{===XII. Tactics and Tips===}
- Dash lots. Not only does dashing make you harder to hit, but it's necessary
to do a lot of things. One of the more obvious tactics is to use it to run
into a ramp-like object - you will fly into the air and be fairly hard to hit
with some weapons.
- Another tactic that the best players have mastered is called Dashjumping. It
allows you to move at Dash-like speeds without using all your Dash Power to do
so. The basic method is this:
1) Begin dashing in a direction. Your weapon will be lowered while you do so.
2) Jump.
3) Draw out your weapon again, by using either a number key or Next/Previous
Weapon. You will keep moving - at dash speed - and be carried by your momentum.
4) When you are nearing the ground again, hold a direction and hit Dash once
more.
5) Jump again.
6) Repeat from step 3.
If you can master this tactic, you will be able to zip around the maps - and
people who don't know how to do it will never be able to catch you. This is
one of the tactics the good players use - master it if you can.
- Always Reload and heal up if you're not in a firefight. Get into the habit
of doing it right after you've been in one.
- Learn a few weapons and stick with them. While it's good to know how to use
all weapons, you'll want to pick two weapons to get comfortable with and use
95% of the time. I'd recommend pairing up a Short Range and a Long Range
Weapon.
==============================================================
= Short Range Weapons | Long Range Weapons =
==============================================================
= Violator | Wolverine =
= Vanguard | Judge =
= Tyrant | Javelin =
==============================================================
Note that these aren't hard-and-fast; good players use Tyrants and Wolverines
at long range, for example. But generally you will want to pick one of each
category, and then stick to them.
- Upgrade wisely. Make sure you've got your upgrades in order and know why
you're upgrading a weapon. With me, for example, the first CAM I get goes into
my Violator (to lower the otherwise horrendous reload time) and my second one
goes into my EMAD (to speed healing.) From there I upgrade my Wolverine to
Level 2 (Focused Fire) and then my EMAD to Level 2. From there, I either
upgrade my Wolverine or EMAD to Level 3, depending on how I am being attacked,
and then finally round out my Violator if I have the time and get the CAMs.
Your upgrade strategy will vary, but always know WHY you are doing the upgrade.
And if you accidentally upgrade the wrong thing, just hit Escape, re-pick your
loadout (Pick the same two weapons) and on your next death, your CAMs will
reset.
- Know the maps. Don't take the flag if you don't know how to get to your base.
If you're a defensive player, knowing the maps will let you sniff out all the
hiding places in a crosscap situation. It also lets you cut the Flag Carrier
off before he gets to his base, and you can pounce and ambush him.
- On maps with vehicles, don't get too dependent on them. They'll get you
around quick, but Dashjumping is faster and good players will still be able to
smoke you on foot.

{===XIV. Thanks and Shouts===}
* First off, thanks to Digital Extremes for making this game. They sent me a
copy to review, along with other staffers at BeyondUnreal, and for that I am
thankful.
* Thanks to BadenSoft.net, for providing the only server ever filled on a
regular basis.
* Shouts to my guys in Clan [AR]: Leader PhycickKiLLeR36, JoEy, Badenhop,
Raiden, Russsccer, BoneSlicer, ARUHA, Tigo, and any others I forgot.
{===XV. Contact Information===}
I'm pretty easy to reach, and welcome anyone who has things to add. You can do
it in a variety of ways:
1) Email: Probably the least reliable. :p But you can try it anyway:
darkpulse@[IHATESPAMMERS]project2612.org.
If you can't figure out what part of that to remove, don't email me.
2) Websites: I'm a regular poster on several. You can do it on Project2612
(http://forums.project2612.org), BeyondUnreal
(http://forums.beyondunreal.com), or the unofficial Warpath forums.
(http://www.phpbbplanet.com/warpath) There's also my rarely-updated website.
(http://darkpulse.project2612.org)
3) IMs: Check one of the sites. Be intelligent or I won't talk to you.
Bonus points if you can actually type in intelligent English - nothing pisses
me off more than "ummm hay r u teh guy who rote thiz guid?"
4) You might find me playing Warpath, of course. ;) My name ingame is
[AR]Dark Pulse - you'll find me frequenting the BadenSoft.net servers... since
that's usually the only one with any signs of life.
{===XVI. Outro===}
That about brings this guide to a close. Hopefully you learned some things
from it, and it will make you a better player. Maybe I'll see you around
ingame; I'll be sure to "greet" you properly. ;)

Oh no, not me,
We never lost control,
You're face to face,
With the man who sold the world...
