Dodging

DODGEBOTS!!!

****, am I too old for this game or is playing two hours a week not enough?
Seriously, some people run like Spiderman through the levels. Left, right, left, right, up the wall, over your head, through your legs, ... it almost makes me dizzy!

I'd really appreciate if some servers would be marked "1337" so I don't lose my self-confidence next time I go online, lol.

That must be me. After endless hours building nodes in Warfare, I can hop around all day until my opponent has run out of ammo, or I need to go and refill my Link Gun.

The extreme dodging was even better in UT2K4.

Clever move to rename the thread, I could feel a lock/delete approaching. ^^

(or was it moderator hax involved?.. )

I've been saying for 3 years now that there need to be sandbox servers, just for novice players. Once your ELO >1000, you can't play on them, for example.

I make a new account every week so the ELO thing wouldn't work on me, is it possible to link the rating to the CD-key hash somehow?

Yes, i've always thought that one of the things UT 'really' needed was some sort of league system, but with the amount of players, you'd need worldwide low ping to be practical. A few sandbox servers sounds like a good solution. I'm not sure i'd trust the rankings system to make those choices though.

EDIT - tbh though, i do like a nice easy newby bashing, frag fest every so often

[UrFatMom]

could it be a ping thing? the other thing is your settings I notice when I max my eyecandy out I move alot slower, but when I crank them down I can do a bit of ownege moveing alot faster,

I am 43 years old and I understand where your comeing from, the youngsters have got the eye hand coordination down like we did when we were there age, we just have to out smart them

Yeah I'm 45, but then I've been playing this series for about a decade, and quake before that... and DOOM before that...

And frankly I don't think my reflexes have ever been quite up to snuff. But that is the challenge, isn't it.

There are numerous small things a person can do, get a better mouse, adjust control settings, get a better mousepad. Some things a person could do are impossible of course, like lifting your wrist off the pad for quick movement, setting it down for precise aiming. Or is it the other way around? See what I mean? Impossible.

I guess I could say things like find the zen in continuous movement, transcend the unreality of the matrix, trust the force... ok I'm done now

Oh, and for online play, like the previous guy said, ping could well be a factor, especially if you don't have the best isp connection in the world. You should try to prefer servers with the lowest ping you can get.

Yeah that was well put,
But still im surprised how some people can seem to hop out of the place you're about to shoot...

It seems almost like they can tell the future in a way but of course this is completely impossible,
maybe watch in on you're gun and see that your about to fire and for that split second they move out of the way but this is also very unlikely maybe it's just they have played so long they get the intuition and have a feeling they know where you're going to shoot which is actually possible.

I better get some training in,

on the other hand, i get bored in public servers
i only pug
