If you play DXMP what's your favourite strategy for mass killing? If you don't have DXMP, why the hell not? Get it!

So what about other people?

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/wink.gifActually, my strategy depends on the map. Some weapons just aren't effective as much on certain maps...
On small maps like Smugglers and Silo, I like the Assault Rifle and the GEP gun... but on big maps like Area 51, the assult rifle is not terribly effective, because you can get killed by a sniper rifle or gep gun from across the map and the assault rifle doesn't have that range...
On the larger maps, the gep gun, sniper rifle, and a shotgun maybe do the trick. I also like to use mines when I can get them, gas mines and LAMs... they're convenient traps.
I rotate the weapons I use depending on the situation... my weapon selection is also affected by the weapon selections of the people I'm playing with... gotta be versatile, you know.

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/wink.gifI do love the speed aug, and I use the cloak aug sparingly, but never to *camp* (that's annoying)... basically, I use cloak to get myself out of a bad situation... i.e., I'm cornered, in bad health or something.

I use cloak, silent running, regeneration, and reticulator...I'm just the silent sneaky type....unless my opponent has Vision, then I'm screwed hehe.
My favorite weapons are Combat Shotgun and Sniper Rifle and I use demolitions quite alot. My favorite maps are the big ones: Area 51 (Though they best hurry with that door fix!) and Command, so I can snipe and set lots of explosives.
....I'm also one stubborn guy because I always play like this, no matter the situation. So if I continually get killed by a bunch of "Vision Whores," as I call them, I'll probably find I new server where there aren't so many players that are completely ideal for executing me. I refuse to alter my playing style.
So, knowing this, you could easily play against me and win...once you've got me figured out, I'm a pushover.

Assault rifle, sniper and plasma, cloak, ads, energy shield, targeting, regen, power recirc. I get cloak and targetting first, cloak up and head out. Depending on the map i'l either go for lockpicking (20mm, lams, emp) or comp, or rifle. I sneak up behind someone turn on targetting and let loose hell. most often pple dont have vision.after first kill i get my defense augs and then i can easily withstand gep, plasma, lams (if their not too accurate) laws, whatever. ballistic weapons aren't as powerfull, and i can usually out shoot them.My main weakness is to melee weapons. My nightmare is a vision augged master knife thrower with combat strength and targetting.

For smuggler, which is the only one I;ve really had a chance to get into, I'm all about the assault rifle(yeah Hanse) with either assault shotgun or flamethrower as backup. Augs= the F6 one (ballistic defense or soemthing?) and regen to start, then recirc and agressive defense. It works great.

I have only played 4 real MP games though, so maybe I'll change my mind at some point.
ps: over cloakers are pansies
pps:so are over gep gunners

Haven't played it in a long while but I preferred taking all defensive augs (no cloak) and the recirculator. Usually use the flamethrower (excellent cloak detection), GEP, and autoshotgun. If there's too many hostile GEP people I'll snipe. I usually go for all the lockpick goodies too.

Igs. For that you'll REALLY get it.

I would play DXMP. But I can't get any games to work with Gamespy Arcade. And I don't have DX installed anymore either.
