Exactly what can you do with the x-loc?

Hehe I was like that too, watching all the pro's "fly by" and kill me, WTF???? but I learned. Go play some Domination and learn how to use Xloc.
for example I can't do without the Xloc on DOM-Olden, It is really handy there to tele up the catwalks. Its also a cool tool to kill, like u said telekills own and are quite impressive (imo) . No matter how strong the opponent (Keg, Shield) 1 good placed Xloc will handle it
If u wanna learn how to use it best, just use it, practice practice practice

Some people are really good with the x-loc. They transport them self through the air, and they are good double x-locing to reach high places.
Another little trick I sometimes do:
When you are going into a battle with an enemy, throw your disc on the ground. Most ppl, except the vet's, can't resist the temptaion and start fire at your disc so you can take him out while he's trying to destroy your x-loc.

well, i don't use it, imo its a cowardly weapon, it requires far more skill to use your skillz to get the the flag, catpuring point then to just transport there.
Facing enemy's, fraggin them, and then to stand half beaten by your goal, its more fun that way.

U can also use it as a weapon, not only a device to get away. And I sure aint a coward when I hand someones ass to him 12 times in a match by telefrags

Swedix: hell yeah thats fun

What hal forgot to say is, if you beacon is destroyd, you can have it back with just running over it.

Recalling a broken beacon ('primary firing it again') will result in a telefragdeath.

if the beacon is fragged and you can't walk over it for some reason you are SOL.

it will dissappear when you die.

What I like about the xloc is that u can get to enemy flag fully powered up, instead of having to fight your way in and lose 1/2 ur health and ammo on the way. In CTF, it has becomes such an essential part of the game.

A nice double will get u to the AMP in Face very quickly. (You can get up there with a single, but it's a little slower. A single will get you to AMP in November. Also on November, a good double will get you up the hole in the blue base. To get to the cliff in Lava Giant, it takes a triple. (3 throws, or boots and 2) Some people have told me that they can do it in 2, but that's pretty difficult. I've never been able to do it.

UT is such a fast paced game, You get an lpb with decent aim and a mini, you can be dead in a second or two. The xloc does give you more of a chance for survival. A chance to find a weapon. You can choose at what point, and place to do battle.

A good trick on defense is to drop it some where near the flag when u need to leave your position. If somebody grabs ur flag... u can get back in a hurry. The drawback is that people may find it and blow it up. Funny, Bots wont intentionally destroy it though.

One other thing, lag is a problem, especially if it's not constant. If you fire primary, and no beacon comes out... your in deep S***! Also, if you can out run your beacon.. GIVE IT UP

if you press primary after you have a beacon out it will give the beacon back to you automaticly,i do it all the time when i use x-loc when it doesn't go where i want it to go

yes, but when you shoot a disc and an enemy destroys it (for example combo-ing the disc all over the place) you will die when you try to retrieve it using the left mouse button method. the only way to retrieve a broken disc is to walk over it. if it lands in an unreachable place (i.e. lava) you're SOL.

I use the xloc for anything and everything, only thing is I'm a 56k'er and lag often screws the precision moves, a real bummer when you're trying to escape a losing battle :/

you sure?i never tested that but if it falls somewhere like in lava i thought it automaticly retrives it

damn...your right...

Hey Gramps, it's not "the left mouse method". It's "primary fire" method. My left mouse is walk You are all freaks, ye who use mouse for firing

doh! you're right of course. your left mouse is walk you say? ....... freaky.

Definitely only 2 to get up the wall on LavaGiant. Every time (Barring lag)

2 to get up the hole on November.
1 to the top of the amp on November.
1 to get up the hole in Command
1 to get to the amp on Face (& a jump)
2 or 3 from about 30ft down the hump on Face to the Redeemer (skywalking)
