Hey guys,

when i see anybody run off the break they always slide, but most of the time when they slide the get shot in the mask of slide to far and get shot.

But i sprint to the bunker and then stop right behind it and have never gotten shot.

Is it just depending on luck and skill of players of does this happen often?

and does anyone ever do a GOOD superman dive over a snake, afraid ive only seen fails lol..

Who have you been playing? Try that against Shockwave and you may aswell just run straight to the deadbox :)

when runnin keap your head up if you dont see any paint alot of the time there no need to slide(discluding the snake) however i like to "baseball slide" so when u put your foot down it mean you can get your gun up alot quicker, same with the hip slide if im going to the conner

i use hip slides for offest bunkers and baseball slide for corners as the baseball slide allows you to slide quicker and pop up sooner where as the hip slide is really good for offsets as you dont need as much momentum to get you into your bunker. I only superman when my snake player gets shot out as i play corner it rarely looks good to be honest but if it has to be done it has to be done. Main thing to do is practice me and a few team members spent 3 days in a row sliding for 3 hours just practicing and on the third day they were pretty much perfect but never settle for what you believe to be perfection as it can always be quicker etc.
