So I have a theory :P
Guys that are good online don't do so well on LAN because online have different gameplay, mostly because [EDIT: on LAN] you are able to defend better and if you predict players movement you have 100% chances to aim properly. In order to win, when you play online you have to pick up items faster than your opponent and let aiming just do its job by instinct. I'm not saying it's not about prediction as well, and that on LAN you don't have to pick up armors and generally control the map, but compared to game on LAN, online style favours the guys with just better longer strafejumps.
Because for most players it is pretty hard to aim properly online, even from defensive positions, players are encouraged to play using the so called "forward tactics"-which mean no worry opponent might hit me, I will just run as fast as I could from one item to another, totally neglecting the possible position of my opponent.
It's like I just don't care where my oponent is, I will just do my runner runner tactic, as he won't hit me hard enough because ping.
For example, as prove to my theory I expect noctis not do so well at eswc masters.
But who knows, I might as well being wrong. And we'll see about noctis, isn't it ?

Well I am a little bit raged, maybe.
I can't play Rainbow Six Vegas 2 any more, it's just THAT stupid.
All I can say is all big games companies make crappy games everybody buy because graphics and all that shit.
Companies like Activision, Ubisoft (some were converging and made a lot of shitty things I don't wanna hear about it) they all just come with revolutionary games which are not revolutionary at all.
I don't wanna hear commercial excuses, if their moms are all a bunch of whores, that's the way it is. If my daughter is a bitch, I won't stick a fine advertising on her saying she is revolutionary, it's called common sense. They should not give us beautiful semantics about the quality of their games.
What I wanna suggest you people is stop buying their load of shit 2 pennies games and let them fuckin' die.
Long live torrents and crackers! These jokes called "games" don't worth your money.

Fuckin' pricks with their non existent AI and their crappy RV2 !
I even wrote an email but it doesn't matter, nobody would read it if I'd send it to ubisoft, but if I'd have the possibility to meet face to face the creator of this game, I'd write the email on a letter and put him eat that letter.
Enemies respawning from nowhere all over your head? Is there any cheaper way to create "AI" for a game? Have you ever heard, ubi guys, about AI in FEAR ?What you say you go back to your primary school and pay some guys from Sierra to teach you how to create AI in games, first of all, if you consider you are all big boys now and you wanna create....well...GAMES ??
Fuckin' jerks!

did not see prozac matches from the last contest, if I understood correctly he played pretty well against everybody :-(
in the past a decent quake competition had most of the matches if not all recorded
we are not a gay carom3d community, we wanna see demos from q3 competitions; who is da faggot decisions taker that don't wanna record all the matches excepting the finals?
all competition matches played by known q3 players should be recorded, at least

I did not know till I played it; really:
-if you play single player campaign, you find out that police or SWAT or whatever is always ambushed by enemies comeing from nowhere all around you; that's the way it is hapenning in reality too, police and antiterrorist troups never plan their actions, so they are always ambused and when they are taken by surprise they do just fine; the fantasy scenarios are wonderful
NOW talking about single missions: I think I have some kind of paranormal enemies
-if you play the single missions, you have there the lone wolf option; still terrorists say "aim for their leader" which makes me think there are some invisible powers accompanying me; vodoo magic, I could swear; seems they see these powers, too
-after some tough firefights, I managed to kill one more enemy, making a lot of noise with my mg, still a close enough enemy that I could hear his voice said "I think they left"; obvious it was not talking about me so it must be a philosophical argument regarding his mates; magic philosophical terrorists, I like it
-after being involved in some close range fights, I managed to escape my surrounding enemies by climbing up a ladder; a few seconds later one terrorist was climbing the ladder after me, with the logical intention to eliminate me; but after climbing up the ladder, he just stopped looking to some agnostic wall; philosophy kill us all; this happening confirms me once again I am right about the deep education and implication of the terrorists into philosophy
-it seems they have some kind of device appearing in front of me from nowhere, maybe some teleportstion device, also these teleporters seems to be trigged by some invisible alarm trap I step into
-they must have some paranormal sense of knowing my position, doesn't matter how hard I try to hide by changing my position-example with the ladder is concludent: as soon as I was climbing the ladder, doesn't matter no enemy was able too see me, they all came right to me, defying the general survival rule of self preservation, through other things
-terrorists all have some secret code, they don't use regular grenades, only flashbangs and rarely incendiary grenades
-seems the terrorists are not walking, but flowing through air, as most times you don't hear their footsteps, even if they are running behind you
-they know all locations like their own pocket so they are able to round you and shoot you from behind just a few seconds after you initiated the attack
I could complain that FEAR enemies have much more realistic behaviour, but now I understand RV 2 must be based on some Tolkien novel

where in the fuckin' God's name do I have to look to modify the colour of the crosshair ?
cg_crosshair is white
ch_crosshair is something similar
still I have a faggin violet crosshair colour

damn u arqon with your faggin vq3 and all that "new" stuff
could you not just adjust the old console commands? now I have to read entire manuals just to learn how to modify the colour of the crosshair ?
osp is waaaaaaaaaaay2good compared to ur vq3

here I have to ask too where are teh demos ?
here
:D

I want to get my gf's (kinda) messenger logs and because we don't stay in the same town anymore, I have to access her computer from the Internet, she have some crappy xp system and don't have big knowledge in setting a high security on her PC
I did not study the problem on the net yet, any fast ideas/suggestions would be appreciated (+)
k 10x :p

I buyed Red Orchestra
I gave them my money
Right ?
And what do I find out ?
Despite the fact that this game is not a new game anymore, the patches did not fix a main problem that you have in the game: if you are prone and strafe left or right and there is something not very big in your way, you wake up on top of that shit! now I understand that you may climb, but in order to do this, that stuff must be in front of you, not on your left/right
So I pay for a game and what do I find out ? Once you give them your money they don't do shit to fix major problems.
If I understand correctly this game evolved first as a mod, with thousand of new adds every patch.
Once it became a market product it stopped evolving.
And this is not the only stupid thing about this game
The recoil of some machineguns is too big and unrealistic, the idea that you should use your mouse to simulate the use of your muscles to reduce the effect of the recoil is just stupid, if that was the idea. You may shoot an enemy from behind from 15 meters, round after round, he have time to go prone, turn to you and shoot you, well this is a a hell of a realism
You run like an 55 years old smoker, after running for 100 meters you are close to dead lol, realism
Grenades inflict too much radius damage, there is many times no sound when they fall
The whole movement and reflections are stupid, the speed of the strafe is too high because poor player models animation (FEAR have a much better player movement animation, Red Orchestra should have at least player animation at this quality, if he wanna be called realistic game), and the speed when you want to aim is too low, not to mention many times if you don't obsessely press the aim button it won't aim at all especially if you run before
And there would be more!

I must repeat, this game was evolving, afaik, now what was happening ?No more evolution ?Game over ?Because I hardly see they will fix this stuff

Name some and who you think would have been the winner

for example:
fatal1ty vs cooller on pdm6 -cooller would have win that maybe :-?
ZeRo4 vs Lakerman on pt4 -dunno, z4 ?
jibo vs czm on pt4 -jibo maybe on ESWC 2005, dunno in rest of the
time
(don't necessarily have to be quake3)

Are these people stupid or just...stupid ?

EDIT: seems ggl.com was not accurate on this (see comments below)

I found out why they did not implement metal shaders in their doom3 based engine games.
I modified the pro-q3tourney4 bluemetal1b_shiny material so he acted like the bluemetal1b_chrome material (the metal which we have in q3tourney4) and run some random demo with timedemo 1 with and without that material, on full details.
The results are relevant I think. Without that material I got 119 fps, and with that metal material on the results were giving 64.9 fps, so the performance drop with almost 50%.
That's why they removed quake3 shader instructions when they made doom3, they did not want to have people doing fancy things, trying too much and looking in their engine to find out it is a bad concepted engine.
There might be a small possibility that material in particular is causing such a fps drop.
Unless they change some code, maybe remove real time shadows, I expect to see more Id games coming out with plastic aspect materials all the way.

So what's the big deal with this game the gamespy.com guys got nuts ?
Is this game like Deus Ex 1 somehow? You don't have scripted A.I. ?.
So? The "big" graphics? Or some people are just easy to be pleased now in lack of any major new fps game ?
Haven't try it out yet, just asking...
