Is anyone willing to point the way to some tutorials, or such,
that describe the most advantageous situations/distances for using a given weapon?

A lot of it is common sense, I know, and some of it must be individual player preference,
but I still have no idea when (if ever) to yank out the hyperblaster, and burn
off a stream of shots.

The disadvantage of hb is that it's not as instantaneous as chain/mg/ssg/rail, therefore more difficult to aim. If your in close proximity of somebody you can RAPE somebody w/ hb. All it takes is 7 shots to kill somebody after spawning (which can be as quick as 2 seconds). The best place to use hb is in the water, because it limits your opponents movement and you can hit them a lot easier. You're gay.

Of course, you'd know all about spawn killing you pansy-ass bitch!

How many of your career frags were armed with the blaster haunted? all of them, I bet.

AWESOME ANALYSIS HAUNTED

as i said earlier in this post:

Hyperblaster is very effect for spamming close corridors or if you are in the water (hyper does about 9 dmg per hit) and when in water people arent moving fast enough to escape it usually. When in the water be aware that people move much faster down than they do side to side or up so focus on the lower parts of their person (legs) more than the upper parts.

Hmm, when did we start spawning with 63 health ?

about the time that pigs started flying and haunted grew a brain cell.

Bind weapons to keys instead of cycling through them

true in tdm ffa or any other mod, cycling is a n00b mark, takes too damn long... even if you wanna cycle some, ALWAYS bind ATLEAST your main 3 weps to keys (aka RL RG and CG or SSG)

Having run into you on Mutant a few times, Xtyfe, I think that you, myself, Adam, and Omega are all around the same level. Granted, you and I have been playing for a _long_ time (started Q2 in early '98, played NQ and QW since '96) .. but hey, this is where we're at. Adam and Omega are always online and often up for a game..and I'm certainly down for some frags in the evenings. I'd also like to improve, and I'm sure they would, too. So let's try to get some games together on the novice server - or on our own "quiet" place.

Regarding the novice server, I've found that it often fills up with sport/pro players, which really pisses me off. I shouldn't get skunked on a novice server.. I'm not that green. Sport/pro players need to understand that getting beatup on a server that's reserved for novice players is really frustrating for those who seek that level of play for good reasons.

i dont even use keys to bind my weapons
i have a script that takes care of it all

// Best Weapon

bind MWHEELDOWN "use shotgun;use machinegun;use hyperblaster;use chaingun;use super shotgun;play aliases/change"
bind MWHEELUP "use grenades;use grenade launcher;use railgun;use rocket launcher;play aliases/change"

i can press mwheeldown once for supershotgun and then again for the chain
press mwheelup for rocket and then again for rail
if i dont have any of those, it picks the next best one

no offence to omega, but i think adam is a much more experinced player
id say im in the middle between them

Jay Dolan · « **Reply #28 on:** July 19, 2006, 05:05:44 AM »

You are _always_ online

I bind my powerful weapons explicitly. An auto-change just wouldn't work for me. I put more thought into which weapon to use than that.

Jay Dolan · « **Reply #29 on:** July 19, 2006, 05:07:34 AM »

My point wasn't to rank each of us to each other, but rather to point out that there are other novice players around who are eager to improve..possibly together.
