King of Living Dead

I am trying to get better at team doubles and was wondering if you could provides me with tips and/or links to gameplay to get better.

I especially need help on how to properly time power weapons because on some maps rockets spawn at 9:20 while on others at 8:30 or 9:05 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to correctly time rockets.

Whoops, I accidentally hit the "report" button instead of "reply". I hope nothing happens haha.

Anyway, in the "top forum topics" list, there's one about tips to getting 50, and the OP talks about a computer software to help him with weapon spawns. Sounds pretty handy.

The only tips I could give you (me and my twin bro play, but we never really got ultra high level, so take this with a grain of salt) are to never ever charge, and never ever get into a fight by yourself, not even if there's only one guy on the other team. If you have good teamwork and communication, you can win just about any two on two fight.

Also, use bait and switches (getting the opponent to start fighting one guy, then switch to the full health guy).


EDIT:
When playing oddball, focus on killing the other team first, then getting the ball. If you're under fire, drop the ball and fight.

In crazy king, not so much. Predict where the hill will go next and camp in it. It's a little cheap, but it works.

Good luck!

This site has timers.


This alone won't help, you can't just follow a timer in anything other than MLG.


@OP
The times will almost always be different. The timer doesn't start until the weapon has moved and then once again come to a stop, ie. drop the weapon or stand still for 3 seconds.

Which means that if rockets have a 2:30 respawn time on them and you pick them up and keep running for 20 seconds straight, they will respawn 2:50 seconds from the time you picked them up.

This makes it easy to keep track if you're the one who picked them up, but if an opponent picked up a power weapon, you will have no way of knowing how long he ran around for (unless you kill him soon after he picks them up).

This is why MLG spawns all their weapons slightly above the ground, so that they move on spawn and then stop when they hit the ground. This causes the timer to start automatically.

Best thing you can do if your opponents picked them up is to keep checking at around the 9-minute and 5:30 mark. If you pick them up then use the list of respawn times and don't start counting until you either drop the weapon on stand still for a few seconds with it.

Yes, really

Rockets( along with most power weapons) spawn 3:00 after being picked up. on most maps, this means 9:00 to 8:45, because people pick the up ASAP. if its a 15 minute game, they should be up at 12:00 to 11:45 and then in 3:00-3:30 increments after that.
