has the weapon stay on thing been resolved? can some1 gimme the result? I personally would prefer it on in the FFA so u don't die once and keep continually dying as u try to take ppl on with the pistol every time u respawn cos the top player(s) have all the weapons (by top player I mean the 1 who didn't die thru luck, or judgement, I would also like weapon stay on in the duels also because well similiar reason really, 1 there WILL be spawn killing goin on with the money that is available and 2 camping will be encouraged guarding the best map specific weapon.

powerups: j00 have no idea how much I detest powerups... for all those that asked for powerups in the 1vs1 think about it, 1 of the maps is codex, now think about this, player x (yep, him again) starts near the sniper rifle, which if he is a 1/2 decent player he should know the invis is 1 shot away, he grabs that, nips over to the shield and then the flak, that, if both players are even is almost certainly goodnight vienna for the other guy, all because he started farther away from the powerups and the other guy went into a headstart.

/me climbs on his soap-box once again

deck16.... not in the 1vs1! wtf is that all about, unless it is the 1 drawn on the day, which would be cool, cos I have seen some epic battles on deck16 between the best players, but also I have seen the lamest games EVER there as well caused by powerups being on (another paragraph about those in a sec) this game was lame because 1 guy had low ping got sniper and patrolled the top headshotting the other guy (1vs1 btw) and restocking on the shield when it came back, (also giving him headshot protection) and the other guy just fell into his pattern, if that was me I woulda got the boots, jumped into the slot above the flak and gone and made myself a cuppa but whatever!!

oh yeah, something to think about, I recently had a debate about powerups and "u should use them because they are included and on by default, i.e Standard!" well redeemer is also standard, with 8 ppl playing deck in the first round a redeemer can easily get a monster kill, which takes absolutely NO SKILL what-so-ever, and believe me exactly the same is true if some1 ignores the fighting goin on around them, grabs the amp, then the shield, this makes them about 2.5 times more offensively powerful and 250% as strong defensively, which then leaves them to decimate every1, simply because they made the powerups (NOT SKILL) their objective, pretty sad really :(

U never seen top players play FFA have u..
When getting powerups, firstly u cant simply pick them up, if playing decent ppl, u have to fight and kill them first leaving the victor to get the powerup.
It also takes a lot of skill to have to timing of all the powerups in your head while killing everyone in your way at the same time.
In a good game, no one but me gets 90% of the powerups- this is part of being a good DM player.
Also having good awareness and frag stealing is essential.
Also u forget, when someone has amp or Shield most sensible ppl will either run, kill anyone weak nearby, or concentrate on fragging them.. Basically everyone ganging up on whoever has the powerup, meaning it isnt as useful anyway.

[G1BLETZ]

naa, u made no valid points there, either way u look at it, some1 WILL get the amp/shield and will dominate because they are so damn powerful, it DOES happen, I have played many many DM's and Duels, and this is exactly what happens

[Quasar[Void]]

i can see at least 3/4 excellent points in Creepys post m8. Hes defo right about timings and having to fend everyone off first.
...FACT...The shield belt and amp are very powerful in UT and if the best player in the server is having a good game then you will never see them.
Frag stealing is very important as best players realise it is the most efficient and safest way to get frags. However, being very aggressive when posessing powerups ie.invis and Amp (not shield belt because i see that as a bonus pickup) is crutial as you should always make the kill first.

Q

[G1BLETZ]

/me just detests powerups :(

[Ma$sAcRe]

G1BLETZ Deck 16][ is the best duel map going, I thought EVERY UT player knew that, geeeeeeeeeeeez! :P

So i now know u aint played many of the best FFA players :P

Creepy D is right about the powerups, u do have to fight for em in 1v1 against good ppl, its like a game of tactics.

[G1BLETZ]

I know Deck16][ is the best Duel map goin

*confused*!

I just think it's better without powerups, and why after that comment do u say something about FFA

*more confused*

and as for fighting 4 the powerups, well I'd rather fight to determine who has the most skill

G1B - playin good ppl on Deck!
