psychological warfare


(NthLegion) #1

There are some weapons/abilities I like more their psychological effects on the enemy than their intended uses.

sticky bomb - hardly ever get a kill with this, but the spinning red circle is really distracting

ez-nade - already a good weapon, but the effect of seeing all those grenade icons flying in is a nice bonus

uav - when enemies hear it getting closer, they start spinning around trying to find it

What do you use to mess with the other team’s heads?

Being on the other team … cough

Na srsly falling in their back over and over again makes them usually a bit nervous :slight_smile:

a headshot.

Satchel charges used to mess with peoples head…but now I think they mostly ignore them. If the soldier doesn’t have a visual on the area, its pretty hard for him to time it right.

Diguising and then spotting for my team. When they hear they have been spotted, everyone just starts shooting eachother!

Good stuff. Throwing sticky definitely causes panic on the enemy. I have a headache from playing too much last night. I got blown up too many times by Solarcrest and his frick’n UAV toys. :frowning:

Me as a heavy with a Chinzor. After cleaning out a couple of rooms full of hostiles, they usually start to run when they see me.

It is tricky, but if you place them somewhere close to somewhere that gives a warning then it’s easier. “They’re stealing our command post! Stop th…” boom for example :slight_smile:

Yesterdays game-

“STICKY IS ON ME! TAKE IT OFF!”

I run up into the room expecting help

They ignore me.

Quad kill feed.

Last nights game: Neph throws sticky at me in Founder’s Tower spawn (jerk :mad:) and a teammate comes up behind me, so I turn to have him take the sticky off me but he won’t. I blocked his way in frustration (jerk move) and the sticky blew up and killed us both. I didn’t feel guilty about that.:smiley:

Just tell them why that happend… Rarely happen twice with the same guy^^


(Jess Alon) #13

putting 3 satchel charges right outside an enemy’s spawn and satchel camping them when they run out. Once killed 6 guys at once as they all flooded out together and mopped up with my underslung grenade launcher.

You do something like that twice and people start to rage quit.

I love chasing people with the Uav over spikes i put down behind them lmao it never fails…They see the Uav and start running not wanting to get blown up when in reality i have no plans of exploding until they are at half health…muahahahaha


(RabidAnubis) #15

People RUN from UAVs? Wow. That’s new.


(ZionDelhamorte) #16

…What is your problem???


(RabidAnubis) #17

I HAZ BRAIN TUMOR!

I just have never seen anyone run from a UAV before… what system are you on?

(Sounds hilarious by the way.)


(FireWorks) #18

You would expect people to shoot it… :smiley:

How much damage does it take anyway? Anybody got solid data? 90 like the nade?

Ps3…Most of the ops on ps3 just spam the uav and end up with 1000 at the end of the match at the most…So people start seeing the uav’s and think they are gonna just spam them for suicide bombs but its funny watching them run from one trying to shoot it down… I dont spam them anymore since i found out how to use them right…

I use the enemy’s Combat Intuition to screw with them. Just point at an enemy who’s near the objective for a couple seconds and they usually jump back and start looking around. If your well hidden or especially if you are using Downed Fire and just aim away from them when they start looking around they usually don’t notice you.

You can really make people paranoid doing that over and over. Hee hee. Rubs hands together like a mad scientist.
