downloaded the maps ,went on through gametracker,i get as far as game loading,then it keeps sending me an error message,then "call of duty 4 is not responding"

gi.timmah! To me, the point of XI..... is having fun and gaming with friends - not getting angry that someone "less skilled" than you, gets a kill or two on you. Yes, fun. People play against each other with guns & both generally have fun in the interaction, win or lose. When a person uses a tube, there's no fun interaction on both parts. The person with the tube ploops their tube in the general vicinity & the other person(s) immediately die. There was no chance for fun for the other person. One or two people doing this changes the whole flow of a server. And it isn't just one or two kills because there are those who will suicide & refill on tubes to do it again... all map. If you had a server with nothing but tubers, there would be no action, because they would all be sitting waiting for someone else to come by to ploop on. The people who want to have tubes in EVERY server are saying 'don't take my fun away from me which consists of taking the fun away from other people.' People get in fights with guns in a server, & from time to time think 'that was a good fight'.. 'that was fun', win or lose..I do. People get tubed don't think, man that was a good fight, man that was fun. The only person had fun was the person spamming the tube. A sniper takes me down on the run, I usually think 'good shot', because he actually had to hit me with that bullet... a tube in my general vicinity takes me down on the run...I'm not thinking good shot. It doesn't require making a server without any explosives or kill streaks It doesn't require taking tubes away from everyone in every or any other server. Just make ONE server without tubes, or tubes toned down. It's a relatively simple, quick & easy fix. Don't know why all the controversy. It will just provide a fair opportunity for a sizeable portion of people that would like to play in a server like that. Don't know why people who like to tube complain about that request. bloody good post that ,a pox and plague on tubes ,they ruin the game.at least reduce the amount that can be used,

Bigmeandean they should be limited to two just like the clays otherwise sometimes all that people are using period! just my thoughts see ,thats a good idea [at least as an experiment]that way no one complains about tubes ,as its limited,and cannot by be used as a main weapon,it puts it on a equal footing with all of the other bang bang kit [which is also fair and addresses an unbalance,why have 4 tubes[?] or only 3 frags or 2 clays]

just been chased off ace mod, [got pissed off to be honest] out of 9 players 6 were using tubes, i got shot 5 times point blank by tubes [no attempt to use a gun or knive]where is the "fun" in that, far too powerful in relation the range they are used at,sorry to be the demon of doom but between the camping saga and tubes ace mod is in danger of becoming an ace hole

can you see the telegram sent after that? " dear sir, we regret your son/daughter/goat/camel is lying over here and over there and over here " signed the big bang experience

look i know what i am about to write will piss guys off, but i have to ask, is this a vote about camping ,or ron barcardi?,he/you are a player on ace mod, not joan of fucking arc,no one should be getting turned into a victim here.this is about banning [or not] a mode of play which until it had a "face" put on it a lot of guys hated [spawnkilling anyway]sorry ron this is not personal, you have a "medal" for run and gun not camping [i think i am right in saying?]to me this vote was[is?] about camping not people,the "head shed" should get a well done for doing the vote,and putting their head on the block for trying to resolve a problem, which lets face it most guys were moaning about, just over a week ago,sorry folks my view

belize [international i have you know lol] we use to sit on the watertower at airport camp and watch the lucky bastards using it to get out lol

Steak You know, after reading all of the reactions to lilgreasy's post and thinking about it for the last day or so, Ive come to the conclusion that tubes should be left they way that they are. Everybody has their own style of playing. I take the game very seriously and compete fiercely when playing but many people simply play for laughs and to have fun and clearly couldn't care less where they place at game's end. The last clan that I was in ran a pretty strict DM run & gun server that didn't allow camping or rifle nades. This gave me a bias coming into XI and it has made it hard for me to open my mind up to playing styles other than balls-out competition. A rifle nader here & there doesn't bother me. A bunch do. Its no big deal to sit out a map that I don't like and likewise it's no big deal to drop out until the map population is more to my liking. God knows we have a BUNCH of other servers to play on in the interim. yep

Steak Bourbon Whiskey and Coke is my poison. Old Grand Dad is probably my favorite. And even though it technically isn't bourbon, Jack Daniels No.7 is a close second for me. agreed on the old grandad,when i was in the states [attached to your army rangers ,then in fort lewis]i used to drink old crow is that still going?,now days if i drink spirts its bushmills [too many tours of ni lol]

you could try cutting out the amount of rounds you get per tube [or the amout of time per game] there is nothing worst than having some one "glitch" their way to the top of the mountain on the fubar map, then spend half the game tubing guys below its boring [to the victims]the other night on ace mod there were about 9 on ,at least 5 were tubing each other from windows [the grange map]i might have just started this game, but where pray tell ,is the skill in firing an area weapon out of a window at guys at another window?.it is a "legal" weapon on cod4 i know, but the arse is been torn out of it now[at least with the shotgun its close range so you have to be fast or stalk to kill]i know there has been a lot of moaning about campers etc,but if you get a camper with a noob tube its not funny, or an enjoyable game for most[maybe thats why a lot of other servers have banned them]i am now seeing guys coming on to the server,getting wasted by the same guy with a noob tube and leaving,i myself am now doing it,we all use them i know, but its geting daft now,where is the fun in having the same guy covering the same path with a noob tube [until he gets killed] on one of the new maps on ace mod [cheers for that the maps are superb] it is built for run and gun, but its crap because of guys on the roofs with noob tubes

done i do not like to "grass" but this guy drove me nuts,and trust me if you are a reg on ace mod you know him

greetings i am going to assume, that the grown ups are aware of the glich on this map?. i noticed it today while on "spec" i will not say who the player was but he was aware of what he was doing when i pulled him about it, any chance of a fix because if this clown is doing this on other maps [i have seen him doing it on the ruins map]then it explains a fair bit [i will not say who it was i am not the type]cheers

thats the bit thats getting me, according to "pingtest" my ping to chicago is 137/190, according the game its about 104/120 tops ,its my fps thats crap [most of the time] the more guys playing the worst it gets,[on some maps ]even if it goes down to 40fps i can still play on some maps, so i cannot understand if its pc lag or server lag its been bad for at least a week now,i get 31.7 mb download so i doubt its connection as even my "frankenstein"[lol] gets an A from "pingtest", i have managed to get hold of a pc with a pci motherboard [but only 1.6 duo core cpu ]so as i can i will try to build it up but in the mean time i will carry on with what i have, and hope it gets better. has it always been this bad?

yes mate, i have the same problem in the uk,no idea what is causing it tried everything, i have what i think is the config file from hell,my connection is sound ,HOWEVER from chicago to london [30 miles from me and my nearest test area] my ping is 137 to 190 [no packet loss] from "san fran" to london it is 164[constant]even the uk servers are bad at the moment [one has a ping of 10 to me]but the lag makes it unplayable, i have no idea what is causing it, but it makes ace mod unplayable some nights now, last night for a while i was first [lol] then heliocopters turned up,and with 5 extra players ,i was in the red [and bottom] faster than gaddifi having a shit during a airstike. i would be very interested in hearing if other brits and europeans are having the same problems as us [judging by their results i would say not,] or maybe we all have shit kit?

PT-Bama Well, so far it appears that 2 out of 3 peeps want it turned off. That is cool with me, I play either way but I certainly do not wish to lose some of our long time players like Ron to the anti-camp mode. I dunno how long Pete plans on letting the vote go on, but I suppose it will be at least a few days before the vote is over. my original sugestion for the vote entailed a 3 day vote to decide,however i would recomend including the weekend for guys who work away from home etc.that way it is all inclusive and no reason why you cannot find two mins to vote

your welcome lol

Noears711>XI< I vote that we lose the Camping MOD and I play Ace MOD. It's not fair to some players it's ACE mods Guys it's anything goes I am 54yrs old and I like running and gunning but there are times, when I will find a spot and take out a couple of players. Let's leave well enough alone. not too sure how to do it , i am not too sure it could ,or would be done, but since its your mod ,why not allow the xi membership to vote on it [you pay for its upkeep its yours] the rest us non xi are guests on this, its a bit like walking into your house and telling you the carpet is crap,at least if the membership vote for, or otherwise this festering sore that is camp vs non camp will be done with it can be organized in a few days ,and the result inside a week on this site, hold it for 3 days count the votes and then get back to slaughtering me [sorry playing the game lol]

piss balling about aside, good post mate, a little thanks goes a long way credit

Graffitti >XI< Dont know if this is an idea, but since I changed my rig for a new one, including a 580 GTX vidcard, I experienced "Your computer seems to have changed since...", this at every new startup after rebooting of CoD 4 as well as CoD WaW, with serious fps drops. Had to delete everytime the config files (under your profile in the gamedirectory), réassign most of the keys and graphicoptions. This problem seems to have disappeared since I updated to the last NVidia drivers yesterday. Try to increase the com_maxfps to a higher number, this works for me too right, so far i have turned down all of the graphic settings, changed all of my config file ,[ i tried 250fps,125 fps even 0!!!]turned off every windows program that i do not need.i have g boost [and the other one lol]overclocked my vid card[ its a 7600gs [now on 510mhz]changed pkt dups etc you name it i have tried it,now hunting for a better card with a shite budget and agp motherboard but that should be easy compared to playing those fuckers on ace [and not hanging myself lol]just out of interest if i was you next time you get that message ref your pc changing let it run it will change your config file to your new graphics setting and keybinds [ i found that out after trying paradoxs config file out ] just for the record the latest drivers are not always the best, i got the latest for my card and almost balls up the entire thing, i rolled them back in the end , i have just noticed that my fps is still bloody allfull even if i am just watching the game [it would be about the same if i were playing

what do you guys think causes a huge drop in fps?, if i go on to a map with less detail [like nuke] with less than 12 people then i can have a game, if on the other hand its a map like cargo [with lots of airstrikes]then i am down to about 15 ,if someone is close to me,its worse a case in point, some guy walked up and stabbed me today on cargo. all of the time i think i was putting rounds into him ,my fps had sunk [like my urge to play] to about 12, it has never been this bad before, but the last 3 days have been shit,has anyone else been getting this?,

RON_BACARDI_ Hi Guys & Dolls.. I have run into the anti-camping mode used now and will probably play a lot less in the future as I am an old slow geezer and have very little skills for the "run & gun" mode needed to play well. I admit I camp, but I disagree with it being called camping with a sniper weapon. I use guile and patience for most kills and have a good ratio for it. Anyway I do thank like all for their help and explaining things to me often for the past two years. This has been the only server I have played more than three times since and became accustomed to the players and their often comical sayings and outbursts of mild profanity when tripped up on something. SEMPER FI that would be a shame if you were to leave, i hate the way you play,the amount of times i have been killed by you while you sit behind a tree is countless,in saying that i too am "advancing in years" [ i am 50 but most of the time on the maps you would never think so judging by my reponse when killed] so age/reflex is no barrier, my"rig" as most guys know is not made for run and gun [nor fucking gaming to be fair lol]so do not be too hasty in leaving ,as i can see this idea been toned down,but in saying that, the problem is of numbers,there are more runners than campers ,so more influance(?] with the grown ups, there would be a school of thought that would say that if the run and gunners are so fucking good stop moaning like kids about campers and mow them down[not my thought but some guys would think that lol]the answer to this god knows, but i would urge anyone thinking of leaving because of this to think again its a game,sorry if this ramble seems disjoined at the end of the day i am a product of the 1970s uk state education system not a guy who makes rockets

BEWARNED do not try to type on acemod, i was asking gashman9000 how just before everytime he killed me my pc would freeze when bang up comes the camper warning, so if the fuck off size bulb above your head doesnot get you killed then the camping warning will [fuck i thought larsen was lethal]

had the same problem with a config file i was playing with, all of a sudden "start movie" appeared on the srceen . [ i thought it might be something with nuns and some form of lube which would be more fun than watching me getting slaughtered like a pig]so it happens, just out of interest according to the film dogma jesus was black lol

i must admit campers piss me off. in saying that we all do it at one time or another [map depending] in my humble view what needs to be fixed is the gliching that can, and has happened on ace mod [the best one i have ever been on ] on the "fubar" map, some guys have found a way to get to the top of mountains and noob tube the rest of us below,now massive points for finding the glich but bollocks to that, if you are running around being used as a butt mop by the rest [my sorry duty i regret to say lol]then it turns fun into bum if you are a victim of death from above in the way of a camper with a area weapon,i think like most"new" ideas there will always those for and those against it. i have "specced" campers on ace mod [not snipers, guys with mp44s etc] how do they do it? they never move from a bush/bin/shithouse until they get killed,then they move to another location and do it again,i would rather be found crucified upsidedown in flames with my head hacksawed off with a goat on the end of my knob than play that way, and it ill be interesting how this is played out on "karkland day " map should be a laugh,

live-evil Have you tried updating your drivers ?. I am using a config i found on www.fnatic.com under downloads it is called stevyconfig_2011 it might help it took my fps from about 35 now it goes up to about 70 and sometimes into the 100's. I am also in the UK up in Scotland. you would not belive the configs i have tried i have them from teams "dignitas",fnatic" "reason gaming",yitch 2, and pranks, in fact everyone from "bandslash".com,i then mixed them all together to try them out [hence the jumping in and out of games its not all temper lol]at the moment i am using a mixture of the "proper" paradox config file with yitch2 and a little bit of mazarini that gets me moving around i can move pretty fast on some maps, and more important i chose my fights [nothing with too much smoke right down in the 20s]on the right day with the right map [nuke] i can top 80/125 but everything has to be perfect [one afernoon last week this happened [remember young why?]i never even aimed, you all just "floated" into my sights [ and just for 2 maps i was feeling like i was larsen lol] as for all off the offers thanks guys that means a lot but [ and i mean no offence here at all] advise was what i was after at this time so card it is [ebay under agp i think lol]
