Personally, I think it's better to have no kills but a ton of credits than a ton of kills and no credits. Assists go further in team games; many an ass has been saved by my intervention with my trusty ol' lasgun, and many times have I had that favor returned.

definitely, a lot of games i might have 5 kills but have done as much damage as anyone in the top 5 (although i do build a lot, so you get a lot of free cred standing around improving the base...)

Aww cmon guys we all know that OMG T3H HUMMIES R 4L\/\/4Y5 B13|\| PWNT!
I propose 1.2 includes a lucifer cannon with a built in battery pack, the speed of a las gun and the accuracy of a mass driver, oh yeah and we need to get rid of the overcharged effect, ITS SOOOOOOOO UNFAIR!!!!!.

And incase it tips the balance for the humans we make a new alien class, the battle granger with 10000 hp, but no build ability or attack. but it can still make those sm3xy soundz!

Chaingun is a fking awesum weapon, and humans are NOT TO WEAK.

If ya fucking work in a team and actually do stuff as a team you can mow down a goon in like 2 seconds, as opposed to aliens, all they do when they team up is block each other which starts a flamewar between aliens about blocking and then you can own them and they start raging about type killing.

No offense, but Player1 is right, teamwork is EVERYTHING
I fight alone all the time.

But he is right about the teamwork Anger.  You go out and do the killing while I order those drinks with the little umbrellas in them.  See?  Perfect teamwork.    ;)

Chainguns are used constantly in scrim. If they are used in competition, then it is highly doubtful that they are useless.

I like the granger idea. It'd get mistaken for a normal battlegranger and humans would chase it down, leaving their base unguarded.

Hawt.

with 10k hp i would just stand in their base till im down to about 500, maybe 2 of them could distract all the teslas and rets and then a rant or 2 could move in for demolition...

And meanwhile, I even found out which use a chaingun has:

It is a formidable way to encounter "base killers", i.e. dragoons and tyrants when combined with a battle suit.

If you look at its characteristics, you will realize that this one is capable of doing a damage of 1800 (!) healthpoints per clip, deploying this with a rate of 75hp of damage per second. So if you manage to chase an even fully healthy tyrant for a bit more than five secons, it will be a dead tyrant. Save your stamina for this!

If you manage to corner a tyrant and it cannot kill you instantly whyever, it will be dead. Even if you do not corner it but it gets stuck because another alien or a human is in the way, it will fall aswell.

Meanwhile, the zybork in the chainsuit has fended of and killed many attacking big bugs, increasing human base safety. So if you are afraid in the night and feel insecure, get a man in the chainsuit guarding your home, and all will be well ;)

PS: In any other case (=no battle suit), the chaingun is almost - useless.

I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

I've used the chaingun many times before without a Battlesuit. In a HS2 versus AS3 situation, the helmet+chaingun combo only means you can take 2/3 of the mauling from a tyrant before you die. Not that big of a difference if you consider a tyrant can kill a bsuit in 3 hits. Also, any tyrant can easily retreat after being hit with the first charged luci blast, while you can chase down any tyrant or goon with the chaingun plus sprint button.

The best 2 weapons in the game naturally are the Blaster and the Painsaw, since they let you kill Aliens for as long as your health allows you to, not as long as your amount of ammunition allows you to. And that for a fraction of the cost.

:lol: the Trem devs should be evil and make the Pain Saw operation be tied to the RC like the JetPack is.. I mean, the power has to come from somewhere, right?  Or is it a mini-RC powered weapon?  hehe

but you are right that in ffa games theese tools can provide a huge advantage of surprise.

Yes this happens to me all the time when I go out alone I don't get that many kills but I hurt alot of bugs
<sarcasm>
and yes team work is everything:
1.  :marauder: jumps on  :reactor:
2. in team chat: "RC MARA!!!!"
3. 4 fully charged lucis to the  :reactor:
4. KABLOOEY!!!
5. in chat: "MUAHAHAHA newb luciers!"
perrrrfect teamwork  :P
