I know it's not impossible, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the shotgun spawn near the backpack. If I get that spawn I can assume my opponent also has a shotgun, the armor, a rocket launcher, and probably the mega by the time I've gotten to that side of the map with my one shotgun and oodles of armor.Kev wrote:Shooter lies, all lies! Well sort of... Frag Chamber is one of the most balanced maps in Doom3, you just don't know how to play it. I've played many players where our games only go to like 4-3 or like 7-5. I'm telling you its like a game of chess if you know what you're doing. You can't just grab a gun like in Phrantic and take back control in Frag Chamber, you have to play it smart. And thats what makes the map so great. And yes I love Phrantic because its fast and exciting, but its definitely no comparison to Frag Chamber's style of play. Two completely different mind sets.
if it was my choice where i spawn. i would choose the upper sg half the time. with an sg in my hands i can actually get some kills.eXg. focus wrote:I know it's not impossible, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the shotgun spawn near the backpack.

Now, the MG spawn is fine, but that upper sg spawn is horrible.
I have to disagree with that. Usually when you spawn at the SG near backpack, your opponent usually spawns at low SG in which he would head for the RL and make an attempt at Mega, meanwhile the other SG guy is on his way to Mega as well OR to armor in which they would meet up and battle for mega. There is NOT an Ultra 1 sided initial spawn in Frag Chamber unless the guy is walking or you take some meaningless route. But that comes with experience.eXg. focus wrote: I know it's not impossible, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the shotgun spawn near the backpack.

i want to play the guy that YOU played in that match then. your right kev, i don't like frag chamber because i don't know how to play it. i find no fun in running around collecting s**t only to get my ass blown away by 2 rockets in 4 seconds. upper sg spawn = lose match for me. i like phrantic, never outgunned, delta labs, and edge 2 because they seem to be more fast paced.Kev wrote:I have to disagree with that.

I have been able to get ChainGun Mega and armor, giving my opponent access to 40 armor in shards, RL and Shotgun. CG has advantage, but without an RL in such a closed hallway map, its almost even. Either way you look at it, it all depends on where each player goes and how "good" they can use the resources they've acquired.
I don't know about you or anyone else, but if I'm holding an RL and have access to 40 armor in Frag Chamber I feel pretty safe... but thats just me.
