Title: Implants Vs Weapons
Post by: @gentOrange on December 29, 2003, 06:00:33 PM
I try to get the basic weapons first...shottie, tommy gun, maybe work up to rocket pistols. Then focus entirely on implants and production related upgrades (production speed, manufacturing costs, cloning, coffee). My reason in doing so is if the enemy is focusing on weapons we are faster and stronger with our basic guns, killing them and stealing their "experimental devices" Then once I collect 2 of a device I vote for that and then continue with the implants.

Usually in larger games, especially ones where there are less regulars on my team, I have no say in what upgrades to get and they mass weapons. They won't even listen to me when I say "Get the radio", in order to get rocket pistols, but they freak like "OMG ur such a nub shut up your face already radioz suk".

In smaller games, 1v1 or 2v2 that I've been in a few times, I like to go Armor, Armor, Shotgun, then other upgrades. I try to get leg implants and the super jump as soon as I can, but I also focus on some of the important things like coffee strength and advanced cloning (which nobody will ever get, even when I try to explaini its benefits).

I've always tended towards armor/implants/weapons in that order.

The hot thing to do right now is rush Rocket pistols because they're so low in the tech tree. Shotgun--->Nade--->Radio---->Xbow----RP

Actually, you don't have to get the crossbow first. You just need Shotgun, then Frag Nades>>Radio>>RocketPistol.

I think I helped in the spreading of this rocket pistol rushing, at least somewhat on the LM servers. I was looking at the tech tree on the site, and I realized how simple it is to get them, so the next few games I explained it to people and they're like "Woah, thats easy.*Run around spamming rockets* Man, this is kickass! We should do this more!".

Shotgun -> Armor -> Implants -> Weapons.

Shotguns are just good at any level.

Assault Shotgun -> Implants -> Weapons (halfway) -> Armor -> Weapons (rest of the way)

I agree with Smoke Nova, shotguns are good at any level, and they blow the pants off of the pistol, which is why i try for it first.

One thing I really dislike about the armor upgrades is they make the speed upgrades null. I'd much rather be able to run faster with a sci than be able to take a few extra shots.

No! That's Robert Nesta Marley AKA Bob Marley.

I think a pic of me passed out in the bathroom with my friend is circulating around somewhere now though...If I can get a hold of it I'll show you what I look like after an 11 year old has been mixing me gin and tonics all night.

This is where I'd normally share stories of me embarrassing myself through alcohol. As your admin, though, I have a reputation of almightyness to uphold. :p
