Obligatory 1v1 against Godlike Bot thing

Yes it's a 1v1 DM against a Godlike bot. This was provoked by a thread I was reading last week on the UT3 forums.

I wanted to respond to this earlier, but I have to work for a living.

Also, when I actually made the attempt I found these little bastards a bit harder to deal with than I thought they'd be.

Well, I should say, they CAN be difficult, depending on the map. There are some maps on which I found beating these guys to be ridiculously easy. Biohazard for example.

Basically I found (as I've often read), that they are very, very good at using hitscan weapons. Biohazard has none but the shock and sniper rifles (and they don't use them much).

I have a vid of me beating a poor defenseless godlike bot in biohazard, which I may post later for no good reason.

Anyway, this vid is on a map called Hypoxia. It's a lot like Morbias, but with a wider variety of weapons. And also a few health and armor powerups.

I found the godlike bots put up a bit more of a fight here.

I had to practice a while before I could beat one. I also had to turn the music all the way down. Then I had to turn down the ambient noises quite a bit.

Eventually I arrived at a few ground rules:

1). On spawning, try to load up on everything, get under cover, and locate your enemy, as quickly as possible, and preferably all at the same time.

2). On getting a kill, get under cover immediately. He will respawn shooting. And the enforcer is hitscan. And you are probably down on hitpoints.

3). Favor mid range fights with the rocket launcher, flak cannon, goo gun, that sort of thing. They're weakest on that.

4). Always stay near cover. If he ducks out of sight, or whips out a hitscan weapons, get behind something. Not RIGHT behind it though...

Anyway. I know this kind of thing is frowned upon. But what the heck I enjoyed it.

I haven't even tried most of the standard maps. The matches on Biohazard were taking a long time. I wanted a small map so I could get a whole match in about 4 minutes. Still had to cut the frag limit down to 10.

I went with Hypoxia basically because it's small, and he's got the mini there, and he likes to use it.

Just tried Shangri La a little while ago, and yes I thought it was extremely tough.

Wow, that fight would be extremely difficult on maps like Shangri La or Diesel.
