Quite.

Try using the lightning gun in Q3 - wo - all over the shop.  It's shit.
Shotgun? Shoot 5 ft in front to hit anyone.

UT however, the plasma beems is STRAIGHT and hits.  The chain gun is
accurate. The only weapon that suffers is the Shock Rifle.

How do you use the shock rifle? Hang on... do you mean the AMSD or the
crappy thing you get when all other weapons are used up? That's the one I'd
like to know how to use.

The best way to use the AMSD is to use secondary fire, then hit the ball
with primary fire. The crappy first weapon is best used by holding down the
primary button and charging it up. Then just physically touch an opponent
and they shred immediately. I'm not even sure if the secondary fire inflicts
damage, or whether it just pushes the opponent away.

I've been having some probs with UK net servers, Dabs isn't running as
well as it should and it's always packed solid anyway :(
   Try it out on Wireplays servers and you'll see a big diff, I suspect
the servers that are running it aren't as good as they should be...

Well I gonna try this later , I do hope its the servers, coz it has the
makings of a good game - I do like the single player bots, Try duelling a
GOD-LIKE - Jeez

   (Still prefer the 'solidity' of Q2 tho)

I know this one, yeah... Instagib is great...

I'll try that then.

You're talking about the Impact Hammer. Here's a post (from CliffyB no
less) I found on http://forums.gtgames.com/ that explains how to use it:

*****************************************************************************
Okay, I go onto a lot of servers and I see people not knowing how to use
this gun. It is covered in the tutorial that ships with UT, which we did
not include in the demo, so you get to hear it straight from me on how
to use it.

1. Press fire.
2. Hold fire. (KEEP IT HELD! NEVER LET GO!)
3. Walk up to and touch someone.
4. POP!

There.

Now, the alt fire can deflect projectiles, but it is extremely hard to
do. If you're starting off I'd suggest using the regular fire for
offense.

You can charge the regular fire of the hammer and look down, release,
and jump to get a nice impact jump. This is how you get the Damage Amp
in Turbine.
*****************************************************************************

Good advice, although I use the secondary fire for impact jumps, as it
seems to cause less damage. Oh, and BTW, the ASMD is now known as the
Shock Rifle.

HTH,

Hehe, I guess I just suck then, cause I still can't seem to get a frag with the
damned thing. :-) I found it to be quite handy for boosting jumps, though, so
much so that it's all I use now (that is, if the translocator isn't available).

I'm afraid they may have to tone it down, at some point. I win matches 
using it exclusively. Its the *only* weapon I can win matches with, with 
any regularity. And I figure that if *I* can win with it, then something 
must be terribly wrong.

And besides that, I think it just hasnt caught on, yet. I'm afraid that 
when it does, we'll see everyone running around, trying to pummel 
eachother with it, and I think that would totally detract from the game 
play. Its fine when a few people use it, on and off, but if too many 
people start using it all the time, it will get rediculous.

btw, part of why it works so well- it will go off, as soon as your touch 
your opponent *server side*, whether you can see that you're close enough 
or not, client side. So very little LPB advantage. You barely even need 
good reflexes, just enough to make sure you face the right direction.

And it does enough damage to kill a freshly spawned player in one hit, so 
at over 100 pts, I think it may be a bit overpowered, to be a default 
weapon. I'd suggest maybe the damage being reduced to about 60 pts or so, 
and put a more powerful version of it in the game, as a pickup...

100-200!!
Blimey thats luxury!!
8-)

I've connected to the States via my 56k and had a 350-400 ping and
found it perfectly playable......just have to lead with your shot's
more.

Another solution might be to lower you rnetspeed to reduce packet
loss.

Bring down the console and type:

netspeed xxxx

Where xxxx is the variable.
Try reducing it at 100 unit intervals.
