Ok most people are going to want to crouch to reduce damage taken to their bot by 30%. This is all well and good but comes at the price of one thing...
Mobility.
For the case of desert storm, ok this probably doesn't apply as much due to its size limitations. But particularly on the larger maps (including the secret map 32x32) rockets and grenades take their time to reach their destination.
