| Description |
Since I come from a Quake background the Shock Rifle is not the most comfortable weapon in the game for me. Unfortunatly, it is the best weapon.
Though my teammates had given me suggestions about 'only use shock for 3 months, no other weapons', I just didn't have the patience to do so without getting extremely competitive again. So that solution was out the window.
After thinking about working on my shock aim, out of game, or wherever, I couldn't come up with a way to practice it without flat out disregarding other weapons. However, I was not ready to make this commitment, cause I do love that Rocket Launcher dearly.
Ironically, all it took was some time on an empty server for me to feel much more comfortable with the Shock. Everytime I needed to config the GameAmp UT Server I took a few minutes to just shoot shock combos in the warmup mode of UT Comp.
As silly as this may sound, it isolated my aim a bit and made me feel much more comfortable using the weapon as a primary, as opposed to a secondary. Usually, the biggest help on how to use a weapon is comfort with it, not so much a different way of using it.
After doing a bit of warmup w/ the Shock I joined a pub server and went through my loops and routines. I had never really integrated shock into my loops on levels, though if it was there, I'd pick it up. Suffice to say I started using it more often and getting at least 3-10 more kills a game. I'd noticed my deaths decreased dramatically as well. The game definatly got a lot more interesting when I could hit my combos w/ that shock.
