[QUOTE=DDSNv2;35165722]I kept spamming [VAG] cause nobody was attacking it except me.
There were 6 Technicians with turrets down, what else could I do to inform my team? :v:

You were a doombringer, with the Gotta Go Fast medal?
What is this witchcraft?
[QUOTE=lapsus_;35162622]How do you aim and generally use tactic00l strikes? I've never hit anyone with them, and I die more by them than by anything else in the game. Any tips?[/QUOTE]
Don't let them see the beam. Otherwise they just move out of the way.

You can ~switch~ classes

You have super heavy and someone throws a granade.
Sometimes bugs out and you fly away at the speed of sound.

Hint, look at the flag grab speed, then my top speed :v:
This was on Arx Novena.
You guys know that feel where your team is behind 0-4 5 minutes in and you think there is no way you can win. Then you decide, fuck *whatever class I was using*, I'm going for the flag. I started a flag rally with a Sentinel, passed it to my teammates to start it off. I switch to Pathfinder and start doing front to backs. We get to 2-4 before they start e-grabbing and getting flag defense. We win the stand off, 3-4. Have have 3 people on our team going for flag, 1 pure escort, 1 back to front, 1 side to side. Other team has our flag, side to side route got dibs. Other two paths give him cover we escort him to the hill above the base, near the vehicle pad. Enermy starts throwing down Orbitals and Tac Strikes, we dodge them all. We get back the flag our flag. Tied 4-4.
Other team goes for a Shrike Grab as soon as our flag is back and I get a MA on the shriek before hes close and he ejects into the aquaduct thing behind base. He splatters against an Infilitrator with Super Heavy on the flag. We get another escort run going again. They have mines and a turret, our second escort got the flag after the first died to the mines. Epic stuff happens we win the game 5-4, coming back from a 0-4 deficit.
I FEEL SO ALIVE.

Why have I never thought of this before?!
[QUOTE=Crimor;35170559]Why have I never thought of this before?![/QUOTE]
Because it is very boring, and doesn't work when the person does a disc to clear.
The infilitrator wasn't even cloaked, he was backing up to avoid a mortar and the hopeful flag grabber clipped his ass and turned into giblets.

GOTTA GO FAST

I hate how this game is based so much on kills, I cant just focus on flag caps to win :(
2000 per cap, you get a little over 10k points for that if you get every flag but people that did nothing to help the flag cap and killed people can get 20k.
[editline]17th March 2012[/editline]
That and those assholes that have no health and are going really slow but don't pass the flag to another teammate.
It seems that you can keep firing your weapon if you fire it just before you get on a grav cycle
Time to do some drive by thumping.
Whiteout grenades are hilarious.

Fun fact, at 567 sanic you can outrun your own Light spinfusor shot. So a Light Spinfusor moves at 284 Sanics, roughtly.

waaaaaaaaaaat.
The last thing I think about when playing Tribes is kills no matter which role I decide to play.
Offensive: Either capping the flag or harassing the enemy enough to make sure the caper can go by with little to no trouble.
Defense: Stopping enemy from capping and keeping generator, radar, and turrets up.
To me getting kills is just something that happens when I am trying to accomplish any of the above goals.
The grav bike trick works with fusion mortars too :v:

I present to you outrunning your weapon, the Motion Picture. MSI Afterburner doesn't capture audio so you get UT map music, enjoy.

I'm the same but the people that focus on kills instead of the flag always get higher points than me, even if I cap all 5 flags.

Only way to get top score is to cap 5 flags before someone with bounty hunter gets 6-11 kills depending on armor types/sprees/etc. ITT: Rarely happening.

I wonder if it'll work with the Sabre Launcher
It's a shame.

Id like to see the grenade launcher.

I get loads of kills because I focus on kills (sometimes).
This game is still an FPS and it is focused on killing.
Not because I'm a supposed 'KDR whore' but because killing is congruent with winning. I can't think of a single role/aspect of the game that isn't improved by killing.
It doesn't matter anyway, because EXP gain has little to do with your position on the scoreboard.

Nope, can't lock onto anything when on the bike. Also you can do this trick by being in the passenger seat and then switching to the driver seat. You can use it to change your angle.

And besides, if somebody is too busy being dead/trying to defend himself against you, he's too busy to defend the flag
