I keep reading all these duel tips and tricks that you guys post. I understand how all of these strategies like 'timing the respawns',  'adapting to your opponents playstyle', and 'knowing when/where to use each weapon' can make a better dueler. It's good stuff.

However I can try to apply and master these tactics all day and barely get any better because I, quite simply, suck at aiming. I'll typically end up dying even after having the advantage of the first shot at someone's back because I can't follow it up with a kill shot.

I duel very rarely and I don't get to play every day, so I'm not looking to become a pro dueler or anything like that. I just want to know if there are some tips for those that have terrible aim, haha. Maybe they are already in one of these topics somewhere that I just missed.

foxy, your avatar is supa kawaii.  


more ?s,  let's see. 

are there any unspoken rules when dueling. 
big no-nos and some that may be frowned upon. 


cause last time i picked up the purple thingy  (dont know the name, but it amps your shooting powa)  and the other guy was like you can't do that.  and i was like why not, i didn't even get to shoot him or anything, Confused

What helped me with aim was instagib.  If you don't like instagib just host a room and use weapon replacement to have shock and sniper only.  If you play like that for a while your aim will get better.

Also if you've never tried playing with a mouse you should give it a try.

Im sure these guys will tell you exactly what you need to know. In the meantime you will have observed that basically everyone in UT3 has a favourite/preferred weapon. You should start there and master the primary/secondary fire on it. Sniper is the only ma** spawned weapon I can think of that doesn't have secondary fire but the zoom is its replacement. How its used for duels??? Might wanna tweak your settings and cursor too and perfect aiming b4 moving onto next weapon. A tip that is often missed is the arena mutator which allows you to select ONLY that weapon to be used in a game/on a map but you need to practice with bots (very limited but better for progression although I went straight into combat), host a game using arena or find a game thats running Arena mutator. Can't tell u more than that im a noobie at this too! Also I host Arena TDM from time to time for fun!

Yeah no Udamage (the purple thingy lol), no redeemer, no invisibility, no berserk.  In heatray you do not get in the darkwalker!!  Using the flak cannon or Biorifle excessively usually gets people a little worked up as well.  Camping (sitting in one spot) for extended periods of time is also frowned upon...sitting still for 15 seconds cuz you are right by the shield belt and want to wait till it spawns is one thing...but sitting in a corner for minutes upon minutes waiting for the player to come around that corner so you can flak him in the face is not cool either....it makes for a boring game.

Also the purple thangy is called Damage Amplifier or on game referred to as Udamage, Double Damage, double d.

Unwritten rules persist on no Udamage and no Redeemer. Other then that its all game besides glitches and the obvious stuff.

You can Flak whore if you want but be ready to be called everythang in the book afterwards.

Lol bet u felt stoopid!! Hey, I accidently picked up the redeemer in Deck the first time I dueled Shewulph. She told me earlier NOT to pick up power ups like damage amp - purple thingy, Super berserk - capsule thingy or redeemer - phalic thingy! Anyway I didnt know thwe map so when i realised what Id done I tried to find a spot and was going to waste it but a swallowed a couple of shock balls and a combo b4 respawning. Then I saw her msg me - no mics and I could tell she was p1ssed b4 I read the incoming. Im sure thats why I dont duel Confused Ouch
Anyway if you host you can elect to switch those off can't you?

I don't have all the timings memorized so I'll let someone else answer that.

But when you hear people calling out the item and the time they are letting everyone know that they got the keg or whatever the item is at that second count....so if the game timer is at 4:22 I got the belt I would  callout "belt at 22" so all my teammates  then know at approx 3:23 the belt will repawn.  It's a good way to help your team control the powerups.

when I'm online, I can help with aim.
with the rockets, especially. I use to play instant action shock rifle only with kills slow time.
for the sniper I would use only the sniper for like 2weeks straight in ctf pubs. I'm startin to do that again now.
back then I was the best sniper LOL. ask a few old tRi guys.
(on decent ping I still **** lol)

but I know the secret with rocket aim.

ok I read in another guide, probably yours Remy ^^^^ Wink that it was ok to use the U damage b/c it helps to balance out the other person with a shield belt....so which one is it???
