Soon it will be motion mines in the entrance and a single good toss of motion mine bait to send those nasties flying thier way

You could do it back to the defenders... I've thought about using this method, but it's not easy. It would be easier to defend I guess with this tactic. You can't really throw the bait too far or else the mines won't follow, but this is definitely something I would love to try. With a support guy you can cause a lot of damage... As attackers you definitely can't use this tactic for console 1.

My strategy for getting into console 1 is to spawn as recon and have support and medic along for the ride. Support drops a sentry at the opening... it doesn't have to be perfect... just enough to get the defenders nervous about venturing out into the open. Then I try to snipe (this is not the place for the zeller, unless you don't mind wasting precious moments every second shot) their sentry in prone position as the medic holds out the medic kit to heal as I shoot. I can usually snipe a defender or two before dying (at this point it needs to be headshots- no messin' around here). Medic can revive with support filling the void between us and the defenders with bullets. Also, once the recon gets a few good shots off and thins the numbers down, support needs to move in and start advancing with the big guns. Once you get up to the consoles, recon has to drop an APM mine up close to the enemy entrance to slow down any defenders that might respawn and want revenge. Of course support and medic cover the entrances as well. It's also nice to have a fourth squad mate to cover your back. Maybe a medic in case the first gets taken out.

Other ideas... if you have a support guy with the IDS, he can drop it on the inside wall out by the entrance to console 3. That will give you some advanced knowledge of what you're up against. Is it two guys or a horde of enemy combatants? Try and have him hide it so it's not obvious, it will last a long time even after he dies. Then he can come back and drop a sentry or a shield to help recon get his shots in. It's frustrating if you're up against really good players, but it can be fun too. Make sure you squad up!

BTW, using the IPS in the enemy titan is a lot of fun. I put it in the middle open area between consoles 3 and 4. It covers most of the fighting areas, perhaps on one of the columns. Then you can go hunt people down. They don't even know what hit them.
