How Much Ammo Do You Get At Armory?

JohnnySmash · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">I can write anything I want down here?</div> Hmm it seems to me that there's always a couple guys at the armory. Are people spending too much time here? Considering some may die dozens of times during a long game you can look back and realized you spent a few minutes worth of game time at the Armory. 15 seconds * 20 deaths = 300 seconds. That's 5 minutes!!!

SO... I think it's because people are standing there thinking they need 250 ammo!! I originally got 250 because hey- it's free, right? Now I usually only get 100, sometimes more if the game situation seems to require it (i.e. sometimes when there are a lot of Onos I'll need to use a LOT of bullets on it while staying out of range or such)

BOTTOM LINE!!!! Don't waste too much time at the Armory! =D

It's a judgement call. If I'm going over to guard stuff, I usually get the whole 250. Nothing sucks more than guarding an outpost with no ammo. If I know that I need to get somewhere FAST I get 150 or so.

Yeah. There are a few threads on humping the armory. People don't seem to learn.

Me, I figured out early that I can probably get away with taking 50/175 LMG and 10/20 pistol. Less than that and I tend to run out of ammo and die, more than that and I never run out before I make it back to an armory, which I think is a sign I'm taking too much.

Of course, if a commander is fool enough to give me an HMG, and nothing urgent is happening, I'll load that puppy up. Nothing sucks like facing down an oncoming skulk with an empty HMG. I always end up wishing, "Can't I at least use this thing as a big club?"

Plus, if you take less ammo, that means you're back out in the field faster, which means you're having more fun shooting at Kharaa than staring at your ammo numbers.

If I know I'm going to be sitting on guard duty I'll stock up and get full ammo, but unless there's something I need to go to <i>immediately</i>, I grab 150/20.

Haze · August 2003

100/20 here. One clip for each gun, if I need more I'll ask for ammo/use phase/knife/pickup that dead guy's gun.

I always use my pistol...full clip there.

Normally 150 for my lmg if "just cuz" (I have a high survival rate)

but I always get full ammo if I'm going out on orders, because you have to survive out there without your commander, often.

1.04 : lmg 150 pistol full

The flashlight trick doesn't work anymroe right?

Clint · August 2003

I agree, pretty much the same opinion as Kwil.

lazygamer · August 2003

I am a big fan of 150 ammo for the LMG. I only get more when I'm idling around base, it's never a requirement to have more than 150. I'm always willing to rush out there with NO extra ammo, if there is a time crucial objective. More often than not I don't even use up all 150 reserve rounds.

I don't bother with pistol ammo though. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I ALWAYS stock myself up when I have a HMG/SG/GL, unless there is a conflict that is extremely close to base, then I don't stock up as much.

TheFrag · August 2003

I went through those stages. First it was "OMG I need tewh ammoo!!!1" and hen I was like "Hey, im never gonan use this". But now I get full everything unless I need to do something urgent. This is because even after geting full, I still find mself asking for ammo.

Hida_Tsuzua · August 2003

I've done 150 reserve rounds for my LMG and 20 for my pistol for ages now baring time issues (get to x ASAP). However for non-free weapons, I always load up all the way if possiable.

RuSki · August 2003

is marine speed still faster with less ammo? or has that been changed?

Sirus · August 2003

I usually need to take full ammo. Or else, I end up running out of LMG rounds, and...while it's fun to run out with a knife ... I'm too nubbly to survive ^^

Enough Hardware to level half of Manhatten.

killswitch · August 2003

sometimes none if there's pressing business. I honestly don't have the patience to gear up. Am I really going to be able to reload more than 4 times in a firefight?

Nonetheless, usually 100/50 for the LMG, pistol stay at 10/10

MrKNifey · August 2003

To help with the immensely long periods of time you seem to spend at the armory humping it happily, I recommend flipping hud_fastswitch on and switching back and forth between weapons. Cuts armory time in half. AND, you can load up on the GL real quick too......

I always load up all the way. 2.0 doesn't have the 'speed-based-on-how-much-ammo-you-have' thing anymore. I had a fully loaded HMG with HA and I was able to keep up with LA/LMG.

R_A_C · August 2003

I ussually fill up with 150 lmg. I almost always forget about the pistol. I ALWAYS fill up all the way with GL and HMG.

Catpoker · August 2003

175-250 for lmg.... depends on what i am doing

full clips for hmg/shotgun/gl

i usually dont use my pistol... but sometimes i fill up...

none if phase gate is under attack <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
