There are many good tips about how to play and what to use scattered about the forum. It might be helpful to gather some of them together for those of us who still have much to learn.

 

Here's one I've learned is really useful:

 

TIP:  Try to ensure that you are always downed next to an ammo crate. That way, if you are stomped before you can gel or be revived, you can easily replenish your ammo once your team has completed the wave.

 

Your turn. :)

Empty your bladder while you're waiting in the lobby.


This is also good advice if you are in an ex girlfriend's apartment building at 2am...

Any tips on how to play better?

 

(Reminds me of Robin Hood having been downed by Little John. Looks at Morgan Freeman, says "Any ideas?" Morgan Freeman says "Get up. Move faster.")

 

Empty your bladder while you're waiting in the lobby.
 

 

But ready up first. You can also go once the loading screen starts. Along with cooking a 4-course meal.

Tip 1: always rage gell. Especially when dying next to your teammate.
Tip 2: wait for the right moment to kill a possessed Abomination. Believe me, you will know when it comes. The more people you take down, the better. Also learn how to use the reactor efficiently.
Tip 3: (as a wise man said before) rockets are there for only one reason- rage.
Tip 4: kill it before it kills you.

(P.S. Renegade teacher here.  :devil:)

Saw tips mentioned, thought of this:

 

Save money on expensive carpets for your house. Simply buy a couple of carpet tiles, cut them to the size of your feet and attach them to your feet using elastic bands.

Why waste money on an expensive new car with air-conditioning? Simply buy one that has been involved in a 'death crash' and let the ghosts keep you cool.

Dude, you have 6 medigels in a match, there's no excuse not to use them immediately if you go down. Don't wait to get revived because it will only make it worse for your team, instead be a man and realize that you died because you did something stupid and take the consequences and use a medigel!

 

Also, I believe that there are a lot of helpful tips in Dragonracer's sticky

Bullshit.

 

Too many times have I seen professional rage gellers run out of gel by wave 5 and when they eventually get smoked and bleed out, they blame the team for it. Almost as fun to watch as someone who bleeds out on wave 10 during a difficult objective because they're out of gels. I'm sure that their team benefited immensely from their gelling.

 

I'm not saying that one shouldn't insta gel, some situations do call for it- about to get stomped, died in open ground where a revive would be too risky, killed by a lurking turret and don't want team mates to follow the same path or because you just have to get revenge on that stupid sneaking guardian.  <_< But to say that one should insta gel all the time is ridiculous.

Also be sure and lash that full health and shield Phantom near unsuspecting teammates. It's likely the closest you'll ever get to throwing an angry cobra at someone.

That one is all serious and helpful, something no one has ever been in one of the threads that I've started.

 

Well, with one exception, now, a few posts above this one....

You must have been playing with some really really bad players then. If I die then I always use a medigel before I even fall to the ground, not because of rage but because I want to keep the match at a certain pace without interuptions. But then again, I almost never have to use more than 1-2 medigels per match and I expect the same from the people I play with.

You must not play pugs.



Then I must assume you have to solo a lot... 'cus with an attitude like that, you can't have too many friends.
