In Response To: Re: Thoughts on AAs (esp. Bubble Shield and Hologr (Duncan) : I agree, it probably will be fairly easy to spot a hologram if you take the : time to notice how it's walking in a straight line. I can imagine it won't : be as useful in levels like Blood Gulch where most of the encounters are : medium to long range, where you'd have time to pick your shots. : ...but if you're inside a room and someone walks in the door from outside, : you're not going to take 2 seconds to determine that it's a hologram, : you're going to start firing immediately, which gives the other guy an : advantage if you have to reload. : Rocket campers with twitchy fingers are going to waste their first shot on a : hologram as soon as it comes around a corner. People using the Grenade : Launcher are going to die reloading when the real enemy follows his : hologram into a room. : And even the situation from the Deja View level will work well for the : hologram. Sure, the sniper might quickly determine it's a hologram he's : shooting at, but that split second of doubt might be enough to allow his : target to escape in the opposite direction (especially if he, too, is : walking in a straight line and not jumping). They may give the hologram a bit of AI, not to shot or anything, but to go around obstacles and not move in such a straight line.
