Quake / Question from a newbie..
« on: August 14, 2006, 11:52:43 AM »
How do you bind keys (like hook for example). I'm getting totally owned in Ctf and need some help.

Also, is there a way I can bind my mousewheel as weapon selector. I'm used to that from quake 3 and it helped me alot.

Thanks :)

Medium setting, those ammo depots and shit are the worst, they are so boring.

Its very dull. Its basically

"Kill strogg"
"Move on"
"Flip switch(es)"
"Find Secret Area"
"Move on"

Hopefully it gets better.

I think sound knowlege is one of the best skills to learn. It goes hand in hand with map knowledge. For example, say you are on dm1, if at any time you hear a small health pick up, they MUST be down by the rail water pool as that is the only place in the map the small health packs are at. Same with the armor shards, if you hear that pickup, there are only two places the opponent could be, by the hyperblaster shards or by the mega shards. A person with good sound skills coupled with map knowledge is force to be reckoned with as it will almost seem as if they are walling you to find where you are. There has been a few times where people have called me a waller just cause I can distinguish what sounds come from where on a map. It works better when there are small amounts of people playing a map. When you get into larger amounts of people (IE vanilla), best advise is to watch your back. Know what's behind you as well as what's ahead. Don't be afraid to spam rockets at an entrance or high traffic area. For aiming, I find it easier to let the opponent jump into your crosshairs instead of trying to place them on him. Keep it steady and let them do the work for you. Every weapon has a use, fire your rockets at peoples feet to bounce them around, pull out a super shotgun to throw off someones aim. Evasion is another good one. One of the easiest things to do if someone is chasing you is while still facing forward, start backpeddling. In seeing your back facing them, most will assume you are continuing your forward momentum.

Alright guys thanks for all the tips. I find jumping not so much helps to aim (since I used to jump all the time) and that when in a fight (especially with rails) take cover behind a wall then jump back out and kill the person.

only 14? wow and i thought i got into the race late =/

i started 6-7 years ago, which was near the end of quake2's heyday :(

Yeah, well it doesnt really matter, this game seems to still be fairly populated, with a couple mappers and modders here and there.
