Hi there,
here Ive made a little table with ingame screens. If you search hints or good places to frag or if you dont know how they frag you, this is maybe the answer.
I show you some good places, bugs in maps or other positions. If you like them, post your comment, if you dont, post too

Have fun with it!
- Tenn

P.S.: I try to keep it recent! (If do new ones i will edit this psot, so watch often )



Basement (nexdm01)

With a simple laserjump you can go there. Thats the only one place in this map there nobody looks at, i think. But if someone see you, you are to 99% dead, because you cant run away from there.


Bleach (nexdm02)

Thats the upper floor. A good place to wait and frag. But you arent really hide there, becouse everyone who walks along this floor see the top - and you. Good is, that you can run away fast. To get there make a laserjump at the places ive marked.


The Slime Pit (nexdm03)

To see how to get there, watch the screen. This place is very hided in the shadow. Do get there up, make a laserjump. To get out of there: just jump at the ground to run away.


Skyway (nexdm04)

Avery good map to jump! Here isnt "a good place". Go to the top of the map and use the nex for snipering or the mortar for grenading. With the power up the Mortar is a really usefull fragging machine!


Downer (nexdm05)

To get many frags run in this cycle. Jump at the end of the platform and land at the marked area. Thats a place, where everyone comes, at least 1 time in 10 seconds! Good to navigate, with a laser you can get the mortar and jump back with your laser to the top.


Starship (nexdm06)

This place is not really a good one, but still a good place to sniper down. But everyone can see you there, so search a better one



DSI (nexdm07)

A really good map, with no bugs. So there arnt many places to go. But the best one is to go up to the top. (Ive just done this one time, but in version 1.2. After this i never have done this! So it can be, that this is fixed or it was just a lucky lagger or something else!)


Glow Arena(nexdm08)

Just follow the "Steps". Take the rocketlouncher and "fly" to the top of the "building". You can chose, if you stay there, go down or get to the real top of the map. (Never shoot with the rocketlouncher at players you see at the top "walking in the air"!!! If you do this you hurt yourself, because there is a brush, an invisible wall!!!)


Please give me feedback, if that stuff here is usefull

I know of those places but choose not to use them. I think camping ruins the game for everyone. If ever I see anyone who is blatantly camping, no matter how good or bad they are, I will prioritise killing them. I wouldn't normally give them any messages as that can just turn it into a slagging match, no fun.

Ehm, that not means that im i camper! I hate campers, not only in Nexuiz, in Q3, C/CSS MoH and all other shooters!

But for beginners, i think that shows them, where are they hiding, so they can watch those places and get known that there are such places. In custom maps are maaaaaaaany bugs, because the mapper doesnt think at those guys like me, which jump over the map, dont walk

Nice post re secret places.
im not so sure about fighting from static positions in any map. once found there you either get accused of camping, or you just get shot anyways.

They are fun to try and get to tho. like in map 9 Aneurism, from the mid level where the Quad is, theres lots of roofspace to use. Also in the basement, where theres rocket refills, look up above, theres a rotor up there.
Try and jump up on it

map 11, the room with Electro / armor it has a framework ceiling, you can get out of map from up there by jumping and crouching thro a hole.

more dynamic action will, i think, get better kill ratios.

for instance in glowarena, making a lazer jump between the rocketlauncher, over the tall scaffold to land on the armor and health.

in very general term, try and reverse whats expected of you. travel down on bouncepads areas, and travel up using lazer.
ie map 13 using the middle bouncepad to get upto platform you are an easy taget for anyone up there and crouching.
Try a lazer jump from between the side bouncepads and the central one, and get up to the platform on the diagonal.

i'll try and post a few screenies, but im short of time as close to holiday.

kern

Do that

Ive just made a few posible screen-places?!

Yes, right camping in "fast games" i not very intelligent, but there are still any people who do that!

I think its a great idea to show beginners where they can find campers. Its no fun running ardoun getting sniped and never finding out where the camper is..

Its only fitting.. in the open and free infirmation world, we all agree that information flow is better then trying to keep things under cover, dont we?

Yes, right, thats because I make this
But there are little secrets, you should keep covered, because thats your "good place", and nerver want to tell it xD

BTW you dont have to rocket-jump in nexdm08, laser-juming is ehough, you can jump on top of the rightmost part of the roof and wander from there by the corner to the top.

Yes, but that place is very offensive, i mean there are many players, normally and with the rocket jump you are faster and you dont have to "aim" at the ground carefully, just shoot down.

But the laserjump is an another solution, right.

Camping is very useless in Nexuiz (except for some gamemodes maybe) because the other players can stack their health and armor while the campers degrade.. one can easily get 150/150 health/armor and more and with that you can survive two nexgun shots.. thats "bye bye camper".
But even in those other gamemodes the action is just too fast. So a skilled player should be able to cope with it.
Maybe i should try to remember those to take an extra look of a hiding camper..
Those nexdm05 shots are not very campy though.. a single laser shot will stop it. And one is easy prey for rockets. Not sure if we want to teach players to like that area..

Camping here is useless. It's not Camperstrike. The game is too fast for camping. If you camp - one good rocket/mortar shot and you can see your gibs flying around.

I think there should be more clip(?) brushes on the maps. Some places are totally weird.

now, that damage thru walls is disabled by default, camping is a bit more useful, especially for noobs..

disagree, i think that if we can extend the playerbase sharing those "secrets" to newbies, one of the great things about nexuiz is its friendly community (here at forum and, most important, fragging online ) when a noob shoots at you with RL think twice about instantly kill him or, like a real pro u are , show him how to detonate it in middle air...

Its reenabled in the next patch iirc

tChr wrote:Its reenabled in the next patch iirc

ah yes.. tnx to our wonderful developers

At beginers point of view it's intresting to try to get those places as a jump practice.
And also as you've said: it's good to know where campers might be.

What I hate most is MG campers- in Skyway, there is a small room where people often respawn, and opposite to the corner is an MG. Not too difficult to defeat, especially, if you laser-jump out, but still irritating, since the MG takes HPs away so fast.

Well, on the other hand you have a nex gun there. (if spawned)

wow I haven't seen tenn in like forever.

anyway, camping is a part of the game, if you want to bitch about it, bitch to the designer of the map. They probably put in camping spots on purpose!

Camping might be useful in ffa games... But totally dumb in 1on1's
And camping in general is not good imo in nexuiz...

Another nifty spot.

Don't expect anyone to not see you there when you do that... it was the first camping spot on tznex03 I found and I ALWAYS get killed fast when I camp there. There are better spots on tznex03... even the ventilation system is often a good spot for flag carriers (when enemies come, they most of the times come alone, so you have chances to take them out).

I actually wasnt trying to get up there- it was an accident. I was able to make some goot shots though.

I wish I still had my screenshots. I had some really awesome ones.
