LOL Meat, endless subject !!!! Of course...
Just let me tell you some last things about that. Not to criticize what you say but I think there is no answer...

A map you know very well (one of your favs you often voted for) is a very good example : Sex Street.

Counterwise of what you just wrote, that one is NOT small but really good to play in run and gun mode.
And as I already said it depends of the number of players. You can hide and guide if there are few players on, trying to hide and guide themselves.
But if one (or some) good player is running/gunning, it's a really better way to show off and start to run and gun too !!! If HE IS GOOD, don't stay in or up to guide !!!

SO... IT DEPENDS...
EB uses to hide (not really hide) and guide, Darkmatter too (but sometimes not), they win sometimes...
YOU use to run and gun (like I myself do) and you win sometimes...

A noob try to hide and guide and... almost NEVER WINS !!!!
A noob with a few practice hours done, will try to run and gun and DON'T WIN cause he nukes himself more than the others do (and sometimes, if I'm not really concentrated on my "job" I DO explode myself more than anyone !!!

I think that what doesn't please you is when noobs, in small or medium maps, "run and hope" (like you're right to say) they happen to kill many people only because of the luck (even you and me and any good player).
I don't like that too much but it's a characteristic of our fav game so I think THAT IS a thing you don't like !!!! Am I right ?

And... I won't talk about that anymore... it's a real endless story...

MEAT wrote:It's like beating a dead horse....can't get ahead. And I know I sound like a broken record here. But what is the purpose of having a guided missle if you're not going to use it as one? We should call this sight Rocket Launcher Insanity because that's how we are using the redeemer. I just don't see the skill in the frantic, shoot in the air, run and gun technique. Oh sure on some of the maps, because of their small size, that is the only way to play and win. I know that and trust me I'll play that way because I have no choice. Hey, maybe that's the real issue here or the real issue only I seem to have is that some of the maps are to small for the redeemer? Or is it that some of you are clueless to the redeemer use as a weapon and you can only run and gun? But I still don't see the challenge or the fun to the run and gun.....just one mans opinion I guess....lol Send all complaints and death threats to meatless@bringtheredeemerback.com

Well just to keep things honest (LOL) the "primary" triger of the redeemer isn't "guided". The ALT fire is. I would the original authers put some thought into that order.
But what do I know. I'm just a stickin mouse that can't play in the first place LOL.

Damn LePoLoo I got tired again reading your reply...lol You're right, I'm not a fan of the frenchies and their run and spray technique. Also, it all depends on the map size and the amount of people playing that determines what technique is best used. And the true of the matter is I'm starting to run and gun more (can't believe I said it)...grr Actually I prefer to call it run to or away from the enemy, telefrag their azzes and gun at a target. It's those that fire into the air at nothing, hoping to hit someone, that I hate. No plan of attack....they just shoot in all direction.

When I was using my PII 300 and on 56K to play RA I was often reduced to shooting randomly hoping to hit something. There was no point in my trying to run and gun because the lag was so bad that I was clueless as to what was really happening, and would be killed quickly. And hiding was not usually an option either, because 1) the regs already knew all the possible hiding places and would lob a nuke there frequently, and 2) if it was any distance from my spawn point, I would never live long enough to get into the hiding spot in the first place.

You sound like you might be happier if some really extra large maps were included in the rotation. Those force players to hunt each other down either on foot or with the hide and guide technique. I think Herm is already running DM-Vocant. Another good big map is DM-Konosus][. So is Deck 32][. There were lots of huge maps on Schwantz's old server. Too bad it's not running any more. Maybe you would have liked those environments better.

You're right Bigger is Better!!! Well, at least that is what all my old girlfriends use to say. Hey, maybe that's why I'm not with them anymore?
Damn Biatches...lol

Hey Yall,

Would love to be part of the tourney. Alas my son has a halloween party at that time (1100 EST). I will keep my eyes out for the next one. Good luck to all of the combatants.

I hope the results will be posted.

These things are hard to plan for which is why I stay away from them. So, is it on tonight? Is everybody ready? Don't be late if you are supposed to play. That ruins it for everyone else eh. Later and good luck! Hey Meat, Iwill send your problem about logging in to the admin at Redeemer Insanity. So watch your email for a letter from N6NU or <SRA> Maximus ok? Great!

The server is up and rotating the maps that are going to run in the tourney. There is no password now, but in 3 hours when the tourney starts, the password will be SRA

Good luck and see you all there.

It's been fun but people weren't all there !!!??

Thx Bigi, Scifi, Mah (for a while) for the fun !!! That game is still creazy !

Did I miss it? I thought the Tournament was set for 8:00pm on the West Coast?

|3iGi · Post by **|3iGi** » Sat Oct 29, 2005 9:44 pm

naw, it was at 1200 noon west coast time...we figured you got the time wrong...anyways...

The tourney was fun, but turn out was low, so I didn't keep the scores.

It was mostly Lepo, Scifi and Myself playing most of the time, DarkM and Mah stopped in for a while before the tourney time but had to split....pebcak showed up and played a few rounds....

I think it was a pretty even match.

I plan to host another one next weekend....we can arrange a time. Thanks for the great matches guyz!

Big
