I probably could not disagree more with Chaindude when it comes to his standoff philosophy, at least in a 3v3. Once you clear out for your runner (assuming he&#039;s in your base), I am of the opinion that the other two players should already be trekking across the map to return the flag. Yes, it is possible you won&#039;t score. However, the odds of you stopping them from scoring are much higher in the event that their flag IS returned as you&#039;ll usually have one of their flag stand waiting and one chasing them around. You are going to lose a 2v2 standoff on most maps quickly and your single runner is just going to keep getting picked off while he&#039;s across the map trying to return. This is ultra conservative play that usually results in much heartache.<br /><br />Summation: Clear for your runner once, then flood their base as quickly as possible.
