Move Out!

Yup, an article on SWAT(Special Weapons and Tactics) while this post is more on the tactics part, special weapons are mentioned. So recently players have been asking me how I make some decisions, and how I decided to fight. Well basically it’s a tactical decision if I’m thinking. Sometimes I make dumb moves in order to get things done faster, which is more risky. So I spent a week calculating a point system for how I react to things.

 So I’ve devised a point system based on weapons and other things in the game, while excessive amounts of skill makes this system a bit offset, since some people can use certain weapons with immeasurable skill.

 I’ll give a brief explanation why each thing is measured at its value. Then I’ll explain the system and how it works.

One of the most powerful weapons in the game is the shotgun, learning to master this weapon is a must. While long range does exist most players try and engage in close range combat making the shotgun the key to victory in most cases. There are many things involved with mastery this weapon, I’ll try and make this guide a step-by-step mastery.

-Active reload Function -  20% increased damage to each pellet

-Amount of pellets per bullet- 8

-Effective Range about 15m

Execution

This game mode is simple, kill or be killed.

The rules are:

-You must finish your opponent with an execution(close range/Explosion)  1 life per round

Exceptions to the rules are shooting someone in the head while they’re down with the pistol or sniper. The pistol is far easier to shoot the head with. In execution the strategy is fairly simple go for the finish, damage them from a far then rush, or just rush. The only point in not rushing downed enemies is to lure opponents to the scene for extra kills. Luring can be very effective, but it’s a risk/reward kind of thing, it can go really well… or really bad.  After being downed twice, your third down is death, this keeps players from doing the two man rush and picking each other up rapidly. It also adds the feeling of weakness. Since most people think that their teammates will revive them, the three your out rule helps remind people they can be finished from a range.
