How often do you /suicide?

    For me, it's my primary method of redeployment and spawnroom traveling so I'd say it's probably around 15-20% of my deaths, especially since the summer when they changed the spawn system because of platoon/squad/outfit abuse.

    I think I have done that maybe once in the last few months. I was stuck between some rocks I tried to jump over.

    other then that, i spawn near my squad or just instant action.

    Never. Gotta think about the K/D.

    Why not just redeploy?

    With the redeployment key, why would you suicide? o_O

    I am pretty sure that is counted as a dead as well. Plus /suicide is like 10 seconds faster.

    I have a 1.80 even with my absurd use of /suicide.

    remember kids, suicide is never the answer....

    tho homicide almost always is!
  9. BengalTiger

    Never.
    If they got me, they got me.

    Otherwise I press the redeploy button on the map.

    [Delete] is the only way to travel.

    A redeploy does not count as a death. I use redeploy since I'm too lazy to /suicide.

    I didn't even know you could. I redeploy or do a suicide charge into the enemy, at least that way you have a small chance to confuse them and open up a gap for teammates.

    Have not used it since they put in the del key redeploy.

    I was told a while back it was counted as a death.


    Oh well, it's like 10 seconds faster than the redeploy key (because you don't have to wait for the deployment). So I stay with it.

    I dont use it, but i do use redeploy alot to basehop around the map faster, or if there is no action where i am.
  17. IamDH

    I dont move a lot, but when i do.... i use the redeploy

    o_O

    I find it hilarious that the attention span of certain players is so bad that they can't wait the few seconds to redeploy.

    This choice is completely illuminating as such choices reflect the nature of the player base.

    I only do it when I need to stop a cap really fast. I've been in situations where there was just six seconds left on the timer by the time I got there. I just wouldn't have made it using redeploy.

    Too often. Although never in a fight. Redeploy takes too long and Instant Action is moronic.

    Got to be a habit by now I guess and I'd rather be where I'm needed asap rather than wait too many seconds for the redeploy to kick in. Then again I don't care about K/D, which is I guess what it comes down to in the end.
