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 hear ya. 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.

I think you might have missed my point a little. Sure I've stopped
because of cheating. But I've also stopped because of the pointless
bickering, the idiotic admins and then childishness.

I do understand all that. It was assuming to watch an admin who actually
used their power to defeat evil :)

Hmmm. I might live to regret this post but...

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 :)

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.

Safer?

I'm glad you're using smiley's :)

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. :)

Nukey Brown - once held a mate and a bucket after he drank half a dozen too
many of them :) Prefer rum/coke (Capt. 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>

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

Yeah - me is pussy cat really. Just have a tendency for being overly direct
and candid :)

Try a multiplayer LAN game with a couple of friends.  Even better, try
some Sven Co-op.  Doesn't get any better than that!

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 ;-)

I do agree it is nice to bash the stupid ones occasionally. I just give
up on the whole lot, period.

I stopped but am back in it again when my friend can run a server on his
cable.
Only place to play is where you have friends to slay. :-)

I wouldn't worry about it, your connection being as 1337 as it is they
probably just assumed you lagged out.
