Dead and Buried, my best Rift/Touch experience yet.

Had a game of Dead and Buried tonight.
I cant believe how good this game is playing shootout with 3 other random guys (decent people too).
At first I sat on my chair playing, then found it wasn't really working as I couldn't take cover.
Then played on the floor and what a hoot, ducking down, kneeling, standing and hiding behind imaginary barricades, sticking my gun over the top or around the side and peering out before shooting these people.
Hit my desk a couple of times trying to pick up other weapons though, so wish I had a slightly larger area (about 3-4 foot square).
Obviously felt and looked like a right tool too, but I was alone so didn't matter.

Give it a go, it is fantastic and easily the best game I have played so far.

I haven't played at all this year, but I was addicted to this game for a long time. And yes, they did fix Spawn camping. Unless they made yet another update to make it worse, then Spawn camping was remedied properly.

Of course, I do remember people still complained of Spawn camping even after the invulnerability update. But it wasn't the game that was the problem, it was the Player. They didn't understand how invulnerability worked, and they made bad choices lol
  • When you die, you are invulnerable for 5-10 seconds (I forget the exact time)
  • Anyone shooting you during this period can't hurt you
  • The moment you shoot back you become vulnerable again
  • If you take no action after 5-10 seconds, you become vulnerable again
The problem a lot of people had is that when they would spawn and the enemy was shooting them, the newly spawned player would start firing their weapon back frantically. The moment they fired, they became vulnerable again. And because they were firing frantically, they would die since the enemy was usually aiming very well.

Smart players new how to handle the situation. When you respawn, don't pay attention to the enemies shooting you. You are invulnerable so let it happen. Look around and find cover. Get your weapon and plan your attack. Then you can start shooting from a safe location.

But people panic, lose their invulnerability, and die. Then they go online and say, "omfg this game sux cause haxx"

Yes, it’s still like that come to think of it!! I’ve been playing this game forever and have learned how spawn killing works!! So, I hardly ever die that way! Mwuahahahahahahah~! You should start playing again ZenBane??

The hax aren't the respawn problem I was referring to. I'm glad that's fixed. The hax were players leaning froward into crates and things and sticking their riffle out to kill you, while they themselves couldn't be killed..

Omg, I hate that as well! Unfortunately that has not been fixed yet... But it’s so annoying! I totally understand where you are coming from

I think you can shoot their hands/guns. It's annoying when it happens. And yes, it is long overdue to fix that problem. But... that's why I prefer to play with community members. I should host another Tournament soon. I loved that first D&B Community Tournament we held:

It was a Quick Draw Tournament. Best of 3 Rounds and each winner advanced. First place got a Steam gift card.
I would like to do a 2v2 Tournament though. Not sure how many people still play this though. Plus, people get shy lol
