General / Whats Wrong With The Server?

« on: May 28, 2004, 08:03:28 PM »

Why does the server lag spike every 2 seconds for about 2 seconds?, If you look at your ping, about every 2-3 seconds it goes (For example my ping is usually high 50's) so 50, then it shoots up to about 300-800 every 2 seconds. Now I only get mad about that cause I like to snipe, and seeing a person skip when they jump a corner doesn't make me a happy Sniper  

So whats wrong with the server?

General / Do You Think NS Should Be

« on: May 27, 2004, 07:36:04 PM »

Do you think NS should be played according to the stories, videos, and pictures (in other words, Atmospheric),

Or for clan play. Examples by this: Marines jumping around like bunnies on crack whenever they freakin see a alien, using scripts, Finding ways to gain a advantage against someone of your equal skill.


Give me a post stating if you think NS should be played "Atmospherically" or Played as a "regular Team Deathmatch game"


I think it should be played atmoshperically. And not not the way its being played nowdays, In other words more "realistic" as if you yourself saw a alien running at you. and Quite frankly I really do think there's plenty of TDM games out there, why not go play them instead?) <_<

General / Plugin Request

« on: May 21, 2004, 01:27:44 PM »

Can Lm get the "Attackers " and "Victims" plugin please? i mean sometimes when I die I like to see how much havok was casued by me, and who i mightve hit with a grenade or hit through a door or something. It displays after you die, its like your own little personal stats for that round

Basically Attackers, is who hit you, and who killed you

and victims is who you hit / Killed

Well since the map request thread is starting to lean to being spammed. I decided to make this thread, in here you can argue nicely over custom maps, official maps, etc. on spawn locations, map designs, why it suxx0rz or r0xx0rz, just keep it at a low debating level. :lol:

General / De_747

« on: May 03, 2004, 04:07:20 PM »

de_747 is pretty much the 747 in cs_747 except its in the air, you can shoot out the doors on the sides in many areas to create a sucktion pull to keep silent walkers at bay (you should run past or else they get sucked out and fall like 100 ft to thier deaths, or get sucked into one of the engines)

Ct's start in the cargo bay, which if Terrorists rush to a vent (which takes a good 5-10 seconds) they can open the cargo bay and any afk cts or nubs get sucked out the back with the crates  (which is fun to watch btw) The venting and bathrooms and seating and everything is very similiar to cs_747. its very fun and i find it better than cs_747 (even though terrorists have to bomb the cock pit (wtf?) but anywho it is fun and i think the LMers would enjoy this unofcial serious, map

plz lb plz

Well Arch told me to read about why its bad to do in the forums, i couldn't find the topic so im putting one here.

I wasnt in the big convtreversy so im just wondering. Please list me why everyone gets mad and admins temp ban some one for doing it? Im just wondering :huh:  (no, i only got a warning not tb'd or anything ty arch for having mercy on me)

General / Your Thoughts On Hive 1 Onos

« on: March 09, 2004, 06:30:37 PM »

Im sick of it, Hive 1 onos should be placed at hive 2, they are absolutly the biggest worthless peices of **** at hive 1, they do NOT "turn the tides of a game" for instance, ive seen this MANY games. Marines turtle, take 1 hive, get HA/HMG's and kill 1 hive, now tell me how hive 2 onos CAN make a difference in a game with stomp, yet its the biggest peice of lame on the field at hive 1, and YES i am complaing but i am Stating the truth. when marines get HA and are close to taking down the hicve 2 its end game, sure mabbye ull get lucky from a skulk rush and take out the phase gate but i mean comeon. marines have a end friggin game why can't aliens? i mean Hive 3 is worthless really, most alien wins end at hive 2 if marines dont get at least 3-4 nodes which is easy early game. now, don't take this to harshly because i am just venting, this is about the 11'th -12th time ive seen this, just now i was hive 2onos (and im a damn good one if uve seen me play on LM) but i cant take on 6 HA/HMG's at level 2-3 by myself, sure sometimes mabye i can if they dont stick together. now i died from a heavy rush into mess hall by being blocked by 2 gorges trying to heal spray me. Now i know what your gonna say " duh then dont let them kill hive 2" well mabye if u read above then ud see i was dead and wehad no onos.
We then get 3 onos and rush subspace, 3 YES 3 with celerity and regeneration. marines lost 1 marine when they all phased, we each devoured 1 and tried to gore the rest. we failed, miserably. Most were armed with hmgs, 1-2 had shotguns. We dropped like fiels and it totally wasnt fair. Ive been seeing this ALOT on nancy, and i know the problem... Onos cant get to marine start in time becuase they have to go through mess hall, marines lame up mess hall and its gg if they HA/HMG rush a hive. now that uve read this go ahead and flame, but i tell u this, even if your an amazing onos, 2-3 HA/HMGS' can easily take u out at hive 1, even if your skileld at devour and can get bhopping marines such as I u cant win even if u retreat. Onos turned into tanks armored with paper rather then carapace it seems.... Now i know someone will say " uhh 3 HA/HMG SHOuld be able to take out a hive 1 onos becuase it costs more) well for that nubcake id like to state if aliens lose all thier rts even when using teamwork id have to say getting onos takes a LONG time incase u cant tell time, and HA/HMG's are in a POOL of resources" 1 Onos should be able to take 2 HA/HMG marines, or at least kill 2 and badly injure 1 before being overpowered easily by them and injuring 1 marine.

I also think a main factor is that Onos are *BLOCKED* by the smallest lifeforms such as skulks, gorges, lerks, and LA marines. Onos should have a push factor so 1 LA marine cant stop a onos dead in its tracks. They should move where the onos is moving, same goes for the other aliens besidesother onos AND Heavy Armor, now i know no devs are going to bother reading this because S&I forums went to hell but im just venting. just think about it to yourself for a bit before u post something at least....

(this posted in S&I forums, prob only going to be loked at by some CSers whos passing by...)

Off Topic / Total War Rome

« on: January 30, 2004, 05:28:18 PM »

Tho i and many others have known about this for quite awhile, i just saw glatiator once again for the 10th time and it pumped me up for this game, so just saying: i hope everyone gets a copy of this game (mostly LM regs) when its released so we can play as allied legions/greek/hordes/much more to crush all who oppose LM REGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! over the internet of course :lol:

and i dont know about u all but i have a feeling this will be greater then HL:2 (my opinion) even tho they are two totally opposite games beside the fact there both comming out in 2004 and went into hard work and developing by the devs
Total War: Rome

EDIT: for those who dont want a quick small briefing before clicking the link to make sure u dont waste your time, all i have to say is : You can basicaly do anything posible in that time period as a leader.

General / Rules To Mini-game Called: Jaws

« on: January 17, 2004, 06:51:55 PM »

Here are the rules plain and simple for the mini game called "Jaws". Since LM doesn't have any "fun water maps" u can really only play it in ns_hydrosity in the water hive (forgot the name), anyhow heres hows the games played:

Marines & aliens do NOT attack eachother at ALL <--VITAL rule, those giant circular platforms with different heights are the audience chairs (or use spectator), there is a maximum of 1 onos in  the water and a maximum of 3-4 marines in the water, the onos may ONLY use devour. (There is no main obj really besides a deathmatch but more rules will be figured out eventually later in time.)

RULES:

1. Max 1 onos Max 3-4 Rines in water at 1 time

2. Any marines on the platforms may randomly fire thier lmg into the water like madmen

3. NO ATTACKING THE OTHER TEAM UNLESS UR THE ONOS /MARINES UNDERWATER

4. Onos must have 3 Movm chambers and 3 Dcs and 1 sensory and must have regen OR carapace (NO REDEMPT) (for Movm chambers the onos may get any 3 choices)

5. With the 1 sensory chamber the onos must ONLY CHOOSE: Pheromones,Cloaking. u will only have 1 sensory (which is all the way in another hive for cloak by sens reasons)

6. Read number 3 again


7. u may come up for air anytime

8. the onos AND the marines must NOT leave the water until the round is over


9. More rules to come!, play around figure new ideas and rules but stick to the 3 dc,3mc and 1 sensory (the reason for the sensory chamber is the water in the hive is a bit foggy thus a cloaked onos in a corner hiding would add in paranoia to the atmosphere

Yes i know, the game is mainly pointing to the Onos but then again u have the 3 maries on the pilars firing w/e ammo they have from thier lmgs into the water so yea...



its quite fun try it sometime  ^^

a have a few unanswered questions: does Fleash Eating V work on enemy sci's? how long do those annoying radios work for and when they disapper did that mean they cloaked or i killed them? why cant u kill teh enemy G man <_<  and why are the scientists "working" but there walknig around, the SI team couldve at least added in AI for them to go sit down in a chair and look at a comp or go by a machine and stare at it at least. and final question: Why does that S&I map have the chestburster host guy from aliens on a medical table? :p  (its the 1 with the ambulences)

« on: January 01, 2004, 06:15:52 PM »
