ColdSore

Thanks for the support all. 99.9% of the time I laugh it off and play on but 1 person started(non member). then another, then another. I'm sure by the end of the map(I was 3rd and accused of hacking lol) everyone on the server was thinking the same. Loader hit the nail on the head with my hopes the poor confused soul will read this and stop the BS running from his mouth.

For most of the later years, 8-9 I have played as ColdSore. Never been a TDM lover though I have been known to play on occasion. I was going to play in the COD TDM tournament on Pimped out Pete's team a couple of years ago that never came to fruition. I remember you as well. I never left, just had some name calling last night that was uncalled for.

It's been a while since posting so after some COD2 verbal abuse last night I'd thought to come here and reintroduce myself. I play as ColdSore. I'm 60. I have always lived an active lifestyle, rock climbing, scuba diving, hiking, whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, I think you get the picture. I am a Father and a husband, home owner, 3 dogs to entertain, garden to tend and hiking trail to maintain. I'm not a couch potato, am in good shape for my age and yes I have decent reflexes as some well know. Some days I get a bit of a short break in life and get the pleasure to play some COD. It's the only game I play regularly on line and I only like death match. I play because it's FUN, win or lose. I don't win anything, no recognition, no nothing so why in the hell would someone think I would cheat is beyond me. Why anyone would WANT to cheat to begin with is even further from my reality. I've been gaming since games were invented and probably 4+ years on this server alone. I broke into online games playing Q3 Excessive. It was the fastest, no BS game ever...still to this day nothing has surpassed Q3 Excessive for run & gun imo. Xi runs one of the last COD Excessive mod servers on the web, most members are good people, admins spot on and fun to frag with so this is where I prefer to play. In the COD heyday I played on the iX server with Worm(Excessive designer) until they closed shop. Was a member at BHC but that clan took a turn for the worse, I removed my tags and moved on. In those days I thought BlownAwaybyLewinski was a girl. Lol BTW…I have never played COD standalone! BOTs suck. While hanging out with the iX clan I was taught quite a bit about the intricacies of the COD config file from the guy that designed the Excessive mod. I would be more than happy to share my config but honestly it’s been so long since I was tweaking it I don’t remember half the settings but it would be easy to compare side by side. PM me. I don’t use a headset for 2 reasons: 1. I have a set of Klipsch 5.1 speakers that sound sensational, cost me a bit and they help me locate where the next victim is. 2. I work for an international company and I am in conference calls most of my day wearing a headset and mic. The last thing I want to do is come home and wear another f’in headset! I DO have a headset and mic, a few have heard me in game but again I PREFER to NOT use a headset when I play. Some suggested I use a standalone mic but the feedback isn’t controllable when using external speakers. I like most of the players that populate the server but now and then some folks get their panties in a wad and start accusing me of wall hacking, invincibility, laser sites, etc. I usually ignore the comments but there are days when it just gets to be silly. Hell those same people think Viper and Crazyman are also hacks! They just can’t stand the fact that they still suck at COD after all these years. Hehe I have seen the admins step in and ban, (at least kick) for less than what was said last night. From my understanding of the Xi rules if you think someone is cheating you notify an admin, not mouth off on the server. I'm not looking to have anyone called out, hand slapped or whatever, I just want to be able to join the server and have some good game play, win or lose without the BS accusations. I don’t have time in my life to listen to BS and honestly it doesn’t reflect well on Xi either. Thanks for reading. I’m hoping this will put ColdSore in a human perspective and earn enough respect from the confused to stop diarrhea of the mouth. Look forward to fragging your ass right off the map!

Wow this sever has some serious issues still. Ping all over the place fo eveyone that could get in. Took me 5 tries, played for 10 min then connection dropped. I got back in but...

Y'all goin to be in my backyard. Woot. Advice; If ya start hearin banjo music pucker up. Be ready for huge amounts of people, over 1 million visitors visit the Smokies in the month of Oct. because it's "leaf season". If your local you don't go there. Slim cell service and often times you'll get the "all circuits busy" message. I'm an outdoor enthusiast so if anyone needs to know some good site seeing routes/hikes PM me and I can give you some suggestions. If you mountain bike we have over 40 miles of single track 4 miles from DT Knoxville and a commercial track in Gatlinburg, pay and rents bikes. Secret Local Stuff... 1. Driving here? Don't follow I-40 to exit 407 like all the other tourists. Take 441 in DT Knoxville to bypass a shit-ton of traffic. If you are brave and no one in the car gets motion sick try; 441→ White School Rd→ Goose Gap→ Waldons Creek→Hwy 321→ Parkway to Gatlinburg. It's REAL curvy. All you Northerners laugh at us cancelling schools when they talk about snow but this IS a school bus route. Seymour Grill on the way through Seymour for local Mom & Pop home cookin. No alcohol though. :-( 2. Driving between PF and Gatlinburg will take between 30-60 min depending of time of day regardless of what yer app says. 3. If there is a bear within site of the road ALL traffic comes to a STOP! NO JOKE! You have to pee? Go lookin for a bush. I usually lay on the horn for a min or so and the bear runs away. Great way to meet new friends. lol 4. The drive from Sugarland Visitor Center to the "Quiet Side", Townsend, is a great way to get a feel for the mountains with minimal walking. There is an old settlement to explore , waterfalls that are roadside and many great swimming holes if not afraid of some shrinkage. If the water is high enough it's my favorite river to kayak so you may get to watch some kayaking over the waterfalls. :-) 5. If you take the "daring route" remember how you did it because leaving is worse traffic than arriving. I'm going to make it a point to visit Gatlinburg that weekend to see if the IQ actually drops. That bar isn't set very high in this part of the country. :-)

Hands down the BEST carts is the Nascar Speedpark. I've spent all day there wreckin the carts havin a blast. They have arcade games, mini golf, and a pay one price for unlimited everything deal available. https://nascarspeedpark.com/tickets/ It's a good distance from Gburg though. Maybe a 30 min car ride depending on traffic. https://nascarspeedpark.com/ Whatever you do DON"T bother with Cooters indoor carts. It truly sucks. More like bumper cars than go-carts. OK for small kids if you need to entertain them and get them a kart fix but no fun for adults. Every time I went there Cooter was really hanging out signing autographs. It's also the only place in the country left to purchase a confederate flag if you so desire. Amazon even banned them! Hope this helps. Ohhh yea almost forgot about Hillbilly Golf! Go there. Pay the money and go. You will pass it on the left coming into Gburg on the main drag. It's a unknown national treasure.

Hey ScRiPt3... Hwy 27 just out of Lexington is a nice drive. Brings you into the Cumberland Mountains and that time of the year should be beautiful and you can easily follow it to Knoxville. When you get to Gatlinburg ride from Gburg to the Sugarland Visitor Center and continue on Little River Road toward Townsend. From Elkmont campground to Townsend is as beautiful a drive as it gets. Lots to sightsee right off the road. Continue through Townsend to the Foothills Parkway. Another beautiful drive, minimal traffic and gain a bunch of elevation(dress warm it'll be 5-10 degress colder up there). Stop at Look Rock to stretch your legs and hike a paved trail about a half mile to the Smoky Mountains weather station/lookout tower. From the top you can see the TN valley to the west and the Smokies to the east. If you ride to the end of the Parkway, hang a left and you are only a few miles from the beginning of the dragon. 311 curves in 11 miles. Most fun you can have on a motorcycle! The TN State Troopers have 2 patrolmen up there from 9ish to 6ish that write tickets all day. Before or after those hours are a lot more fun. If you are there on a weekday watch out for semi's that travel that road. THEY SUCK! They have to take BOTH lanes to get around the corners, some of them blind. Lots of vids on Youtube of those encounters. BTW Ober Gatlinburg is overrated IMO. $5.00 to park(at the top), $12/PP to ride the tram. That time of the year they are prepping for snow and I think the "ride" they have up there get shutdown in anticipation of the ski season. Not a bad place to ski on weekdays, weekends are overcrowded and rates too high. Be safe, dress warm because in Oct Gburg is 10 degrees colder than Knoxville forecast that's how there is a ski resort there!

For the FPS gangs this game is looking like a area style (Quake3) shooter. last day to get in the founders deal is 1/10/15. After that it's gonna be full price.

No beta yet. Another Q3 reminder. Turn your speakers up.

For FPS lovers wanting a modern day, updated, Q3 arena game Toxikk has promise. The game is still in development and on a kick starter thing, $15 gets you a key, early access, etc. For $100 you get your name in the game credits. hehehe Pretty good dev forum and accepting input willingly. Q3 extreme version on steroids. Check it out... http://toxikk.com/7-facts-about-toxikk/ https://www.facebook.com/Toxikk

Now this is a coincidence...my 06 Element has the same issue. Have had everything tested by 3 different garages and all said no issue with alternator or anything draining it while truck was off. I live very close to work and play so I only drive 15 miles, or less, a week. Figured I just wasn't driving enough to keep it charged. Just did a 2000 mile road trip so I will see how long it holds up. Do you put some mileage on the Element between dead batteries? My neighbor had a friend with a similar problem and his solution was a cheap trickle charger.

I have the same issue and have had it for the past 8 years! Mic works with EVERYTHING except COD. If I fire up xfire I can sometimes have voice for 15 min or so before it just disappears. I have not installed Teamspeak to try it yet. I have several different mic set ups and NONE of them work...USB or the standard plugs. Reinstalling the game does not resolve the issue as this has been used on Win 98, Vista and now Win 7 boxes. Do most people using a mic go through Teamspeak or use the in game chat? For some reason I think It would be nice to be able to speak to a few of you idiots on occasion. :-)

Thanks for the good server hook up. Mooocho better! What happened to the panzer? That was my camper killer.

Got to play some on the new server and the CI have dropped off considerably but are still there. I'm in Knoxville, TN and saw no difference in pings. Thanks for the hard work!

This MOD sucks IMO. Still have the CI issue. No Panzer. Haven't played much this week hoping the Admins hear everyone bitchin and change it up. Xi had the last real run and gun server and now it's a spawn camping with a sentry gun nightmare. I used to complain about the spawn camping on the other MOD but using the sentry gun on a spawn point is not a good game. Like Pete said, "No long do you have to face your opponent but rather set traps or lay gimmicks for them". My $.02....

LOL I have the same issue and have had it for years. Can get the mic to work once in a while but then for no reason will not work. If I go through xfire it works but I don't want another application running when I game. I have both a USB and regular jacks but NONE will work on a consistent basis. This has persisted through win XP and now win 7. Crazy and I gave up.

I'm out for Friday and Saturday but may be home in time for early eve Sunday. EST

Got nothin on this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1krJqn3smbI#t=66

I'm good most evenings from 5 PM-12 AM EST. Weekend times TBD...to be decided. I don't work weekends except working hard at having a good time.

So when will this actually happen? Today? Next week?
