New Patch - Page 3

I just recently started using Darklight and I was surprised to find it had a short range. It has only really helped me when indoors. That is if I remeber to turn it on.

I still get the majority of my kills against stealthers when outside and I can see their outlines as they try to run around. It's also fun to watch them run then stop and then you just open up on the spot from where they stop and watch them drop like a limp rag.

there are 2 kinds of infiltrators. The bad who whined about darklight being overpowered and the good who obviously didn't have a problem with darklight. The patch change won't have all that much effect on the game because the people that whined before will continue to get killed by DL, and the good infiltrators will not

Im an INF, and I think adding the icon to the DL is pointless. The Inf suit is already mega powerful in my opinion. I practically never die and spend tons of time in enemy bases and get tons of kills. Now I am going to be able to see the few people who are actually looking for me and it gives me an extra advantage I dont think I need. Will this icon be showing up on a cloaked DL user? What happens then?? There are just too many people out there who have no idea how to use the Infil Armor. If you do it right you can be around 100 enemies and they will be totally clueless, if not everyone will be blowing you away left and right regardless of DL.

Wonder if they fixed the character deletion bug. My friend joined NC on accident and I'm a TR, so now we can't play together until that's fixed. :/

LesserShade · 2003-04-30, 08:47 PM

^yep, last patch fixed that up

Login with station name is for us beta testers. With the offline training you probably don't connect to login server first.

damn, the darklight fix is bad. I'm the official Infiltrator Knifer for my squad! i would always get out my knife when i saw an infiltrator, turn on secondary mode, turn on darklight if not already on, and then walk up in FRONT of an infiltrator, stand there for a second.....BAM stab his ass. oh it's great to toy with people who think they are invisible

haha holy shit feign yer so right!

What happens when an infiltrator is trying to kill an infiltrator and switches on his dl? hahaha who thought this up? is it a joke?

MrVulcan · 2003-05-01, 01:25 AM

that would be very funny

LesserShade · 2003-05-01, 01:28 AM

Today I ran across an NC inf who apparently thought he was cloaked, but really wasn't. He was slowly creaping down the stairs of the tower I spawned at and when I turned to face him, he crouched and sat still for a few moments. Then he was blasted. I swear this was probably one of those guys who cried about DL on the beta forums.

The new DL icon is a little more drastic than I though being that you can see the icon through walls. It still doesn't make too much of a difference though, it just gives more of a heads up than I had thought it would have given.

Angelos · 2003-05-01, 01:57 AM

OMG the funniest thing is when an inf only thinks he's cloaked and isn't...

MrVulcan · 2003-05-01, 02:41 AM

I just love the inf being killed by w/o anyone knowing they are there, when you are shooting someone else and they get in the way,I cant count the number I have seen fall in tight hallway battles where they think that they can get past the crossfire and make it to wherever they are going.

Also very funny when they think that they cant be seen when they are hacking or running through the base

I had 1 run right past me thinking I didnt see him, didnt matter since the max behind me did too and got him b4 I could turn around

I now fire a few shots into the cc every time I go by one, and sure enough, every once in a while, a inf suit will go down

Trebor95 · 2003-05-01, 08:29 AM

I had a freak encounter with one yesterday, I was walking through a base, by a wall. I turned a corner and my character hit something like an object in the middle of the floor, you know how sometimes if you run into a tree you kinda move around it automatically. Well this happened, and I thought, wtf ... there was nothing there but I was being blocked. So me being me decided to fire a few shots at whatever it was

turned out to be a stealther
