Pivot 180 and walk backwards.

He'll still be facing the wrong way, with the opponent still behind him. :-{)

I suspect you know this and will no doubt point out you are being facetious. I also suspect, and this is no way related, that you'd do well should you ever appear on a TV game show.

There's a homeless guy who does that for real, semi-famous around here. I see him once or twice a year on Bloor Street.

Eh? That was before your time, whipper-snapper. :@

And it was absolutely a combination of the first time playing a game with atypical mechanics, no weapon choice, and no time to practice beforehand due to shitty overheating servers. :@

If you want proof, attend the next meat with a computer running your choice of Unreal Tournament, Firearms, or Counter-Strike 1.3 and I'll coat the floor with fragments of your shattered smile. :@

It'll take a lot more than a little wiggle to save you.

What was your preferred weapon in Unreal? I always liked the ripper in the first tournament game, then favoured the flak cannon in 2004.

Which one of those games had the option to feign death, where you went prone on floor. That was an ace tactic.

It'll take a lot more than retrospective editing of your posts to save /you/!

In the original, it was probably the shock rifle. I played a lot of InstaGib too, which is of course enhanced shock rifle. Also having grenades as secondary to the pistol. I did like the ripper - a great sound and being able to shoot around corners, though in some maps it was a bit overpowered.

And yes, it was the original UT that had the option to feign death.

UT2003/4 were pants. The vehicle stuff is really a completely different game that, whilst it can be fun in its own right, just isn't as good as a decent foot-based fragfest.

In UT3 I favour the projectile weapons - RPG, flak, and bio - I find it satisfying to correctly infer where the victim is going to be. Got some community map packs that expand the rather meagre selection it comes with, so got both curated community-made ones and some ports of the originals, nice and nostalgic.

A simple clarification, nothing more.
