You must have missed the Fox vs cl0ck game on Galang from CPL winter where cl0ck just about only used the nailgun. Sadly Fox didn't seem to mind taking a bit of damage from it and just shafted/railed cl0ck to death every time.
So what is up with the nailgun? Is it any good other than if you catch your opponent off guard in a corner or for defensive spam? And if its no good wtf is up with cl0ck. I know he's not a particularly bright fellow, but still its strange that he uses it so much. FYI, I dont duel myself, but I love watching demos.
Well it is powerful in the situations you said (And to spam at people chasing as 1 hit = 30hp). cl0ck said to djwheat the day after the fox game that he is normally a "monster" with it. I don't know why he thinks that and it is clearly not a very good strategy.
That said the weapon is still an utter joke and in TDM is way more powerful
he even used it at mid-long range several times where i was going "why the fuck isn't he railing there?"... it really is a shit strategy to use that weapon so much...
I don't know what you're talking about, he clearly showed that he was a monster with the nailgun in this demo. he took chaoticz from 100 to 0 several times in a fraction of a second.
Pretty good game.. I was lucky & got no lag with my demo.
cl0ck seem to use the surprise tactic alot by waiting around corners for chaoticz & then jumping on him. It seemed to work for awile but cha0 picked up on it & adjusted nicely by anticipating this when things looked too easy.
cl0ck should of went for more item control as his RG, LG & NG seem to be on. Cha0 played a much better all around game & stayed steady even when cl0ck was nailing him with some nice shots.
