If you are on a killing spree... you will run out of ammo, have to resort to stabbing people to death, and all their corpses will decay instantly, not letting you get more ammo. You will curse, cry, and then be run over by a tank.
Fuckin' tanks 
When you're low on health and need to pour bullets into something...
a. your weapon jams
b. you need to reload
c. you completely run out of ammo
Your first attempt to cook a grenade results in you holding it too long.
Your next attempt at cooking a grenade results in the damn thing bouncing back at you!

But that's the best part of being on killing spree.
Getting people to flip the fuck out because you managed to stab their ass to death while they tried to cap you in the face with an automatic weapon.
I miss the days of EC ET.
Anyway, in multiplayer, if there is a static spot where medkits spawn, you're better off staying away from it. As soon as you pick it up, expect a few rockets to the face. You'll either be lower on health than you were before you grabbed the medkit, or respawn in a few seconds.

I tried to mellow out on that, but ho man, thos early days I'd get worked up over nothing. Heh.
Knife tickle-fights and the custom maps (The one where allies have to blow up the rocket was awesome, and the gold stealing one) were fun as hell.

Murphy's Law- If something bad can happen, it will. (just modifying some of the rules that are posted already)
-Your weapons will fail you when you need them the most.
-You'll pull the pin on your grenade, but forget to throw it.
-You will lose that big bad weapon you just picked up... to a knife wielding maniac
-You will hop into a vehicle.... just as a rocket hits it.
-Just as you're about to snipe your target, you fall to a sniper's bullet
-If you don't get killed by anyone else for a long while, that means everyone else has left the game.
-If you go in as covert ops and disguised as the enemy, you will end up falling to your teammate's guns (sorry to the countless teammates I've killed in Halflife:Firearms and ET)

Nah, IMO it should stay gone.
Why? People will play on it for a week or two, then like all EC fads, stop playing on it.
I'm not sure why it always works out that way, but everytime an EC ET server was put up, people stopped playing on it after a couple of weeks.
Then again though, it did always start up some of the funnier flame wars here on the forums. 
Edit: Oh, and instead of "Right before you snipe your target, you get sniped yourself" that should be more like "Don't snipe at the top of a hill, some fucker will come along and push you off of it." Willias fucked around with this message on 07-18-2006 at 04:39 PM.

Yeah, I have better chances of killing someone through colliding with them on an ATV than a Mag now, unless they've taken damage and haven't healed up.
All other tanks trump the Mag Rider in everything except the whole going over water dealio.
Both Vanguard and Prowler have more armor and fire power, they buffed Anti Vehicular damage for no reason a few patches ago, so about 5-6 Striker/Pheonix shots and a Mag is done for, where as the Vanguard can take around 9-10. It only has slightly better armor than the Lightning, but the Lightning has superior manuevering. Hell, Lightning, Prowler, and Vanguard can also go from forward acceleration to reverse much better than the Mag Rider.
Not to mention, since Lightning, Prowler, and Vanguard have chainguns, they actually can take down BFRs incredibly fast compared to a Mag Rider. Anti Infantry weaponry goes through the shields causing structural damage, where as the Particle Cannon and Rail Gun can't. Strangely, like the Pulsar, the Particle Cannon is counted as anti infantry. The Pulsar can't penetrate shields unless in AP mode. But the Particle Cannon doesn't have an AP mode. It's lose.

You're retarded. Why the fuck would you ever reverse in a Mag? Hell, why the fuck would you do it in a Van? KEEP MOVING FORWARD. The only time you reverse is maybe in a standoff if you just need to back up a few feet, or in a friendly courtyard. You've got 0 turning radius anyway, just spin and hit the gas.
Neither the Vanguard nor the Prowler chainguns go through BFRs shields--the cap for that is 12mm (meaning Harasser, Marauder, and Lighting chainguns) and Turrets. Vanguard has a 20mm chaingun which alternates between barrels making it hard as fuck to aim with, and the Prowler 15mm does the same (although I think the ROF is higher, making it a little easier to use). All small arms penetrate BFR shields--this includes the Pulsar on both modes.
The PPA is a piece of shit. Stop using it. You're driving. That thing is a peashooter meant to assist on vehicles you're chasing down, but otherwise, you should probably not be pointed at the enemy anyway.
The Magrider, when crewed with decent players, will only die to a Prowler if it gets caught with its pants down and only die to a Vanguard if the vanny gunner is exceptional. Additionally, the tank can fucking strafe, and the gun is direct fire, making it incredibly easy to use effectively. It's got the best AA out of the three MBTs (your gunner should be able to hit Reavers on the wing--if he can't, he sucks), and last time I ran one, it's a goddamn killer against Flight BFRs as well.
What it sounds like is you're wanting to use the Magrider like you're seeing the NC and TR use their tanks. Stop that. It's an entirely different vehicle that needs to be handled more as a mobile AV sniping platform than anything. It's the most effective tank at distance, and has the speed to stay at a distance. Yea, Phoenixes are a bitch, and there ain't much you can do about them except retreat out of range, repair, and then follow the dots on your minimap to the AMS.
p.s. they're still fagriders. Alidane fucked around with this message on 07-20-2006 at 02:56 AM.
