But remember, some maps (e.g. Desert War) have very slight fog, that doesn't affect gameplay, but makes the map much more nicer. And note, that in [[BZFlag 2.99]] fog is enforced. | First of all, disable rain and fog, so you will be able to see further. This is especially handy with laser flag.

Now lets turn to textures. You need them, except of one case. If the game is about a dark (black) labyrinth, where you can't tell wall from the ceiling, turn off textures and turn on lightning --- that will help you greatly.

Then use 4 and 5 keys (or shift plus wheel) to make him coincide with a special tick on the radar. So now you are aiming at him. Then jump and when you'll see camper, shoot. If you are lucky he won't be able to react fast enough or shoot you. |
