Very cool idea. Each one here has the same. Who will do it?
I know that Proph (the nox clan) wanted to create some basic video tuts as well. Once I'll have time I would like to do some too.
Concerning training map - that idea was shouted as loud as possible. No human resources.
There is even possibility to have all games/clan matches to be recorded, but no one shares them.. Or just don't use the ability. Good demo can help a lot.
Probably there are some demos at
clan-wars forum.. But I'm not sure - haven't been there a long time too.
And basically I think if you are really into this game - you better join clan wars IRC channel to find good opponents, get answers and just discuss tactics ->
irc://irc.quakenet.org/#sg.warsAs well as the nox clan channel (they play a lot in the game) ->
irc://irc.quakenet.org/#q3.noxConcerning "knife" it is pretty easy, though, once you'll see it in action. You have to crouch each time when you are very close to the opponent. And stand back once you have feel that you won't hurt him more. It is like dancing - you go to him, crouch hit as much as you can, go back and stand again.
Be aware also that if opponent is newbie than it will be much easier for you to be as much closer as possible, since untrained players just can't get used to very close combats (the close the opponent the differ will be the mouse movement).
And don't get very far from the opponent if you have only knife left. You have to be always around him.
Also be aware that going with knife against shotgun is suicide. There is no way you can deliver 100hp damage for one knife hit.
To improve your aim/reactions - play any Quake instagib game (like Qlive, for example) (use the same mouse settings as in SG). Don't play much of BR if you have lack of time and want to improve your accuracy. You have to be concentrated all-the-time. During BR you'll waste a lot of time by watching others play while you won't be shooting at all.
Fast switching to weapons is done via simple binds as in any other Q game. There is a few weapons, so no big deal to bind them. And you may find somewhere around description of a trick to bind switching to two pistols by one key.
Have fun, be cool
