Don't stand in the doorway!

[sakhmet]

Don't stand in the doorway, damn it!

Go all the way in or stay all the way out. When you stand in a doorway your teammates can't go through and can't shoot through. If you see an enemy and start a firefight at least step to one side. It's a good idea to move sideways or back and forth anyway, moving target being harder to hit and all.

(if you are trying to keep an enemy from coming through the door, then ok)

[ducks]

Noted.

Ta!

[zaku212]

run through the door, shoot @ priority targets(medics,heavy weapons,or engies planting mines),take down 2,and if ya can take the rest do so,otherwise run back through the door and heal(if you be med/tech) or stroy(up/down)

If someone is standing in the doorway, press G to push him away!

[Szakalot]

If someone is standing in the doorway, press fire to push him away!

fixed that for you.

[zaku212]

no no no, press seven and hit em a slap with your binoculars!!

[LighT_Sh4v0r]

fixed that for you.

That works as well, but it's not a very constructive way of making them know they're holding us up. I'd do that the second time I see him block something off though.

[ShibbyUK]

Same applies in real life too.

It causes a terrible draft!

people that stand in the doorway wont notice their being pushed. They notice dying though. I do kill those kind of people, but only when their blocking a doorway completely, and inside the spawn. For example at the mcp stage in valley, gdf forward spawn. An engy mining and blocking there, makes a spawn die because they cant escape a desecrator outside with the zombie time still intact.
Normally ill pop a round or two to get their notice, drop a med pack and chat in not to block doors. If they fight back, ill either ignore them or kill them completely. I do it rarely though, dont make me look like a monster; however i will not have my gameplay crippled by someone blocking a bloody path to the obj.

I don't get this one. Isn't then enemy smart enough to kill you?

I hate when people go afk in the doorways. I hate when people go afk.

[maveldis]

note: i know my post is pointless but hell so is bitching on a public forum :D

1) Abuse them over VOIP
2) Shoot at them, TK if needed. G never works for me.

actually that would be handy

[LighT_Sh4v0r]

I find G quite effective tbh.
It doesn't push them far, but usually far enough to make space, and you can do it again if it wasn't far enough ;)
And bodyblocking is an awesome tactic vs opponents on Quarry 2nd objective :)
had an awesome moment a few days ago, where some oppressor came tormydiving into the ship with a cel. I stood right there, he bumped into me, and I instant-headshotted him with the sniper rifle. That looks cool, believe me!

kung fu strogg?

Varlinx, It's called being a "meat-shield". The idea is that they have to get through you to get by or get to to somebody that is transmitting or disarming, etc. And you can shoot them the whole time they are trying.

Similar is blocking a doorway with an icarus or an armadillo. They can grenade it, but it slows them down.

[Aristotle]

I used to abuse push in ET, if I noticed retards on my team not doing anything worthwhile, and they were on a ledge, I would always push them to their death.

Can honestly say I've never pushed anybody in QW, though I do regularly tk retards blocking shit.

Somebody needs to bring back goomba!

[whiteaden]

Somebody needs to bring back goomba!

agreed, but they'd have to introduce gibs aswel, cause the Strogg that goomba a GDF can use that corpse, while the GDF can't use the Strogg corpse...

there should be a counter-goomba though, if someone'd try to jump on you and you'd hit them with your knife/spike, they should die :D

Thought it would be funny to rehash this debate.

or maybe this is a better way to it:

I was standing in a doorway planting a mine and got grilled. More funny than anything else, but still- I did get rage-TK'ed a la shotgun for standing in a doorway

It’s a game….

But it’s a game with a built in ranking system that encourages people to improve.

And the forum you are reading this thread on is “Tips, Tricks and Strategies”.

And part of the fun of competing is winning or at least moments where you feel like you are succeeding.

And winning the game relies on a team working together and collectively performing better than the other team.

And, this was not written in response to your mining a doorway, but to a kind of lack of situational awareness made especially poignant (and frequently so) when someone stops in a doorway and starts a firefight effectively preventing their teammates from coming to their aid.

So……

Don’t stand in the doorway!

By the way, you can set a mine on the door sill, and then step out of the way to arm it effectively letting the wall shield you while you plant, and allowing others to go through the door freely.

id still kill a mining doorway blocker. I think i kill them more than anybody else in such a case (because no one else blocks so much);
you wanna mine a doorway? approach it from the side; there is not one doorway in the game that cant be mined without you blocking it, that i know of.
