How about that storm tonight MOE? Any tornados near you?
Rooster a couple of questions...
1.) I saw you toss your weapon on a couple of occasions... is this to give weapons to teammates? I;ve never seen it happen before.. seems to make so much sense to me now though.
Bangin' answered this. I often found I had only 1 or 2 shock ammo left. Let me tell you, there is NOTHING worse than going to complete a combo and all of a sudden you've got an enforcer.
2.) You seemed to rarely be at full health. I always seem concerned about buffing up on health and armor... is this conscious? or are you just so damn hard to hit health doesn't matter to you?
Heh.. actually, the more time you spend hunting around for health - the less time you spend guarding your base. I never had time because Shai (especially) & 'Fect were
always in our base. As a defender, you don't depend so much on powerups (armor) cause you're gonna respawn in the same area. A lot of people that play me come to the realization that you gotta kill me at least twice to get my flag. Normally though, I definitely stay healthed up (and armor if it's readily available (LavaGiant, Bollwerk)
3.) Any good (or bad ) strategy ploys you want to point out for those of us wanting to get better?
Hrm.. well, learn the hammer/boot jump alias. That's probably the biggest change to the UT scene in the last year. It's the hardest to defend against and the jumper covers so much ground it's hard to get a 2nd chance at stopping him. As well, if you're
offense, don't waste too time getting armed. Go take the enemies weapons & ammo!
Defense, if you play outside your base, and die, you get to spawn (generally) inside the base, or at least closer to your flag than when you died, giving you another shot at the would-be flag carrier.
