<div class="IPBDescription">use your abillitie to juggle.</div> alright what I call "Juggling" is when you drop your weapon to pick up another weapon then you drop that weapon to pick up the weapon you dropped first... thats the jist of it but heres why you do it.
from my expierence in the field and in the chair, I notice that marines in mid game don't seem to care enough about weapons lost in the field...if you drop a shottie thats 10 res... and while 10 res will come back soon enough with a decent amount of RTs its still 10 res and worth trying to save if it is possible. so heres what ya do
1- if you have a shottie, and your friend has a shottie , and he dies, and you kill whatever it was that killed him.. start to juggle your shottie and his and start heading towards marine start. tell him to head towards you to retrieve his weapon. and BAM ya saved yourself 10 res and your friend gets his shottie back.... its pretty simple but its a tactic that I find isn't done enough
2- when you die with an advance weapons like a shottie hmg or GL , even welder, tell your team where you died... (make sure to be somewhat specific and don't just say "its over there...." thats not gonna help...) so that if anyone is around they can either A- take it for themselves or B- juggle it and hold on to it till you can retrive it
its just a usefull tactic that often pays off

I've seen people 'juggling' as you say, waiting for teammates to come back to the area so they get a gun, but I can't say I've ever done it myself...too time consuming <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I just tell 'em where the gun is and get the hell outta there <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
what if you dont have mt, and your armor has been stripped off already?
yeah, then he watches you die, kills the alien (if he can) and runs off with your gun <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

but what if they both had HMGs or what have you! then thats when this owuld come in handY!!!!!!!!!!!!11
or if i'm harrassing the hive and threatening a lockdown of a nearby location by staying at that place i just wait for him to come instead of juggling back to ms.
@SLizer if the comm drop 846325749215 and 1/4 guns and no-one picked them up the guns would not dissapear. Equipment freshly dropped from comm doesn't disappear.
I would yell too.
Omg killing skulks with an LMG how would anyone ever manage <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If ur in a battle with a bunch of people, or holding a room (double) and somone dies, reload thier gun and leave it on the ground, taht way you can shoot and haev a gun to grab... in case you need it....
also if you are in a group of people and the guy next to you bites it and ur running out of ammo, pistol is empty, run over and pick up his gun, chances are there are 13 rounds left which can kill a skulk.. I cant tell you how many times this has saved me as opposed to knifing it out with 2 remaining skulks, but it requires quick thinking...
Also two things ive done recently along these lines
1. I juggled 2 hmg's and a welder over to hera entrance on a 12v12server with one guy wtih me.... HE died while i was welding but i manege to kill the skulk....
Next i tossed an hmg in the corner and started shooting bursts out the door... 7 skulks formed up (we had mt so i could see) and i just kept firing in burst, hitting some but not killing, inching my way to my "hidden" hmg....
They knew i was alone, so when my gun was empty i exemplified the clicking by firing a few times....I immediately then dropepd the weapon (skulks heard my pistol noise as i drew it and stepped on the full hmg..... Pwnzored 7 skulks with my new hmg.........
Had to explain to them waht i did cuz they thought i was "reload hacking" or some **** like that... but got a good laugh out of em....
ANother thing i did once was on caged.... we were outside of ventilation in shipping tunnels with a pg... well.. some of us were... i dunno where the rest of the team was, but they rushed us and me and one other guy were left, i had an hmg which was mostly full on ammo, and i saw a gl on the ground... so i picked it up and reloaded it.... and by the time it was done (frickin takes forever) i saw a bunch of aliens grouped up on mt in ventilation... and no one was phasing... so it was me and this guy alone..... So i got within plain view of the elevator (and hive room) with my gl and fired a gl spread towards the aliens... they scattered, and when the blast subsided, rushed me... i whipped out the hmg and i managed to take two of em before dying... buddy got 2 more, but pg went down..... Diddnt work perfect, but not my fault... i had a dumb team....
The point is... there is no reason why you cant juggle around 6 lmg's and just keep reloading them... most people never think about this, but ive been in situations in double where firing 50 lmg rounds absentmindedly, clicking my gun a few times then pwnzoring the skulk with my 2nd lmg, whipping out a 3rd for the skulk behind me will get responses of OMG HAXX... but in reality, its just me going hmmm NS doesent allow akimbo guns, so whats the next best thing???
Next time u see a gun... take it iwth u... it could save your life

Another thing I'd like to add: If someone right next to you with the same gun died...pick up the ammo. Don't call for ammo costing 2+ res, pick up the ammo on the ground. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
