A lil' TIP for Filed Ops

[kwisatz_haderach]

When you respawn, especialy indoor, don't just rush to the objective or wherever you want to go with your knife !
Run and drop some precious ammo packs your mates will p/up when respawning with you or after you ! Then, take your knife and rush :D

Thanks for the reading

No no ! those are evil FO or Engineers with mines :p

This isn't ET classic.

When we spawn, we already move into a direction. Once down, we already move at fastest possible speed.

The fops slowing down, dropping ammo, he only gives it to the slow beginners who die before they run out of ammo.

Fops ammo is good on inside defense objective. Salvage inside, volcano everywhere, etc.

or to some 1337 who just /killed cause of no more ammo

Correct ! the time you get to where you should be you should already have 2 or 3 ammo packs ready to drop

i wondered....
if you play the field ops and you want to back kill..can you call for an airstrike, flank and run behind the strog.
the idea is demonstrated in teh last part of this vid:

i dont know if it works,, but in the salvage level it could be useful

on any server I have ever played on, your artillery would have teamkilled some players, taken out some med crates, and at least one deployable based on where it was hitting before you ran into the building. You're also wasting a lot of time waiting to recharge from the Vampire marker you wasted, should go out and actually kill or take the ammo to the players and not just randomly drop it off a ledge.

Also, try using that against real people maybe?

[Crime-Master]

i meant at the end of the video..not at the begining. the first strike was only for illustrative purposes,, in case everyone are dead and there are no deployables. i know i would hit some deployables, i play as an engineer most of the times myself. the field ops is used in the video as an emoergency, trying to call for a strike on vehicles (and against a strong team, not bots, all your turrets will be disabled) and also staying in a safe position and observing for the sneaky strog.

The end of the video shows me calling for an artillery to block the advancement of the strog and allowing me the ability to go back to the house and back kill..the question is whether it is useful.

[whiteaden]

wowz.. your arty skills must be immense!

all I can say is that Rocket Arty = THE anti vehicle strike... don't lock it on, but aim it manually @ the base of the Cyclops, then continue to the Desecrator & Hogs (if you haz skills you can take out a speeding hog with only 1 Rocket from your RA)

all your 1st arty strike does is block off a route which's easily guarded by a single Titan (you have 2!) the other titan on the hill and you're set for a tough match Strogg

that 2nd artillery strike should've been AIT'd cause any common sensed Constructor should deploy an AIT if he sees they already have an AVT hanging round that area, to protect their turrets from GDF fieldops('s?) from dropping their Arty on the deployable farm, and to give the Dessy & Cyclops a place to hide from RocketArty...

A Failed Ops :p

Jk.

As white said, RA should be used here, as due to amount of approach routes, it's a waste of time trying to block out enemy infantry, which can be done with vehicles. Either airstrike/ RA. And go contribute your gun to the frontline once it's reloading.

I'd say it's more useful in stage 2 (normal arty) once anansi disables AIT, it can be used to temporarily cover the bridge/riverway. But IMHO arty is pretty much unnesessary on this map.





What do you call a noob, tree- hugging sniper? Coward Ops :p

agreed, agreed and, agreed :)

but don't expect your argument to be accepted now you've agreed with me.. I tend to know nothing and have no education according to Cry-master

[Random Generator]

Meh, I care since when? :p

And how does he know that you didn't steal my post in the first place, made me agree to it and agreed to it yourself after? In this case it's all my idea :p

So as this not to be spam, here's a tip: on salvage, 3d obj. The FO can call in arty while standing in the tunnel(one that's underground, where strogg drop down through a blown hatch) This is not known to many newbies and they run to the main destroyed door into the bunker to call upon arty. *sigh*

damn right RA is the way to go an that map,cept only fire it when you either have a striaght shot,or are in a postion to bend the missiles round the hooses!:dance: :dance: :oppressor: :dance: :dance:

warning.. filed ops in the building, make sure all your paperwork is in order or face the wrath of....
a pissed off accountant!

[kwisatz_haderach]

Hey stop highjacking my thread when i'm @work !

We're (I am ?) talking about ammo packs ! :mad:
You CAN drop randomly ammo packs (actualy i think this is the best way to do it when used with the 'ammo packs dropped' vsay) but it has to be done where there is a lot of gdf infantry traffic.
For example in Ark objective 1 that would be around the generator and right next to the house strogg side (a lot of ppl always getting in and out of this house).

*getting tired by numerous obvious "advices".*
btw, learn about "i need ammo" context menyu, btn !!


p.s.
ammopack last not long, keep it in mind, calculating tradeoff between firesupport, CQB and ammo supplying episodes time slicing.

unless you got points against my actual "tips&tricks"[which is main reason for my posting], you can safely, go to bed, too.
safely until you post something like that, again.

wow i'm scared now...

there are 2 kinds of ppl using the "i need ammo" vsay :
1- ppl near you
2- ppl not near you (more than a 2 0seconds run)

feed 1.
2 should respawn
