Translocator tricks

[legacy-Goblin072]

Thanks for the good info. I found a better way to deal with translocators. I started playing team deathmatch and OMG too easy,
play to 60 and I get 25 -30 points of 60 on 5 on 5. Its more like q2 days, just have to practice the shock rifle. Its sort of cheap newbie trick like the BFG was in quake. But hey its part of the game.

Goblin with the Q2 memories

I played a lot of that in college I know what you mean about feeling like some of the tactics in this game are kind of cheap, but really once you get the hang of more of the moves it won't seem so unbalanced. That has been my experience coming from mostly Q2 an Q3. I played some Unreal and some UT:GOTY, but not like well or anything, so some of the stuff that is traditional in this game seemed out of place to me at first, but I am getting used to it and the more you play it and discuss the crazy stuff you see in the game, the more you find how all the powerful strategies also tend to suck in the wrong situation. If the opponent knows what you're doing more than you do, it can seem like wizardry. Once you get enough tricks under your belt to be inventive and surprising you can get your nails on good in this arena too

You dont move faster by just collection pills. When you get 100 adren, u can do one of the 4 combos, forward 4 times is Speed, i'll let u use Search to find the rest...

you know that someone is using the speed combo (rather than a speed hack) because they will leave a glowing yellow "trail" behind them (maybe not at lowest graphic settings?)

Re: Re: moving fast

I know how the adrenaline works. I like the give health one that takes you to 200 health. I was referring to non adrenaline speed tricks. Some maybe due to the mutator being used and some maybe someone doing a shield jump then switching to translocator in midair and somehow asending even higher using it.

well... im wondering if he used a combo like so...

#1 facing backwards, uses the shield gun to gain some distance. this may or may not be counted as a jump

#2 in mid air because of this boost, he turns around and whips out the translocater and fires, and quickly transports

#3 does his first jump, still ascending

#4 does translocator again

#5 does his second jump

#6 coninutes to use translocator...


ive noticed that when i use the translocator to ascend higher, the faster you fall and crash to the floor. this may be because the rate in which you continue you drop increases, and when you teleport the properties of that inertia still sink in...

Yes...

I figured this out via another experiment: stand somewhere very high, say the top of the tower in Face3. Shoot your translocator disc into a safe place on the same level. Jump off the high place and just before you hit the ground, alt-fire to translocate. You do jump back to the top of the tower, but you splat with your accumulated momentum.
