Has enyone ever done this on Nod?
Get a 500 sniper with a nuke and a Stank. Place the nuke beacon and defend it from a far distance. when someone comes to disarm the nuke just get out and head shoot them then jump back into Stank and cloak again.
I used to do this on mappacks and fan maps and it used to work, but it won't work so much on Westwood maps i dont think.

Anyone cloud do that before.. I dont see the point of this thread while 90% of people had ideas like that. You wont be safe from meds when ur a sniper, get tech better.
|
Yet ive never seen anyone but myself do this.
This may be useful when GDI have no WF.
The idea of this tactic is stealth, like a SBH with sniper only you cloak faster.
There are probably easier ways to nuke but im just sharing one of my more rare tactics and like I said ive never seen anyone do this.

Hi, ok, first of all, if your in a Stank you obviously can't snipe, and secondly, I think that if you weren't in a Stank you be more stealthy, someone is bound to notice a Stank appearing then disappearing and that would draw attention and give your position away, while if your just a sniper, then they PROBABLY won't notice where you are, especially if you have a good snipe location not to mention they'll be running around trying to disarm the nuke.

Thats a good point, and precisly the reason why i said this probably won't work on Westwood maps since these maps tend to be alot smaller than fan maps.

No he is talking about Jelly's MapPack Server, they shut that down a while ago, all other Jelly servers are running.

Jelly's MapPack Server? What is that? Isn't that when they just rotate the map being played on? I guess my main question is if Jelly's Marathon is still up and running?
Also, i don't know where to ask this, but does anyone know the body damage? How muh more damage is a head shot to a torso shot or a limb? Or are all shots counted the same? And this is kinda the same thing, but if your a sniper does a headshot kill the guy and two body shots kills him? I've never figured out if Renegade counted head shots as more damage.

Yes Jelly Marathon is still up and so is: AOW1, AOW2, and Mini-AOW it was just the one marked "[MapPack]" that was taken down a while ago it had some fanmaps in it.
I'm not sure about anything else to do with damage but I think a pistol shot to the head does 50 someone correct me if I'm wrong.
