<div class="IPBDescription">Attention all n00bs - please read</div> I've noticed a shocking number of posts and comments <i>still</i> about "charge sucks" and "it doesn't hurt buildings".

Wrong on both counts.

<b>Charging FAQ</b>

Switch to Charge (weapon 3). Attack <b>once</b>. Your energy will begin to drain, and your speed will boost. You can now to damage to enemies and structures by <b>pressing against them constantly</b>.

<b>DO:</b>
Switch over to Gore and maul for extra damage
Keep holding forward while ramming buildings or Marines
Aim down at your target
Do massive damage

<b>DO NOT:</b>
Click "Fire" rapidly on Charge
Walk up to a building and stop
Hit your teammates if FF is on

Thank you. Please enjoy your destruction.

    Let's see a demo of this, with mp_drawdamage set to '1' and you destroying a building entirely with charge.

    *rolls eyes*

    So even with half the board and PTs galore backing me, you need a demo for proof. Fine.

    When I get home, I'll see what I can do with a little bot fun, mp_drawdamage and the "cheat" cvars. But rest assured that charge does damage buildings; ask any veteran player.

    I've destroyed countless buildings with Charge, didn't even have to use Gore or maul or whatever it is. I've taken down Turret Factories in seconds, Siege Cannons are nothing, and spawn points are toast. A demo is not required here, what is is more intelligence on your part <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    So rather than calling me stupid, how about you back yourself up? Resorting to an ad hominem shot doesn't support your position one bit.

    I have a great idea. Why don't you go into a game, get an Onos, and actually see if it works? You'd probably get your results faster than the other guy makes the demo, so why waste his time?

    Ah, but you see - the demo will not only prove our point about Charge damaging buildings - it will also prove his n00bishness and naiveity (sp?) to the entire NS community. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It does work. Seriously. Just step into a game and try it ... use the "cheat" cvars to allow a game start with just you, then hack yourself an Onos and Charge the enemy CC. Watch it crumple.

    I have not been able to destroy buildings with charge, but that's probably because I suck.

    Let's close this little argument : charge does destroy buildings and players. < FULL STOP >

    There 's no need to argue as MercenaryForHire is right. End of story.

    Thanks for the information, despite the split between this its nice to see someone researching the issue rather than telling somebody else to do it.

    thanks again!

    Since when did "Horribly Burn" and "Ignore" become synonyms?
