Making Friends in a Free-For-All

Tuesday, January 06, 2009

This is really cheap and will probably make people mad, but when you are playing a split screen game with a bunch of people and you are doing free-for-all slayer, you will need all the help you can get. If you are playing with all or close to all 16 people, you will start dying soon after you spawn back.

Even though you are on opposite teams, you can still have different people get in the same vehicle. This will help you tremendously because warthogs are deadly to single infantry.

At first glance people will probably rub their eyes and wonder "How on Earth can he shoot the gun and drive the vehicle at the same time when there is only single-man teams?!"

If you work together, things are much cooler and if you are like me excitement will rush through you as you do this, especially if you improvise in the action. One second you can be shooting someone down, but if they are smart and hop in, the next second you will be aiding in their survival. This will happen all the time if you play with smart people, one driver, one gunner, one empty seat.

You are chasing someone down and shooting them, when you turn around because you pass them. In that brief second of deceleration, they will hop in and there you go, three different teams forming an unstoppable alliance. To make this fair, you will have to stop every one and a while to alternate seats, just because you help kill someone, doesn't mean you get the points for killing them.
