I've read some people say it gets boring quickly. Because of the overused SMG, because of the overused grav gun etc.. Many people are used to the basic wargame where you move around slowly and carefully, firing directly at others. It's only natural that players from non-DM games feel a little silly in the game.
Well, that's my theory anyway
I'm just reminding that the physics combined with the insane deathmatch pace give you a huge variety in spicing things up. To feel an awesome gaming experience (and frag well) you need to do something else than to run around with the weapons you have. Here's some tips:
-If the outdoor map's streets get packed with tiny annoying stuff, start tossing them up to the roof of the building. It makes moving in the torn up campingbuilding harder plus you get good laughs if someone dies from the stuff falling from the sky.
-When everyone seem to use the basic smg (and if you're annoyed by it), just take the grav gun and make some effective kills. People will start using the grav gun more when they feel the smg can't beat the grav gun (it's true!).
-In a gravgun fight, if the enemy has some object and you don't, and you feel like you're gonna be owned, take the last chance and wait for the enemy to launch it at you. Right after he has released the object, zap the object with your primary fire (you need to be super fast if he's close). This makes the object fly right directly back to the enemy's general direction and often makes hilarious kills.
-Aim for the head! Often in fights you get really up close to people and then shooting in the head is easy and makes a huuuge difference.
-Don't underestimate the power of explosive barrels. Remember that you can hold the grav guns secondary button while aiming at some distant object and the object starts to move towards you. You can get some extra "firepower" with this without actually going out into the open yourself (= not getting your own barrel shot when carrying it).
-Piling up stuff at doors and passages often makes funky kills when the people disassembling the pile don't notice the grenade you lobbed somewhere under the pile (the red light often gives it away though )
If you have invented some other cool techniques and tricks, post away!
