New Punkbuster versus Running Crooked

[gowhitesox99 Profile]

Borderline whine/statement.

Ok fine so punkbuster changed and me along with a bunch of other people had to darken our maps (and increase my lag ten-fold) , no problem.

So what is the deal with this whole crooked running thing that I have seen all the time in the year I have been playing? Is it a cheat or not? in my opinion it's pretty hard to get a headshot when you can't see his head



I'm not saying it is a cheat, i am curious if it is or not.

the crooked player thing is a bug in wolf. basically it happens when you are killed and fall into something..( a wall, a table.. ect.) and are revived. some people take advantage of this and do it on purpose (playdead into the table in wr) to be harder to hit. so technically its a bug.. but its exploited

I use r_intensity 2 and find it brightens things up sufficiently to make the game enjoyable. PB cuts off over 4--and that's pretty high. Anything higher and you're eyes are going to be shot in a few years.

The crooked thing was covered ages ago in some threads. It is a glitch and is a kickable offence if exploited on purpose. It can happen by mistake. Not so bad these days--you'll just catch the odd person walking side-ways. Before, when it was really exploited, people would get their avatars 'spinning' horizontal to the ground so fast you couldn't see what side they were on. That's when a decision was made to not allow it.
