They're worthless in almost any situation, including close range. By the time you reload a single shell if you missed, you've probably been killed.
|
I'm sorry to hear that you suck with a shotgunner. I happen to be pretty good with them. I'm not saying it's possible to do good with them mind you, I'm saying that I have, on many occasions.

Artillery takes little skill.
|
so very very wrong...
to shoot a building with an artillery doesn't take skill... to smash the fuck out of 3 meds rushing me at the same time and keep my arty alive, that takes skill... headshotting havocs from the other end of the map, that takes skill
I get more headshots with light, med and arty than most people do with snipers... but obviously there's no skill involved there, right? because their weapon hits instantly and mine doesn't

Now ive been a ladderwhore, for some time.
And shooting a building doesnt require anyskill.
Noobjets require not much skill when it comes to getting points ore sometime no skill at all.
But being good with the tanks ore infantry requires alot of skill.
Getting a pic from far, ore a havoc with a med. Requires great timeing and aiming.
I reconigze the arty a bit harder to get body hits/headshot .
But thats just me probly.
But hey Ack, saying a arty doesnt require any skill at all, you probly havent seen Spoony with a arty then :rolleyes:
Even thoug the one in Renalert might be more realistic. The Arty realy does require skill in Renegade.

You can't "headshotting" something. Headshot works in many situations and never needs "ing" after it. You can be headshot, you can give someone a headshot, and you can take a headshot. Headshotted and headshotting are both wrong.
|
The context I was using would be "I am headshotting the Havoc". If that is grammatically incorrect then, well, I stand corrected.
| Aircraftkiller |
Artillery rounds will peel off in a cone shaped area as you fire, making them inaccurate.
|
That's why they are harder to hit people with than snipers, as well as the fact they take time for the shell to travel instead of hitting instantly. Hence, they take more skill.
| Aircraftkiller |
Since they don't fire nearly fast enough to do much more than give explosive damage to whatever they impact nearby, nine times out of ten you've got a luck kill on a soldier.
|
I'm not talking about splash, I'm talking about shooting infantry in the face.
| Aircraftkiller |
Artillery is easy to use, its only drawback is the armor type.
|
It's easy for any noob to sit there shooting a building for a while and get a big fat bag of points. It is not easy for anyone to use it with the kind of effectiveness I'm talking about, which has nothing to do with attacking buildings.

Heh ADM, I feel your pain. I get banned/kicked in CS all the time because I can pull 40-5 or 40-2 or some other crazy KD ration like that all the time. I take kicks as a sign to start tormenting the admin (rejoin ASAP and start owning again) and I take bans as badges of honor (I have like 15 CS server bans  )
What to do about it? Just keep playing and if you get accused of hacking so be it. It only proves that your oponents carry the IQ of a carrot. Laugh at, mock, and ridicule anyone who kicks you...make then feel sorry for trying to dsiturb your peace. If that isn't your thing, just do what makes you happy. It's a game, enjoy it...and kill those who don't (not IRL of course  )
Peace out,

Hmm, I love how ACK used to get mad at ME for "trolling" this forum, lol! The only person I have any beef with is infact him, never bothered anyone else, yet now he runs rampant posting crap everywhere. Oh, the irony 
PS -- Get the same thing with servers, I don't play much, but that is becuase most of the RG servers are empty, and when I play on a non-RG one, I usually do quite well with one on one rifle fighting, and get banned within 10 minutes, little bit annoying, lol
I should host my own server again, I had a big fanbase of kids who played all the time in it, and I wouldn't have to worry about crap in it.

hehe
artiallry is the suckage
its splash damage is completly fucked.. i can barely kill infantry with it
shoot the floor infront of a soldier and it does 0 DMG
shoot the floor behind a soldier it does 0 DMG
shoot the floor besides the soldier it does some DMG
shoot a wall behind the soldier his a dead man
completly fucked
owning tanks with artilary is easy does not require many shots to kill a med or a mamoth
|

Reasons for that our internet sucks and/or the server has a shit nur. You should have 80kbps in small games and upwards of 170 in larger games. That way you get good splash

it means your character flickers like a little fairy in a disney film..
it happens when you purchase a sniper unit, right-click to scope mode, and move left and right.. bam! flicker!
if you respect your enemy i.e. you like them, hold in shift while moving left and right.. that way you'll only walk, like it's supposed to be.
