The yellow armors (50 armor points each) and the red armor (100 armor points) re-spawn 25 seconds after being taken, and the 100 health (blue bubble) re-spawns 35 seconds after being taken. The players must mentally calculate when these items will spawn next in order to take them/prevent their enemy from taking them, since having more health & armor than your opponent obviously puts you in a much better position during fights in which damage is exchanged. Players often try to delay some items when they're sure to get them in order to mess the timings of their opponents. That's why a player will often try to get somewhat close to an item even if they can't challenge their enemy for it - they still need to know when the said item has been picked up so they can calculate when it will spawn next. Players who are in a dominant position also often try to delay major items so that two don't spawn at the same time, allowing them to pick one then move across the map to pick the next one. Otherwise, the enemy will likely check which item the dominating player is going for and go take the other one if it's spawning at the same time. I'll add a few things regarding the weapons: the three main weapons you're going to see used are the rocket launcher, the railgun and the lightning gun. The rocket launcher does the most damage out of the three when you manage to hit direct rockets, but the opponent can often see the rocket coming and dodge it, which is why it's most effective when you're very close to your opponent. You can also "spam" with rockets to prevent your enemy from entering an area and, say, contest an item (if he does try to enter the area he will take initial damage from the rockets - note that this can also be achieved by spamming grenades or spamming plasma bolts which are projectile that look like blue balls of energy. These do less damage than rockets but are fired much more quickly). The rockets have splash damage, meaning that you will lose health if one explodes next to you (i.e. if it hits the wall right behind you), but you'll lose less health than if it was to hit you directly. Since the explosion will also push your model, players sometimes fire a rocket below their feet while jumping in order to reach higher areas of the map thanks to the added push. The lightning gun gives constant damage to the enemy as long as you're hitting him with it. It is typically used in mid-range situations where the enemy would have the time to dodge a rocket by the time it would get to him. The railgun fires individual lasers ("rails") that deal 80 dmg to the enemy (I believe a direct rocket deals 100 dmg). It is typically used in long-range situations. Regarding the spawn system, be aware that there is a limited number of possible spawns on each map (like in sc2) - you can't spawn anywhere. The players know these spawn locations by heart and usually have a general idea of where their opponent is going to spawn after dieing, since the game selects one of the three spawn locations which are the furthest away from the player who made the kill (if I'm not mistaken). | ||

http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/igp5a/did_mlg_boot_2gd_off_as_a_commentator_cause_of/c23ly6e Oh don't worry, it's fine. Apparently it's all my fault mrmlgclap: Totalbisquit begs us for a job all the time then tries to insult us live on air? Really professional mrmlgclap: sorry that does not fly here mrmlgclap: Like he had a sense of humor when JP made fun of him last year on reddit? Thin skin for someone so 'witty' Apparently I commentate Quake now and insulted MLG live on their stream XD Big love MLG but I want whatever that staffer was smoking. A tip for future. 2gd's the handsome one with the hair, easy to tell us apart. http://twitter.com/#!/Totalbiscuit/status/88013778620391424 Dear MLG, just because it's 4th of July does not mean you get to mistake @follow2gd for me. How insulting :[ | ||

MLG booted him from stream. Debate on forums. Some people that didn't get the joke are raging and defending MLG generally being humourless bastards. Some people that got the joke and are bit annoyed that MLG is being lame and chose to do something else. Most people here don't care since it's not SC2. I died in LoL and am posting here. Most people here it seems are super serious, I don't think people laugh much in USA sometimes. I'm pretty sure we all understood the joke, too bad it wasn't particularly hilarious, and it was completely out of place and unnecessary the only 'funny' thing about the situation is watching every single european jump on the retarded bandwagon and defend 2gd like he is a god and MLG is the devil (this is no surprise) "i don't think people laugh much in USA sometimes" - wow, what an absolutely brilliant inference, although next time you make such an uninformed statement you might want to obtain a bigger sample size | ||
