        it isnt just about radar though. - tRuMaN Jun 6, 09:31 1
        
        Right, that's what I mean. If you pay attention, you can see when a teammate is being shot as well as the direction needed to assist. - David Jun 6, 09:36
        
        oh, I love my radar. - groiny Jun 6, 09:23 2

        well, a perfect example is any CTF, Bomb, etc... game. - groiny Jun 6, 09:13 12

        Right, the shotgun and sword should be reserved for players using sprint. They're almost unstoppable. - David Jun 6, 09:33 1
        
        On some maps, invisible sword can be better. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 09:39
        
        ah, I knew I was forgetting one. I always forget about armor lock. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 09:24 1
        
        I prefer the games where it is not available. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 09:27
        
        i have been switching a lot - tRuMaN Jun 6, 09:18
        
        I am sure that is a good part of it. - groiny Jun 6, 08:58 2
        
        Yeah, I know I am inconsistant. I do not addapt. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 09:01 1
        
        *nods* and I do, most of the time. - tRuMaN Jun 6, 09:02

  - *snort* -- nm - Stephen Jun 6, 09:23
- it's like describing him as a pound or two overweight....nm - x Jun 6, 09:02
