The art of spam.
Hi dear excessiveplus community.
Since i am bored to death, and i dont really have any idea about what i should do, i decided to make a thread about the art of spam.
you might see me as crazy now, but its true, there are many ways of spam!
just go on reading, then i didnt do this "for the cat", then i did this for real freaks, and thats worth it
!!I will always say IT instead of HIM or HER because i dont want this to become a battle of sexes !!
The Get-It-In-The-Right-Position-Spam
The pos spam is a good friend of lamers, and players who just want to make the opposite get angry. it is used (as the name says to put the enemy in the right position/move it away from something (like quad, shield, regeneration, thaws, teammates etc.)
the thing is to shoot close beside the enemy, but always on the same side, so the enemy can not move to that side, and you know in what direction the other one will go and got an easy target job with rail.
It is often used to improve the railacc to appear good as a noob () or lamers, that wanna make the opponent mad by spawnraping:
shoot em in a corner, and rail. easy frag, makes others mad and improves railacc, then HYPER will invite you
The Ultimate-Spam
used by all quakers at least once, its just spinning the weapon switch wheel while pressing fire, just cos your angry, sad, set up, mad at some1, dont want to be spawnraped, or used by totally noobs, or ppl who want to appear like ones.
The Cage-Spam
this kind of spam is used by few users, you shoot once left, the next one right, left again, and right again to finally switch on rail and hit the easy target in between the explosions of your spam-it cant move neither left, nor right, so the only way to hit you is to hit the first shot, or die.
its usefull on short distances, but on far ones, forget it, he will shoot 3 times on rail before your rockets even appear on his monitor
The One-Weapon-Spam
eg. by machine gun, lightning gun or plasma.
it is usefull, and in the hands of a good player totally deadly.
if your opponent is nearly dead, hiding pretty good, you wanna secure a hallway, it is often used.
just spam right infront of you and make lil waves into it like this:
-.,_,.-~*°~-.,_,.- enemy
it will be confused and die
with mg and lg its a bit more difficult to hit, cos its impact is immediatly.
so you better train to keep your crosshair on the enemy by the Ultimate-Spam and then switch to the one way spam.
im still bored, bye ^^

But, you missed a few styles of spam, let me fill the gaps.
The Pounce-Spam
Pounce spam is a very easy technique, oftenly practiced by newbies who choose pants or e5 servers to play, it works best there, but basically, any server with non-sticky nades and/or rl is good for it. It's as stupid as easy - you aim nade launcher or rl under your feet, press fire and don't let go. It's hilarious to watch, but highly ineffective at getting frags (unless you play with even worse newbies)
The Teleport-Spam
Only works on servers that have the function that allows weapon projectiles to travel thru teleporters. No need to do a lot of explaining here, i'm sure most of you did it at least once (on dm11, most probably). You get in front of the tele and shoot all weapons that fire non-instahit projectiles (gl, rl, pg, bfg) and pray it hits some unfortunate fellow in the back.
The Death-From-Above-Spam
Very cheap-ass and practiced by newbs around the world with a zeal worthy of a higher cause. It's all about getting to a fortified, easy to defend, elevated position, and spamming every possible entrance to it with anything you can. Good example of this is camping the metal pipes above the acid pool on dm11 and spamming both the corridor and doorway, not forgetting to give the spawn points their share to avoid a reversed spawn-kill.
The Splash-Spam
Good and effective for killing the less skilled people who like to stalk around corners with gauntlets. Aim to the ground, just a tad bit behind the arch/doorway and spam away. If there is a hidden fan of yours, wanting you to give him an autograph on his gauntlet with your blood, he will surely reconsider when those happy grenades will explode in his face.
"The Cage-Spam" doesn't sound like spam to me at all. Sounds like tactical shooting.
Quick introduction to the philosophy of Spam. Volume 1
my nose is spamming fluids, fucking cold
Unless he's spamming out the window, it would be The Death-From-Above-Spam then.
