Why?
Playing online.
Usually I love it. It's you vs the world, can be a person from anywhere. It comes down to skill, who's faster and better right?
Wrong.
It comes down to which punk-ass players are going to cheat.
Why? Why the @!#* cheat online?
It doesn't make you a better player, it doesn't mean you're top dog.
It means you're a weak player that needs to cheat to suceed and it also means you're probably ugly and have crap parents.
Example:
Castle Wolfenstein - The Base map.
I come under fire, run into a hut with no windows and wait for health to regenerate (being a medic is good).
Except I get shot.
Through the wall.
So I respawn and BAM get shot through the wall again, with nobody even in sight.
Run away and duck behind a crate for cover and once more get shot, through the crate.
Jesus christ, how weak do you have to be as a player/clan to use wallhack cheats and invisibility?
Clan CBW - beware of these punk monkeys, they lack any skill whatsoever and need to resort to hacking to enable them to shoot through walls.
*shakes head*
My Flashpoint Clan plays for fun. We have some decent players, and then we have players like me.
We've entered tournaments and got whupped, but we get beaten or we win fair and square.
I don't understand the mentality of these mooks that need to cheat online.
Sure, cheat offline in single-player games if you want, you're just playing against the computer.
But when you face off with other players, have some respect and dont be such a bloody coward and rubbish player to utilise cheats.
And I can just see these spotty geeks laughing and high-fiving each other before having a nice big circle-jerk in their stupid geek bedroom.
Play like a man, rely on skill and expertise.
Don't stand there, in plain sight, and mow down the other side because we can't hit you and you can hit through walls.
You lame punk cheating wannabes.
If you're crap, accept that and play harder to get better.
Don't cheat and think that means you're a decent player, it just means you're a stupid, wide-faced loser mook that deserves to be slapped in front of your woman so she can see how pathetic you are
*seeth seeth seeth seeth*
Bloody fools.
I'm going to smash stuff wiv my fase now to calm down.
It's when you get shot by invisible people and through walls that I get moody and turn it off.
Counterstrike used to run a programme called "Punk Buster" that authenticates you and monitors if you use any cheats, made the game an even field.
I can handle better players murdering me, it's geeky chimps with cheats that make my head wrong.
My brother has this game and he has played online a bit, but hasn't encountered cheaters yet, but with the release of a new game with online gaming, cheats are always going to be inevitable.
I say find the server admin and get them kick banned, best thing to do. Ip gets blocked and they will not be bothering you again.
My clan have their own, but I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head.
Sorry.
And I have to say it's a massive letdown for me.
Connection problems like you wouldn't believe, you have to use Gamespy (grrr) and even people with cable can't play for lag.
And let's be honest, the level everyone wants to play is the beach one. Except they give you some warehouse thing, a tiny map.
Hopefully the game itself will be better, but I'm sticking with RTCW for now.
An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file.
Boohoo.
