S.L.A.M Etiquette Subject description: Acceptable usage? |
|
I'm going to start using slams to take advantage of the chaos in a killbox (and to get people to think twice before they stand in the corners frequently used for camping ), but I don't want to piss people off too much. My questions to you all are, what level of slam usage do you all consider to be in bad taste? Should usage be varied based on the skill level of the opponents (lower usage with less skilled players, as they are more likely to fall victim to slams)? What do you folks consider to be cheap placement of slams (as an example, distance from spawnpoints)? I want to take advantage of this weapon, but I don't want to be a total bastard while doing so !

Hey man the idea of the game is to kill your opponants lol .So if they are daft enough to walk through them then thats there prob, they will learn like the rest of us had to, by dying alot . But mining spawn sites is not good play in my opinion.

Copy and paste fron an old post about it:
Quote: |
Few SLAM is fun and funny, but SLAM everywhere just slow down the action (because we saw them and need to destroy them), are annoying and break the fun. |

I have me some deliciously diabolical destructive designs brewing in my coconut. I shall attempt to revolutionize the art of slamming (much the way Sideshow Bob revolutionized the way people get hit by pies ). Don't be surprised if slams start raining down from the heavens .

<3 SLAM |
|
Hi, I just registered. I love the SLAM, and I don't care how much of a douchebag other people peg me for because of it. I just got the daily award for it yesterday
in general, I SLAM:
under barrels
behind physics items near walls
under the propeller when it's facing upright
on ladders
In the killbox maps in particular, :
in the rectangular one:
to orient myself, I spray on the inner wall of the room on the side of the SLAMS and on the main wall on the side of the SLAMS
the doors, obviously
behind the tanks on the walls
around the bottom of the stairs on the top of the inner room
inside the hole on the roof, but not often because I go through there
around the corners of the outside of the inner room
under the big charger
in the domebox:
at the edges of the ramps on the top
on the toilet by the ladder
behind explosive barrels
on the top of the holes the small lifters go through
on the corners of the walls around the orb machine
in the donutbox:
I honestly don't really have good results with the slam in here. I spray to orient myself toward it and then try to slam physics objects and around the glass windows that haven't been broken yet.
Anyway. I have an unhealthy addiction to the game that is getting in the way of my class work.

Heres a trick..
If your low heatl, like under 10hp, and if you have slams, trow a slam on the floor, and pick it up with the gravity gun, then go to a place where ppl kill and die alot, and when you get near enought, and if they kill you BAM! they die with you! of course.. this'll only work if your stupid enought to believe that there are slams in lockdown

To be honest whatever amount of Slams i find accpetable, espcially in a killbox, you will rarely be owning the same player with Slams in a killbox. A good example of Slam whoring is Powerhouse, you can mine every door way in that level. I find SLAMs ok because you can spot them if you have a good eye and just avoid them alltogether (or make them go Kab00m, or wait for a player to see you then make them run into them while they chase you lol), unlike the RPG where your pretty much a sitting duck no matter what you do!

Hehe Killa - I guessed who you were talking about before I opened the link.
I call him spider. Although he's a slam addict, we've seen him use other weapons very effectively - a good player.

its like his goal is not to kill but plant as many slams as possible
he is so used to being shot when planting slams he simply ignores anyone.

I think I'll start by trying to catch get those sticking monkeys otherwise known as Davros and Diet, but I think Osi would have a fit if I started slamming the forums .

Personally i think the slams in the killbox map spoil the flow of the play, escially when placed in the door ways in the box. But saying that a slam placed in a corner or hidden behind a barrel usually gets a smile from me, followed by you Bas....

Hmm. Not that I have any strong feelings about them or anything but IMHO...
Slams are evil. They are of the Devil and are the tools of unholiness. Slammers are the spawn of Satan. They are the wretched tortured souls of the feckless and slothful. They will never see the light. They must be shunned and outcast from our community lest their filth infect us all. As our Lord and Master hath said, "Woe to those who have slammed, for ye are damned".

Hehe Diet,
you should play a Round with Elf at Steamlab.
He knows to hide S.L.A.M.S. at Places noone would ever imagine one installed. He manages to win the Map without using anything else then this little evil thingys.
Give him 3 Minutes to prepare and there wont be an Objekt anymore that isnt a Deathtrap.
