Cant we all just get along?

If you really think controlling items doesn't equate to controlling the map....

[|iR|Focalor]

your buddies were named in that conversation also. so we're all incurable shitheads. Great. perhaps since you're being so philosophical on the subject. you can be the one to cast the first stone.  John: 8 “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.”

I never mentioned who I was referring to. You made the choice to identify yourself in what I said. Then again, you had no choice BUT to identify yourself as a lesser being. You can keep throwing bible verses at me all you want, but it'll never change the fact that you know what a weak little worm you are fighting and clawing for acceptance in a world society that will always have it's boot on your throat. The bible is typically a default go-to for your ilk. The philosophy is perfect for the weak ones like you seeking vindication for everything they loathe about themselves. I highly doubt you even read the bible regularly or truly revere it's words. If you did, you wouldn't use it's words for your selfish endeavors like trying to assert your moral superiority over someone else.

How's that for a stone, shithead?

this thread is fucking dumb

Apples to Oranges IMO. DM/TDM is more about item control while RA2 is about map control. For the most part, the team with control wins.

I like the idea of RA. Everyone spawns with equal weapons, ammo, armor & the best player/team wins. I enjoy it more then DM/TDM personally.

Rocket Arena is the original Call of Duty. Notice in COD you dont run around picking up guns, and its the most popular franchise ever. TDMers have years of armor/mega health strategy burned into muscle memory. They think theyre better but in reality its only because of them having a 200+ health advantage over you when engaging in a battle and still almost losing it.

I make this point as respectfully as possible, and I don't owe it to differences in the mod, mainly the competition and experience:

I am fairly confident in assembling a team from just from IRC peeps that has tapped q2 metagame, in general in usa, to the extent that it would trump any previously tapped meta by an ra2 team of the past.

I know that's likely an unpopular view to the ra2 crowd, but I only felt compelled to make it since 2dum graced us with one of the stupidest opinions I've seen regarding the subject.

philosophy coming from a wannabe confederate KKK is 

Don't "wannabe" in the klan. You "wannabe" a decent q2 player. You ain't. Not even average. But feel free to keep pretending you are. It's hilarious.

focalor keep drinking that moonshine and ignoring global warming, and one day that  hurricane is ganna eat your ass

haunted q2 is beyond proving anything at this point, just accept that you are in the extreme minority in the gaming world when in comes to whether or not people want to pick up guns or have them already ready at hand.

theres nothing wrong with my opinion or my argument. tdm players are good at a gameplay thats dead / abandoned (hide or camp items and megahealth and then charge in with a health advantage), compared to ra2 players whos focus is team play and staking out positions / aim.

Not to mention that the majority of tdmers use timers to reveal the megahealth such as nubcake last nite when i played him. Truth is, everyone is playing a different version of quake with modified paks, timers, scripts and who else god knows what. At least rocket arena levels things.

Just enjoy the remaining time you have left in this reverie quadz is giving you before you are forced to move on from megahealth camping for the rest of your gaming life.
 
call of duty pretty much solved this argument by massing millions of players vs Quake 2 3 4 combined with maybe 100k players still active in the world including quake live.

Quake 4 sales:

North America:    0.29m    90.0%
+ Europe:    0.01m    2.3%
+ Rest of the World:    0.03m    7.7%
= Global   0.32m

Call of duty:
Activision claimed in December that Black Ops 2 grossed $1 billion worldwide in its first 15 days of availability, a milestone reached 24 hours faster than 2011's Modern Warfare 3.
Avg cost of 60$ = 16 million copies sold worldwide

no need to bring your team haunted, just show up like you said you would during ra2 nites

Games sales numbers that aren't even adjusted for population have nothing to do with the skill level involved in their play.

COD sells better because it has a broader/larger possible audience. In today's video game industry that means it's dumbed down for the lowest common denominator of gamer, because anything too immediately hard doesn't sell as well in a market mostly aimed at teen/preteen gamers who have no attention span, and game developers are held hostage by game marketers and producers who want to sell the maximum number of copies.

In no way are the sales numbers of that franchise an indicator of the superiority of it's style of gameplay.

Trying to say that the majority of gamers don't want to pick up guns because one really lame cookie cutter fps franchise has that style of play and sells lots of copies to dumb people is nonsensical. Look at counterstrike. You don't spawn with all weapons, you have to purchase one and it's quite possibly the most played FPS game since they started tournament level fps gaming.

You're really having to stretch to manufacture some logical reason that the simple mod you play is somehow superior to the more complex and nuanced mod that Q2 players have been playing in tournaments since they started having tournaments.

We all expect you to say really fucking stupid things, but you're on a roll lately bro.
Keep up the good work of making yourself look so retarded that the rest of us don't need to bother.

The market is voting to kill quake. nothing of a stretch here.

im sittin here using this pak that i downloaded from the website, and it totally modifies stock q2.

you got the sounds yelling "75, 50" at you when enemy is low as well as "Kill me now"

wtf is this?

I was playing stock up until a couple days ago and no wonder...certain things make more sense.

stupid pak makes it easier to chain / rail / machine gun as well as no red on damage or water lag.

not to mention other hidden things people have probably added like timers for weapon spawns, custom who else knows what.


and then you want to claim tdm is the best gtfo

[Whirlingdervish]

You're fucking retarded.

[2d]

You're fucking retarded.

nah, i just live in 2013

[Arm0r]

CoD is fun.  I play BO2 quite regularly with some friends.  Is it superior to quake?  No, never.  If anything, it has homage to pay to quake.  Many, many, many franchises do.  You're trying to argue in essence Michael Jordan to Lebron James, while James is a phenomenal player, he's no fucking Jordan.

[2d]

not really, the market favored ra2 style of play

hence call of duty you do not run around picking up weapons or inserting a timer to time a mega health.

give everyone everything at start, its the most fair
