Just curious.

I like to play my infiltrator with the assault rifle(HEAT/EOC just doesn't fit my style), I use the hologram support item in conjunction with the infiltrator's invisibility, and I like to run into corners and 180 when I need to repair.

What about you guys?

Retro-rocket landings. Oh, and dramatic mid-air poses when I'm first on TDM and we're about to win the match.

For every enemy I down, I compose a poignant haiku, write it on a wonton wrapper with food dye, and then consume it.
This practice is in accordance to the ancient Scandanasian ritual of taking an enemy's flesh, and eating it with miso soup and pickled herring, to gain their strength and ward off evil spirits with terrible scented breath.

Wow I never thought about doing that, especially riding the battleship :blink: How do you even get that high? Now I want to try that, but I don't know how to properly climb up any tower of any map...

Haha yeah I do that too if I win in DM, I usually activate invisibility just to make it interesting ^_^

When I'm in a hopeless siege match I sneak up into a remote area in the enemies half and see how long it takes until someone discovers me.

I also do the retro-rocket landings when I fall. I think I started doing it to avoid fall damage, but now I do it because I (probably mistakenly) feel like it helps preserve momentum so I don't smack into the ground and get that half second where I can't move/have 0 momentum, so I can get going faster. But that's probably placebo effect and there really is no difference. At the very least I can pretend this is KSP and Jeb is the one piloting my mech so that it's his fault when I boost straight into a group of enemies that I know I have no chance of surviving through.

Damn you jeebbbb!!!

My fav is aiming up and to the left... while looking at a blue wall for no reason but to do it.

That's right... look at my beautiful mech dancing in the air for no reason.

Sometimes I do enjoy looking at the Skymaps too much; I've to admit that.

Have you seen those skies? There's a lot of cool & new stuff up there! :D

On the Headset whenever someone on my team kills the opposing teams best player I say, "Yes, you killed xxxxxxx good kill!"

I also like to wander off from my team, find the enemy team, kill one of them, kite the enemy back to my team, and watch and laugh as my team rips them all apart because I led them into a trap.  Then I shout to myself, "It's a Trappppp!"  Like Admiral Ackbar.

I like to roll up to the noodle shop on Prosk in the top left corner of the map, and order beef pho with a side of spring rolls and a large kool-aid, mid deathmatch.

I think I'm the only one who does. The food is great, but their marketing is attrocious ,you see.

Seeing how a team mate is taking care of the team that way is something that makes me feel cool. And I like to drop orbs and attach shields to friendlies when I can as well.

Well.. now comes to my mind a guy to who I attached a shield while he was repairing his mech. He was yelling at me something like "Want me to be a TOW beacon or what?!" ... lol. :D

I'm, so to speak, a little bit more cautious now on. :P

Sometimes, I sneak up on lone enemies and just hug their behinds until they notice me. I think 3 or 5 minutes of solid ninjaing is my record so far.

Similarily, when I'm on the losing side of a hopeless siege match and the enemy spawncamps my teammates while I'm somehow NOT being spawncamped and somewhere else on the map, I like to sit among the enemy team and watch the show.

When I jump in my brawler in a team game, I use my turret mode to provide cover for my sniper buddy, or in a choke point, drop into turret mode to guard a buddy repairing like a bro.
