Great article. The photoshoppery was very well done. I was actually hoping for tips on playing evil without hating yourself in games like Fallout 3 but the comedic/commentary on enemy ai angle = good stuff.
they mean an unamanned gun turrets...so basically rather then shooting with a pistol get behind a machine gun on sandbags etc to mow down soldiers with like 100m long bulluts with infite magazine/drum/belt if there IS CURRENTLY NO-ONE DOING THAT ALREADY.
in End war, scatter your troops, this way when you win, your enemy wont just Nuke/Use Rods from God, or an EPB to obliterate your troops. if wounded, retreat, find health, and cover your friends who are pushing forward, this way, your a greater asset to the team, instead of just being a meatbag
I'd like to see a game where you control grunts. It would play alot like lemmings. You postion your grunts near more hazzards(like the red barrel) and once a timer runs down the 'hero' runs in shooting the hazzards and you get points for mass grunt kills, grunt suicide and stupidity, and over the top grunt kills (i.e 10 grunts standing below a grate held up with floss)
