you stay there and focus fire together then it will be one of the easiest and fastest Platinum games of your life. Nuke a few spawns every now and then and you will probably get it done in 12 minutes or less.

I'm not saying it is wrong to run around the map and kill things if you have bad players in your team, but with decent players you should be able to stay put. If those two pugs that you are describing were decent then I would say that it was you who made them die

If they do, go to the rear path between control room and lz and block the spawnpoint  there so they only have to fight a 90 degree angle of incoming enemies and have chance to survive.
The other spawnpoints are farther away so the PUGs have a chance to out-DPS incoming enemies.

Not even that hard if you have a decent team, although pugs with low level weapons and no equipment is not the way to go 

[Max Dmian]

Orb room? Sub-optimal.
The real spot to hold is the crate of destiny.

Ooh! Ooh! I know the answer to this, OP!!!

It's...







Working as intended.

It's nice to see some variety and enthusiasm in the "working as intended" occasionally

There is no ammo box on the LZ. He's talking about the actual LZ, not areas nearby.
And 12 minutes is utter BS.

Because I can. And the rest follow.

Hydra...not the easiest map but lots of fun with a good team.

[Cirvante]

Had three plat pugs hold the LZ on hydra for the entire game yesterday. If I hadn't held the control room by myself, they would have failed.

You are a god amongst men :innocent:

Indeed. I felt even more godlike when I topped the scoreboard. My e-peen had never been bigger.
