Cant we all just get along?

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

Umm..have you even played call of duty?  You can pick up any weapon dropped.  There is about 15 different game types.  Many objective based and not just mindless fragging (ra2).   Might want to actually play a game before citing it as a truth to your argument.

There's other games I'm really good in.. through them I've met and made close friends and teammates with halo/cod pros, unreal t, etc.. and they all LOVE to watch my quake 2 demos. They have their own tastes, yet still acknowledge Quake has always been the series that exemplifies challenge and depth to the competitive or professional player.

I use normal sounds and no bright skins. Using those 'cheap' sounds that give an advantage to people, so you claim, would only hinder my sound knowledge and my ability as a player. I would say that should shed some light upon the gap between you and someone actually good, but I doubt you'd ever get it. Chances are your average ra2 player modifies q2 far more than I do, which is practically none other than higher quality textures.

I do agree though, you are like the stereotypical bottm-of-the-barrel console fps player.

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

Haha! What in THE FUCK does any of that have to do with the fact that you suck at this game that you endlessly claim to be the greatest at? 90 to 45? If you're gonna continue to claim that you're mister fuckin' awesome, then that's what I'm gonna continue to piss in your cheerios with. And I'm not even a competitive TDM or RA2 player, which you seem to be convinced is where all the best players, like YOU, hang. Best players like you... HAHAHA, yeah, when pigs fly. I'm a nobody FFA fuckoff, and I rape your shit shute inside out. Honestly... who's dick did you suck to earn a degree in anything? I can't bring myself to believe even a person with a mere liberal arts degree could be THAT fucking stupid.

Also, here's a few more key points here(I have this habit of just glancing at the posts from people like 2dum and feeling I got the jist of it):

the play function that requires the proper function for q2 timers is disabled in USA. When vae says he "timed" megahealth, it's just because he substracted 20 seconds from the gameclock after his mega depleted to 100. additionally, good players will catch on to the <100h noise from their enemy and know to look at the gameclock to subtract 20 seconds for MH timing, with the circumstance of knowing/estimating the amount of damage taken from the said hit and the amount of MH they possess.

There's so much more to this game than you even realize, but you prefer to assume the other person is to blame for your own suckitude. You don't even have your settings right which I've told you before and tried to assist you with. Even your movement and weapon binds hinder you(show people your config, 2dum, lmao).

did i miss something? Have you ever won a legitimate quake tournament or anything for money?  As far as i know, there are no demos of haunted on youtube from quakecon that i know about. You can trash me all you want, just remember ra2 will always be the most recognized form of quake that most people will remember. you and anyone else you think is "top-tier" are just nextgen scrubs trying to act cool.

not really im 99% sure timers are being used in the game and from what I HEAR, its not that hard to code in to the game at all. As ive said 10000000x youre all cheaters in 1 form or another

[haunted]

There's quite a few youtube vids of me playing q2, far from my best matches but it wasn't I that posted them. I also wasn't good at this game when q2 was played competitively for money.

but, I doubt the following is true because I'm bad:

captained the #1 ra2 team for the last semi-competitive season for worldOGL
euroq2l team tastyspleen captain/starter
NDML team USA co-capitain/starter

I prob. would have placed in the last online q2 duel cup for money, the SG duel tourney, was I not forced to forfeit both of my matches in which I "lost". Pretty sure I still outplaced vae even so.

Also, you clearly don't understand how the 'play' function works. Using a 3rd-party program like winamp would be the viable option to get around it being disabled like it is on USA servers, but no one cares or feels the need to do that. I have banned timers since day 1 in all USA leagues, you are a moron.

rofl, who seriously uses the word "scrub" when trying to shit talk?

what a nerd.

When 2dum says he is "99.9% sure" about something, like his epic win on "adrenaline", it translates to:

"I have no clue what I'm talking about, please disregard everything I just said, I am an idiot."

you can believe whatever you want, youre either naive or distracting from the fact that you use one too.

played cod, cod2, cod mw, mw2, blackops etc
i know exactly what im talking about. dont wiggle the fact that you can pick up someone elses dead weapon vs being armed at start / not having to pick up a weapon. gtfo

[Barton]

I nominate this for the worst thread on TS. I can't believe how many dumb things 2dum has said, lol.

[quadz]

im 99% sure timers are being used in the game

Our opentdm and tournament servers use:

  set sv_anticheat_disable_play "1"

This means that for players having AC-valid clients, the play command used for timers will not function. (Non-anticheat clients are not affected, however.)

But as haunted wrote above, one doesn't need timers to look at the game clock.

If you've played every one then you know it has nothing in common with ra2    Tell me how domination=ra2?  kill confirmed=ra2?  search and destroy=ra2?   Killstreak bonuses=ra2? You don't spawn with fucking 10 weapons either, you get one weapon that you have to choose out of different classes.  I must of also missed the part where any kind of rocket and strafe jumping takes place in CoD as well.   Are all your arguments this fundamentally flawed?

My primary weapon is mp5, my secondary is rocket launcher
i use smoke grenade / silencer
the point IIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS THAT you pick your gun and your strategy at the start.


Quadz i dont use the timer, i just picked up a pak the other day to see what the fuss with these paks were about, but from i've heard its not that hard to get timers in the game as its just an audio file that needs to placed in.
