Samurai's ETQW Guide to becoming a better player!

[Apples]

A strat guid would be awesome, but I'm not enough versed in comp to know the tactics... I can help out graphically tho (after sepember the 10th)... make some maps with main / alternate roads / spot to snipe from etc...

Peace

[Rex]

You put so much effort into it Samurai, all I can say is: Great job!

[murka]

Regarding net_clientMaxRate, it is capped by the server cvar net_serverMaxClientRate which is by default 16000. I'm quite sure there is no way one would hit that limit so people shouldn't be bothered by increasing it.

And as you mentioned it takes 5sec to capture a spawn, you could add that it takes 10sec to eliminate a spawn.

Great guide so far.

[r3fleX]

Thanks guys, oh really murka i might edit that in thanks.
Will not be able to update this guide until sunday as i am away untill saturday night maybe, currently making a sniper tutorial (done) and a small sniper movie to go along with it (half done) + the other fixes.

[Coliseum]

small sniper movie to go along with it (half done) + the other fixes.

Small? As in 15 mins in lenght with music and fancy editing? Well thank you very much!

All jokes aside, nice guide man. Just out of curiosity: what sens are you actually using atm (in terms of cm/360)?

[r3fleX]

erm approximately 27.5cm/360 with 105 fov, i also play at 1920 x 1080 16:9 aspect ratio, however thats with my sense at 1.2 (it usually changes with values between 1 and 1.3 depending on how im playing) so give or take 1/2 a cm i would say.

Hope it cures your curiosity

Also nah im looking to make it around 4 minutes long with some of Apoc's sniper frags (and a couple of mine ofc) any longer and you would get bored + im not very good with fancy editing...

[Dthy]

if you search #biatch.etqw on google, your the top result!

[Apples]

yeah! samurai makes us free ads

[BandwidthBandit]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, makes it more worth while
Yes sure i will add some irc channels in next version

It is a good compilation of ETQW wisdom to be sure and well done, but the link yo your config files appears to be broken (Rapid share says its maxxed out the number of downloads it can have for that file). Could you post it afresh or check the link? Apologies in advance if it's ok and I just caught it on a bad day.

I know my expectations are different from many but I prefer the following team and class selection config, it's s bit long winded and not an instant switch but the ability to preview my selection before locking it in appealed to me as I then don't have to remember a bucket load of (extra) keys.

Instructions are included in the comments sections...

//===========================================================
// TEAM SELECT KEYS
//===========================================================
// INSTRUCTIONS
// STEP ONE
//  F5 sets team as GDF
//  F6 sets team as Strogg
//  F7 sets team as spectator
// STEP TWO
//  F8  Soldier		or  Aggressor
//  F9  Medic		or  Technician
//  F10 Engineer	or  Constructor
//  F11 Field Ops	or  Oppressor
//  F12 Covert Ops	or  Infiltrator
// STEP THREE 
//  Select Function key multiple times for default weapon selection
//  e.g. F8 once = Soldier with Assault Rifle F8 twice = Soldier with Rocket launcher etc etc blah blah blah!
// STEP FOUR
//  KP_ENTER finalises the choice and notfies team
//  CTRL + K respawns
// Summary: Sounds complex but is really easy to use once you get going

40+ pages?! Impressive!

I'll look into it one day, i wonder how many things ill disagree with ;P

Has your flying guide been resurrected on these forums since the old ones are down? If not, might be a nice idea to post it aswell : )

[fry]

A flying guide would be awesome.
Cause all i can do with flyers is crashing in a very spectacular way.

Maybe other (semi-)professional players can work on a guide how to play Oppressor, Obli/RocketLauncher and Heavies.

[r3fleX]

Yes that would be a good idea as i have no experience of being a pilot so it is not covered in my guide

Also @ Bandwidth_Bandito sure i will change the link, i will be updating it shortly so thanks for including that...

I did have a very simple class script that only works in promod however they were different binds to my public class script. So i used the 1 that works in both, but heres the simple pro mod 1:

bind "F1" "Class 0 0; $say 'Spawning Soldier'" "" "default"
bind "F2" "Class 0 1; $say 'Spawning RL'" "" "default"
bind "F3" "Class 1 0; $say 'Spawning Medic" "" "default"
bind "F4" "Class 2 0; $say 'Spawning Engi'" "" "default"
bind "F5" "Class 3 0; $say 'Spawning Fops'" "" "default"
bind "F6" "Class 4 0; $say 'Spawning Acc'" "" "default"
bind "F7" "Class 4 1; $say 'Spawning Sniper'" "" "default"

This was used for comp so most weapons such as nailgun were not necessary but just change the 2nd number in "Class 0 0" to alter what weapon you use. The names are of GDF classes however when on strogg side it wil make you Techinician etc... Only works in PROMOD.

@Fry i can do a small bit on RL/Oblit as i started out in comp playing that role for a.Toon, its actually a very fun role if you use skill to judge the distance/arc to hit stuff rather than lockons, also by heavies do you mean heavy vehicles or heavy weapons like hyper/gpmg?

[fry]

hyper and gpmg are easy stuff imo

always stay on ground level; and gpmg kicks ass in scope mode...
(btw I noticed that for hyperblaster increasing net_clientprediction 5 units to what i use for lacerator/AR gives me a great advantage)

i mean heavy vehicles: tank,trojan APC, desecrator and fat one-eyed warmech(forgot the name )
Knowing how to place these vehicles best, like you described tank position on ARK with AIT behind house, what works very well.

+ i wonder whether 4Kings tanker just has luck shooting shielded hogs with tank from the front or if there is any trick behind this.(i watched the 4Kings fragmovie : " 7 of a kind")

[Seanza]

+ i wonder whether 4Kings tanker just has luck shooting shielded hogs with tank from the front or if there is any trick behind this.(i watched the 4Kings fragmovie : " 7 of a kind")

It wasn't luck, there's a way to to do it. He continued it constantly when he played for Explanation eSports too : )

[Dthy]

+ i wonder whether 4Kings tanker just has luck shooting shielded hogs with tank from the front or if there is any trick behind this.(i watched the 4Kings fragmovie : " 7 of a kind")

He aimed just infront, so it some how hit the bottom of the hog, and not the sheild. And tanking not that hard imo, love shooting tormy's out the sky

[treefrog]

an Obli/Rocket Launcher guide you say?

1) have a beer next to you
2) aim & fire
3) sip beer
4) aim & fire
5) sip beer
6) etc.


or at least that is how I play

[INF3RN0]

Red Barron let me in on something that was actually pretty interesting about the RL/Obli. Overall though I would say that everything in general takes practice, unless someone just linked you to an aimbot of course .
