[Glows]
when some is glowing, they have a colored translucent field around them, so it is hard to
tell which team they are on. In Q2CTF, they blink, giving you a chance to see their skin,
and in LMCTF they are different glows for different teams.
If you see someone glowing blue...
Hide! This dude's got the quad! Get out of his line of sight and let a rocket loose.
But make sure it hits him. Nothing worse then when a quads mad at you. Well maybe
one thing...
If you see someone glowing red...
Run! Don't walk, run! Invulnerabilty! You can't put a dent in this guy for thirty
seconds. If you are man enough for it, you could try to use the Super Shotgun or
Rocket Launcher to push him into lava, and hope he can't think fast enough to grapple
out of it.
If you see someone glowing pink...
Pray he didn't see you. This guy is not only Quaded up, he's packing some invulnerability
too. This is rare, but when you see one of these, go to the other end of the level.
If you see someone glowing green...
when you shoot him, he blinks green. When he falls a considerable distance, he blinks
green. They're wearing power armor. If your lucky they'll be stupid and try using the
Hyperblaster or BFG (maybe lucky isn't the right word...) they'll be easier to kill,
since they're using cells to fire, and when you hit them they lose cells. The best
idea is to get in, take your shot, and get out. These guys can take some serious damage,
but they'll still killable.
If you see someone glowing white...
You should realize you should've used that nifty feature on gamespy to filter out servers
using cheats. He's got God mode on, so your only hope is to use you shotgun and knock
him into someting that'll kill him. (not much! The coolant in the reactor level will,
but that's pretty much it. For pushing someone, use the Super shotgun. Or, the famous
telefrag. It's hard to do, but you have no idea how proud you feel when you telefrag the
god moded enemy flag carrier) if you can do this, be proud. It's cool, even if you didn't
get the frag credits. I don't condone cheating, but if you want to sneak up on that God
mode guy, type "notarget" in the console. I don't know if the can see you after you frag
them, but it's worth a shot. Personaly, I'd go play on another server.
Or...
I was playing LMCTF the other day, and on LMCTF02, I saw people glowing white. When this
happened, I didn't find cheats on. I was confused. Then
Cousin Randy enlightened me. It means
they have invulnerabilty. Plus, when the red team picks up quad, they turn red, blue
turns blue. They must've done it to keep people from getting confused.
Disclaimer: Glows can be used differently by different mods. If you see someone
glowing white on a Freeze Tag server, they're not cheating, they're frozen. In Jailbreak,
when I red guy picks up a quad, he glows clear. The above work for Q2CTF, and eventually
LMCTF.
