Worst....Tactic....ever...

Oh and the best tactic that has worked really well for me is all of you nc out there on emerald and konried, I want you to all come over to me someday unarmed or in a max with no ammo. Now this is the tricky part, i want you all then to stand there and don't move at all so I can ready my lasher, go monster trucking with my maurader, or mow the lawn with my mag mower. Follow this tactic and you'll go far in this game

When tank driving, either be able to repair or pair up with one who can, and be ready to pull out at half damage. By the time you actually DO pull out, it'll be a lot closer to full damage than you'd like.

00AgentDuck · 2003-07-27, 09:47 PM

Yeah I agree, also it works really well if you both can repair, that way it goes much quicker, the sooner your in your vechicle the less of a chance of you being run over or shot and the sooner you can go back into action.

1. When hacking, dont press the windows start menu key.

2. When fighting a Pounder MAX, give the big elmo a tickle-me-hug.

3. When fighting a Lasher, you either disco, or be discoed.

4. When fighting a Striker, don't forget to shit your pants and cry.

5. When fighting a Beamer, moan in pleasure. God damn deadliest vibrator ever.

6. Join the NC. We have Galaxy happy hour, topless tuesdays, and bloody damn good alchohol.

Hm here are some sniping tips:

1) The reticule is very, very sensitive. Try to avoid swinging your bolt driver around unless "scanning" an area. Small movements = good.

2) Lead your targets. It takes about 1-3 seconds for the targeting reticule to "set" itself to perfect acuracy so try to anticipate where your target will move (based on direction+speed). Also know that the bolts don't travel instantly, so you'll have to develop good instincts.

3) Snipe cloakers. Always. Infiltraitors running at full speed are excellent sniper bait once you learn how to nail moving targets. Sniping an infiltraitor not only gives you a one-hit kill, but also lowers the chance of future backstabbiness.

4) Be patient. It's tempting to fire snapshots, but ultimately you have to make your shots connect to be effective. Blazing an orange bolt at the ground every 3 seconds will reveal your position AND give your enemies confidence.

5) Angles are important. When engaged in a firefight, you'll want to circle around the main scrum and fire at enemies reloading/shooting behind cover. This often forces them to move (hopefully into more explosive, deadlier fire)

Just some simple, effective tips. Practice is good, reflexes are good, and thinking is good. They say that an idiotic sniper is a dead sniper. I couldn't agree more.

Flank.
Can't stress it enough. Very few people in this game possess decent situational awareness. Capitalize on that.

Trees are indestructable. A thick canopy will save your ass from air strikes.

WritheNC · 2003-07-28, 03:14 AM

When defending against the Vanu and you're in a base, stand on the wall. No ifs, ands or buts. And carry a thumper for all the Lasher lovers. Hell stand on the wall against the TR too.

Oh yeah, and you don't have to join NC. We're just freeloving hippies who get drunk and go to topless tuesdays and party whenever we're not fighting to preserve these freedoms.

I mean, that's not as fun as messing ourselves up by injecting/modifying ourselves with Vanu science, or spending 6 hours reciting the laws and strictures of the Terran Republic, BUT WE TRY DAMMIT!

Beamer works fine with a little finess.

Look both ways before crossing open country and use the trees lines to keep vehicles both friend and foe from running your ass down.

A few for commanders -

(this advise is valid as per our current patch)

1. Towers are vital in base capture, try to take towers before the base.

And one of Kylia's special tactics:
2. If you have 3 squads or more taking a base, have the hack, and the closest tower is within the SOI of the base - *get one of the squads to defend the tower*
Its in the SOI so you still get exp, Towers can make or break the hack, its a change sometimes troops need a change, holding towers can be a real challenge.

Get the jackhammer, god's tool of mass destruction. Well, I guess the lasher is now but I still have good times with my Jackhammer.
