[Offensive Positions]

Offensive postitions aren't simply a bunch of guys who run for the flag, and the one who grabs it is the runner, and then everyone else becomes escorts. No, it's more like this.
Scout
These guys travel light, carrying super shotguns and chainguns. They go in first, and clear out any defenders, and to spot any potential ambushes. They work in conjuction with the grunts to lay down a distraction for the runners.
Grunt
These guys are heavy artillery. They have Rocket Launchers and BFGs. They don't go into the base, they stand at the enterance and fire to keep the defenders busy dodging their fire. They carry lots of ammo, and they can drop it when the scouts start running low. It shoudln't come to this though; the runners should be able to grab the flag, and get out before the scouts start running low on ammo. They should also bring grenade launchers, chainguns, and hyperblasters so they can escort.
Runners
Runners are the people who are designated to grab the flag. They should carry Super Shotguns and Machineguns. They run in, grab the flag, and run out. Scouts follow them. So do the grunts, but they stay behind a little bit and kill any would-be pursuers.
Escorts
These can divided into three types: Front escort, rear escort, carrier guard. The Front escort goes a little bit ahead, killing or seriously damaging anyone there. They essentailly clear the path. The Rear Guard stays a little behind, killing or greatly damaging any persuers. The Carrier Guard stay next to the Flag Carrier, and kills anyone who gets to close. Escorts ussually start out as grunts and scouts, and then make the switch once someone grabs the flag. Grunts become front and rear escorts, and the scouts should become the Carrier Guards.
