Strafing. I have been defeated by the dinkiest shitfits because the guy i'm shooting at is a strafing god. I mean some of these guys are strafing so fast they are leaving afterimages. I have literally fought the same person 5 times in a row b4 because he was camping the spawn point and i just wanted to kill him no matter how long it took. I would respawn and run to where he is and we would have a straight up gun fight each time. I start shooting and he (being in his gal assault suit) breaks the sound barrier going side to side while landing every bullet and i look like a panicked expendable soldier from an Alien movie shooting into the dark. I never killed him. I only kept getting his hp a bit lower each time and eventually the match ended.

I have been a heavy in a tiny ass hallway shooting at a caldari or gallente scout with an hmg and they warp through my bullets making me look the fool laying dead in the hallway. The one match that i could not get over was a guy in a militia MEDIUM gallente fit with a MILITIA scrambler PISTOL. He had obviously been trained by the strafing monks of old because i was in my adv cal scout suit and he was out strafing me while landing EVERY shot from his garbage pistol. He did this 3 times in a row to me and it drove me to the edge of madness.

I won't even mention some of the strafing heavies i have encounter but yea, if you see me in game you now know my weakness. Just strafe a bit and my character will probably just explode. I'm gonna go practice strafing until i can down a tank with a militia AR.

This should be in the games tutorial as step #1 the most important lesson for dust 514. Don't even worry about fighting all proto teams just master this and you will be fine.

Grease Spillett research lab 430	Posted - 2014.08.17 17:15:00 - [6] - Quote I actually love this thread thanks for posting it. I will admit to being a strafe master. I have another interesting trick and rewarding way to do things. I intentionally run inferior gear, unless i'm forging GASTUNS BABY!, but I have lulled many proto suits to their demise because of it. They take a look at me and say oh its just and advanced/standard suit he's a noob the lazy ass gunfight that ensues screws them. They are now in my pocket after thinking I'm a newberry and bam 1 proto suit down. Frustrated they come back with a bit more intensity but I know you want revenge you pompous sad person... I make you sit down again and again until finally you relent. Man it is beautiful this dance of death. SO Beautiful... Next time you see me, bring more friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBM5hM5LdDw

OliX PRZESMIEWCA Bezimienni... Dark Taboo 171	Posted - 2014.08.17 20:20:00 - [17] - Quote @Metapod Use Harden With HMG try to push left stick left to right only a little bit. Don't push stick till it touch DS3's plastic cover. Don't strafe with iron sight. Do it without zoom. Try to keep crosshair on height of somebody's shoulders. Practice it. Eventually plug keyboard and setup strafe buttons and use your legs to keep strafing Remember, don't use left stick while using KB Sometimes when I run HMG, my opponent with same gun die just after he take my shield down (on adv amarr). Like I said before practice it. Don't worry about aim vs scouts. If they jump around it take same amount of ammo to take him down like for few assaults or logis.

Another use of strafing in that video is at 0:47 where he's not strafing to avoid fire, but using small left/right movements to keep the reticule over the target (NOT the right stick, which causes large, sweeping motions). Console controllers are terrible for precise aiming on a constantly shifting target, this is exactly what you need to do to compensate for that. Great vid, thanks ReGyNum Ghosts of Dawn // now recruiting.

Mainly because it looks ridiculous and is super unrealistic. Ghosts of Dawn // now recruiting.
