Post by: Gloriano on November 13, 2003, 10:52:06 am: so what is this thread's point?
Title: Barrel and Scream Manuver
Post by: an0n on November 13, 2003, 10:53:56 am: For **** sake.

If you try to do certain maneuvers, rolls, burns and dives while firing your primaries, the game screeches at you.

It's a pretty ****ing simple concept to understand.

middle finger on tab and pinky on control works far better, and more comfortable. Plus you can get at other keys with your other fingers. Either that or your hands are really screwed up.

Really? I always found I didn't have enough buttons on a joypad, always found myself coming back to the keyboard. I've beat the entire game on Insane with my keyboard, and I swear by it. I'll be upgrading to an abacus once I can find what retailer ZB gets his from. :p :D

Post by: Star Dragon on November 15, 2003, 09:09:46 am: Since I use voice commands as well no screaming allowed! Unless it's supposed to be like that "DIE!" :lol:

Hey Krackers, you'llbe hiring for voice actors right? HUnt Smacker seem wicked talented... snatch himup quick!
Title: Barrel and Scream Manuver
Post by: Krackers87 on November 16, 2003, 11:46:48 pm: Screaming is usually consistent of:

HOLY **** IM GOING TO ****IN DIE! AAAAAAAAAGGHHH!

Post by: Stryke 9 on November 17, 2003, 01:22:52 am: I see I need to start calling Krackers an imbecile after every one of his posts again. He's somehow gotten it into his head that thought is not a prerequisite for interesting writing, or indeed anything else.

*cough* ahem.

You're an imbecile.
