Play with a pistol and toggle down sights, do this for a few days then go back to rifles... that's what I do if I feel like I'm slacking off.

Problem is that I always end up having so much fun with my pistol I have to remind myself to go back.

- Start out w/ good guns:
M16/M4 w/ red dot
RPD w/ grip
- Bandolier + Stopping Power + Deep Impact are probably the most effective perks
- Make sure to know the maps; make sure to notice where the popular spots are to camp at, then watch out for those places
- UAV is incredibly helpful, but don't become too reliant on it; if someone uses UAV jammer you're dead
- Sound is VERY important; listen for nearby footsteps and then check on your radar to see if it's an ally or not
- Don't forget to cook your grenades for at least a second or two

you can aim from the hip pretty easily from most of the guns. imp5/ak-74 fire from the hip. these are great for shooting through walls. i like mouse 3 to be knife. it's a one hit kill.

I can't image gaming without my 5 button mouse now. Mouse3 (thumb) is reload, mouse4 (wheel) is grenade, and mouse5 (pinky) is melee. I used to use the number pad for movement but have started using this recently. Has taken some getting used to but I like it.

Maytrdom has to be the cheapest perk of all time. You cant kill someone when you were alive so you have to rely on a computer dropped grenade to do the job for you. I call out anyone that uses this cheap perk.

I like the idea of hardcore but on all of the servers i have tried it was just a hug campfest with people waiting for you to come around a corner so they get the first kill. I'd rather people be fearless and charge into battle versus campers everywhere.

I opened a window to post this then wasn't sure how to word it. All of a sudden I told myself to hurry up before I get shot. I've been playing mp for a good part of the day.

Question.
When you get killed. It shows who killed you and with what weapon. If the text goes away too fast, is there a way to expand it or go back so you can see it again?

Some times the text goes by too fast. I UT2K4, you can open the console and see past messages.

I've been playing on fragStream 24/7 Crossfire.

It's a Free For All map.
There are spawn campers and martyrdom pussies but I still have fun.

Stopping Power + Martyrdom + 3x Frag = WIN

I keep using martyrdom just because of the pansies who cry about it. I guess if they were better players they could get away from it..

If you were better, they wouldn't kill you...
