Hidden Op2 1337.
« on: July 01, 2004, 12:14:36 PM »
A couple weeks ago I played a 3vs3 with plymoth45. In that game everyone pretty much sucked. Even lev did horrible. It was really sad, since plymoth45 killed everyone on their team while we were all dead. :lol:

Anyway, based on how well he played I determined I'd have no trouble beating him + someone else, so I played him and ShadowAlpha yesterday on my worst map, pie, and lost.

Now I was doing fine vs SA, but plymoth45 stockpiled a huge army, then rushed and destroyed me. He played MUCH better than the first time I saw him, and I'm not even sure if I would have won on pie even if SA hadn't been there.

So, who else out there plays sucky, then goes into games on their best map and slaughters people? :P

I know I shouldn't have posted this in another reply, but it didn't seem right in the first post.

Betaray: I've noticed that betaray is better than he seems. He techs extremely fast, having thors by the time I have RPG's.(which is kinda sad, since I usually have RPG's at the same time lev does) :blink:

Despite this I've been able to beat him several times, because he never builds enough smelters, and just using pure rushing overwhelms his thors. I don't know how well he'd do on pie, but on la corrida....hope he doesn't build more than 3 smelters, or you'll be tiger-rushed early on.

Op2hacker: Op2hacker suffers the same poor fate as betaray. Dieing due to lack of smelters. He does however have a somewhat strategic sense, as in 2 of the games I played with him he was able to get around someone's base and blow their lab to bits. Quite impressive to me, since I've never managed it. Now if he'd only learn to build smelters at the start, he might survive longer. :heh:


Leviathan: Leviathan is insanely fast. If you've ever watched the video of him playing me, you'd cringe. I'd rate him at roughly 2x my speed. Leviathan gets his lab up fast and has all weapons research done by the time he attacks you, so you'd better have your research done too, or you're toast.

If you can't get your research done that fast, you'll need to slow him down. Stickies are ideal for this, as they can delay his 4 mics long enough for your 3 mics+gp to be upgraded.

Beware though, lev uses every nasty tactic in the book. He if gets a chance, he'll disable your mine, blow your ore smelters to bits, use emp on your vehicle plants, or send a bomb through the back of your base. The only way to beat him is to use his own tactics against him.(which I've yet to do :P )

Leviathan is strong early game, but if you can survive his attacks long enough, he's much weaker late game, by comparison. People like plymoth45 have shredded him with their late-game tactics, so if he neglects to kill you early on, you'd better be ready to disable him with some heavy firepower.

I've also noticed that he puts priority on keeping people from teching. If you go for the rare, he'll target you and blow you to bits, so you won't have a chance to use that rare on esg tigers. :P Be ready to defend yourself heavily if you're the first person to get rare ore.

Edit: Anyone else got profiles of players?

Ck9, I haven't watched you yet to determine your tactics. I'll need to play you a few times before I can say anything.

My tactics are sort of like that. I always gear for the late games, but use whatever avalable resources for getting units to prevent me from being rushed by Lev.

My resources, I do fine, my vehicle production, I only have two veh factories, but I use researching to make up for that sector.

However, my main short-coming is simply that Eden Lasers suck. Last game with Lev, we had an equivilant amount of lasers/microwaves. Yet his microwaves slaughtered my lasers. Eden players only have a really decent chance once they start getting EMP and Railguns, and very shortly thereafter Thors Hammer.

tip, if eden, always reshurch emp before railgun, it helps with your lazer defence more than a railgun would

I just hope they don't explode

I always mass-produce EMP Lynxes, since I found that, with the proper upgrades, a handful of EMP Lynxes can disable the entire enemy offense.

Okay, I have a couple of reviews:

xamlit: He is insanely fast. Possibly the fastest rusher in the history of op2. He has absolutely no defensive strategy. His wins are purely based on his ability to rush the crap out of you (literally). If your not dead by mark 200 then he will probably loose due to his terrible defensive stratgey. xamlit is most famous for his wins on the Money Pie map. He is known to get esg's before mark 110. He once beat the infamous rondt on that map 7 times to 3. He is an excellent team player. He gets kinda bossy because of his rush tendencies. He loves team games rather than 1 vs 1 games.

Favorite players to play against: Rondt, Leviathan, Mez.

Favorite Teamate : Plymoth45. I love playing on a team with him. He takes opportunities when they present themselves. Plymoth45, Baikon and I once played a 3 vs vs Rondt, Sorry_Panther and RaWizard. At game start we all thought were going to die. Opportunites presented itself and Baikon and I were able to take Sorry_Panther and RAWizard while Plymoth45 fought with rondt very fiercly. Plymoth45 whupped rondts butt. It was one of the greatest and funnest games I had ever played. We won that game but ever since then I love playing with Plymoth as a teammate.
