Using The 'attack Waypoint'

Wormtail

<div class="IPBDescription">It can be useful</div> DOesn't anyone use the attack waypoint?

I KNOW it's hard to use it, but the use is very good

It allows marines to know where da heck that creeping lil Kharaa is!

It's like motion tracking, just that it's only on one alien

Help a lot, to keep marines from ambushes and getting killed

It's kinda hard to put the waypoint on the alien commanders, but once you do, it'll be a lot easier for marines to kill it and not get themselves killed

If you dont use the attack waypoint, try it, and youll see a dead skulk soon...

It also blocks your view and makes it hard to shoot it. Plus, most commanders have better things to do than play "tag the fatty"

I use it alot until I get motion tracking. It works great for those camping skulks behind the door.

Attack waypoints can be useful, but they do obscure the target a bit. It's like getting one of those Defend waypoints on you when you're a marine - it's always in your line of fire.

If you want your troops to target an individual unit during a battle, that's great, but it's tough to get it on the unit you want them to attack. Most often they'll wind up getting a Move waypoint.

I do find it useful for taking out Gorges in the early game, but like others said, once MT is researched, there really isn't that much use for it.

It's great for pointing out the gorges location for your resident hunters. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
