Ghost Question

Ok I just got Ghost level 1. My question is if I have ghosted already, is it wise to commit suicide if it is lets say wave 13ish? I see this as a plust, because I could get 2 more lives for the last 3 waves. Then I see the downside which is the killing spree ends. Also I would assume I would just go into command line and do the suicide and then I am all set? I would hate to use the deemer to kill myself due to fact I do not want to take others with me.

Ghost counter is reset every wave.

If you've Ghosted, wave starts anew, you get a new Ghost.

What Bot said.

Also, Ghost's power with deemers: if you suicide with a deemer and you ghost instead of dying, it doesn't hurt others.

HOWEVER, there is a bug: if you fire a super weapon, then die, then the explosion lands while you are ghosting, it counts as a suicide no matter if you would have actually killed yourself with the super or not. I've 'suicided' with super weapons when I was on the other end of the map when I died.

Ohhh good to know. Thank you bot and moof!

Another good trick is to suicide when you are very low on health and are nearing the end of a wave. But, be careful because if you are ghosting between the start of waves you can be killed automatically.

Not sure about the ghost/deemer tandem. Do we get the points from the kills from the deemer while we are ghosting?

I'm pretty sure you still get points from it. and as for the suicide thing..I think you get a suicide counted no matter what..everytime I look I have one. Unless that's been fixed...

Hobo - I was differentiating between a suicide in your stats and a suicide that will kill other players.

I apparently don't understand what you were getting at then...that's Hobo for ya

You can hurt or kill others even if you ghost off a suicide deemer... I've been in the middle of a ghost and had the "thanks Fodder" phrase uttered to me.

If your ghosting through something, i.e. a mountain or wall, when the next wave starts you will lose a ghost life. If you're in a clear area you'll just start the wave from there.
