...Really? I'd think the person who is a worse fighter would be the one losing. Too many people in this game try to separate FPS skill and CTF skill, but you can't play CTF without having to shoot people, and they're not always going to be looking in the other direction.

I think in beta imbalances are acceptable, and even to be expected. Not only that, but you keep talking about grenades like they're ruining the game entirely, despite the many posters who don't feel that this is the case --not that everyone thinks they're balanced, but most people don't think...

YEP I played around with it a bit last night, and I think I'm on-board with reducing the hitbox size. I hadn't really considered the multiple angle blocks before (derp), but they could definitely be pretty imbalanced at higher levels of play, especially with multiple defenders who can hit and...

I think that's actually the purpose of this whole discussion/debate, so not offering rebuttals to the other side is not very productive in this regard.

I forgot to thank you guys, but the new servers are great. Love being able to play again :D

A chaser grenade jumps enough that they will get to a point where they can hit it every time regardless. I can't imagine a solution where a competent chaser would end up missing a non-insignificant amount of grenade jumps that did not rely on randomness.

No matter how much the reduction in hitbox size, you're still going to get a guaranteed hit every time you frag jump if you time it properly...I mean, the grenade is falling directly behind you, and you aren't moving your reticle. As for it being annoying being chased, chasing is certainly not...

As a chaser I really enjoy the nade combos, it gives me a chance (albeit slight) to chase on smaller maps by getting up to speed quicker, as well as to chase back to front routes on larger maps. I understand that nade blocks are easier than body blocks, but I don't think they are an issue at...

Yeah I've posted my Pingplotter results in this thread as well, but like Hannibal said, we seem short on reports compared to how many people are affected. The problem did seem to go away last week Thurs-Fri, but resumed again sometime early Saturday. I didn't think to get another Pingplotter...

In response to wtf #1: Have you tried your RAM sticks individually in slot #1? Bad RAM can cause issues like this with some machines. If that isn't the case it sounds to me like a motherboard issue, but to make sure the PSU isn't the culprit I'd try the following. Install your PSU in the other...

I've been looking at upgrading recently too, and I think I'm going with the i7 2600k when the fixed motherboards are out there. Some benchmarks, more benchmarks One thing to take into account is that the chipset for the sandy bridge motherboards was the subject of a massive recall on Intel's...
