Detailed Weapon Info Thanks to B0rsuk

repeat - in miliseconds, less is better.
damage - with one shot
reload - obvious
dps - damage dealt per second (one clip); how much damage a weapon can theoretically deal during one second.
That's enough for now. Damage/second gets more complex as you count reload time and possible battery pack.
empties clip: how long does it take to use up your clip. Low value is bad, it means you have to reload more often.

FLAMER

repeat: 200
dps: 100
projectile speed: 200

LUCIFER
calculate it yourself, too complex.
damage: UpTo265 or 27
radius: 150 or 75
----------------
Human weapons from highest dps to lowest, excluding grenade and lucifer:

PAINSAW 200
FLAMER 100
PULSE RIFLE 90
CHAINGUN 75
SHOTGUN 56
RIFLE 55 1/2
LASGUN 45
MASS DRIVER 38
BLASTER 15

Keep in mind that reload times were not included in dps values. Rifle deals more than lasgun but reloads quite often and is probably less acurate.Another big advantage is that it's quite silent, you often don't realize you're being fired at until you start taking damage.

Strafe Jumping is very handy to use while running from aliens. I got it pretty much covered and was looking for a guide to show you guys. I found one but I think my way is better then the guide:

Guide:

Guide

Arch's small guide:

1). Keep holding your run button (standard X) and move to a gap.
2). Hit the jump button ONCE (standard [space]) at the end of the edge to jump.
3). At the top of the jump move your mouse in a other direction (While pressing Strafe Button) and let go of the run button.

DONE! =D

Flamer tip:
You can bounce the flame to add more damage.
Ex. Shoot in about 45 degree angle between wall and om in atcs.

Well, when you've reached the last of your ammo (9?), you can just hold it. At any other point, you can hold your charge by waiting until the beep and pressing the middle mouse button. (Romeo, this won't work for you. Razz
