Stupid Dark Light Implants

[NC_Vangaurd]

:mad: Airplanes are like my worst enemy along with stupid darklight implants. MAN when u cloak and sneak way back into an enym base or sometimes fly all the way 2 another continent when u land or hotdrop out of mosquito (cause they cant b seen on radar and are real fast) a dude in a max or a guy with weapons that are bigger than him blasts ya and u have to respawn halfway across the planet:mad: POST IF U HATE DARKLIGHT IMPLANTS.

[Sputty]

Darklights are balancing. Without them we would have no cloaker defense.

[Khronos]

Perfectly said Sputty.

[NC_Vangaurd]

ya i know u guys are right but eh when ya move around in a cloak suit u get .... lighter or it looks like ur suit **** out and other people can see u which sucks 4 me but ya know.... anyways like my pistol or knife can do damage against anything but a agile exo suit and - or other infiltration suits. but lol i love my grenades.;)

[Seer]

So many individuals with darklight, and yet I still see cloakers running around. Clearly they are doing their job, but are not unbalanced.

[Jaged]

I am a cloaker. I love Darklight. How is this so, you ask? Well, to me, Darklight seperates the lethal cloakers from the amatures. My theory on Darklight is that people usualy only turn Darklight when they susspect a cloaker is in the area, or they are in an area like the cc where cloakers usualy hang out. A skilled cloaker will never be seen. He will kill before his prey knows what is happening. A skilled cloaker will spend as little time as possible in places like the cc. He will strike where the enemy least expects it. I would advise you dont hot drop from a mossy over your intended strike zone. There is nothing like advertising your presence with a big explotion before you enter. You wan't to make a sneaky entrance. Remember, your mission is a success if the only people people who are aware of your presence are dead. Remember, dead men don't tell tales.

Jaged you should start a cloakers guide for dummies. also all u need is jammer nades and they wont be able to see u for a set time

[Jaged]

I have never used a Jammer grenade. I just stick with the theory that if they don't know you are there, they won't use Darklight.

[NC_Vangaurd]

yet again shocked by my stupidity i should have geussed... lol if u dont move a newb with nothing but hacking comes 2 the base capture thing pull out ur knife and kick his a** lol i took a base then hid in a corner and some retard with no cover started takeing base back so i snuck up behing him pulled out a knife and striked unmercifully.:p

[WildEagle]

why would u stay in there? someone could have and should have killed u.

As a rule of thumb, never stay in the CC as an infl for more time than you have to to get you job done. You got lucky that time. Every time I do that, I die.

[NC_Vangaurd]

i was about 2 leave but i saw an enemy galaxy comming so i ducked and cover but with my luck they could have been the barbaric bastards i always fight who prefer to blast the whole fugin place
. (((((((((((((Barbaric Bastard says- O CRAP DURS A KLOAKED ENIME LETS BLOW EACH OTER UP))))))))))))

[NightWalker XI]

[UNEEDASSHOE]

Edit: phux, messed up.

[Sentrosi]

Yesterday morning I started to play on Ishundar taking bases back from the Vanu. I think they only had one squad on there while I was there. Anyway I noticed that the Vanu were starting to make their presence known by taking the northern bases. I decided to do an end-around on them and start resecuring hacks. I get to one of the bases (Esamir) that had been hacked for a while and make my way slowly up to the CC. Esamir's CC is one of those on the top of the tower, with two entrances, one to the south and one to the north. I hit Darklight and don't see anyone at first. I start to rehack it and I see someone moving. I stop the hack, noting that there was only about 40 seconds left until the Vanu got it back, turned to see behind the console, and there he is, a pickled Cloaker. I quickly make swiss cheese of him and resecure it.


I get a /tell from him soon after. I couldn't read what he was typing because he had a bunch of #*&?!!& characters in it, but I think he was calling into question my sexuality, who my true mother and father were, and something about pupply love. I did the stand up thing and not say a word.

Just had to share that with you cloakers out there. Be careful around me. I'll get ya.

I concur.

[WildEagle]

indeed

[Sputty]

IT'S THE LOUNGE! You can talk about whatever you want here except political debate....

Yes,
It would get more attention there.

[WritheNC]

The good infils always kill me in the open field...I hardly ever die inside bases from them.

The bad ones start shooting me in the back and I just turn around, strafe, turn on darklight, and pull the trigger.

Edit: Oh yes. When I'm driving around in a lightning, and stop at the entrance of a base to guard the hack, I've been attacked by infils while I was sitting inside the tank on no less than 3 seperate occasions.

If you happen to be one of these people, please turn in your infil suit now. ;)

[Searo]

Yeah, I was approaching a tower, when I hear a buzz noise and then I'm dead. Why would an infil not use the knife? Waaay better than AMP imo.

I used a knife alot in beta. After having the buzzing noise be the end of me several times, I turned it in for my MAG Scatter.

[Zarparchior]

Ya see, I know a very good infiltrator that swore by teh knife. He said that the pistol would give away your postion and take too much time to kill. I have to say that if you manage to quickly turn on your secondary mode, have the melee booster implant, and hit him the first two times (not MAX or vehicle, dumbass :p) it does indeed work quite effciently... but darklight makes things more difficult. I guess you maybe have to use the chaos around you to your advantage more often now... = \

Heh heh. I've actually killed quite a few people with my knife - and I haven't chosen the infil cert post-beta. I bet they were pretty pissed off after I sucsessfully knifed 2 newbs to death. i r teh ubar. :cool:

I guess it's all about preference really... I'm sure there are some people who use the Jackhammer soley at long ranges or the Lancer in melee distance. :rolleyes:

[Streamline]

Wow Jaged you and me are like night and day. I'm totally opposite. Everytime i've been killed by a darklighter i've stored that info away in the back of my mind. Now i always have atleast 1 jammer which i will use whenever that feeling of DL presence washes over me. Occasionally i need more than one. But not othen enough to adjust my loadout yet. I did in beta. By br17 i had to have at least two jammers. Now theres so many combat engis i may start loading two.

But anyway, im a load rude bastard. I'm in situation where theres usually serveral enemies and multiple darklighters. A tower for example. I'll use a jammer on the mine at the door. But only if i have to. If i can i don't bother unlocking the door. This is only when it's bizzy enough that you know someones coming out. If i haven't spent my jammer. Then it's holstered. I do no traveling of anykind with a weapon in hand. Upon entering i make a decisive decision to either go up or down depending on my health. If it's low. I'll go down, hack a term, rekit, consume some health kits, prepare my jammer, then procede.

The DLr is almost always on the next landing on the stairs above the CC. Spam a jammer, then bolt back down part way. Switch to my nade then do it again. 1 or 2 of them can go unanswered. I back up and switch fire modes and bounce em around the corners. If i've taken damage i go right back down to the term and do it again. If i got to i've use plasmas first to weed out any non=max units. Then finish the max off with frags. Once they are all dead i hack the CC. Then either run back down to the spawn room or go jump off the roof and re-enter on ground level. Then it's back down to the eq term rekit. Then run back up and plasma the two or three spawns wishing their DL timer would timeout. If the CC is pack again. and they got a HIP i target only the hacker. I use surge to run so stinkin fast they can't do shit about it and often don't even realize i'm there. Not sure why this occures, but at times they just dont see you run right past 'em. Toss the plasma right as i round the corner to the landing below the CC and rush.

The as long as nothing hits you square it is very posible to get to the same landing as the CC. For some reason many times they rush me aswell. Thats when i pivot and throw my plasma at where i just was. But continue to the top of the stair well and as i pass the CC half awy up the the next landing. I toss another plasma at the hacker. Usually this does him in. But i'll toss a second one just to be sure and clear anyone else coming up. After that i wait, center of the stairs and listen. AudioAmp comes in really handy for this.

If i think i got time. I'll scavenge weapons cuz by now i'm bone dry. If there is nthing i can do about a hacker. Then i run down to the CC and jump right on him. Ontop of the CC if i can. And use the knife cuz its all i got. Sometimes i get him. Most of the time he gets TKed. Either way, he's dead and i can spawn again.

And pretty much they know i'm there... somewhere...:rolleyes: Wish i could demo.

[Kikinchikin]

yes ther r so many crappy cloakers out there

ive gotten into a habit of when entering a cc thats been hacked, i turn on darklight and look at the right corner, theres almost always a cloaker there, i crank him with chainer and hes toast.

silly sillly cloakers. :p

[ZionsFire]

OK me hacked vanu base and idiot comes in starts hacking without hesitation im sitting on cc swish swipe dead vanu:p

[malikai3k]

as a cloaker the main thing i hate are those darn spitfire turrets, now i carry an AMP an REK a jammer gren and 2 frags. However the jammers just plain dont work against spitty turrets I think they should! Next I hate Motion sesors and finally thse guys that just like hosing an area for the hell of it, tho my regen implant helps for that :)

[Streamline]

Jammers work on spits but not for very long. If you got the time. Jam it first then use thoughs frags. 2 frags easily pop a spit. But you gotta very accurate.

Heres good story. I'm hackin a tower that NC and TR are fighting over. TR own the tower when i start hacking. I don't even finish when an someone shows up and starts to hack the CC i'm already hacking. I hit the 3rd person view and it's an NC. He's trying to hack over my shoulder. TR comes up the stairs takes his time and shoots NC right in head repeatedly NC drops and TR continues on up the stairs. LOL I finish my hack and VS start zerging.

For the life on me. I can't figure out which ones dumberer. :lol:

I was playing a few days ago (markov) and that same thing happened.

NC (us) were trying to take this very very heavly defended TR tower, the fight was going ok, slowly pushing them back with 3 ams's around the tower...

We still cant even get inside the tower, hot drops are a joke due to the 4-5 tr maxs on the top...

Then all the sudden, out of nowhere, the tower turned VS.... VS werent anywhere!!

Then all the sudden, it is the NC trying to take the tower held by VS troops.....

That is the power of a very skilled cloaker IMO.

[Sando138]

You know how that little 'Darklight' symbol shows up for everyone when you use it now, regardless of what side you are on? well, some cloakers i met today are blind, stupid, or maybe some combination of the two. I walk into the CC room, flip on DL and see a cloaker. now, i want to toy with him because i have full health and armor. so i turn my back to him. (note: at this point is when any sane/skilled cloaker would have gone for me with either an AMP or a Jammer.) i proceed to face the terminal with an REK out, DL on, and in third person. he runs up behind me with a knife out, despite the AMP clipped to his thigh. so i cant help but think, what an idiot!. i looked right at him with Darklight on, at point blank range and he didn't try to shoot me, stab me, run away, or otherwise. now i pull out my jackhammer, turn around, and he shifts tactics. i still have DL on and he tries to Crouch-walk close enough to knife me. you can guess what happens next.
