USH'S MATRIX GAME- Zion play thread.

"Is it possible to hit an Agent with a high powered sniper rifle? I have heard that those bullets move too fast for even Agents to dodge. But that may have been just a rumor though."

"Not a chance," says Dallas. "Agents have highly sophisticated threat routines built in; they know when a weapon is pointed at them and they can react when the trigger is pulled."

"Hey Dallas, I have a question. What would swords do if they came in contact with their limbs? I've never seen it happen, not even around Mors. Also, is it possible to even hit Agents with bullets?"

Ares restrains from asking questions about Neo.

"You can hit an Agent with a bullet if there are so many bullets in one area it doesn't matter how fast they dodge. We are talking something more than hand-held arms here. Nothing we could call tactically viable. A pointblank shot would do it as well; I do not recommend trying.

"Agents don't tend to bleed but a sword cut would hurt them."

"Interesting," Ares says. "Erm...why don't they bleed? Also, would they leave their occupied bodies if they lost a limb or their head?"

"They don't bleed like you or I becayse their physiology is different inside the Matrix. As for leaving their occupied bodies, they still have to follow the same rules as the rest of us the rules of when a human should and should not be dead. Losing a head normally does the trick."

If we were to cut off their arm, is it theoretically possible that we could beat them? I mean, if we were to say, Clever fox around them and slice with our Katana at the same time, could we not beat them? Of course i'm not gonna try it, but, theoretically, is it physically possible? I've been around an Agent or two in my lifetime, so i know to run like there's no tomorrow, i'm just questioning for the lil ones...

If you have cut off their arm you have pretty much won the fight.

This has never happened.

*turns to the kids*...And probably won't. An agent is not going to sit idly by while you pull out your sword and chop off their limb. Remember that. And don't EVER try to fight them, you get away from them and get out of the Matrix, understood?

"Greanades? Sence they have an are of attack, or a blast radius, could it be concevable to kill and agent with a granade?"

BTW, this works in ETM, go to the factory level, get the wierd grenae launcher, flip on infinite ammor, and when u get chased by the agents in the end of the level, fire away and u can kill them, even get their guns, it works with the run from Smith level too

you would have to set the grenade to go off almost instantaneously, otherwise they WILL move away, and then there is the point of making sure it doesn't hit YOU as well...so, not concievable to try.

"Well if ur being chaced by one, then pull the grenade, throw backwards, and run like hell, should slow them down, no??"
*at JediHDM's character*

"I'm not sure...I've never tried it..." Ares says. "Probably won't try now...I've only run from one Agent, and I've only been confronted by one Agent. It was that one called..er...Smith...the one that..." Ares starts to finish, but shuts up.

i think i would follow Ares' example and NOT TRY, because it is too risky..

What would YOU do if a grenade came your way? The Agent can do anything you can.

Run. Kick it away. But mostly run.

I have NEVER seen an Agent resort to explosives, EVER. They will shoot at you, they will use Martial Arts against you, but never have i seen or heard of an Agent using Grenades or even something like a stun-gun before, so i dont think you will have to worry about that. However, if one IS thrown at you, get away from it, as fast as you can. If you are in an alley, and the grenade is overthrown, either find an alleyway, or go as far around as possible, but run. FAST

"Obviously, Coeus," Ares says. "Dallas's point was that if you throw a grenade at an Agent, they will do the same thing you would do if a grenade was thrown at you. Running. Avoiding it."

"Good point. But my comment still stands, it would be a good idea to drop a grenade behind u when running away from an agent. It would slow him down enough for you to escape."

Ah. Well, then. I see, but my point is still valid. Not that i am trying to undermine the Captain. Oh, forget it...
