Now for the long version.....are you ready to take it in??....... if so then.....thats what she said?
I like being able to drive cars fast and fly around in vehicles while shooting people down, but I don't like when a vehicle or turret gives someone an upper hand over someone else. To many times in T:V I would see people just bomb a base with a bomber over and over for 20+ kills , the noobs would just base rape , or people would set down 6 turrets and 6 mines around a flag and just sit back while people died. It was very frowned apon to even touch souch a thing by the upper skilled players, and if history repeats, it will still be only tactics low tier players will use. It is in my eyes, the same has someone that goes and rabbits the flag while in a game. Only noobs do it and when it is done, it is frowned apon by the upper tier players. Anybody who has seen me rabbit while killing off the entire team that is trying hunt me down with the old charged sniper would know, and yes I called myself a noob =P.
I remember this strategy I made called the meat grinder/2:5. We even used it vs Vv or void (I can't remember) in a scrim. The normal strat would be 3:4 or 4:3 on offense and defense, mine was 2 defense rest offense. Me and Floks would hold the base, and our job was to kill anything that would dare get in range of a bullet. A teammate would toss the flag to the top of the base near the flag stand and would go off back to harass the enemy base. Then me and Floks would pass the flag between the two of us while killing people who tryed to returnt the flag and worrying about dying. We had to hold the flag against 3+ people( at one point they sent over 5) while killing and passing, sometimes solo for 5 seconds when Floks or me died, and trust me 5 seconds is a long time in a duel. I am not saying I am an amazing player, but that strategy took major skill to pull off, and not just anybody can do it. I do not want to see a couple of people who played the game for 10 days pull off that strategy.
*I am making a point, I am in no way putting down Vv or void, btw we lost.....*
I don't like the idea of someone placing mines down on flag... there is no strategy to that, a hof however took some skill. When you choose a hof you give a price to play that class or any other class well enough to be worthy of competing; that price is skill. Some people make back what they put forward, all the hours of practice and playing turned them into a work of art that we all knew and loved has the legion legends. What do you give to place down a turret or mine?? If something can kill for you, why is there no price to pay for it? We did not all start out being able to duel with 5 people at once. I have spent countless hours teaching others how to play and even just being a meat target practice dummy. If there are turrets, mines, and vehicles making lower tier players play like upper tier players then I feel the time I spent and the time of the people I spent it with means less.
When 2 very good players went at it, time seemed to slow down. There was a dance that each person would do while trying to be aggressive and not take hits at the same time. You had to think quickly on how this person plays, what guns he uses, and how do I make him stop breathing, or undressing me with his eyes. *APC...*. There is none of this when it comes to setting down a mine, turret, or a vehicle that will make you faster, give you stronger guns, and bassicly a new set of armor that will absorb bullets while you just hop out laughing at the 3 people it took to kill it in the first place.
Even in games like bfbc2 I hated the vehicles, so maybe it is just the way I think. The idea could work I guess... no matter what happens I will try and adapt, but doesnt mean I will like it. If people are having problems because they cant handle the higher tier players, then add a rank system of some kind. In Genesis Ad the noobs are put in a beginning server that the better players can't play in. If your rank is high, but your k/d is below 30% which by all means makes you suck it lets you play with the other noobs... I mean... the people who wont shoot you for sucking so badly.... I mean..... ohhh never mind.....
That's not a troll, it's the king of all goblins and fairies (go play some good old games). Also, if I see bullshit, I tend to call people on it. As long as you know what you're talking about, and as long as you don't try to disguise your opinion as facts, everything is fine. I'll take that cookie anyways, thanks.
gheist...... every post I see of yours you are putting someone down...... You don't have to agree with someone, but no need to troll. Speaking of bs... idc if your the pope.... ok especially don't care if your the pope.... but if I see bs I am going to call you on it... you posted again... I want my cookie back...
Do I get cookie for longest rant?
