The Missing Element of Fun

[cateye]

Fun is what you make it.

For example, as is certainly no surprise to anyone with their eyes wide open, MsB uses an undetectable OMG SEKRIT HAX, but all it allows her to do is to one-man me with the panzer, over and over again, as I run through the trenches. Rather than become angry, I've accepted my role as her panzer-headshot-pincushion-non-man-sissy-bitch, and I gleefully accept each lost life as an integral part of the "RTCW Experience." Sometimes I wet my pants a little when it happens I'm so happy.

So really, it all comes down to your attitude: Be safe, play hard, say no to drugs, and have fun, you crazy kids!

I'm sorry that Myers feels that he needs to walk away from the game.

No player, no matter how good, can't be overcome by teamwork and playing smart.

As for hackers, I think I already answered that question many times before...I don't believe anyone I've seen on the server is 'hacking'. Maybe they just don't use when I'm there or whatever, but certainly noone ever brought me any evidence of it. You can spectate/demo any of these so called hackers and if you see something you don't think is right, send it to me. I'll look at it.

Warpig, it's understandable that you think these players are cheating but I think a lot of that is because you prefer to use all default settings, which is far too dark to be able to see anything at a distance. You should consider adjusting your settings a bit...a fast computer/video card and good headset will make a major difference to your gameplay...Just a thought...I think it will change your perception. Frankly, I can't believe you play as well as you do with default settings.

Meyer, why don't you simply play on another server ?

To be fair Slaughter has awesome aim. It's just a shame he uses it to shoot at people's feet....

The toes need attention too

For some reason i think i'm older than Meyer.

Great advice man, i was thinking the same thing with all those other servers on the list, o wait....

No fucking shit, and i'm sick of hearing it in almost every thread.

What a joke! Like 2 days ago, Remedy was Allies in the backroom of the WR alone. An Axis flamer had him pinned in the corner for about 5 seconds, couldn't even see him for the flames! Yet, he fired of a couple rounds and killed me, another med in the backroom, and 2 meds in WR and walked out unscathed.......Must be a glitch like he always have. Or the player that jumps over the wall to the net at radio tower, and in mid-air fires off a 3 round burst and kills me at sniper hill. ALL HEADSHOTS! Lucky I guess. How about the guy that runs the docs up radio stairs and survives 4 direct nades and a panzer (besides all the Axis bullets) and runs in Radio like nothing happened. Always the same players have that Wolfenstein 'Glitch'. I've spec'd so many snipers here it's not funny. Like the ones that fire a round 15 feet from a player and get a Kill/Gib all at once then their scope snaps the another enemy thats hidden, only to shoot him when he emerges from cover. A mauser SNAPPING to enemy's heads is not a glitch! AND it's not skill. I posted here because Warpig is one of the 'Original' Wolf players and he knows the MECHANICS of the game. To be an admin, one has to know the mechanics of this game.....sorry to say that a lot of admins here are amazed at a player getting lots of kills but have no idea how Wolfenstein works. THERE IS NO MORE PUNKBUSTER!!!! Admins have to use common sense and knowlege of the game. MAA, I refuse to believe that you can't log on invisible and see what these hacks are doing to the server. That being said......now you can BASH ME ALL YOU WANT because I call it the way it is (The known hackers here surely will) BUT YOU WILL NEVER BULLSHIT ME. Or the other 98% of the legit players here.

Some players use centerview and a low pitch to keep their shots at headshot level. It's lame, yes, but there isn't any satisfactory way to disable it in shrub.

As for these situations you're describing here...a demo would be better. Not very hard to do. /record and /stoprecord ... Like I said, I don't have a problem looking at them.

I use Punkbuster mostly for the admin features. It does still work though in detecting cheats and is good for enforcing cvars. Are there some cheats it can't catch? I'm sure there are. Even if it was still actively updated for RTCW, many private cheats would go undetected. Are you suggesting we'd be better off disabling it? Should I force Evenbalance to actively develop it for RTCW? Or are you just trying to convince me that it's useless? I'm not sure what it is you expect me to do about it. I'm not bullshitting anyone. Not what really sure what you're referring to. I simply don't see the same unexplainable super playing you do.

There are some very good players, yes, but it is what it is. They're better than I am at the game. There's not much point in lying to yourself or trying to explain it away as hacks. It's probably not any different than getting your ass kicked at golf by Tiger Woods or something.

If I was on under a different name, would you even know it?

[=TAO=WARPIG Profile]

Being better isn't the concern here, everyone who still plays knows what is what when it comes to being killed or killing. Sure nobody is going to win every single gunfight. It's more about shots being landed to the head from ridiculous points on the maps. The probability of it being successful from the same handful of players nearly 100% of the time is astronomical imo. There's is no way that a human being could have that reaction time...nevermind 5 of them on the same server.

I just hate to see a guy who loves the game as much as Meyer call it quits. When obviously something isn't right.

demos? just replay any map where someone gets over 100 kills, that's the only demo you'll need.

Does anyone have any connections with people from PB? I dealt with a few in the past and they seem like real nice guys who like to help. Maybe if asked for one last update..they just might give it a thought.

If they do this with the latest info then I'll never bring up hacking again. And if they do end up updating wolf then it I think the server is gonna see a few people not landing every single shot to the head anymore and taking damage unlike the rest.

This is my main jist of this problem. You take a player like Macabre for example. He can out-gun me 75% of the time but I never feel like I was fucked over during the battle. I know he is not a hack just from how his game reacts with mine. There's many players just like him.
These suspect players (not just by me) just aren't the same as the other 95% of the players. imo it isn't skill that makes their games the way it is...it's something else.

Great advice man, i was thinking the same thing with all those other servers on the list, o wait....

On 1.4 there are "Killing Time" server, which have fast fire and nice maps rotation, and the Mad server.
There is still an active beach server on the demo version of the game (with drop reload). It's fast and easy to download the demo, just google it.
Finally there are lots of great servers on 1.0 (most dm base, some obj and osp)
