I like to consider myself a master at feigning death.. I don't mean to brag, but in a team game in siciliy I took down half the opponents team and they didn't even know what was hitting them.
I've assembled a short, in-depth coverage of the do's and don'ts of feigning death:
1. DO - always feign death in an obvious location, feigning in dark places or "secret" hideaways will arouse suspicion.
2. DO - Always go prone before feigning, that way when you un-feign.. you will be proned and therefore have an advantage over the unsuspecting enemy.
3. DON'T - Never ever get hasty, if the enemy is only a few steps from you, silence that urge to attack... what until you have a good clean shot, and once you kill the enemy, re-feign.
4. DO - Always carry a ''dummy'' weapon with 1 clip to use as your decoy. Drop that weapon before feigning and it will look a lot more realistic.
5. DON'T - never feign in the same spot after a round, it will become very suspicious if soldiers see the same corpse in the same location every match.
6. DO - try and feign in a groups... if there was a skirmish and there are several corpses around... join in and feign next to one. Even I sometimes dismiss corpses feigned in this way.
7. DON'T - get discouraged, I garuntee you, you will get capped several times while feigning.. it's just one of those things that will happen.
8. DO - As I said, Location Location Location, pick you're spot wisely and STAY THERE... remember, you're a corpse, corpses don't move!
9. DON'T - miss, when you unfeign, make sure your victim DIES, if your victim doesn't die your enire effort will be wasted, as he can now riddle your vunerable self with his high-caliber weapon.
10. DO - try to feign on spots where it looks odd, for example, find a spot where your feet are partially in the wall, or where you are slightly hovering off of a crate. People often dismiss corpses in these odd positions because they think that the "unique" look of the death signifies a real one.
11. DO - Use phycological warfare, proclaim over the public channel ''Man down in the X' where X being where you feigned. This only heigtens the believeablity of the enemy of your illusion.
12. DON'T - be excessive with tip #11... if you scream in caps or are excessively enthusiastic about it then it will arouse suspicions.
Okay, for all those people interested, feel free to put these tips into play. After many many tests, I have concluded that with the correct executioner.. Feigning death can be the most effective strategy available.
I've taken down scores of people, and delighted when they scream "What??" "WTF???" "Who??" .
13. And lastly DON'T - be shaken by stupid deathmatchers who will taunt you and try to make your effort as difficult as possible. Just ignore them, and stick to your guns, this isn't quake people, this is war, and in a real war - the smart win.
