Jump all the time. If your moving and jumping from
side to side, your enemies will have a tough time targeting you. Jumping forward and backward is much better then standing and jumping straight up. But what are you doing standing still, anyway?
Strafing is your Friend
Learn to strafe, and you'll soon be a great player
. Strafing around corners is a lot better then turning
around, because if there is danger right behind a corner,
you will be able to easily target the danger instead of
having to turn and line yourself up, which can give the
enemy the time he needs to kill you.
Circle Strafing is a Closer Friend
This can be a hard technique to learn, but it will
pay dividends in the end. What circle strafing is,
you are strafing around in a circle, with your crosshairs
on the target at the whole time. So basically your traveling
in a complete circle, but your not losing track of the target.
ASMD Shock Rifle
PRIMARY ATTACK: Bolt of energy that fires instaneously.
SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires a slower, bigger bolt that
has splash damage.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Fire the SECONDARY attack, then
fire the PRIMARY attack. The second time you fire
, make sure you hit the bolt. This causes more damage.
Rocket Launcher
PRIMARY ATTACK: Fires rockets, up to six
(while holding the FIRE button).
SECONDARY ATTACK: Fires grenades that bounce
, up to six. (while holding the FIRE button).
THIRD ATTACK: Queue rockets with the PRIMARY
fire, and just before you launch them, hold down the
SECONDARY fire, and the rockets will come out in a
tight group, rather than a spread.*
FOURTH ATTACK: Keep the Rocket Launcher
crosshairs on an enemy for long enough, and they
will turn red. Now fire, and the rockets will track the enemy.
Antigrav Boots
These will allow you to jump much higher then usual
and reduce the amount of damage you take on falls.
It can only be used for three jumps, and it can't be turned on
or off, so don't jump after getting them unless you need to
jump high. Use of the antigrav boots in combination with
hammer jumps, lets u jump very high.
Tips for Beating Bots
Bots don't always look behind them when they're running.
Use this opportunity to gun them down.
Usually, bots only stand still when they're waiting for
an elevator. This is a good moment to kill them.
Most bots run a pattern for each level. Figure out
this pattern and you'll be able to kill them before you know it.
In team games, the bots will sometimes give you useful
information. Listen to them.<
Bots will sometimes camp out by a powerup, such as
a shield belt. They won't expect you, so sneak up behind
them.
Don't try to fight a bot one on one, in the face. At
higher skill levels, they will destroy you.
Some arenas have traps. Try to catch the bots in
them, as they almost always run into traps.
When you run around corners or obstacles, the
bots sometime lose track of you.
Don't play God. Unless you're the ultimate player
, you won't stand a chance at defeating them on
the Godlike difficulty. Turn it down and don't play hero.
Communication Rules
If someone gets a good shot on you, insult them.
Frag them on pulling off such a great shot.
You may join a server and see that all the names
resemble each other. This could be a clan game.
If someone asks you to leave, don't leave;
Some people who are new to the game, called "newbies",
may ask questions. Take the time and answer them.
Just think... you're giving help to a future fragger.
SPAM! This is the most annoying thing you can do.
Don't complain about campers. Just because they camp
doesn't mean they suck. If you are getting tired of campers,
just leave and find another server.
Complain about other players. Just because they
have a faster connection to you, doesn't mean they
deserve being bitched at.
If someone is lagged out, you can tell. They will be
standing still, and won't react if you move around them
or fire. It's very fun to these people if you frag them in
their state, so frag them, so they cant come back to
fight later.
LMS Strategies
Grab everything you can, even if you don't need it, so
your enemies can't have it
Look behind you at times to see if anyone is following you
Keep away from walls, as the splash damage from
explosive weapons can kill you
Try to avoid water, or at least go in when no one is
around. You move slower and are easier to hit
Never stop moving. A still target is an easy target.
Strafe as much as you can
Listen closely to sounds. Footsteps and gunshots
can tell you where something is happening
Attack from above, if possible. Players usually have
a much harder time hitting targets above them
Advanced Strategies
When using an explosive weapon, aim for the feet
so the splash damage will harm them no matter what
Aim for the head with certain weapons, as head shots
are more rewarding than body shots
Aim where you think the player will be in a second,
as this will guarantee a it. This is especially important in
heavy lag conditions
Knock your opponents around using the Rocket
Launcher or the Shock Rifle. This will keep your
opponents confused
Use the Translocator to get yourself out of trouble fast
Strafe around corners, so you can immediately see
people and will be able to attack them faster
Learn to circle strafe, as it will pay dividends in the end
Hammer Jump
Charge the PRIMARY attack of the Impact Hammer,
then aim at the ground. Jump, and at the top of the jump,
release the fire button. You will lose a bit of health,
but you'll jump much farter.
