Stupid Dark Light Implants

[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.

Yes,
It would get more attention there.

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.

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.

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 ) 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.

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.

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... 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.

[ZionsFire]

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

[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.
