Not to file this under "discovery of the week" or anything, but...

When GDI is on a rush to Nod and their vehicle blows up short of their destination, how often do you see all the GDI soldiers running in a cluster, only to die because the Ob ray gets all of them in one shot? I've been trying to stay away from the pack, and it seems to help our odds of someone getting inside a building with some C-4. Anyone else notice this?

I often find that if you run for a secondary building (not the origional intended target), you have a high propability of success. The group is running towards the obe, and you run for the Hand or Air. If you get inside, the group destracted the other players and the obe and [sometimes] you sneak in to do some major damage.

Than again...sometimes the obe shoots you.

I was also reading about a map that allows two ob rays to shoot at the same time. This is the exception rather than the rule, right?

As for distractions, it's always good to have more than one objective, so long as people stick to a team's plan. That's the kicker.

bottom line chars can live this shot btw ppl, as long as u get hit in the leg, the game light for your chest, thus if u jump and jump to the side (not zig zagin until it shots once) it will hit your leg, only dealing about 150-200 damage, wich is enoguht for u to walk in n blow up a light, i do this with hotty in hourglass 2v2, and kill the light fast! but yes, mass slaughters via the lgiht has happen to me often!

The Obelisk ray does splash damage--that's the only way the obelisk can be so accurate with infantry, apparently.

well the ob doesn't do splash damage, its acurate becuase its a base defense, and is a simply trig calculation to the game (and i think i need some spell check), but ya, its the same reason why the AGT hits always even with the seeminly homing missle, and the same reason turrets usaully hit tanks, and gun towers hit everthing perfect.

No, the obelisk does splash damage. It doesn't 'home' in on anything because it's a laser. Don't you remember the demo? People were dodging the obelisk beam left and right because the laser just wasn't accurate enough.

I can still dodge the obelisk left and right. esp. On field.
I can OB walk to every where on Nod side of C&C_Field.
Ref is quite hard actually, but it can be done. With 2 people, it's a piece of cake!
