Subject: Blowing Weapons to yourself

Just wondering the different things people have done on all the MP maps to blow weapons to yourself. On hang em high I can blow the sniper to myself from 4 different spots, and the rocket launcher from two. I can blow myself the sniper from each base on blood gulch. I want to figure out how to blow myself the rocket launcher on prisoner when I'm on the top level. ANyone else have SupRemE coolness?

You can blow the RL to yourself from the Top Level.

You can do it from a door on the top level. The door that is closest to the Sniper perch ( The Sniper perch by the Plasma Rifle ). I always play with Generic weapons, so I have a pistol in Prisoner. The way I tell you how to get the RL is when you have the pistol, but you can do it with any weapon, you just have to figure out where to aim with whatever weapon you usually have.

Just stand in the door way, back up and put your back against the wall behind the doorway. Zoom x2 with your pistol, and center your Cross Hair between the doorway. Now without moving your Cross hair left or right, look up or down til the top of the Circle ( Your Cross hair circle thing.... ) is just barely touching the bottom of the Top Walkway in front of you. Then just throw a Frag grenade. Now run forward to the Ledge in front of the Doorway and hold " X ". When the grenade blows up it will blow the RL to you, and since you are holding " X " you will pick it up right as it passes you.

That is how to get the RL to " YOU ". But there are other places on the top and 2nd level where you can blow the RL to the top level, but it won't be by you. Like you can blow it to the platform where the OS is from a lot of places. I can do it from 4 places. It's really helpful in when you are playing 2v2 and you want to send the RL to a teammate on the top level so he'll have OS and RL. =)

Hope that helps......

Oh, this may be off the subject, but don't you hate it when the other team plays dirty? I mean when they do the Opposite of blowing a weapon to themselves.

Here's what I mean. I'm playing CTF in Blood Gulch, and the other team is at our base. <I'm dead at the moment, waiting to Respawn> When one of them manages to get the flag, he runs to the top of the base and starts to go to the teleporter with the flag. " Fine," I say to myself, "I can just snipe you when I respawn." Well before the guy goes thru the teleporter, he drops the flag real quick and throws a 'nade at the Sniper Rifle, then picks up the flag, and goes thru the teleporter. I respawn just in time to see my "Precious" snipe fly away......
I HATE it so much when they do that.

They also do that to me in Derelict, whenever they are close enough to throw a 'nade to the snipe on the ledge, they do it and just keep blowing my Snipe away. Does this happen to anybody else?

What a dirty strategy!!!! :(

That's not dirty, its a good strategy. When you're going through the teleport with the flag, Sniping from your persuers at their base is one of the big problems, along with people going through the teleport.

If you're not thinking about that then maybe your lagging behind a little.

what is bumping?

thanks for the tip with the launcher on prisoner. Do you know how to do any other tight ones? Or better yet, know of a video that is only nading things to yourself? Thanks.....

You're welcome. I know a lot more, but it's too hard to explain exactly where to look and stand and stuff. I don't know of any videos. Sorry......

To Spartan_3920 : I know it's a very good strategy, but it just feels dirty when it happens to you. When it happens to me, esp. in BG, I feel like it's a waste. Since I'm constantly trying to get better, I just end up feeling like they wasted the Sniper Rifle, when I could've used it to practice my shot. Then I have to wait another 2 min. just to get it again. It just sucks thats all. I don't mind if that happens in a tournament, but amonst friends I just feel they wasted it if they didn't use it, that's all.
