Quake / Re: Camping versus Sniping

« on: May 04, 2006, 07:11:00 PM »

the difference between camping and sniping is simply a factor of time.  i dont care if it is dark or light in a little hole or out in the open - if u sit there for an extended period of time it is camping.  if u know someone is about to come around a corner (like they are following u or u hear a sound) and u stop momentarily (maybe crouch just on the other side of the corner) to rail them, it is sniping.  sniping is more of a one time deal, it is ephemeral.

the sp maps are meant to be exactly what they are called SINGLE PLAYER MAPS - duh.  this is an FFA tourney.  if u want death and carnage use dm1-8.  if u want to spawn 3 miles from where the action is at a dead end use the sp maps.

green gauntlet is a dynamic map with lots of good jumps.  id rather the original maps tho.  i think a lot of old skewl quakers would like ot ante up to the originals and see who can take the pot!

the larger map u have and the more people hogging bandwidth = more lag.... another good reason for breaking it up into two brackets RANDOMLY CHOSEN.  believe me there is skill involved in going around a map like dm8 and fragging people off the pads in DIFFERENT locations. theres no skill in sitting in the corner by the rocket launcher and aiming left firing and then right firing ad infinitum.  u can play someone good 1 v 1 and he can pick u off 4 or 5 times in completely different locales on a large map- theres skill involved in that.  the skill is flawless movement and map knowledge.  granted there will be more people involved in this thing but whatever.  temporary invuln will definately add time to what already will be an epic.  perhaps u only have 20 people interested - then u could have only one server.  just my opinions.....

if its going to be true ffa it should be the original 1-8 rotation untill the total frag tally reaches whatever predetermined limit.

harass ur internet provider daily it works!  i got a permanent free upgrade after a month of harrasment.  ask for a manager and then ask for their manager.  if all else fails ask to nullify your contract (for good reason) and get a new isp.
