MLUT: TDM UT2004 Europe - Season 1

[xiorama]

yeah hoperfully ^^ how do i like get a salary, mine will be 100 like , just intressted

[NmS]

The Admins / Team Captains and Community will decide on that.

But if they don't know you or haven't seen you play, you probably will receive a low money value.

Best way to let people know about your skills is to play some TDM pickup games in #tdm.pickup @ IRC . Good practice too People of all skills are playing there, so don't worry there are all pro players. Sometimes even americans play in the pickup with 100+ pings

[NmS]

Oh if you don't have mIRC, you can also use the webclient --> http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tdm.pickup

Or use the UT2004 ingame chat to connect to IRC. Works too.

Viper had played his first TDM pickups, was fun to watch

[}TCP{Viper//]

lol i think theres a conspiracy goin on ''keep weaps hidden from viper'' cant find a single weapon the whole match xD

[NmS]

Haha, find a weapon is a skill too . But here some tips:

• On the first spawn, grab the weapon closest to you as fast as possible (doh )
• Within the second there probably will be either an enemy or teammate wanting the same weapon
• IF enemy: Kill him!
• IF teammate: drop your assault rifle for him (double assault is almost like minigun = strong)
• If you failed in all of above (and you probably will in your first TDM matches ), where you didn't find a weapon, got no assault dropped by a teammate and got killed by the enemy, then you will have to wait till the weapons spawn again. In the beginning that means weapons will spawn again around time: 19:30. So stay alive with shieldgun, pick up all the vials you can find and avoid the 100a and DD area's, because that is were all the enemy's will be at 19:33. Go to one of your favorite weapons and pick it up when it spawns around 19:30.

All of above is for the first 30 seconds of the game. TDM matches are 20 minutes, so here some tips for the remaining 19 minutes and 30 seconds

• When all of above failed ones again, you know next weapons will spawn around 19:00 (depending when weapons were taken on first weapon spawn obviously). So be around a weapon at that time.
• After awhile weapons won't spawn at 00 or 30 anymore, so you have to time a weapon yourself. Always check the clock when you picked up a weapon. So you know it will spawn again 30 seconds later.
• If you don't have a weapon, don't run around the map with just your assault. Don't go run towards a lot of weapons just to discover they are not there. Best way is to stay around an area where you can keep an eye out on 1 or 2 weapons. Keep hanging around that area until a weapon spawns. Like for example on rankin: you should stay at the top of minigun, where you have an eye on minigun, the linkgun below and rockets.
• Run away when enemy is comming, but run in a circle so you get back to the weapon you were waiting for. Good chance it has spawned by now and you can attack your attacker. For example on rankin: when you are waiting at minigun and enemy comes. Use secondairy shieldgun to protect urself. Drop down to link gun below, run towards the corridor leading to flak, jump up and run back over the wooden plank to minigun. You should be able to do that all backwards, because you have to face your enemey with your shield . Or if you know that minigun will spawn quickly: drop down to link, run towards rockets and make a shieldjump back up to minigun.
• Try to make as much damage as possible when you are alive. Even with assault rifle you can do a lot of damage. Even if you don't kill them, you give them low health so they are easier to kill for teammates or when you face them again when you spawn. Only use shieldgun when enemy is cornered.
• When you see a teammate: Drop a weapon! Even if it is only assault. Drop drop drop a weapon. Very important! This should actually be rule number one!

This is just a part of the basics. When you can do above, you can try to do some actual teamplay - it is Team Deathmatch after all . That means:

• constantly timing the 100a and DD and be there when it spawns, so that either your team has them or enemy gets killed quickly when they get them.
• Drop a shock rifle and/or lg when your teammate has DD (or any weapon if they don't have anything). Even if that means you end up with no weapons at all. DD is important!
• Link up with a teammate if he is using link gun and you got it too.
• Stay close to a teammate. Together you are stronger. Or go towards area's where you know they are fighting. Again: together you are stronger.

Well this is enough wall of text i think

[NmS]

Oh and some timings:

• First spawn of powerups (100a, DD and 50a) = 19:33 on the clock.
• 100a = 55 seconds
• 50a = 27,5 seconds
• Keg health (100 health) = 55 seconds
• DD = 82 seconds (actually 82,5 seconds, but who can count 0,5 seconds? )
• 25 hp health packs and vials = 27,5 seconds
• Ammo and weapons = 27,5 seconds

With 20 minutes of TDM that means there are 15 DD spawns and 20 100a spawns during a game (if they were taken on the second every time they spawn, which won't happen most of the time).

DD spawns (ideal times if they are taken perfectly on spawn each time):

• 19:33
• 18:11
• 16:49
• 15:27
• 14:05
• 12:43
• 11:21
• 09:59
• 08:37
• 07:15
• 05:47
• 04:25
• 03:03
• 01:41
• 00:19

100a timings

• 19:33
• 18:38
• 17:43
• 16:48
• 15:53
• 14:58
• 13:03
• 12:08
• 11:13
• 10:18
• 09:23
• 08:28
• 07:33
• 06:38
• 05:43
• 04:48
• 03:53
• 02:58
• 01:03
• 00:08

You could memorize those times. I know some players who did They just add a few seconds if it was taken on a different time.

How to time?
Use the clock at the top left side of your screen. When you pick up a powerup (100a or DD) do the following:

• 100a: +5 seconds to the clock
• DD -22 seconds to the clock

See the timing lists above

The first start of deciding the salary of players have been started: http://www.prounreal.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1146107

I suggest that the ones playing in MLUT keep an eye out on the discussion and also inform the admins / community in which category you rate yourself (seeing the don't know you yet). So post a comment how you rate yourself in TDM.
