lmfao.

You chose to play shitty games, deal with shitty rules.

I would probably use the normal internet approach and insult the admins, call them noobs, insinuate my grandmother would beat them while blindfolded and conclude that they only want to see the models as a replacement for their tiny dicks.

I think that should solve the problem easily. Why would so many people act like that, if it didn't?

Let the player decide and let that be that.

good god if they have a problem with hiding weapon model wait until they see a quake config

Lol my thoughts exactly, they would probably faint

Also, the admins are obviously retarded noobs with miniscule penises who only want to see models to compensate. Maybe if they would l2p above the level of a blind geriatric woman this wouldnt be a problem.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yeah, that's why you don't go to tournaments run by fucking casual gamers. It's so easy to hate them more and more. Let them play their shitty COD4 and CS FUCKING SOURCE

why da fuck are you playing source games

you retarded or smth?

I've been playing DoD for 5-6 years now.
Made some friends, followed them on DoD Source.
I know the game is shit, but still, I'm playing at quite a good level and mostly having fun with my mates.

I'm way too old for fast-paced games.

your profile says you're 26

there are still many great quake players at that age, you just need to practice a bit to stay sharp

besides, you're never too old to play good shooters

I know I'd rather quit games entirely then bite into this whole shitty casual console fps fad

I'm 26 and pretty much the only thing good about my game atm is my aim and reaction time.

The drinking has really made my short term memory suck :(

.

Still check my aim stats! And they're actually rising (due to me playing shit when I started in april), I expect my rail to average out around 55% and lg at 40%. Just get me to not run into heavily guarded rooms over and over again and we'll win every game np.

When I say I'm too old for this shit, it's just that I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to computer games, and I'm now more interested into my e-friends than my e-performance.

.

Sure, I do.
First time a ear a DoD player name outside our own community ;-)

.

dod gold was amazing. dod:sauce is total utter fail :< i miss being midskill at dod.

how is it cheating? dun gettit :/

Sounds like the same kind of guys who complain about brightskins and high picmip settings on the qlive forums.

It's very simple: what does not having the weapon model take away from the game? Dead silence... there are no good arguments against it in normal games unless the game has some strange features like no crosshair and requires weapon aiming.

some people would say it looks better

Yes, but it only looks better on the screen of the person who thinks so, why would that have anything to do with what should appear on other people's screens?

well if the majority of players of a game thinks it looks better, but the option exists to shut the model off, then the majority of players is forced to play without (cause theycant give other ppl an advantage) wanting it.

weapon model is not the best example here, but it goes for all graphical configuration options of the game

I always picture tennis players in comedy suits being annoyed that players who don't ware silly suits have an advantage when people take this line of argument.

I have drawgun enabled on pummel, it's awesome.

yes, I to prefer skirts for tennis.

i think quake looks better if i take a black marker and draw a penis on my monitor. Hence not having a penis drawn on your monitor is cheating.

Walter is finally busted.

but how will I know what weapon I am currently using???

Mind bullets.

to kill a yak!

There are plenty because if there were no advantages to it then why would so many people do it?

Secondly, if someone is drawing a gun model vs someone who isn't, there are situations where the gun model will obscure a shot someone without the gun model will see sooner. The guy without the gun model gets a slight eaction time advantage at certain points, particually when the gun model is big.

Its not a huge deal, but all these small little things make a difference.|

If quake was played with a forced graphic setting (I.E. to look good) half the problems with things like ALL AIM NO BRAIN would not even exist.

And the players would not appear to be as good as they are.

"And the players would not appear to be as good as they are."

Removing guns doesn't make players better. Having the gun there makes them worse. They are not saying the same thing and it's always annoyed me that people imply it's adding undeserved ability, I'm not saying you're necessarily saying this.

I have the gun visible on most weapons, as I find it helps me aim with certain guns (guns involving peripheral vision and large flicks)

If I was forced to play one way or the other, I doubt I would really care and after I got used to it my aim would probably be the same as it was before. I just prefer it the way I have it now.

God you're a fucking idiot.

Displaying or removing the model has no impact on the game, so it doesn't matter.

noob

Its all personal preference.

The only thing that really bothers me is fixed FOVs.

The game is mostly played by noobs with no awareness of any other FPS game.
They don't even know what is fov or picmic. 50% of them probably don't know about cfg files.

I don't blame them. They just don't know.
But anything that is not part of their gamestyle is "cheat".


"quit the game"

omg this will change the way first person shooters are played

you can remove weaponmodels?!

noobs are pest.

We should be happy that quake allows as much configuration as it does, and feel sad for other games where it isn't accepted.

.

Disclaimer: I'm going to play devils advocate here and try to argue the unpopular opinion here.

As I understand it, the main reason other fps games place restrictions on configs is to limit the impact they have on a person's ability to play. The smaller the advantage gained from modifying one's config, the more one has to rely on his/her actual skill level to beat their competition.

An example in the quake scene would be blocking rj scripts and forcing players to be able to rj on their own without the use of a script. I'll admit, drawing weaponmodels is a weak example against script users, but the mentality is to promote some level of standardization among it's community.

You should win because you're a better player, not because you have a better config.
