Argh, flashbacks of scmode! Or worse, thankfully going to build a well-placed turret only to have it jump up and bite your face off.
Armoury humping... urgh, in public! People screaming and whining and leaping over the poor thing, ignoring the badasses firing acid about in the hope of getting some action!
As for me, I prefer being underneath... admittedly it weighed a few hundred pounds and crushed my internal organs, but at least it avoids having to use it so often. As by the time you free yourself a Fade has arrived to carry out its favourite hobby of intestine arranging.
ok I know this is REALLY in desperate cases, but I recycle that damn armory when these people hump too much. I say go thru the phase and if it survive you can get your armory back. Of course you get kicked half the time you do that but it's cool to do so <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I do 3 things when i have lmg: 1) comm gives an urgent order; i run off with spawn equip 2) All quiet; grab 1 magazine from armoury for LMG (100 spare ammo for lmg), run off to action 3) Going on a long patrol; grab 2 magazines from armory for LMG (150 spare ammo for LMG), go on patrol.
other wise either (1) from above or fill up full ammo
I usually "suit up" with 150 LMG rounds and 20 pistol rounds. If we're under attack I don't bother, I drain both weapons and then switch to the knife. If given an explicit order, I grab half a clip on the way past.
I'm preety much a ditto of Bill Door. I try to get it on the way by if I can strafe, if not, there I am.
One request. Can we define down "Armory Humping?" It's gotten to the point now, along with ever wanting Heavy Armor, that if you look at an armory, your a "n00b sux0rz w3akl1ng" Armory Humper.Sometimes, you just got to have that extra ammo. LIke when a situation that was hectic is secure, but they'll be back any minute. If you have time to dig in, you may as well dig in with a clip or two extra, right?
Armory Humper - person that gets ammo in the face of orders, or refuses to belive ammo slows them down
Brilliant Minded handsome forward thinker - Someone that grabs a half clip or something extra when hitting the heat of it

Being a relative n00b, in my first month of play i was very greedy and humped just for those extra 5 bullets i had accidentally fired. Slowly maturing, ive learned to only get enough for the situation, sometimes pleasuring her until im too loaded to move. Now in my prime ive realized how ive taken my armory for granted. I now cherish my time with her, knowing that when i meet my demise, she will be there for me at the other side <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .
I always scoff at the nubs who ignore the alien invasion for one more hit...lol though, really though, i actually usually am an armory humper...since i usually dont die that much, the extra ammo is worth it. Despite the agility i afford, for my 1337-rambo missions, i always end up needing the ammo to pump into the hive and the gorges i hunt down and everything <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif'><!--endemo--> ...also i love the knife <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> so fun and useful
I am not very skilled, so I usually don't live that long. So at most I load 50 LMG rounds and 10 pistol rounds. If there's something under attack I only pick up 25 rounds of LMG ammo if I pass the armory on the way to the phase. After you use the armory you must wait a while before you may use it again, so this first half clip won't cost me much time. Or if it's the IP getting chewed I don't live long enough to reload.
