I did that at one point. The secret is to take it slow and hide in the big ditch for a while. I disguised as a pyro and went to sit on the cap point. A group of respawns appeared just before I was going to try for a cap. An engy, a pyro, a demo, and a medi. The engy started spy checking me with his shotty, but I figured if I moved they would all kill me so I just stood there and took it figuring "what the hell". Then the medi started healing me, and I knew I would be fine. They all headed up to the defenses, and left me guarding the cap point. I swiped with my knife in the air to decloak, and half a second later the demo appeared around the corner and started lobbing grenades at me. The cap completed I ran forward and stabbed him in the face. I spared the medi, but another team mate got him. Wish I could have given him a medal. That very well could have been me.

Had a whole bunch of engineers who had given up on defending the first point, and were trying to set up sentry turrets at the second point. Heh, engineers + pyro - sentries = crispy dead engineers I even managed to pull it off one time as a pyro.

The opposite team just captured point A, and now they are going for a quick capture of B. My team (except for one or two engineers) rush to defend B! Then the natural battle of epic proportions sets as described by madlep, but they are finally able to cap point B. "No prob, we still have 5 minutes on the clock" is what most are thinking at this point (except for the pessimists and the people who insist C is impossible to defend). We start retreating to C. Then we hear the voice of GLaDos saying C is being captured, and we are all sitting looking at the ticker, watching the red background being covered by blue in five seconds. We are all dumbfounded, and we run and hide so not to be critted...ugh I hate it when that happens on Gravel Pit!

It can be nerve-wracking. Your team caps the contested point and you immediately jump on the next.. and realize 16 people are now coming to kill just you. Good times!
