From The Tip Jar:
Everything you ever wanted to know about SNATCH
but were afraid to ask!

Before I begin, I would first like to say that if you don't yet own POSTAL2 you are missing out on the Best FPS ever made. So head immediately to the Running With Scissors Store to get your very own copy.

Snatch is basically Capture the Flag (CTF), POSTAL-style You snatch the other teams' fine, fine Postal Babes and then herd them together and Score (I can hear Beavis & Butthead laughing already). Each team usually has its own house or home base, so when the game begins, that's where you'll spawn.

Now for the Tips:

TIP 1: Always have at least one person guarding your home base.

TIP 2: Lay down grenade traps in and around your base; this works well for catching wannabe snatchers.

TIP 3: Have the same person that is guarding your base collect the health items (pipes, bags, etc.) and pass those items on to the Runners (Runners are the players who go after the P Babes).

TIP 4: Runners should always run with a teammate or decide upon checkpoints were they can meet up before attacking an enemy's base.

TIP 5: When an enemy's P Babe is snatched, EVERYONE on your team should head for her immediately and join in on the capture and her journey safely back to your home base.

TIP 6: When your own P Babe is snatched, it's best to communicate with the rest of the team and see who is where and who can best be assigned to capture her. However, you DON'T want the player guarding your base to join in the chase (unless your team is dangerously behind in points, in which case go for it and do whatever you can to retrieve and return your P Babe).

TIP 7: If you are a Runner who has snatched an enemy's P Babe, check on your health. You can and should, when low on health, pass along the P Babe to a teammate with more health. This is accomplished by typing “dropflag” in your console. This will cause you to drop the babe so a teammate can get her the rest of the way back to your base.

TIP 8: Remember, you're playing Snatch not Death Match! So don't sweat over racking up the most kills. In THIS game, it's ALL about the Snatch.
