Thanks Window, it's really not any particular map, although there are some that lend themselves to spawn killing more than others. What I am talking about is more of a game style that some members have chosen. I'm not going to mention names but I'm sure most regular players can figure it out.

Is spawn protection out of the question? I don't think anything can or will be done about the camping. The 2 main offenders use that as their style and won't even admit to doing it. I find it hilarious and annoying to hear one of them on a regular basis accuse others of camping and spawn killing! Is that I classic case of the pot calling the kettle black?

I'm not really referring to "spawn camping" although that happens as well. I can't count the times that I have been killed right as I spawn by a nade or bullet. There are also many times that I have died via a trip or mine just a couple of steps outside of a spawn. There are people who will deny this or say that it can't happen but I assure you that I wouldn't bother making this stuff up.

I've been with this clan long enough to know that nothing is going to be done regarding the extreme camping that takes place by 2 of our members. I also realize that some will say that it's part of the game, which I completely disagree with. That being said, I seem to remember that not to long ago we had some kind of spawn protection within our maps. Somewhere along the line and for whatever reason, it was removed. I'm not sure why, maybe having spawn protection inadvertently causes issues with other aspects of the game? I don't know. I must say that it is annoying enough to have to deal with the 2 said campers, let alone deal with their nades and shots directly into spawn areas. Is there anything that this clan is willing to do to make our game a bit more fair and competitive? If not, I will just STFU and try harder. Thanks

Well I guess you could say that MacDaddy was not a happy camper Good job putting a beatdown on the stationary one!

Thanks Joe! I'll see you on March 24th.

Thanks Bob! The trip is paid for. All I need to worry about is food, drink and anything I buy while there.

Thanks Fire! I will be staying in Glasgow this time around. I mostly stayed in Edinburgh and Dumfries last year. We have a family castle outside of Dumfries. Caerlaverock Castle (House of Maxwell). Any suggestions for Glasgow and the Highlands?

Brolly? What is a Brolly? I heard it was snowing in London. I won't be there to stay until March 19th. Any suggestions for things to do and see? I love history, castles, ect. Loved the castles in Scotland last year.

Haven't seen him for a few weeks. Anyone seen Mr. Spanky?

I will be on vacation from March 1st until March 23rd. I'm going to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and one day.night in Paris, France.

Nick makes a good point. Although it might be an issue for some to remember the subtleties of each new map. There are many maps that I have never seen before, some very good, some okay and some that need to be changed or removed. That being said, I feel that the/a voting system seems to work. I can't recall hearing one complaint about the voting system since it's inception. I have been on quite a bit more than usual due to a week off at work. and for the record ... I took more exception to Artimus Primes' comment about the server being changed for only 3 people. I can't help but think that comment was directed towards Joe, myself and who knows who.

Thanks everyone! Slàinte Mhath Fire!

a day early but thanks

I second this Joe! When the camper is away, the glove will play! I laughed so hard when Pain said "You just made the worst mistake in your gaming career glove" You don't wanna poke the bear!

Now, for some reason it appears to be working ... oh well, never mind

I have changed my profile photo and it appears as changed within the profile settings but when I post the old photo still shows up. Is there a bug or something?

Anyone know what happened to Gomer? Haven't seen that guy in quite some time. http://www.xtremeidiots.com/index.php?/user/353-gomer%20pyle/

I will REALLY appreciate the voting system then

I'm assuming that I am one of the 3 that you reference here? If that is the case, the only thing I ever wanted was a new set of maps. We had been playing the old one's for what seemed like months. If truth be told, I believe there were far more than 3 people that wanted some sort of change. The map voting is a very positive thing. It allows EVERYONE to voice their opinions anonymously. Not sure who is being referenced regarding the spawn killing. However, I did sit in spectate yesterday and watch as CampDaddy was allowed to rack up 100+ kills without even moving. If that is going to be called "part of the game" then so be it. All this being said, I do think that the new maps need to be weeded out. I for one am very appreciative of the work the Rugger and others put in here. It truly must be a labor of love.

I must say that the voting system that was implemented on the COD2 DM Server has got to be the best idea I've seen here yet. Thank you!

Hope you feel better soon Bart!

Thanks Rugger! I can hardly wait until the weekend.

The vote is the way to go LOM, but you still don't get that Valley Summer and Death Star might be OK with 12 players but horrible for 2 or even 3 people Other XI, besides the Glove and I, leave the server when we get these maps, ask Hoth if you don't believe me. Joe Joe, With all due respect, yes I get it. There are 2 to 3 people that don't like a couple maps, and a majority of people who do like them. Rugger tries to be diplomatic and do what the majority of members want which is why he suggested taking a vote. There are many maps that I and others don't particularly like but I don't see people posting on the boards to have them removed. We all have favorites and maps we don't like or do well on. When a map comes up I don't like I take a 20 minute break and do something else, I don't come here and try to get the boss to remove it. If nobody played those maps it would be different, but we have what appears to be a majority of players who like them. Why should the majority of people give something up because a minority doesn't like it? LOM, what I mean by a "vote" is not having a poll do determine whether a particular map stays or goes, is just having the option at the beginning of each map to "vote" and skip it to the following map on the rotation. This is possible on COD4, we don't need to vote, just start the map and go into spectator mode for 20 seconds I believe, then we get a new map, the next map on the rotation. No offence, but I am not trying to get anyone to remove any map. I have already made this point several times but you keep misunderstanding me... We don't have 20 minutes at 11:45PM to go and do something else, we just leave, that's why the server is empty. Cheers Well said Joe! I don't think it's just 2 or 3 players that don't like Valley Summer and Death Star.

I (finally) finished moving and painting both, the new and old houses tonight Glove. Work has been pretty busy as well, which is great for my wallet but reduces my gaming time at night. I have been playing COD4 Ace and COD5. Have no other choice since my favourite server has been empty for a long time.... I hear ya Joe, maybe I'll see you next weekend. Good luck at work and with the move, painting, ect.
