Because the sniper rifle is offered on that map. TX27 used it and used it well. Why whine about it? His sniping wasn't effective enough though, we won on Downtown. The power ups are offered, deal with it.

Do you want to know why this game has had such staying power with us? It's because it offers so much to so many people. It doesn't just cater to those with the best reflexes or map knowledge. It offeres a unique set of tools, terrain and situations. That uniqueness allows players like myself the opportunity to outsmart players with more natural ability.
 
In short, what I am trying to say is this. If all of you are half as good as you tout yourselves as being, you should be able to overcome a noob with a redeemer or flak cannon.
Cheers.
couldnt agree more!!


You guys have no idea why epic and ID added AMP/Redeemer/Berserker/invisibility into this game. Just guess! Here's a clue!

Fill in the blank

It destroys _____ control.

A single weapon cannot change a whole outcome of a game unless its a deemer >_>

the last time i dueled this AIRES dude wrote me a message calling me a b1tch for shooting a redeemer on accident because i was trying to jump around it at deck and shot it straight down and he was there and we both died... he left and called me that. xD i dont use powerups unless you are either xXlxphantomxlXx or iPwN_HaRd_X_CoRe and thats just a dw at heat ray. xD i only do that to make them mad, but then i let tem have it at one health and blow it up when they get in it. i promise not to use powerups unless your one of those two. LoL :)
Adios, the last farewell

The good duelrs know how unbalanced the power up is in the right hands and therefore forego its use. If you think playing a duel against kali is hard enough already, imagine if he picks up AMP and kills you multiple times in 30sec. You retards really dont think things through. If you dont play duel consistently then you cannot form a solid opinion on dueling. And no, only dueling against your equally inept friends does not count as a real duel.
Someone delete ALL OF MY GUIDES and my One on one Duel FN A THREAD. I feel like this community wants to argue/b****/pms on the forums rather just be competitive and play.


sadly i think you might be right

I say if you want to duel a friend and you agree to grab the U-Damage go for it.
 
Otherwise respect the customs and unwritten rules of the mode
 
Fluffy,
That is a fair point and a good analogy. I'll shut up now.

These rules were decided upon by the best players around the world and no one is better than them at exploiting every aspect of the game. If anyone makes the duel rules, it should be them. They know better than anyone else what is balanced and what is not.
well none of u are the authority of competitive play either! sound like a bunch of whiny ol crack headz!

As he just said; He didn't make the rules.. the best duellers of the world did and have been using them for over 10 years now.

The only people who use the powerups anyway are people who are either new to the mode, messing around or trying to piss someone off anyway, as they get what it means. Therefore even if they do use those items, they usually still lose.
I just made a thread for people who want to get a bit of understanding on it.

my thoughts exactly.  i watch all the vids from the dueling tournament, hell i even downloaded them to study them a bit.  80% of the time duelers were heading for powerups.  i had to fast forward to see when some kills happened because it got, dare i say, boring...
 
i didn't want to see people picking up shield belts all day.  i wanted to see skill.  just my opinion so don't crucify me.
If Gravity is a "P" and the Sun is an "H", it makes a FFFFFFF.
