Is it me or do a lot of new people tend to think that anything cloaked is an enemy. Twice today my squad leader was tked while he was an infiltrator and i know that it wasnt just some random act. I then proceeded to hunt this guy down and tk him back. Are they noobs or they just stupid tkers?

well when I first started playing beta I'd freak if I saw any cloaked thing go by me and immediately shoot (trigger happy), but I'd never actually kill them....Think its just a trigger happy newb?

Oh, ive had this experience before. This MAX in my squad killed me when i was resecuring a base. So I send him a tell and say "wtf?" He responds with, "I got him, I killed the cloaker." Then I tell him it was me, and he didnt believe me until I told him to scroll up.


I guess some people just dont see the health bar and name.

I've shot a few friendly cloakers, but never killed one (unless they tried to walk between me in a max and an enemy max, heh). The other day I saw a cloaker running towards the base while I was manning a turret. I put two bullets into the poor guy before his name appeared above him in green.

I've hit a cloaker on my side once or twice, especialy when you see those really far ones and the friendly green anme doesnt come up untill you actualy have your reticle over the guy. Don't think I've ever shot one to death.. although with guass rifle its like a hot knife through butter when you nail those cloakers.

Well it's still here so I'd say it's w/in sigbot's standerds hehe.

The problem with infiltrators is that they're so hard to see, when people see a cloacker, they tend to focus on trying to get another glimpse of that cloakers outline, and instinctively pump lead into what (they think) is an enemy infil. I've never seen a person with darklight tk a cloaker. Probably because they know that they have time to react, as they'll be able to catch much more than a glimpse of that infil

does sigbot take down signatures that are too big?? if so then that must be why my stupid chicken signature never shows up.

my grief points piling up w/ my "when in doubt, shoot" philosophy. seriously, when there's two guys firefighting and me manning the 150mm cannon, i'd launch one in the middle. you never know, one of them could be a TR scum and the other VS lowlife.

Your chikien signature does not show up because youa re using { and } for tags instead of [ and ]
