This is definitely where I need to improve my game. It's all about the movement, I think. Players who are good at that side to side zig zag stuff really have an advantage over me, especially if they can aim while they are doing it. It's a little embarrasing to toss five physics objects at a guy and miss with every one of them while he plinks me to death with the SMG. Advice? Any drills I could do to improve my movement? I can strafe jump a little but can't really bunny hop.

I only truly learned how to do the bunny hop on 600 grav servers.

also .. the key is not to push forward after jumping and to hold crouch the whole time.

I didn't get these concepts for a while even with the videos and stuff.

and it really does not come over night. LOL.. i think i learned how to bunny hop over a month of slowly adding some hops during games here and there.

You should take a look at the tutorials section. There are some nice videos about the topic.. After that, practice and practice and practice. It takes some time to learn how it is, even though the vids have good explanations, it's like you read them but don't do them, and you just don't understand why you can't get those high speeds if you are doing "everything okay !", at least that was my case hehehe.
Good luck with it !

You can prevent close combat, like I do, with the magnum. I suck at close combat too, but in an open wide map, I make it as hard as possible for my targets to reach me.

in any fps i practice this by doing cirles around a pillar while firing at it to get use the movement and phyics of the game. when fighting a smg or ar2 see how long you can keep the fire off you, sometimes i can get away from 2 full clips of ar2 fire. Couple round to 1000 on dm_deathbox will get you grav gun down. :O

It really depends who you are playing. In a pub full of randoms you can keep spray off you by using a prop a shield. Versus good players this will usually just obscure your view and cause you to eat secondary spam. Smaller less visible props tend to do better in matches.

My advice: gathering and having the correct weapon available. Try to conserve at least 2 clips of shotgun ammo and 1 orb for those in your face moments.

ctrl + alt + shift + C is the shortcut for cockslap which does 150 dmg.

well if they're just zig zagging all day long with a magnum and you aren't dead yet and have no weapons, just make a distraction and run away - why die when you dont need to!

there's no real good tip to being good at close quarters combat as this game is soo dynamic that you just need to be able to change depending on the situation

i agree with the fleeing all tho its kinda cowardly there is no point in dieing i would Grav Gun a sink or barrel at them and run.

I don't consider fleeing as something of "cowards", IMO, that's playing intelligently. What's the point in fighting someone with more hp and better weapons, when you are weak and don't have anything useful? Just run, charge yourself quickly, and finish the bastard off =D.

i think it has something to do with their connection being really really crappy or something. maybe choke and loss has to do with this. (they have choke/loss)

I'm glad i'm not the only one. I used to complain about this back in jan/feb and no one knew what i meant.

Suicide that takes out your opponent is a valid option if you're significantly worse off than him/her when it comes to either of health, suit or weaponry. Upon respawn you should be returned to the anecdotal level playingfield. :-p
