Trent Curry - 23 Nov 2003 07:45 GMT I was playing CS a little while ago, on cs_rubble, I was on CT, the person in question was on T. The guys's name was ZippyBob45. He said he was going afk for a little while to eat dinner. I got killed the following round and I was randomly specing people in 1st person, and ended up looking through ZippyBob, wh ooh so conviently started following one of my fellow CT's perfectly, while standing in place. He would just constantly aim at him lol.
I let the admin know, who was also dead on my team. He specced him , but instead of banning him on the spot, he used adminmod to rebind lal his keys *like a, d, s, w, space, u, y, ...) to say random stuff "Hey, I'm so fUx1nG 1337!!!! I cn use an aimb0t!!!" and other well thought up quips. lol.
Then 10 minutes later when the bum came back the hysteria ran rampad lol. After about 5 more minutes of that noob trying to figure out why he couldnt move or shoot, and yet follow us perfectly, he got banned.
Beautiful, eh? :)

I stopped playing CS for a little bit due to many good servers being overrun by lameshtis like him. It seems to me now that one can find more decent servers that arent so infested by am, and anyone who is using them can be seen through spec, so why even bother? Its not as if you can blame a 180 spin around when you are afk on lag lol.

But I've also stopped because of the pointless bickering, the idiotic admins and then childishness.

It was assuming to watch an admin who actually used their power to defeat evil :)

You all use a different language when you starting talking about multiplayer stuff. I can't understand much of it and I won't be alone. Every now and then I think about trying this multiplayer lark just to see what the fuss is about. Then I read these posts in an alternative language and it puts me right off. I can see it now - the newbie lamely stood there getting shot at who doesn't understand the game much less the language; the newbie who breaks one of the sacred rules and finds himself at the mercy of a server controller who wasn't breast fed as a baby and has "issues" that require him to exercise power and control whenever possible in a futile attempt to make up for the lack of control he has over his life. I'll stick to the single player methinks - safer :) It's also interesting how you all turn on people who do something wrong. Very vicious. Mimicks the pack behaviour seen in many animals and in our early ancestors. Scary :)

Scary :) That is pretty much how newbies seem to be recieved in online games these days unfortunately (at least ones with large followings anyway). There are some things which you can never know about how an online game works, unless you have played it before... yet most people who play them seem to forget about the learning curve for newbies and just assume that they're deliberately messing you about.
about 6 ago I experiened this in C&C generals when trying that online for the first time.. the method of setting up an online game is different to any other i'd played before (and i've played all the C&C series online).. constantly yelled at by people who were using the most incoherent shorthand possible to "remind" me to do something that I had no idea i needed to do.. or how to do it.
To make things worse, Generals has it's own built-in ratings system... and noone wants to be on the same team as a "n00b".. so, if you pick the hosts' team, you get kicked out... and if an experienced player joins, the host threatens/forces them to join their team, else he gets kicked out.... and then the match starts when you eventually have a team of highly decorated Generals veterans, versus a team of newbies... I bet you can guess who wins! .. Great game, shame about the selfish idiots who play it.

Seriously. Multiplayer is very good fun, at it's best it's social, at it's worst it's depreciating.
It's up to you whether you want to invest the effort to find those who are the former.

Just a thought, Sneezy - If you ever want to try multiplayer HL, why not join the AGHL DM Bash next week? .... Civilian_Target will be your server admin who may or may not have been breastfed as a baby, and the only totally foreign language will be via Strider's microphone after he's had 6 bottles of newcastle brown. :)

Morgans not that Lambs muck) or vodka/7UP. No ice. Give me details of the said bash and I'll do my research on this online gaming lark. Not sure that my aged PC will hack it though. Just had to revert back to the old drivers for my Voodoo 3 cos the supposed new ones don't work in DirectX mode (rules out Heart of Evil mod and NOLF). Need a job so I can get a nice shiny new PC :( Spend 6 yrs educating myself and no jobs at the end of it. Life's not fair <sob, sniff>

Sneezy - 24 Nov 2003 00:34 GMT > Sneezy proclaimed... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > What aspect of computer gaming do you find dangerous :) Well, I have a habit of making a violent chopping movement with my right hand (mouse hand) when I jump. Occasionaly I dispatch the mouse and more than once I've cleared my desk, including assorted glass items and liquids
:) Examples include dealing with the green zombies in the original Wolfenstein (esp. in the ivy mazes) and the lopers in the new Wolfenstein. The sudden shock could be fatal for someone with a heart condition. Imagine it - "Cause of death: Half-life" :D

Sven Coop rulezzz :-) Still waiting for the new version 3.0 release - damn it looks pretty awfull good Improved physics etc Read the full story at http://www.svencoop.com They have some rather short videos
I think the delay is caused by problems running the mod on steam - argghhh, I hate steam ;-)
