General / Reducing Rambo Effectivness

« on: July 18, 2004, 01:36:40 PM »

Rambos = Bad.

Ninjas = Good.

I mean, there is nothing like being stuck attacking the 2nd Hive, when suddenly your team gets whiped out, Baconed, then all phases to the 1st hive which goes down very quick thanks to the Ninja phase gate. This would kill that strategy, which is one of the best strategies out there(and not overpowered, either, being aliens can get it easy).

Really, the only way to kill the rambo off is more skulk hiding places.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned "The Specialists"- and have it play ALL the maps, instead of just lobby or theater- I'm talking EVERY SINGLE MAP. PERIOD.


Edit: Forgot to make Specialists plural.

General / Counter-strike Source Beta 1

« on: July 12, 2004, 03:52:05 PM »

i played a cracked version of it awhile back, the AI was HORRIBLE, it felt it was WORSE than HL's.

The "hostages" always ran into walls. especially that dumbass "sniper" in the black hawk down level. Always causing me to check every 5 seconds if he's still unstuck.


And the enemies are so horrible its quite funny. and your ON your OWN 80% of the game in SP.  <_<  Some Teamwork huh?


the only situation i saw with Teamwork was that silly Russian Silo thingy map when there were 2 terrorist organizations shooting at eachother and you and like 1 other guy (who dies in the beginning anyhow so ur on your own killing 4563524231 bad guys by yourself as usual)


And did i mention its so easy to do what marines do to OCS these days to kill basically alot of terrorists? All u have to do is slowly strafe away from a wall until u see a bit of their arm or leg and shoot while they go "OW! and still stand in the same spot. Eventually killing them ^_^ 

Boooringg, but cool videos in the beginning at leasy  :ph34r:

I think your talking about Delted Scenes. Regular is basically just matches with bots and a few requirements.

Whats funny: There is more teamplay in CZ than in CS, and its SP. I just got CZ today so I could try out the source engine: And CZ isn't that bad. In fact- I like it. A lot.

Not as good as NS, but it does its genre well.

General / Half-life 2 Delayed Until Apocalypse?

The memory loss means that every episode is new again!

Ah, the ol' goldfish bowl syndrome. A goldfish swims in circles in a fishbowl because it has such a short memory that each circuit is a new experience.

Actually, their memory span is 3 minutes- so you better be in a damned pool.(damn Jeopardy).

AND THATS RIGHT GRAMPS! OH YEAH! EAT IT, YA 99999999999 YEAR OLD OWL!

Maersk Shipping offers door-to-door service around the world. You ask them to pick up your goods in a standard container, they'll send a truck by your place to pick 'em up. Because of the tight schedules their container ships run on, they'll also give you an ETA. If your goods are not delivered on that day, they shave a percentage off the price as compensation. If it's late by several days, that percentage goes as high as 100%.

Somehow I doubt that HL2 will get any cheaper because of the delays. Think about it: The more the game gets delayed, the less up-to-date will it be. Would you pay 40$ for HL1 today? No. Because it's outdated. HL2 will be a year late if it ships in the fall. It's already out-of-date by a year. Most games sell at half price or less a year after they're released. HL2, I guarantee you, won't. No matter how long we have to wait, they'll still expect us to pay full price on delivery. They made big cash off HL. If they can't complete their second game in five years, it's time to fork over some of that cash and hire more staff.

I wouldn't say that lolfighter. While I may not pay $40 for HL1, I sure as hell'd pay $150 for NS. Sure, its only a year and a half old, but its on a 12 year old engine, with a 7 or 8 year old rendering system, off of a 6 year old game.

Some things just don't get "old".

Heh.

It'd be great if this was Lunix- I was planning on my server(if I ever got one) to do as much balancing as possible of my own- modifying numbers and the such. But this would be official!

Man, I wish people'd get off their damned high-horse about HL2 being delayed. 90% of you people don't even know that HL1 was delayed even longer. Your not making the game, so quiet.

General / Steam Issues Again

« on: July 03, 2004, 09:52:14 PM »

Yeah, thats how most the problems are with steam- none, after a small amount of time. I'd even say it'll be good by tomorrow- happens to me like that all the time.

General / Gimme Script Hax Plz Kthx

« on: March 29, 2004, 07:38:07 PM »

Lucid: Up to a point, a Video Card doesn't matter. Monitors don't matter at all, large or small(as long as its close enough when small, and don't say it hurts your eyes, it doesn't).

And either way: Scripts are used to abuse much more than for skill-enhancement. I use none and I'm damned good if I do say so myself.

I'd say ban Bob and let the Vets sort him out.






 

Hey, the vets aren't evil. Their just imbociles.

General / The Phrase "bs"

« on: March 19, 2004, 07:15:59 AM »

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's add 'ownt' and 'pwnt' and 'owned' to the filter and make it display back to them "No one cares how good you think you are, STFU."

Really, people bragging about their l33t skillz after they kill someone only leads to aggravation and less of a fun time for everyone.

Just try and sense when its in Jest. I personally usually say things like that as just a joke, so I can just....yeah.

And btw- j00 get PWNT!

Best Mouse out right now is the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 5.0, with that KICKASS side-to-side mousewheel. Comes in both Wired and Wireless flavors.

I personally have a MX500 though, wired(I didn't know the other existed...)

Off Topic / Far Cry

« on: March 19, 2004, 07:09:32 AM »

I want BF:V over Far Cry

BF:V will run on my PC for a start....

They both run on my PC, but first off, Far Cry has TONS of tech glitches with GeForce cards.

Secondly, no, its storyline is like a "HL on a Tropical Island" kind of thing(the 2nd demo CLEARLY hints at that).

Nother thing is, I could have done better voice acting than the main character, my Gosh....its TERRIBLE!

This and World of Warcraft, I see no reason for everyone to be excited...

Off Topic / Final Fantasy Xii Trailer

« on: March 17, 2004, 10:11:11 AM »

Like I give a crap about my post count.

And since when is my opinion not within my rights?

Well, I'm not sure if this board has the same rules as the NS one, but I'd be willing to bet their damned-near the same.

Basically, its pretty A-Holish to post that you don't like something in a thread about it being great and all. If you wanted to make a negative comment, waiting until the appropriate time(like when were done talking about how great it looks), or make one that has a good reason instead of looking stupid. <3

And yeah...this doesn't have the "Epic" feeling...though it looks more like a tech demo to me. Showing off the low-poly-highrestextures more than anything else, along with the seemingly new battle system.

LB, if that was pointed at me, I still love you <3  :lol:

Bob, I actually have a bit of a suggestion here. When their not following orders, or not doing things the way they should, maybe they should be warned that not following orders is a bannable offense, but also ask if they are new. If they aren't new and aren't following orders or doing the right thing, ask what their doing.

Basically, take the Dr. Phil approach: Be nice until they leave you no options. Then perm-ban. Cause when it comes down to it, we don't need people like that on our server.

It was by Bob- as said, Lunixmonster(and Nano before it) were ALWAYS known for having serious rules, very heavy, and a very big deal. I remember the first night on Nano that I had- I got banned for cussing and generally being a butt. LB quickly banned me, and I begged for forgiveness and proved the first impression wrong(luckily).

After that, Lunix came. While I didn't like Nano dying, it was a great new server, and I got to meet many of the admins of the NS forums.

Well, my love grew over time. But then one day...I slowly stopped playing NS. Seems I did at the right time- newbs showed up soon and ruined it. Then it supposedly got its "Greatness" back. Now it seems its nub-filled again.

I dunno. Maybe its just me, but it seems the ban hammer still needs to come down hard. 1 warning, ban right after. No need for anything else(especially now that we can tell who admins are, usually).

I just hope the banfest begins, because I'll sure as hell be glad for it.

And its good to be back guys, its good to be back.
