This Has To Be The Stupidest Thing Ever

<div class="IPBDescription">yet it works ... buh?</div> Ok this is gonna sound really stupid but the whole psychology of the thing checks out, its remarkable. Heres how it goes: you have an empty pistol and a loaded lmg, you know this, the skulk knows this everyone knows this its so obvious it makes the world cry, BUT this is where the undisciplined psychology works in Ive seen numerous people do this accidentally and its totally inexplicable. So... you click your pistol, they know you have an lmg ready, everyone knows you have an lmg ready but DESPITE this when they attack you they will not put as much effort into their dodge as they normally do. I mean WTH, Ive tried this on quite respected servers and people still forget to dodge, even if they KNOW you have an lmg death waiting for them...what the hell is going off?

    IIRC..
    i'm sure this has been mentioned b4..

    u fake being out of ammo by clicking ur pistol and using the radio "need some ammo over here" to lure skulks out..

    I try to use pistol first all the time and the skulks think I'm completely dry when I finish my clip. Works everytime.

    I do this with HMG too. Its pretty fatal to be reloading during midbattle. This is crucial in HMGing the hive from a vent. Fire half your clip then stop. Observe as all the skulks start charging you not realizing you still have a half a clip left. They all die and you proceed to gun down the hive.

    A very cunning idea. I have to admit I never thought of this before, even though I've been the victim of it. I guess it's becuase I like having as many weapons loaded as possible, so that if I need to reload one I can draw another one and reload both later.

    I tried to lure a skulk out of hiding once by calling for ammo. The comm started dropping ammo on me. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Must have been a one in a hundred chance, my man. I have died dozens of times with a knife in my hand because the cdr couldn't be bothered to drop a few ammo packs. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
