SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: 1)The rockets you pick up and the ones you shoot aren't
: really the same ;-P You pick green ones and shoot
: white and red ones.

That's because the rocket is moving away from you so fast the reflected light gets red-shifted.

: 2)Bots can pretty insanely instant-switch weapons. One
: bot on Wolf's server on Waldo shooted a grenade to my
: left, a rocket at my face, and a grenade to my right
: in fast succession, from the high ledge. Needless to
: say I didn't survive...

This is porobably due to lag/packet loss. It's nothing MR-specific.

: 3)As I have already stated, bots don't move while
: reloading, but bots also don't know when they depleted
: their ammo... and become siting ducks.

I think this has to do with the reload anims not being interruptable. My observation is that it mostly happens in situations where the bot would be trying to switch from a ranged attack to a melee attack, but instead has to wait for the SPNKR to reload. I haven't looked for it specifically, but I'd imagine the interruptable reload that will be released in 1.1.1 will fix a lot of this.

: 4)I have already talked to Wolf about the bots' ability
: to open locked doors, but one new thing I noticed is
: that their dead limbs can also open doors!!! So, if I
: understand, they just open doors by proximity, right?

Yup.
