Luring
the Opponent to his Demise
You can do battle John Woo
style, with dual pistols/uzis blasting away and doing constant
diving. That is fun! But sometimes there is going be a melee person
trying to stun you or slash you to death.
If you don't like melee battles
(or lag does not like you either), you can "trick the melee
person". New melee person, especially those who had not played
a multiplayer sword fighting game (Like Jedi Academy or Halo),
will try their best attempt to follow you to land a slice on you,
even when you walk backwards in a straight line. Thats right,
just walk or dive backwards while shooting them. Chances are,
the melee guys are gonna follow your straight path trying so hard
to slash you while you are blasting them away in a straight line.
However, if you do like being
fair and "honourable", and you have a dagger, you are
in luck. If the opponent is following you in a straight line,
quickly pull out your dagger and do an alternate attack on him.
You can do as you please with him.
If the opponent is having a
dagger, even better. Try to anticipate when he is gonna stun you.
Once he does it, sidestep and can quickly stun dagger him back
if you can time it right.
Counter:
Opponent can do sidestep dash, thus making it harder to shoot
him down. Expert melee people, don't always run in a straight
line. Otherwise, you are toast. Sword people can block all your
bullets as well. In addition, they can be unpredictable, and take
their guns out instead to shoot back.
