Aside from all the trolling stuff I say ingame and sometimes on the forums, I decided to share this awesome moment with you (complete) idiots. Behold, the next best camping piece of *****(fill in lovely words ) turned one year old already today and I could not be more proud of her. She is literallly my everything, outshining dad in everything she does and she is already stocking up on tent supplies to kick your sorry asses butts. Had a great day, great weather, and more important...the best little individual on my side this entire day to celebrate her first birthday Hope you idiots/morons/lunatics have a great weekend and I shoot you soon

Gorgeous, and the babies cute too

awesome! does that make @Ruggerxi the XI godfather?

You are a true software engineer... BTW, If no one told you before - thank you for the work you put into this mod. You're right, everyone here probably has no idea of who you are. I don't. I only vaguely remember you from years ago when I was playing and you first created the MW2 mod. It was cool as shit and has given life to this old ass game over the years. As much as we hate to admit it, the game will die out eventually (like my beloved UT2k4). There will probably be a few that will always play but many of us have come and gone over the years of playing. I even took a 5 year break playing this game before. Remember the days everyone just ran around with the SteyrAUG (or whatever it was called)? Some of us got so dominating it lost some of the fun after awhile. But then it changed... and I believe updating and changing the mod over time will keep it alive. I believe keeping this a sort of 'community project' will keep people playing longer. Every change over the years has been loved and hated. Surely you experience this in your regular work too. Cannot please everyone. Don't let the people hating get you down. There is always a boss that had the final say no matter what everyone else wanted. If you would have kept the mod to yourself and not allowed anyone else in back in the day in I doubt it would have lasted this long with the kind of popularity it has had.

As always too late for me, I'm watching telly with my wife, sipping my cocoa, and putting my slippers on. And as always wondering if there's any chance of a shag? Don't know why I still wonder ? Dream on Rob

Well, Sourtap has a lovely daughter! Who Knew? No wonder you haven't been gaming as much, you have an adorable cutie to run around and watch over! CONGRATS!!! ENJOY!!! (They grow up super fast, so cherish every moment.)

@Sourtap Does she lag when riding the trike? J/k, She's really a happy soul.

Omgggggg! She is so dang adorable. Happy Birthday young lady. Awwww gosh. She's just so precious. What a proud daddy moment. Okay I gotta stop gushing. Happy Birthday

Happy birthday!

Gorgeous !!! Thanks for sharing!

The attack car's health. Not sure what is going on but when I run around with an attack car I get destroyed immediately when someone shoots at me. But I don't seem to be able to do the same when a car approaches me. Even when I hit it. Are people getting headshots on my car or something in order to kill it immediately? The ones I drive around seem weak.

It's Goose Island this week Rob, long week @ work. Sharedraft & 12hr days. Off for the weekend! Lawnmowing 2morrow & fishfry Sunday with the lads.

@BlackDogs2 Apologize for the delay. After some review of when this ban was placed, and discussion with the admin team, we feel this should have been a temp ban at the time so for this time, we have lifted your ban. I do urge you to play with respect towards other players. We are not against some friendly banter or the odd jab if you may, but we don't want any harassment of any kind here and if an admin or moderator requests a player to cool it down, then I suggest they do. This goes for all players, members and guests alike. We welcome you to come play, we're open to everyone, but lets all remember, it's just a game. You should be free to play within the hour. Thank you and please follow our rules of conduct.

She's precious! Happy first birthday

The smr is supposed to be the g36. Which it was until these supposedly self-proclaimed good players wanted their cheat gun. So any complaints, take it up with them not that it will do any good. The hk is the m4. Make the smr the m4 and the hk the g36, whatever floats your boat. Seems some still won't get it into their brains. This is not a community project. Most here did nothing but play it. Which is fine. It was never something I demanded or expected of anyone. Developers still have the final say. Whether it's free or you paid $100. Your stupid comment about me not playing? Leaving aside not wanting to be around the toxic people around. It was because I was using my limited time modding, testing, bug hunting, and maintaining. For you. The arrogance and self-entitlement around is staggering. I have been told that I was the only major cod4 modder still left. Everyone else got sick of the selfishness among players and clans and left. In any case, there are a lot of posts here that need to be copied and sent to all the former modders around so they can have a good laugh.

@Ruggerxi is right, you can never please them all and there will always be a group bitching and complaining. I'm glad I don't have a say in these things and I respect him for taking the time to do all this. But over the years the changes/updates that took place on the FT servers seem to came into life because people on the server getting owned by better players. Isn't that just part of life, you participate in sports/hobbies/jobs and there are people that you beat, there are people that are better than you and a few that absolutely kick your ass. The same people that are kicking your ass are worse in a different field, and if you would encounter them there, you would be the one kicking their butts. I played this game for 14 years now and became pretty decent at it (dunno about the learning curves of the majority of idiots here how long it will take to improve) but in my opinion, if there are any updates being done, it should be to prevent the mod from getting boring to play after all those years, with constantly the same perks/streak rewards etc. And that update came in some time ago (with the defrost car, heist etc. etc.). Even though I didn't really like that update to begin with, it changed up the game and I started to enjoy it more again. This update (as many before) just seem to be born out of the frustration of players who are (simply said) just not good at this game and never will be, even with another 14 years of practise and 312 more updates they can come up with personally. Maybe it would make more sense to be able to hire a psychologist for an x-death streak to cope with the fact you're a bad player, rather than taking away the killstreak rewards where players fight for ingame and due to a lot of practise and required skill over the years, benefit from and win games. But as I said before...as long as an update does not force me to move ingame, you won't hear me bitching

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. Spartacus (53)

Lunch at Jakes', might have to have a Blue Moon to sort that one out.

We will be waiting for the response from you, if we can Archive this. Let us know, all is done and settled. Thanks and a plus to you, to go to our website and post about it. Says a lot.

Enjoy it buddy

I'll second the time it takes to turn into an RC car is too long and we often are shot during the transition. Very frustrating.

Everything seems fine to me. especially since you tweaked it, I am actually really enjoying it again.

I do not like 2 seconds. It takes me at least a second to orient myself when I come out of a Killstreak (I'm old and often confused ... lol.) 3 will be better ... 4 seconds was suggested in game yesterday and several thought that would be good too. <rant> I still don't understand the motivation for the change though. Was this to slow down 'good' players or to make bad players better? I don't get it. My issue is that we have a handful of players that are SO 'good' that they can somehow kill people at 3x the rate as the rest of the regular good players on our server. (And don't get me going on how many kills in a row are headshots with some of those guys ...) I hear you when you say make recordings, but those are from our perspective only and virtually useless in discovering anything other than vague suspicions. I trust the admin team is doing 1st person specing and recordings ... hopefully with other game persona's to hide the fact that an admin is in spec mode. I have mentioned the few things that I've seen from my perspective to admins here, but never hear anything back, so not even sure if they are being looked at. Man ... PB days were amazing! We caught so many cheaters in those days. Wish we had that tool back. Anyway ... </rant> Will give the 3 seconds a try this weekend. It probably won't hurt/help my game much as I don't normally use killstreaks to move my position. Choosing where to change into a KS will definitely come more into play. All this being said, thanks for all you guys/gals do in creating this mod and tweeking it. I really do appreciate all the hard work and thinking that goes into it!

Good lord, they'll let anyone in this place. Oh hey, welcome to the funny farm @HELLSPAWN!

The following is a brief account of Budmans sex life :-

You want to fix a pretending pb of spawn protection after a killstreak? which is reward to kill people with straight kills. But still, Emp mine is too powerful, stealth doesn't work good with clay, trophees got multiples turns, heist's everywhere so you can't use ur killstreak wisely. Not to mention the fact that the last second of respawn you are visible and that there is always a pb of seconds at the start of the transformation into a car. This is why I don't understand the point of this new change in the first place rugger. Most of the attacking players are stigmatized with this change and the power of all the defenses and sitting players is not reduced. Go to work, see u.

wow yes when you think you have seen it all,,,lololol

Wow..... Really.... Just when you think you've seen it all....... Welcome idiot....

That's awesome @Raven. Catching anything is fun. Do yourself a favor some time and head to the Florida Keys for some fly fishing for Tarpon or Bonefish. Good times!

Can't wait to see how many people cry over this I don't get killstreaks so this won't affect me lmao

I understand that, I'll do my best, but as I say it would not be great timing at the moment, incidentally two of the biggest culprits who have played all week around this time haven't appeared since this post went up ? coincidence ? I would appreciate it if other players who feel the same as me commented too.

Now don't you all get me wrong, I know they're always screaming hacker and you have never heard me say that until recently. We have some great players that I have never ever accused of hacking, you know they are good and you happily play with them, no names mentioned, and I salute their skills. On the other hand a lot of us have played these games for thousands of hours, we can sense when something isn't right (i.e. a headshot every time with a pistol from anywhere). It is the ordinary players frustrations with these things that are driving regulars away, even now I'm not saying they are hacking, however they are driving away players who have played for years, and that ain't right. Soon we'll have no one left, which is a damned shame, as loyal as I am even I now play regularly on other servers, with quite a few XI, because we don't want to play on ours, not good.

OK I'll have to let this cool down or sure as shit every time one of them sees me playing they'll be as good as gold. See how it goes, but we need to at least try to save one of our favourite games. One thing for sure I'll be watching certain players to see if their score drops when I'm on, and record when they're not. Do my best, hope others help by doing the same, I'm not good with these things. Save Our Servers

Good idea, but probably too late for that, forgive me if this is out of turn but the other day you were on with 2 other admins. We couldn't help but hear you all discussing some of the dodgy things going on, think how we feel?

Video please, then we ban right away

I could quote 3 names straight away off the top of my head (but won't) of people who can do this anyway at the start of any game before they've got any killstreaks.

@Ruggerxi I have a "short list" of people that can go away and I'm pretty sure no one would complain about them being gone if your feeling froggy lol. Well maybe 1 or 2 people might complain because there is ALWAYS someone lol.

Please just take some video so we all can see what you're seeing, just go in under a different name, play for a round or two, go to spectate and record them. Send the video to me and I will ban them. Simple, easy done. Then go on to the next one. This goes for anyone, it only takes a couple mins to video a hacker if they're hacking. I need to feed this banning hunger I have, send me some hackers!

The problem with this is it doesn't show things like extra time on combat medic (when they spawn), the perks they have or how many extra perks they have. It does show fairly well things like radar and headshots so I might persevere, however they'll all have read this now and will be watching. What is absolute, with every one of them is the inability to speak in the game, and I mean every one of them - full stop. They may be regular good players, or admins but I say again it will greatly assist with everything if every member has to play under their main XI name. No pseudonyms, out in the open like the rest of us, and I personally don't see why not?, if you're a clan member why do you need another name on our servers? We know and appreciate you all try your best, but it seems to be a losing battle in all the servers, disruptive players are driving away members in their droves, on every server.

Only take a few secs to type /record and just spectate the hacker, please send me the demo, I'm in a banning mood this week.

Thanks Boss but I don't have the energy to do all this, all I want to do is play and enjoy myself, I'll just give up.

I tried to enjoy Scotch for years, then had a tumbler of Kentucky bourbon. After several trips to Bardstown KY, and all the distilleries there, I'm hooked. It's Empress 1908, not express, that was the hangover typing.

Well Europe has all but finished, and very much for the same reasons having played with some of these for years. We've had enough of 'world class players', who see through walls, can find you if you're buried, kill you everytime with one shot, have every perk available, can spawn behind you where even with perk you can't get to, have an unlimited number of cars at the end of the game and every one of these NEVER speaks in a mic. Combined with very few admins ever on, it has driven us all away, every one of us is fed up with it, most of us have left, or play a fraction of what we used to, sad but a fact. We can't prove it, or can't be bothered but we've all played for years and know damned well good players (and there are many) from dubious. I used to play 6-8 hours a day on ftag every day, that is down to about an hour now and I leave if a 'world class player' appears, as do a lot of us. I might not even play today, something I thought I'd never say, all the fun has disappeared on every server, where we enjoyed each others company for years. R.I.P. Europe but across the pond appears to be booming, yep time to find something else

Here is one for you Rob!!!!!! One of the best i tasted on rocks only.....

Actually, I had been at the boat club w/the boys for a few hours. Came home, hey! tomorrow isn't a school day, I can stay up. That's when that evil juice distilled by Englishmen started calling me. Express 1908 is a lovely gin, Boodles is another I favor. The selections have grown tremendously the last few years. They all have the same effect, a rough landing in the morning.
