Facing worlds

Post by ut_freak »

when I play online CTF in ut99 goty, i see people who shoot their translocator's all the way to the opposite building. I tried it a few times but is doesn't seem to work, when I ask my team they do'nt respond.
So my question is: How do they shoot their translocator that far?

Shoot the translocator on the floor. When that is done, charge your Impact hammer and shoot at it! It easy can fly over the other side of the face tower

And if you shoot your trans on the air, try to hit them with a primary shock riffle. It can fly enormous distances... bigger than when you shoot them with impact hammer ;]

Its HARD to hit them, but for easiest way, shoot your trans right up of you... 90% vertical...

Ah dude, I become from a clan who have a name, Practice Makes Perfect ;]

So if its sounds impossible, and if it looks impossible (especially when you try it) you just need to practice!
Believe me, I use that trick sometime even today on CTF-Face, and that kind of maps with large amount of free space.

A better method is if you play a team insta server go for an Insta-Boost if the server allows it.
You won't leave a predictable landing marker, or miss-aim and when the people underneath see you fly - I guarantee their jaws drop. :rock: Atleast for the first time. After that they get rather narked. :loool:

This will attract the attention of Whiners,Losers & Gaylords. :ironic2:

Get some antigrav boots and shoot it up, then click in, shoot forwards :) Always works for me :)

I never think about using the translocator... It seems that I am wrong.
