flubbernugget Posted April 16, 2011 When I make multi-player maps, they tend to be very small and cramped with a lot of small corridors. This probably fills the niche of the SSG too well, making it very overpowered if it ever ends up in my map. So, since distance all to often cannot be used to counter the SSG in this scenario, how can it's other vulnerabilities(like the low rate of fire) be exploited in a DeathMatch? When you DeathMatch, what tactics do use (other than distance) to counter an opponent with the SSG? Are there any ideas on how to implement any SSG vulnerabilities into a map design that helps keep the make the SSG less effective in close corridors? Is this even possible? 0 Share this post Link to post
Megamur Posted April 16, 2011 The best counter is to shoot before the other guy does. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted April 16, 2011 My preferred method of countering the SSG: quitting the game. Yeah, I'm a rage-quitter, but it certainly is better than having to buy a new keyboard. 0 Share this post Link to post

Besides I just ignore the eleven year olds and focus on killing stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post

Marcaek Posted April 17, 2011 Vulture said:yes http://youtu.be/OBWsswsWL5E jesus that's the most annoying video i've ever seen Online Doom is fine as long as you ignore the morons. There's plenty of decent people playing and good servers up. If you're not too good, just keep playing, learn what you're doing wrong and you'll get better :) 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted April 17, 2011 I'd argue that there aren't many good servers up. On the last 15 times I've refreshed the server list I found it near impossible to find coop or survival mode servers on skulltag that aren't running some stupid gameplay mod or weapon mod. Nobody is ever playing standard deathmatch or CTF either. I've given up on skulltag entirely and feel much more comfortable with odamex despite how few players it has. I'm rarely at home enough to play Doom online anyway though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megamur Posted April 17, 2011 I, too, am frustrated by weapon mods in online matches. I'd kill for an unadulterated, Co-op, limited lives run of Icarus or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted April 18, 2011 I tried playing online a few times, but my ping was 200+ so I didn't play long, in the short time I did play though the other players were fine. Marcaek said:jesus that's the most annoying video i've ever seen +1 0 Share this post Link to post

Competitive(read: PvP; not exclusively competitive as in tournaments and such)? Only if you're running with a good team and/or annihilating bad players. 0 Share this post Link to post
