2.01d Cloaking

anyone else love the new 2.01d cloaking upgrade? letting you cloak while walking really beats having to spam scs everywhere on the map and makes for some really nice ambushes. i find it better than silence because you can sneak past turrets and chew on tfs from behind. when a marine comes to investigate just cloak and walk away. anywhere where there is no obs is your hunting ground. and after you attack just dash behind a box or something and recloak. its even better when you have regen or silence with it. i'll admit it has limited usage against accomplished marines but in most pubs its pure fun! try it!

    Am sticking to 2.0 atm, but i can't wait to try the new cloaking system.
    As right of now, with sensory i just go with SoF, but it would be nice to have anuther valuable choice.

    ROFL. Sniper...good one.

    And yes 2.01d give cloaking an actual use so you don't always go SoF (or pheremones if your on...er.."happy pills"...)

    Cloaking in 2.01 is freaking great. But you need atleast 3 chambers to take a good effect of it.

    Cloak = pwn. Silly marines and not putting obs at a hive.

    If they can replace pheremones with something that will keep Onos/Fade fans from screaming my head off when I put down a sens at any time other than 3rd, maybe it'll see some use. At least sensory now has some capability of helping a TF go down. But it's still not going to see much use until it includes something useful for pitched battles, instead of just ambushes.

    Don't diss the new cloaking till you've tried it. It also has a nasty "blinking effect" (sadako effect <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->) to it so you're shooting this gorge and he keeps disappearing/reappearing. I don't know why this happens though.

    Only thing stopping this is a nice ping or obs. Usually its too late to ping. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It does add for some interesting strategies for sneaking quietly into base... Then, when they all leave, you Gorge and spam offense chambers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
