Just a demo

Like the topic says, just a demo of a pickup today. Feel free to comment/criticise if you like, this is posted for the off chance that people still like to watch demos from other people

And yes, I know, I'm way too attached to my railgun

You need q3wcp9 aka Spider Crossings (and OSP/CPMA obviously) to view it.

Any particular reason you're not grabbing the armors? Saving them for the flagrunners? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm mostly a (CPMA) duelist.

It's very distracting to go and get them, I lose sight of the mid for a couple of seconds, which I'm supposed to be holding. During that time it's easy for 2-3 enemies to get in, making me run back and help our flag defender, and thusforth letting the enemy offence just pour in cause I can't easily go back to holding mid again - I have to help our flagdef.

Besides, mid is rail heaven and there's not enough armor to save me from a second rail hit anyway usually. The red armor in our base is reserved for our flagdef, as is the mega health.

Ah, that makes sense. You are indeed quite the rail slut btw

Off-topic: I never understood why OSP is so rail campy when compared to CPMA. The 'rail damage divided by spawn health' ratio is the same: 100 / 125 for VQ3, 80 / 100 for CPMA. The only reason I can think of is that health counts down to 100 in VQ3, making for a 1:1 ratio (instakill). Still, the LG should be a good hitscan alternative: high 'rate of fire / damage per hit' ratio and you can afford to miss a shot as opposed to the RG with its 1500 ms reload time. But it's hardly used online except by those ultra-LPB, Swedish bastards.

God, I'm rambling...

Different movement mostly. It's way more viable in OSP to spam a rail around the corner, cause your opponent isn't going to be flying across the map. Plus it's easier to predict and hit with a rail this way.

nice rail camping, you should've seen a game i had today on wcp18

58.8% RG 186 hits out of 316 shots, 106 kills and ~20k dmg in a 20min game

Post by **Deji** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 8:58 pm

My record is around 67% rail on cp9 mid at over 200 shots done

Railwhore, I am

Half the pickup I frequent hates me for my cp9 mid action :P

<showoff>
I often have a 70-85% hit/miss ratio :P
</showoff>

DISCLAIMER: only in 1v1, with low ping and usually no more than 20 shots per game. But still...

BTW, was that the CPMA player woosh I saw back there?

Post by **Zyte** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:44 pm

yes, you love your rail (:

I never play ctf, but nice to see a demo from time to time.

Ugh, RG campers on mid is the thing i hate the most. especially on wcp9.

That was great deji, I enjoyed that demo. Never seen that map before either, even though I downloaded it ages ago.
Your rails are... amazing. Well I know that from our sparring, albeit I get the shitty ping

I was willing you to beat that other guy on just frags, you were so close. wp
