An Icy Trail
This trail moves out into the icy tundra and wilderness off to the west,
but seems to head back towards civilization towards the coast. There are
many foot prints in the snow as people have traveled all the way from
the southern deserts up to the castle of Ice Crag to visit as a guest of
Lord Strife himself. There are infact some very odd foot prints that
lead off to the west, some aren't even human.

Erm, is this CircleMUN based? I could pull some GW-based ones... Hehe. Doing like 6k damage a hit, and 12 hits a round. Against other players.

I got a screenshot of a TFC game... http://www.kokorokara.org/apotheosis/Im ... enshot.gif
I only played like half of that game, so I probably would've had a higher score

Well, I don't have any screencaps, but I've managed to pull out second in several InstaUnlagged games in Quake 3 (rail-gun only). The only reason I pulled out second was cause the guy in lead was ridiculously good. Score would end up something like this:

(Note: I don't know their exact names)


Fort-Worth 30
glide 22
Everyone else



"glide" is me. Fort-Worth is the guy who rails people almost upon seeing them, and does that annoying Visor taunt right afterwords after every kill, or when he's just running around.

Fort-Worth: HAHAHAHAHHA....HAHAHAHHAHAHAA....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

*BZZT*

"You have been fragged by Fort-Worth for second place"

Dang.

However, in some other servers, I've managed to pull first. YAY

However, most of the time, I just suck.

With a deathcounts like that? Fuggin' camper...

To Exonerate: CAMPER!!!! *lobs grenade into Exonerate's hiding place*

What do you mean camper, I was running back and forth the bases grabbing the flag...

Half of my team's score was made by me alone.

Shinova: I made railgun kills on sight too

Played my friend, he couldn't even survive more than one second once I saw him.

Would your screenname happen to be something like "Fort-Worth"?


*Hand inches toward railgun*

I wish I had some of my old Rainbow Six, Rogue Spear and Ghost Recon MP screenshots sitting around.

Some of them were helluva funny.

Too late
I don't have Quake, I just played it at my friend's house. We were playing Corkscrew, a sniping mod... One hit kill railguns only

I used to play deathmatch Half-Life when it first came out, before CounterStrike ruined everything. I was a die-hard camper before 'camping' was even a WORD. People HATED me. In one team-match game, it got so bad that the enemy team THEMSELVES camped out at the crossbow spawn point so I wouldn't get it. Those were the days.

I still camp, actually. I know this will piss off a lot of you bare-balls Rambos out there who think that the best way to win in combat is the Starship Troopers method, but frankly, it's not MY fault if the enemy just keeps on SAUNTERING past my crosshairs. I once went through my entire ammo supply of sniper rounds in Unreal Tournament on this ONE GUY before he must have thought to himself, "Gee, MAYBE I should try a DIFFERENT route to the flag, or, like, you know, try and counter-snipe that guy in the tower that keeps PINNING MY HEAD TO THE WALL EVERY TEN SECONDS."

Dude, camping was a word back in the days of DOOM DM...

And yes, CounterStrike did ruin everything. We must destroy them, incinerate them, man after man, village after village, town after town...

I know this will piss off a lot of you bare-balls Rambos out there who think that the best way to win in combat is the Starship Troopers method, but frankly, it's not MY fault if the enemy just keeps on SAUNTERING past my crosshairs. I once went through my entire ammo supply of sniper rounds in Unreal Tournament on this ONE GUY before he must have thought to himself, "Gee, MAYBE I should try a DIFFERENT route to the flag, or, like, you know, try and counter-snipe that guy in the tower that keeps PINNING MY HEAD TO THE WALL EVERY TEN SECONDS."

I'd really love to see you try and pull that against myself and some other friends in Ghost Recon or OpFlash. In that you have to snipe properly, not camp. Otherwise you can expect an indirect fire 40mm round to be landing within a few centimetres of your position.

That and the fact that we've learnt that patience is your friend. Its better to spend 5 minutes crawling in long grass to get somewhere than 30seconds sprinting headlong into machinegun fire.

Damint I wish I had my old HL TFC screenshots, I had 117-9 Screenies, Once playing Sniper, Once Playing Engineer(2Fort-I built my gun right in the middle of the %#% bridge as a joke, instead it slaughtered people left and right for five full minutes with me running around grabing downed pacs and repairing it while shotguning down anyone who came to close

Damnit. The one multiplayer game I really, truly 0wnz at (RtCW) was just borrowed by my friend a few hours ago.

Oh well, I'll get screenshots later.

In one team-match game, it got so bad that the enemy team THEMSELVES camped out at the crossbow spawn point so I wouldn't get it. Those were the days.

I still camp, actually.

One of my most bitter complaints about UT 2003 is that they replaced the sniper rifle (the best weapon in the game IMHO) with the "lightning gun"... same exact weapon except with a highly visible bolt to make life difficult for those of us who prefer brains over a full frontal assault.

Hehe, I was quite good at sniping in UT too... On my first online game, I managed to pull off a score of like 80. I was sniping enemies with my shock rifle

I went out to dinner with a buddy on Saturday. We talked about the good old days of Quake I and 56K modems. Ive since forgotten the names of the maps, but still have some great memories of intense battles for rocket launcher spawn points.

One of the best multi-frags I ever saw was on the map where there is a lightening gun at the bottom of some water. Above the water is a bridge which you can run across. There also was a room nearby with a RL.

Anyway, one day I was at the bottom of the pool and someone triggered the lightening gun. I was the only survivor and I had 1 health. There were gibs floating down all over the place. After that one, a big game of grab the lightening gun first began. It was great.

Well, yeah. Take the steam out of my motor, will ya?

I haven't played that game. I'm onto Battlefield 1942 right now, and I play Tribes 2 like a maniac. Essentially, I believe in two prinicples: Anything that emits wide-range area-effect explosive damage is good, and that anything that let's me hit something instantly and from the other side of the map is good. Preferably, I'd combine both, like some of the insane mutators for UT let you do.

It varies by game. In things like UT and Quake where you can leap tall buildings and absorb truly heinous amounts of damage, sprinting around like a lunatic often works if for no other reason than to be on the move from the twenty or so nuclear rockets, BFG blasts and screen-wide energy balls that are flitting about the screen like buzzards with a purpose. But the minute you get to sprawling, multi-objective team games like Tribes 2 and Battlefield 1942, everything goes to hell and you either need one bigass piece of artillery with three engineers standing behind you, or a shady spot with a sniper rifle and a truckload of ammo, because no matter what you do to them, FPS players almost never learn.

In GR and OFP when I'm sniping I NEVER take more than 2 shots from the same location. You take your shot, then slowly move away from it back into cover and move to another place.

Another trick of mine when sniping is to psyche out the enemy. Everyone looks for snipers on the highground. If you're playing me - look everywhere, I've successfully taken out whole squads who were sweeping the forest on a hill looking for me while I was hiding in clumps of grass in a valley about 500m away (its fucking hard to snipe from that far in game).
