Brief biography:
I specialize in tank operation....namely long range defense tactics.

I have got the targeting down to where i can make direct hit on an enemy soldier(infantry) with my tank shell 60\% of the time (long to mid range).......the hard part is leading them(hint: dont pay attention to the targeting reticule....watch your projectile).......it's like 90 pound bullet fired out of a big azz sniper rifle lol

I am also experienced with attack and defend-on-the-fly tactics with my tanks......a moving target is harder to hit than a stationary one.

I am adept enough to be able to drive blind[drive in reverse] and still navagate obstacles while pumping out round after round at my target(i am driver and gunner).

Best war experience : Defending a canyon for 15 minutes all by myself....killed 7 stealth tanks,5 nod mobile artillarys,and 4 flame tanks before they realized that i was the only tank in the canyon.....then they had to rush me with two flame tanks and one nod mobile artillary before they could push me back to the base.

I have only been playing renegade for a week now and i am starting to get a feel for the keyboard interface instead of the joystick i was used to using in unreal tournament.

There's my stat sheet.

Frankly I don't give a **** about my stats. All I know is when I play, mostly at one time or another someone asks me specifically if I'm in a clan yet. That's all I need to know.

I guess this is welcome to the lamers club eh?

lol

I prefer GDI and usually use medium tanks. Typically, my self-assigned role is to hold back and protect the base from any incoming attacks. Favorite activities.. ramming APVs and beating the snot out of them before they can get near the base and running over all the passsengers.. Too bad ramming doesn't do damage. Anyway, by sticking around the base in my medium tank I am usually able to stop engineer/nuke rushes on most levels (some are nearly impossible to defend against).

My absolute favorite activity is to walk up behind snipers and attach C4 to the back of their head.. or their face if they turn around. Preferrably timed C4 so I can watch them run around with it stuck to their head. It's tough to do though and usually their are more important things to do, but sometimes the opportunity presents itself.

My ping time is usually to high to allow me to do much with a sniper, but I don't really like sniping in this game anyway. I find tanks and infantry battles much more fun. I turn to Unreal for all of my sniping needs. The one exception is that I do use a sniper at times to take out artillery or missle launching units. It's very effective and they usually can never locate you before it's too late. This obviously works best with the lesser of the two sniper units.

My most successful tactic is to take an APV into the enemy base and place a beacon, then park the vehicle on it and shoot/smoosh anyone that comes near. Only works if no one sees exactly where you went, so sometimes I have to hide until their base is mostly empty of units.

My most preferred infantry unit is the black hand rapid laser guy.. good against everything. For GDI, I'm usually an engineer or hotwire.

Anyway.. that's how I often play. It might chance once I get a faster connection (should be next week).

Everytime you reboot, do you have to reload Renegade in your loadout manager? I do and I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong.

As for myself.

WOL user name: p00t3r
Weapon of choice: any (you have to be good at all)
Wins-14
Loses-15
Death-101
Kills-75
Points-10,069
Rank-4985

G420

Wins: 74
Losses: 83
Points: 11067
Rank: 560 (Colonel)

For some totals (I don't think these are ever reset like the points and ranking)- nothing too special but sometimes interesting to look at :

Times GDI: 153
Times NOD: 161
Buildings destroyed: 68
Squishes: 102
Enemies killed: 1252
Deaths: 933
Allies Killed: 33 (mostly people that purposely shot at my tank)

I usually do things on my own in most games, but always making decisions that I feel are best for the team. I don't chat much since you have to stop and type, which often is not wise to do... I do listen to what other people say and that often effects my decisions. After playing this game a while, I have begun to predict people's plans more accurately.

I don't know how to explain it.. the more I play, the more often I seem to end up in the right place at the right time. Like running into an humvee carrying two hotwires as I turn the corner in my tank, or ending up in the enemy base with a hotwire and no one around to interrupt the destruction of the building. It's weird sometimes.

Odds and ends:

Total Head Shots: 3561
Total Crotch Shtos: 627
Total Torso Shots: 9237
Total Times on GDI: 86
Total Times on NOD: 81
Total Vehicles Destroyed: 322
Total Buildings Destroyed: 36

I typically won't even play unless one of my clannies are in the game. Can't trust anyone else out there with my pixillated life Ever have one of those days...15-20 on each team....max vehicles reached....and you all seem to try to pour into that same one tiny opening.......I really hate when people do that.....if your bringing up the rear...MOVE YOUR A** TO A DIFFERENT SECTION. No more caffene.......
