Marines And Ladders

ElectroKiwiMonkey

<div class="IPBDescription">Yes, you heard me right. Ladders.</div> It didn't take me very long to figure this out, but it's amazing how useful it sometimes is:

If you crouch while moving up or down a ladder, you cease to make any noise AND you still move at the same speed up or down as normal. This makes sneaking up on places like ns_nancy's Port Engine Room a lot easier. In fact, a few times I've been on a ladder crouched somewhere and two or three aliens have leapt right over me, rushing off to the other side of the map.

Now, seeing as I do this every time I hit a ladder (hell, I sometimes do it by accident as a Skulk and fall off <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> ), it'd be nice if the 2 or 3 marines right behind me most of the time weren't making enough noise to wake up half the alien team. Seriously, there are times when bunnyhopping is NOT the most useful way to get around a map (actually, is it useful at all now?).

To sum up: Crouching + Ladders = Win.

Oh. Well, I haven't seen any posts mentioning it (which may or may not be a comment on how much of Frontiersmen Strategy I read), so here it is again. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

thats been a feature of halflife since the day it came out, and i've always taken advantage of it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

also going up at an angle so u can move forward+strafe into the ladder increases the speed u go up

(like wall hugging but even faster)
