shooting double pills

Jun 01, 2004 03:17 shooting double pills
Time for me to give some advice to people. You all know I'm not a winbolo god but those of you who are will agree with me on this. There are too many people who make this mistake and I figured i should make a public service announcement about it.

Double teaming pills (that is, you and your teammate shooting a red pill together) can be very helpful and cuts down in the time it takes to take pills, thus saving time for other important things. HOWEVER:

NEVER DOUBLE TEAM A DOUBLE PILL!!!

You know those double pills, 2 pills right next to each other either side by side like in CT3, or diagonally like in hathec. It's best if ONE person takes care of that. We all know how to do it, just shoot the further pill and it shoots the near pill dead and you shoot the far one dead and you've got 2 dead pills! But if your teammate shoots the far pill at the same time you do? Then there's nobody or nothing to shoot the near pill! So you're both left with a pill that you haven't been directly shooting, AND it's pissed off, so both teammates die!!! That sucks doesn't it. SUCKS

So be a helpful teammate and double team a single pill when you can, it reall is good teamwork and you get a big advantage when you do that. But let your teammate handle the double pills by themselves! They don't need your help!!!!

Thank you

It is the leading cause of deaths online. :cry:

Please, protect yourself and keep safe. Don't double a couple pills.

At least use protection while u do it.

Protection includes: a foursome, the armor hack, crack, cocaine, etc.

Hell, I think more people need to be schooled in the art of double-teaming or dec'ing just one pill for that matter. Which person shoots, which person swoops, who to watch for the LGM kill, how much ammo/health to have, etc.

I also think that pills are capable of shooting two streams of shells at one time at two different tanks. I don't remember this happening in pre-1.11 versions but I could be mistaken. I have a screen cap of it somewhere when me and unknown tried a double but it was shooting both of us. Can anyone else confirm this?

I have seen this happen a few times also. It only happens for an instant, like the pill gets off a couple shots in both directions before deciding on only one. But still it is an annoying bug.

I've seem to recall seeing a pill shoot at 2 different people at the same time until they were dead .... even though they were at different lengths away from the pillbox .... also, I've seen something very similiar in the opposite way as well ... were a pillbox doesn't shoot at either people, and can be killed without taking any damage .... as far as I know, it happens more frequently on people who have the same isp, and similiar ip address's ...
