Heyyo,
I'm with skip. Fuelrods are for the weak who couldn't aim a pistol to take out a tank.
If you need a fuelrod to kill 2 inexperienced players? maybe you're inexperienced too. I can mow down quite a few poeple with just a pistol and 120 bullets of pain. I give them a fiar chance by using a skilled weapon, not my fault they usually charge at me with an ar. ;)
Tank on poral? that's a really ghey tactic. 1 sniper, you're dead. It's not that effective either as the tank doesn't have much of a downards angle, and since it's accuracy's not very good, a skilled player could be ontop of the main base structure and whup the tank. Just stand near the left ledge and watch as the tank can't hit the groud beside you to kill you, especially if the tank tries to hit you directly with a tank blast, lol.
A good strat on that level is to just drive a hog in for the flag. Most of the time the players are too busy playing Team Slayer ontop of the level, or running amok with hogs on the outside to even play ctf.. I once just drove 3 laps around death isl with a hog grabbig the flag each time, and won the map in less than 5 mins.. tactics? lol, right.
Sniping's pretty fun, and require lots of skill due to the need to lead your shots. I love it when I run around the top of deathisl and kill a lot. (note, never stay in the same place, that's just dumb. You stay there? people you kill will know where you and and slay you eventually, run around, make yourself random, you'll live longer, and they can't call you a camper since you don't stay still). ;)
Now, for fulerodkilling? lol, no, I don't get any kick outta it. Wow, I can shoot peple with a cannon made for people that are lacking in skills. I usually just use it to tip over hogs, then switch to a gun like a pistol or shotty, blast the crap outta them. Nothing's more rewarding than a point-blank, 1 shot to the face with a shotty. They light up with lots of sparks and fall flat down defeated in just miliseconds. with a fuelrodgun, all you see is green blobs...
On wizard, when I hear those killtaculars when I'm just blasting away with a shotgun as people run from me? oh, that's a great feeling. When your buddies shout on teamspeak, "MarD, you are the shotty master." It makes your ego grow. On ut2k3 and 2k4? Almost each match, I at least once get awarded with "Flak Monkey." No other gun rewards you so for fragging with it frequently. :)
