It's also true that good players are routinely called cheaters by average noobs and banned from games by the server admins, which was the point they were making. That happened to me more times than I could count back when I played UT. It's a good thing there are so many servers in most of these games that it doesn't matter.

That's happened to me all the time as well. 

The stupid Wolfenstein noobs.

Ahah no3 made me laugh so hard. I got a classmate who plays UT from time to time. I dont even talk about it with him anymore because anytime we do it ends up like this:

Him: "Yeah UT 2003 sucks. The original is much better"
Me: "Oh really? Whys that?"
Him: "Its noobish"
Me: "Uh? Its the same as the original, only with better graphics, more game types and more maps"
Him: "No its not! Its easier to kill there, its for noobs"

OR

Me: "Yeah I like the flak gun"
Him: "LOL! (he actually says LOL, he doesnt laugh... that should give you an idea on his type ) It takes no skillz to play, its noobzor"
Me: "Whatever..."

To be honest, there is a slight diference between UT and UT2k3 in terms of pacing, with the former having greater weapon/character speed.

I agree with his conclusion even though his reasoning is stupid. There is a world of difference in the gameplay for someone who has played the original a lot, and it's not in a good way.

[Raven2001]

Yep, only the speed changes... if I want to go slow Id play cs

Also I believe there is a inbuilt mod that reverts back to the originals pace

UT had fast paced killing and generally had death at every corner.  It was extremely tough to win with no deaths, even against noobs.

UT200X had slightly slower paced killing and much reduced weapon damage.  It was fairly easy to win with little to no deaths, even against decent players.

UT3 is more or less like UT.

[Polpolion]

Online games = destroyer of minds

Nowhere else do people justify the fact that they suck with the fact that the person who killed them sucks even more.

i dont know about you all but a text bubble is usually a big ass bullseye to me. i know if i started typing in a big open area id get fragged in about 2 seconds flat. i only gleefully return the favor. 90% of the time im getting my ass kicked anyway, so im gonna have some fun when i can.

one thing i like to do is lob grenades aimlessly into the main room where most of the fragging is going on in. i know this tactic has no hope of ever winning a deathmatch, but i dont care, if it pisses of the laggy newbs and the gay haxxors then im happy

I hate those people. I cringe everytime I hear some teenager actually say LOL and want to punch him in the face.

[Asuko]

Same here. I have a friend of mine who says BRB whenever he needs to do something quick. I didn't mind it at first then...

[Raven2001]

Gets... rather annoying... really

[Asuko]

Exactly.

I dunno, it is more efficient. As far as I can tell efficiency = laziness and effort = bad in today's world. I find the repetition of the word "like" in a sentence far more aggravating. Seriously, "like" is NOT an INTERJECTION, it is a COMPARISON!

Slightly off-topic: Does anyone have a DVD copy of House M.D.? If you have, this kinda reminds me of the "Valley Girl" versions of selected scenes...

[Dark Hunter]

Seriously, "like" is NOT and INTERJECTION, it is a COMPARISON!

Seriously, "and" is a CONJUNCTION, not an ARTICLE!

[spartan_0214]

Glad to see English at Tech has paid off there, DH...

[Asuko]

Where did House come from? If you really want it, buy it or otherwise...

I say "lol" when someone is trying to be smart or tells a stupid joke.

[Asuko]

  That by itself sounds like a terrible joke.

[TrashMan]

What I find more irritating is people with no basic common sense when playing a team game..

You might be a n00b, but use your head dammit!
There's nothing better than building a defensive perimiter in Termulus (the best possible perimiter..all turrets setup to have the best possible field of fire), only to have someone deconstruct it IN THE MIDDLE O AN ENEMY ATTTACK. Pure genius.

Or hording all the jetpacks and just hovering around in the base, camping..no one joining an attack or responding to call for a charge.

I'd be playing Allegiance right now, if it weren't for the damn NetFramework2.0 I have to have installed atm for VisualStudio 2005...
