dm tips

[g-boy]

I personally just prefer arena... I'm pretty good at DM1 if that's all there is though. Just like arena, don't be repetitive in jumps, be unpredictable. Easier said than done, as what may seem random and unpredictable in your eyes, someone else may catch a pattern and you get burned. Just constantly adapt. Unless there are only a few people (or one other person for that matter), don't get into battles. The map has too many variations and is too large to fool a skilled jumper into getting hit, unless of course you get up close. Just try to find people that you don't think are aware of your presence, get a shot off, and move on. Pursuit will get you killed by someone else who is out of your vision. Also, if you get a chance, fire a disc or two at the barriers and let them bounce around, you may get a lucky hit. There are some who do the spamming thing on these barriers... they get killed a lot, and they rarely kill good players unless they just spawned. Don't be fooled by their large scores, that just comes from hitting newbs and afk's.

I think one thing that players don't do enough of is turning on the sound and listening. It does have it's uses... you can hear where people are, particularly by their bounces. And the biggest thing for me, as some players may have discovered, is that I listen to the type of disc. If it is a push disc, I take the hit and either push forward hard enough that I don't fly off the pad, or if I'm already in midair or near an arrow, I take the hit and push forward or backward and maneuver so that I land on a pad. This is important on all maps. If it's a decap, then you dodge.
