[quote name='lilboo']Hmm. My copy just came today and I didn't play it yet--what's that mean so I can have a headstart?
And also, to the person (i think above) said that it's not about a deathmatch soley--again, what's the main-main purpose of this? Again, I'd like to get a headstart of knowing what I should go into expecting
Thanks![/quote]
Ok, Rez is for "resurrection" and Tree is for healing. You don’t die and re-spawn somewhere; the only way to come back into the game is if a teammate has res to get you up and running again.
Tree will heal you, your teammates and enemies as well. It’s important to put trees where it will be useful for your team and not for the enemy
.
Most people do not get Res and/or tree at any point of the game. This can hurt the outcome of the match a great deal. I have yet to see the guy that didn’t buy res and tree and pull a Rambo. Usually he is screwed within seconds, no matter how good he/she is.
Lesson #1
- Play with all the races and find the one you like best. Usually go for something that helps your style of playing. For example, I am the one that runs for the artifact, heals and res. My kills are ok, but im not going to get many of them. So, I pick and Elf for race (they are faster and they self heal) then buy Res, tree, Teleport and SMG. Teleport will get me faster to the falling teammate. If I get hurt, Ill teleport my self-out and self heal or drop a tree. See how that works?
Lesson #2
- Don’t go all Halo on us and think this is an Army of one (like in halo...a sniper guy can finish the team by him self while the rest of us just sit there watching him get kills). You wont be able to finish them all if you try too. You need your teammates and as important is to get kills, is even more important to back up your teammates, make sure there health is ok and they are alive.
What can you expect of the game? Well, is addicting and just tons of fun. Even though they are 3 types of games and huge maps (and some small ones for a total of 9) you can win any match 2 ways:
1) Steal the artifact and take it to their home base
2) Kill them all.
Stealing the artifact is ALWAYS a good idea since it will give you more money. One of the game types, the artifact wills aloud you to know where your enemy is, but you don’t have to take it any ways. When those types of games appear, grab the artifact and push de D-pad up and will tell your teammates what you are seeing...which is the exact location of those Lineage/RNA bastards! *Shakes fist in anger*
I hope that get you started.
PS: the D-pad is really useful.
D-pad up: Tells your teammates what you are looking at and the location (3 trolls, 1 human, 1 elf, etc)
D-Pad left: Request for back up and gives location.
D-pad right: Tells your teammates to move to an specific location.
D-pad up WHEN DEAD: Tells your teammates that you need a Rez and the location of your lifeless corp
