yes, but there are some tactics involved.. like the ladder etc, or using barrels for cover. i know they are small things, but they can make a difference. i use barrels for cover a lot when i need to switch weapons, that extra second or so lets me switch without getting hit. (if i didnt have the weapon i want preselected).
by not using the ladder, i meant i dont use it if i see someone firing over the ladder.. cause id get hit.. for crossbow, never let your radar dots align in a straight line (well, mostly straight, what with angle variance and right handed characters). if you never give them a clear shot, they cant hit you and will be forced to switch weapons.. example, you can hit someone with appirces and they cant hit you with crossbow because of the way the bullets spread.
gerami, a lot of people dont think about tactics, and call it laming, huwajux its just tactics. dont expect people to be nice to you and make it easy to kill them..
counters to """laming""":
crossbow: dont let them get in a straight line with you on radar
enemy is staying behind cover: go around or throw explosive or go away and let them get annoyed. or, crawl and sneak up a different ladder.. this worked against me once (the only time ive seen someone try it). also, charge on the reload. this is my most common method of attacking cover: count their bullets and ready myself / or just wait for the momentary pause in bullets.. and charge. wielding pipebombs is useful here.
also, try out alpha.. lots of tactics there because there is a LOT of cover.. trees are everywhere. its probaly my favorite level because it is so much fun to play..
i know some people are like 'its for nubs cause u cant win' .. well yeah, no team ever 'wins'.. but its fun. let your scor [hp plus / kills / deaths]e, or your bounty, or having no enemies around you be your goal. and the much cover makes for the most interesting battles. also, you have to be relatively safe to return to dropship.. unlike in ilricia, where you can use the teleporters. so things can get dangerous as your trying to return to avoid death.. and enemies are charging your position.
to avoid the chaingun: it shoots in straight lines. use spread weapons.
to hit people who strafe: get in a pattern where they are firing and arnt hitting you.. be careful that you shooting will slow you down, and if the bullets are trailing you you'll be hit. try dashing (double tapping) to throw off their aim, and while they are trying to recalibrate their aim, charge them. |
