20 Top Players Share Their NOLF Knowledge - Page 2

What are the single best and worst things about NOLF?

Here we have almost universal agreement among players that best thing about NOLF is the community and the worst thing is the netcode.

“ First the worst thing and I suspect everyone will say this...NOLF has bad ping and lag, what can I say I hope they fix it for the next version of NOLF. Second Best thing, Community...I don't mean the outside part of NOLF like the forums and chatting to friends away from the game. I mean the inside part, the fact that when your in a server you can easily find your friends and play a game against them and its easy to chat to people as well. “

“ Easily the best thing about NOLF is the camaraderie and the competition.  NOLF’s biggest flaw is its netcode, which I hope is cured in the 2nd game. “

“The best thing about nolf is the family of dedicated gamers that have kept this game alive.

The worst thing by far is the netcode. Multiplayer games would not be possible with out t1-t3 connections. “

“ The best has definitely got to be the interaction between different players and the worst, the netcode. “

 “ The best has got to be the clan matches! Very intense! Worst has got to be the netcode problem. “

 “ Worst: netcode Best: interactivity creates a rich fulfilling community. “

 “ Best: the community, fun to play (SP and MP) Worst: those bugs in the MP “

" Best: Atmosphere, it's easy minded and invites to chat a little. Worst: The horrible netcode. The lack of remote management. The Rockets (in some maps they simply make tactics obsolete) Bunnyhopping with some bullets through the knees. “

 “ I think the best thing about nolf is the clans and especially meeting new people. The worst thing about nolf is the opposite, jerks you meet online. “  

If you wanted to help a newbie get started and enjoy NOLF, what would be your advice?

The players tell us that the top six things to remember if you want to excel at NOLF are: play a lot, practice in Death Match, master a skill, learn to Bunny Hop, never give up and always respect the other players.

“ The hardest thing in NOLF to get use to is the Bunny Hopping...as soon as you learn how to do this well and shoot at the same time your going to be a threat to the best of us. “

" I would say that he/she must play  every day so he/she can be good. “

“ That’s a very simple question that has a very simple answer.  I have never seen someone pick the game up and then a week later become one of the best players in the game.  Although, you may be skilled at pc games, that can only help so much.  My advice to a newbie who wants to get better or to join a good clan is to play as much as possible.  The people that are the best in this game have been playing the game for a long time, often for extended periods of time.  Like they say, “practice makes perfect”, although I doubt that anyone is perfect at nolf lol. “

“ Play death match to get the feeling of the controls down for the first week or two. When you feel comfortable getting into a firefight try out the H & U aspect of the game. This required more a team player role, so find something that you’re good at and stick with it. If you’re good at sniping, get great at it. If you feel that you can take the best rusher down with your big briefcase than guard it with your life. The best players in NOLF are not good at everything but rather have a trait that makes them stand out above the rest. The rest of the skills will follow with time. “

“ Learn the maps. Develop strategies for all kinds of situations including what gun to use or where to fight. Also don’t start stuff with clans/well known people because that will most likely ruin your reputation if you get good. “

 “In nolf it is a good think to keep moving, strafe, jump or whatever! if u stand still consider yourself dead! Try to be sneaky and take defense when u first start, it will help u build a solid foundation for killing! Anyone can run in and get a pic or 2! “

 “ Respect the better players if you ever expect to be one. Try to play as much as possible. Advice to other experienced players, don’t try to insult others make friends cause it’s very nice to have them “

 “ Don’t take people opinions personally. A lot of people insult and put down newbies because they don’t know anything, like how to use the zip line is the most common. Also, play A LOT because you’re never going to learn anything. Try and start the most basic things in single player. “

“ Don't give up. If a better player treats you bad go train in Death match, come back and kick his ass. But you should stay calm and polite at all times. It will help you to make friends fast and then the fun really starts. “

 “ Don’t get discouraged when you get your arse whooped.  Just keep on playing and make efforts to get better at the particular skills you enjoy (like sniping, or using corrector, sneaking, etc).  Once you get pretty good at one skill, start honing the other skills that you don’t enjoy as much, and you’ll start to enjoy them once you get better!  Plus, always aim for the head (hehe). “

 “ In my opinion, I would just tell him to give each element a go, def. base rushing, etc. Find what he was good at and then get him signed up in a clan. “

 “Don't insult people who tend to kill you often. “

 “ Never ignore any advice given to you by another player. “

 “ Always try to play players with a higher skill level. “

 “ Remember the person with the most points isn't always the best player, there are other functions in the game just as important as scoring pics. “

 “ Customize your Control settings. You have to be able to do everything in the game as fast as possible (e.g. switching weapons, zooming in.). I use the mouse wheel to zoom, 3rd + 4th mouse button to switch between weapons, 1-9 keys to choose weapon. I found it much easier to aim after I set the mouse sensitivity in the controls menu next to lowest possible setting. Don't be an easy target, always keep moving and jump a lot. Turn on "always run" in the options or press Caps Lock to run in the game, never walk. Aim for the feet/next wall with explosives (Briefcase, Corrector...). Aim for the head with bullets. “

 “ Play smart.“
