This guide is for normal Pipeline players who want to reach the next step in the skill ladder. I've played some hours Pipeline in the last few days and I think that I can give you all a few useful hints.
I'll show some nice tricks that can help you a lot in your daily pipefights. Of course not all of them are helpful in all rounds. Some special nades you need only once a month.

So let's start:

1 Let's say you are on Assault and want to cover the East Vent. I see it very often that guys are going to North Outside to do that. But there's a much better and saver position. Go to the little stairs in front of North Side Entrance (NSE) and stand there. Don't move that much so you also can hear the enemy in NSE. From that position you can cover: East Vent, NSE, and Main Entrance without being uncovered. Btw: Anti Aliasing helps a lot to spot enemies earlier in the vents.




2 Here's a nice 203 to get the enemy when he's already out of East Vent. Just aim a little bit above the window.




3 How to enter Main Entrance? Forget the damn smokes! It's much easier. 1. Look if an enemy is leaning at the door @ East Main Corridor. Just look for 1/2 sec. If the door is ajar? this will work. 2. Wait a little bit, sprint in and jump when you are in the room. 3. Then go as fast as you can to the door and close it. 4. Go to a "save" spot in Main Entrance.
Attention: If the enemy has a nade in his hand, don't do that!!!




4 You're in East Main Corridor, the Break Rooms seems to be clear. But suddenly an enemy is sitting @ the candy machines.
You can flash him very easily without being in danger by letting it bounce against the wall. Of course you've to do this very fast. But after some tries, it's very easy and very effective. Crouch when you throw the flash. The more right you walk the saver you are from fire but it's more difficult to hit the enemy. To cook the flash just some ms can help you by this.




5 Camper in the Vent @ Vent Access Room. It's very easy to flash him.







Too many images: see the next pots for the other ticks.

[SIZE=5]6[/SIZE] Camper at the Walkway of North Pump Room near the door. Of course the door from Break Room to Vent Access Room is normally opened in the other direction. So the enemy can't see you.
Attention: You have to cook the flash for one "blink" (0.5 sec).




[SIZE=5]7[/SIZE] You are in Main Corridor Intersection and an enemy is sitting at 1st Floor above the Primary Valve looking for you. It's very hard to shoot him, but there's a nice trick to get him with a nade. Of course you have to be fast. The door should be open, then cook a nade for 4-6 "blinks" and throw it as show in the image. The enemy will only see you for 1 sec and is dead after that




[SIZE=5]8[/SIZE] You are in Bathroom Corridor and an enemy is at the Catwalk near West Ladder waiting for you.
Go to the right corner of the room, get a flash, aim like it's shown in the picture, cook it for 1 "blink". 80% of the enemies there are flashed.




[SIZE=5]9[/SIZE] You are in West Entrance and an enemy is at 1st Floor above the Primary Valve. Again a nice wallbounce helps you.
You can cook the nade a little bit to be sure that it explodes at 1st Floor (sometimes it falls to the basement)

10 You are at the Primary Valve and an enemy is right above you at 1st Floor. Let the nade bounce at the tank. As always you can cook the nade/falsh a litte bit.




11 You're in Main Corridor Intersection and an enemy is at 2nd Floor Walkway near the Bathroom door. Again a tank bouce makes it very easy for you. Of course cooking the flash/nade a litte bit can help you.
To the second picture: The flash will explode right next to the soldier.




12 You are Top West Ladder and an enemy is in CP near the door to 3rd Floor Walkway. You can flash/kill him without getting shot by him. 1. Croch. 2. Go to the position that is shown in the picture. This nade is very hard, so you have to have the exact position and the exact aiming like it's shown in the image.




13 You are at 1st Floor and the enemy is hacking the CP. Go to the position shown in the first image. Aim like in the second(don't jump/cook when you throw the nade). The nade will kill the enemy.



3rd pic in the next post

14 You're at CP and the enemy is camping at the West Ladder (on the ladder and down in the basement). He is just waiting until you wasted your nades. So why don't kill him?^^ If you throw a direct nade to West Ladder Basement he'll survive it, because he climbs up the ladder a little bit.
So here's a real badass and very very heavy nade. 1. Go to the desk, crouch and make sure the the window is broken. 2. Aim really exact like it's on the image and don't cook the nade. It will detonate just a half second after is hits the ground.
The bad thing is that it's really difficult and all others will call you a cheater






15 Now the enemy is at top of West Ladder. It's roughly like 13 but the aiming is a little bit different.




16 You need a good soundcard for this one. If an enemy is at the little Outside Roof, go to this position to hear if he's still up there and goes through the east vent, or you hear him jumping down.
To the second image: You are standing in the left upper corner of the picture, the enemy is on the right of the picture. So you're just 3-4m away from him.

17 NO! I don't stop at 16
Look at this. I think only 2% of the Pipeline players know this.




And now:




Thx Steinway & Sons that's it
