indeed...TDM, personally, is the best training ground for TAM...as sid said, you get put in all sorts of situations with all sorts of gunz...and you can learn to adapt very quickly...also, there is very little 'down time' in TDM, you can get more practice in, instead of dying, and having to wait for the next round to start, you can get a better flow and practice and be more confident in your gameplan...
personally, i go GOO first...im good enough with the lobs that it can take out a full strengeth player at round #1, and even if it is not full charge, it will do more damage then the LG shot...but its my choice...if ur a hitscanner, ace is right, an LG is a good choice...also, the nyce thing about goo is it sticks around a bit, and u can still get an opponent to step in it...the BAD thing is you can 2, or a teamate, if ur not careful
ace is also ryte, mixing up your weapons and routes is very good...being predictable is an easy way to die...esp if its the SAME gun in the SAME situation everytime...u will want to use a similar gun tho...sid is ryte that u want to use the correct type of gun for the situation...
also...pick your target...if u see or know someone got nailed early, go for the weak link...the exception for me is sid, i will always hunt him down on principal (predictable, i kno, so dont do that!! lol)
ace is also right...support fire best comes from angles, and crossfires, not from behind...hitscan use will minimize friendly fire, but is still risky...try to find a route around, or a good angle to help from
now, this is a personal preference, but i usually go alone...that means im one more thing for the opponent to have to pay attention 2, instead of 1 unit (few players traveling together)...now, its good and bad...if i get caught in a bad spot, or just plain outplayed, im toast...
traveling is a good way to mix it up...go down elevators, not just up...reverse your route every so often...and try to think one step ahead of your opponent, and possibly beat him to the move he is thinking about doing...
smart play will beat out rushing every day....however, rushing does have its advantages, and is good to do every so often to not fall into a pattern...esp if your are around that first corner before your opponent expects your to be...
rez is B B F F (back back forward forward), or as ace said, SSWW...no, you cant select who it is...its random, and if your are viewing gameplay through anothers eyes, there is a slight chance of the 'rez bug' where u get rezzed, and u are alive, but u are 'not in your body'...
every player matters, and dont consider yourself fodder...even with 1 health...your weapons still do the same damage as anyone else...and, as i said before, your another thing the opponent has to pay attention 2...
practice, and dont get discouraged!!...warm up in poarkie's slaughterhouse pre-game helps get u ready
and as for the goo? ive been throwing that crap for about 4 1/2 years...its all practice and no regard for the outcome!! LOL
and yes, its been awsome to have u back playing pro...your a gr8 player and a good personality with a good, fun sense of the game...makes it better for everyone
