If you can see someone coming up on you with a 'nade, either get your chainsaw at the ready high or just melee them with whatever weapon is in your hand. Not enough people use the regular melee.

I know you can cancel a chainsaw attack with a well placed close range shot but you cant do the same for a nade'er can you? And will chainsawing really cancel a 'nade tag? If so then that may be the answer I was looking for...

True, but so far in my experience when you go for the chainsaw you get them, but they hit you with it in the arm first. All timing of course, so for me it's all about blasting them first. I usually end up missing my melee hits. :(

It's all in who activates it first. If you have that shit revved you should win. If they hit it first, you'll get tagged, then you cut through them.

Thanks for the games earlier, even though I'm still a complete newb at the moment. I'll be back on later tonight.

It seems like there should be a delay or something on doing that or some penalty instead of just I touched you = dead. How do you guys fight against that? Just jump around like a madman?

But, yeah my roomie was drunk and bitching and so I apologize if he pissed any of you guys off. I play for fun. Even though I yell "Bullshit!!" every time I die, Im having fun :D

Haha, I think that was me. I know I played with you guys at some point last night, and I was a tagging fiend last night.

It almost seems so random how shit goes down. There are times where a guy will by trying to saw me, and the tag will stop him, while other times I tag but also get sawed and we both die.

I noticed that a lot of shotgun stand-offs seemed to go down the same way. Just completely random on who would in one

Shit I didn't even know that was you. I was on the other team (Seven Force is my brother, not the one here).

They better get this goddamn mic issue worked out soon. Playing on a team you can't hear at all (or that can't hear you) against a team that can actually communicate with each other sucks the big one.

Good games last night, although not being able to hear Bacon or Necro last night was a hassle. I got to see Chux's chainsaw rampage first-hand, but the monster was slayed in half a couple of times as well. ;)

I'll see you guys on Thursday night.
