jiggle jiggle jiggles yeah.... I am sorry A few weeks ago I was speccing more and playing less, personal reasons. I have been playing more this week. Figured I address it since you brought it up as you were probably not alone in noticing that. It is addiciting figuring out how people think when they play. Its like mind fucking without any commitments, hahah.

Me spectating that's the highlight you get from all that I wrote? Idiots, Xtreme Idiots! !fu @Giggles I did, it was scary I ran back in.

What's wrong with spectating, it is by definition watching stuff happen. How people play or for that matter conversing on it is a form of entertainment in itself. People watch sports, and comment about game play. I watch COD4 and comment on the players, the whole point is entertainment, no?

I am certain I will get a lot of flak from all across the spectrum for saying what I am about to say. I think we have too many people whining and complaining about all sorts of things in the game. Before I even list the issues I am guilty of doing the same but I think it ruins the game play and it should change as it creates an unhealthy environment. To be clear, I am speaking specifically about the in-game chat. It is understood and normal to be upset when you get shot. It is equally important that instead of trying to blame this on something you accept it as a reality of the game and keep playing. Raging is amateur and childish. There is a very clear distinction between trash-talking banter for amusement vs just "bitching". Actually, a second thought its not so obvious to everyone. Lag Fair enough, but deal with it you cannot fix it by complaining. CIs Fair and known issue, again not much you can do in-game Blown up by car Typical responses "w/e", "bs" - I am sure you feel different when you do that to others. Camping It's part of the game, it sucks to be shot by someone who does not move much but it is fair. You can do the same if you like. Fuck you Nighto/Monika. Hacking This one comes in all shapes and sizes, however, I would like to state a few things. - High kills low death count does not implicitly mean someone is hacking. Explanation: You find a good spot to camp, where its hard for people to get to you and you pick them off. Some notable players who are good at finding spots in maps Nighto, @@GoOney, @@Ripper, @@iFlysoHi etc. It is one example of achieving a very high KDR. In this game people generally rush and that's why you get shot so often, you've to be strategic with your movement. - Where did I get shot from? Explanation: It happens to me a lot especially from players like Mexican, @@GoOney, @@ReaPeR, sometimes even from unusual offenders. M16A is a very powerful and accurate weapon. All anyone has to do is get one good shot on you (pixel) and then hide real quick before you show up in your bubble. If they have the Dead Silence perk, it tends to hide the flash from the bullet, that's my working theory. In this way, you have no idea where the bullet came from and the best you can do is make approximations from the bullet sound direction right before you died. Not everyone is very good at figuring it out and not everyone gets it right all the time either. - How did you know I was there? Explanation: Your mother told me, j/k. This one I think reflects badly on the one complaining than the one who got the kill. It just speaks to the lack of situational awareness you have in-game. The only two people who baffle me some times are 'kilmaley' & '@@TaGg3r'. How people usually know is by sound, and your ability to tell direction from virtual surround. This is mostly true for Urban maps. A few other things to consider are, shadows, teammates looking at you, hardwired, intel, UAV, and seeing someone run up in there. - I was invisible how were you following me? Explanation: You may be running in your spawn protection but unless you're using Dead Silence perk you are making a sound. Pro-mod players have fine tuned ears for sound tracking. It's just as real as cow dung itself. I am personally not that good with sound so I am not really able to track any invisible person. If I get a shield by shooting in clear space I keep hip-fire spamming until they appear. It works 1 out of 100 times for me, mostly I just run out of ammo. - How can you see thru smoke/grass etc? Explanation: Smoke, well, when the smoke is new or dying off, your shadowy figure may appear. Other times, people spam in the general direction of the last know location. Also, random shots contribute to this too. As far as trees go, this puzzled me too. I often get shot from someone while I am buried in grass or behind thick tree leaves. I have not figured out the tree leaves part yet. IMO hacking or unfair advantage claims may be legit, I have no proof though. I actually got kicked by Punkbuster while trying to find proof. (Murphy you remember when I got kicked for lodscalerigid? that's what that was) For the grass I found out that your graphics card's rendering process and available VRAM has a lot to do with it. On NVidia graphics cards, it doesn't render the entire effects of the field on a very large shrubbery map. So if you're lying prone in open grass, someone on the other side of the map will see lying on flat in open ground. Just to find proof, I bought a GTX760 and tested it. My actual GFX card is AMD 270x. There may be other issues/concerns that I may have missed, please post back and I will try to best explain it as I understand. The whole point to this post is that the moment someone starts getting shot a few times by the same player, they tend to judge on their expectation of how things ought to be. There are people who do fishy things on our server no doubt, and we should be vigilant to ensure an enjoyable gaming environment. At the same time, this whole culture of complaining and calling people hackers, apart from when you mean it as a compliment, has created an unhealthy server. Just because someone is doing better than you, does not mean its impossible to be that good with legit ways. Flooding admins with complaints about things that can be logically explained just creates a frustrating atmosphere. Some people are competitive in game and they try their best to be on top, others like @@Unchileno do it for the sake of pure enjoyment. Bottom line: Quit complaining, improve your game. [Yes, you have my permission to hate me for saying this, hater] General Tip: Your weapon kit loadout, and your killstreak selection plays a big role in how well you do in a game. Recourse Instead of starting a keyboard war in the game, I suggest you take it to the forums. If you suspect something fishy, go to spec, record and submit to an admin. Use the /record GameDemo command in the console, activated by ~ operator. P.S. The names mentioned above are of people whom I have had personal experience playing with and I understand their game play.

Well, I use the predator sometimes to defrost people, especially if I am the last one left...so basically I aim at someone and start defrosting...I don't know I have mixed feelings. I can dodge the SAM missile with a little effort. I basically turn up my sensitivity and fly the predator like a plane. It used to be much more flexible, I could go around the map in circles but now there is gravitational effect and it declines. I guess you tuned it or something to that effect.

Everybody dance now...

Just saw this post now. That is interesting, an otherwise somewhat useless KS will become a much more formidable defensive weapon. I don't understand the predator one. You mean the SAM launcher will try to kill the predator UAV before a missile is even fired? Also, if it is fired will the flares draw it towards themselves or can we still guide it to its target.

That just might be a coincidence iFly.

What @@DemonElf said, install XP in a virtual machine, infact Windows 7 has Windows XP mode (Free) executing XP programs natively.

With the NewYork servers I have had issues with hit detection and screen updates. My GPU would be hit hard when there is smoke rain and bushes. If there are explosions around me and I am trying to shoot someone, I used to get no hits for an entire clip with M4 carbine. Anyhoo, so I started tweaking stuff and I got consistent FPS, also my detection improved a lot, even with super bad lag, as long as I aim right, with the M16 I can get 1 shot kills across the maps now. Anyways, only trying to help... offer's still there.

I have a config that I can share with you guys. It helped with my lag issues and hit regustration a lot. I shared it with 2 other people and both had positive things to say in terms of its effectiveness. I also think it will level the playing field. Hit me up if you like to try it.

Haha, you know what I mean. It could have just said 'extremists' or 'terrorists'.

Why do the extremists have to be Muslim? Yes, I know its a joke.

@@kawkasa lol...

Not for me it wasn't. I got 25ms knocked off my ping.

Thats what she said...

Lets put on the ACR mod and see if we get the same lag on the same server...

Actually that would make it even more fun, since we don't have FF. You wouldn't know who is who.... craziness overload.

That sounds pretty cool, can we do that?

you party pooper... Make the M16A automatic on Federal Holidays

Maybe we can do a Holiday special where the ACR is brought back for the month of December ... oooh I miss sniping with that gun

@iFlysoHi 's mom.

The customer showed deep passion for the Nuggets. The establishment should've showered her with the product, I mean literally. She was bat-shit crazy.

Welcome aboard @@DESI_VIK

Very cool.
