Overall, I don't think the videos are as good as I was hoping they would be when I started making them. Quite a lot of things I did not get the chance to mention, and some parts which I did mention could have been presented better. Nevermind.
DXMP Beginner Guide #1. Aug Setup:
This video shows how to set up your Augmentations for MultiPlayer gaming.
You have to pick each Aug that you want to use.
The Augs that appear on the top of the list on the right, will be the Augs you start off with.
The video also shows how to configure your Player Setup (Player Name, Connection Type & Team Model).
DXMP Beginner Guide #2. Controls:
This video shows how to set up your keys for enhanced MultiPlayer gaming.
You can change the Keys you use for activating/deactivating each of your Augs from the menu screen, as shown in the video.
Remember:
F3 = Energy Shield or Combat Strength
F4 = Regeneration or Radar Transparency
F5 = EMP Shield or Environmental Resistance
F6 = Ballistic Protection or Targetting
F7 = Speed Enhancement or Power Recirculator
F8 = Vision Enhancement or Cloak
F9 = Aggressive Defense System or Spy Drone
F10 = Microfibral Muscle or Run Silent
F11 = Aqualung
Obviously, you do not need to set it the same way that I have. This is mainly showing how to set it, by giving the example of the configuration that I use.
Try to set the most important Augs (for your style) closest to your movement buttons, so they're easiest to press. Because you will be pressing them quite frequently. Once you have set them to your fancy, it will take time to get used to them so just keep practicing
(Note: if you pick Power Recirculator, you do not need to set a key for it since it will turn on automatically when you turn on another Aug.)
DXMP Beginner Guide #3. Basics:
This video shows basics for MultiPlayer gaming, including: HUD info, skills, weapon classes, bypassing panels, lockpicking, computer hacking.
The sounds becames all buzzy towards the end, sorry about that.
DXMP Beginner Guide #4. Using Augs:
This video shows generally (i'm no expert) how to utilise your Augmentations for MultiPlayer gaming.
The gametype here is BTDM (where you start with all your augs & skills on level 3), and I recommend all new players to play BTDM so you can get used to using your augs.
You should get into a habit of turning your augs on & off many times, you must never run out of bioenergy.
The gameplay shown is in slow motion, so you can more easily see what is going on. The 'press <button> to turn off Aug' message is repeated quite often actually, just to let you know that every time it says 'Speed Enhancement Activated' or 'Ballistic Protection Activated' or 'Aggressive Defense System Deactivated' etc. it means I've pressed a button on my keyboard.
Also, there's no need to point out that my aim is not good in this video, because I know that.
DXMP Beginner Guide #5. Basic Aiming:
This video gives basic tips & info on how to aim for MultiPlayer gaming.
The scenes are not really good examples and I sort of rushed making this one, but there are still some good comments which new players should consider when they're playing.
'Aiming' really is something which comes from practice, playing a bit of 0Aug is also helpful, but you must remember that augged gaming is quite different and you will have to adjust to the pace of the game if you've only played in Non-Aug servers.
Sorry about those X symbol thingies, they're a bit.. off. heh.
DXMP Beginner Guide #6. ATDM Gameplay:
This video shows general ATDM gameplay with annotations.
Was a bit lucky to get an easy first kill, because I'll say getting a streak is one of the hardest parts of the game. When you have all your augs & the main skills you need, then its much easier to survive.
Just practice and you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. But don't get down/upset if your on the receiving end of a beating, it happens to everyone from time to time.
(and good acting btw, fooled me
