[Rover: Positions]

Rovers are the support position. They keep the defense supplied with ammo, the offense supplied with enemy information, and important items out of the enemy's hands.
Ammo Guy
The Ammo guy runs around the level collecting ammo, and if weapon stay is off, weapons, and brings them to defense, so they don't need to leave the base to get weapons to defend it. The ammo guy should be known to all the players on the, and have a lot of keys bound to dropping items. If instant powerups is off, then they can collect them too, and give them to the offense. If you happen upon killing the ammo guy on his way back to his base, then you just cut the enemies ammo supply off for a few minutes. This will leave them vulnerable and easily defeated. If you are the ammo guy, don't get in fights. If you do get killed, your first duty is to get a bunch of rox, rails, and cells and haul to base.
Item Guard
These guys guard valuable items such as the the Quad Damage, the BFG10K, and the Invulnerabilty. If instant powerups is on, they should alert the offense, and only pick up the item if it would fall into enemy hands if they didn't. If istant powerups is off, they should pick it up and bring it to base.
Spy
To play this position, pick up some armor, your favorite weapon, and sneak into enemy base. Find a nice little spot to hang out, and just sit. Tell your team what the enemy is doing, give headcounts, and notifies the defense of incoming offensive strikes. This position is rarely played because most maps don't have many places to hide in the enemy base.
