This is a MoX training movie to show noobsters what to expect when they hotdrop.

Seemed rather lackluster as far as PS movies go.

That had to have been the dumbest PS movie i have ever seen. No offense but you need some action in these movies. Put some....Pinash. Boring all I have to say.

As I said, it's not supposed to be an action movie, it's training material to show ppl who ain't hotdropped what it's all about. So it's not dumb, you havn't read it in the context it was intended, I thought by including the words 'training' in the title it would make it clear.

Could you judge it on that basis please because I obviously want to improve technically.

It was quite pointless, just teachin how to zerg. I was hoping on basic instructions to actually teach new PS players how to hotdrop.

How to hotdrop:

1.) get in a gal

2.) hit alt + g when someone says to drop

3.) land and die, ty (or accasionally take the cc)

Negative


1) Load up in Galaxy

2) when you fly over the waypoint or point to drop, hit Alt-G

3) Rinse, repeat.

By telling ppl when to drop you're probably going to get some of the drops off the drop zone. This could be bad if you drop next to a backdoor or entrance. CDL does many hot drops and we've found that when you see your little arrow over the drop zone, that's when you drop.

Aye. You l33t guys are obviously well up on Hotdropping, OK so it's simple stage 1 stuff, but I've been in many a Gal where you get the odd recruit who

a. asks what we are doing
b. asks how to 'jump from the dropship'
c. drops the wrong side of the backdoor

So it's not for you, no, think about the noobs, the unl33t ones, who havn't mastered the art of rinse and repeating.

BTW I dont think taking a whole continent with well organised 3 Gal dropping was zerging, we actually had to organise ourselves and think about what we were doing. Very unzerg like...

But hey, I asked for your opinions so thanks for replying in the spirit in which this movie was posted.

What to expect:
Instantaneous death from possibly hitting the gal, or just getting shot when you land
If you survive that then there's a good chance you'll be shot soon
If you're one of the few members of your squad to survive find cover, or you'll get shot

BTW, that bideo sucked as a training vid. I didn't see anything that would help someone learning at all.
