What is the best way to defend against the BFG in a deathmatch?
AVOID THE DIRECT HIT, AND GET OUT OF THE CONE OF DAMAGE. (OK, so it ain’t Rocket Science.) This requires, of course, that you know where the cone of damage actually is. That, in turn, requires that you know where your attacker is and in what direction he fired the weapon. That, in turn, requires that you know the weapon was even fired at all. Which, in turn, may be difficult against a player who has mastered the Silent BFG trick (See section 4D). It still helps if you are playing the game with a stereo sound card and headphones.

You must understand completely how the weapon works before any avoidance technique would be meaningful. So if you skipped ahead to this section, go back and read the gory details.
