Powerups in duel

Originally posted by COKKENBALLS Complaining about what is available in the map is ridiculous. How can you complain about what is given to you in the map? To use another mode as an example. Last night on Downtown, TX27 kept sniping my whole team. He was tearing us up with the sniper rifle. Now, it was annoying and I made some pithy comments between matches but, I had to let it go. Why? 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!!

If you still don't get why the AMP and BZRK are not allowed in competitive duel then you are beyond ignorant. There is nothing i can say that will finally cram this concept into your dense skulls.   Also, just because EPIC has it on the map does not mean they are the authority on competitive play. 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.

Originally posted by Hey_Look_its_Trendy Tell you what strider, the day you get good at UT is the day i value your opinoin. Until then feel free to shove your head back up your own a**.   By the way, good duelers don't whine when one of you incompetent players pick up the AMP. We know we are gonna beat you regardless, you just might score an undeserved kill. 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.

You're not allowed to have those threads and guides deleted...  Just NO! 

and me 

Aight w/e keep those guides up. If anyone asks for help, you already know the answer; i'm only going to be there to help dueling regulars...

Kiss my a** you ignorant jobbers  :)

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 >_>

Stop bragging that you're playing an 18+ game, you're really awesome we get it.
Also lol @ calling us the bull**** players.

powerups ina duel= don't do it. it's that fn simple.

I understand both sides of the argument. Neither of which in my opinion are wrong until you put them into public or competitive gaming contexts.

I'm sure I don't have to illustrate in which context the UD is acceptable and not. However for the people with slightly less brain power than the average poo... I believe that using UD in a public duel is fine, I will never use it coz I'd rather get my a** whooped 10-0 than pick something up I know the other guy could off coz he is a far better player.

In competitive play the UD and redeemer are way off limits. And besides... any competitive dueller wouldn't be so nooby to pick it up. So therefore the whole argument is pointless.

Noobs pick it up which means they always get owned anyway.
