How I Use Cloak

<div class="IPBDescription">It works pretty darn well!</div> Ok, do NOT hide where they will expect you: DUH

THis means hide where they LEAST expect you: IN THE MOST OBVIOUS PLACES! Hide cloaked in the middle of rooms, walkways, doorways, on shelves, beds, etc... erm... yeah


It's awsome to hide in a doorway! And funny... unless the rine is 1337, he'll spend FOREVER trying to get by the invisible wall that is your cloaked onos body! hehe


When you are done ticking him off... eat him! <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Also: MOVE MOVE MOVE, but NOT too much! Don't move when they look right BESIDE you... the distortion on every PC monitor (except plasma screens) will show the distortion of your cloaked body a LOT more than if they look right at you!

And if you are in a dark spot, all the more! Even IRL: If the enemy looks right at you in the dark, he WILL NOT SEE YOU: This is because of how the human eye is set up: The rods in the center of your eye see well in the light, but SUCK in the dark: THe cones aroudn the outer edges see well in dark, but can't see 100% in front of you (aka, STRAIGHT ahead)

3: Don't cross anything moving/changing/shaded

This means res nodes spouting steam, steam venting from pipes, etc


4: IF YOU ARE NOT CLOAKED< PLEASE DO NOT WALK BEHIND A FRIEND THAT IS!

Dear god, all that will do is **** off the cloaked teammate!

That's all for now

    I usually cloak till I'm about 6 feet away from them because by then they realize something is moving in the room. Sometimes I'll bite them in the **** and chuckle, run around the corner, cloak, and come back again.

    I use cloak in small corridors, and i hide at the top. As they walk under me, and i have focus i just bite their head and run off :E

    I don't use cloak so much any more (I prefer lerk to skulk) but a good tip is, never creep into a marine base (especially in combat) on the floor. The number of kills I've got as a marine where I just sit next to the entrance to MS with a shotgun and wait for a cloaked skulk to walk in, right in the middle of the doorway. Even with 95% cloak it's still obvious. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Btw it's cones which are good at light and colour, and rods which are good in the dark. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    its not a distortion from the monitor. Its a buildin effect. >_<
    if you take the time to look at the distortion you will notice its a wireframe of the model involved. (kinda)

    and being a invisible wall only gets you shot. I shoot infront of me the sec I walk into a invisible wall, and I aint alone in that action.. if it works.. well.. 3.0 with combat atracted to much n00bs lately.

    bleh, cloak is great to muck around with... especially in combat. when marines are occupied in killing your buddies, creep along the walls and the roof above their heads, until youre on top of the cc. and when that poor idiot comes to weld the cc, bite his head off and swiftly move out of sight to cloak again. the key, as always, is timing. but, this tactic is obsolete as soon as marines get a gl :(
