I spent a little time on a competitors server tonight ... the skills were amazing.
What server? I have given some beat downs and been called a hack on more than a few lol. The tubes can be annoying but don't really over run the game unless there are many good tubers on one team. Pinglo and Ronnie come to mind for excellent tubers\smaw players. I have seen them hit long ass shots that are anything resembling shooting into a crowd. If you see someone doing prediction tubes at the beginning of a round. Don't take the same path. They are usually going to shoot the same common traffic areas. Its usually pretty predictable. For the players who use them well betties and clays aren't that random. When I used to use clays more often there is a lot more to it. Movement is much different on server 1 vs mw2 for example. Predicting speed around a corner based on the mod. Angles, spacing one correctly behind the 1st if they dodge the 1st etc. Placing a betty on a table so it blows up in your face much quicker for example. Just my 2 cents and something to think about. Try not to turn this into a fluffy soft server. I felt like the last mod attempt gave me that feeling.
