That's the thing, you can't even tell. For all I know this could be any random CoD player... but it's def from QuakeWorld? His QW play is amazing and very impressive indeed, but this CoD gameplay isn't impressive in the slightest (No offence, no one playing CoD is impressive imo).
He probably hit the skillcap for CoD: BO in 1 day :p and his gameplay looks the same as all the random players that have been playing for 2 years.
All my life i was simply uninterested in any of these games. I mean a target appears - you 1 shot him - its a hyper-super-mega-combo kill. Always thought the problem is with me, cos i knew Quake before these games. Also i though if you knew these games first, its really frustrating to play Quake afterwards as the software dont declare you the mightiest ownator by default.
But finally i found someone i can ask questions =) Its not trolling btw im really interested! So for first, why you play this game? What does it offers? How it is not gets boring for you? I'm really interested what this game offers, especially for you who obv. one of the best QW players.
Also i heard a couple of years ago there will be play for real money implemented in COD: Black Ops. (Sit and Goes). Is it really took place? You earn money with this game?
you may be unaware of this but games didn't get better over time. Go play a random quakeworld pickup, it's the best gaming experience you can get, really.
I like it because I can pick it up and put it down without the drama of quakeworld. I don't have the time at hand that I once had, so this serves as a nice alternative. I find it fun to play as it requires a lot of tactics to stay alive considering the damage of the weapons. Also the CoD engine is built on an old quake engine so many of the same exploits such as long strafe jumps, zig-zag walking, and wall hugging work in the game for speed boosts. The modern day players are completely unaware of these giving me a nice strategic option to get into positions and escape situations that others do not.
I find that ironic since you were the source of lots of drama and played QW more than most people put hours into their job. It's absolutely amazing how different NA QW is in 2012, almost entirely drama free. It's still a competitive game at the core but since the draft league is driving activity fairness is a huge part of the current NA QW scene.
You don't have to win to enjoy QW. You don't have to play 8 hours a day to be at the top of your game to enjoy QW. QW is more fun when the outcome of the game is unknown and the other team can actually win. I can understand people move on and the past is long ago but saying QW has a drama problem and requires too much time says things about you, not QW.
When I was playing quakeworld years ago, I would put drama into it, mostly because all the other drama queens would rub off on me.
Now that I stopped interacting with the drama queens (not going to name any names) and instead started playing with mature individuals, there is a suprising lack of drama and bullshit in my games.
I say gg, gl hf, thanks for the games, and I mean it. If I have some kind of beef, I try to be as respectful as possible when talking about it. And I always try to help players that are new or just aren't as good and that need help.
This isn't any kind of commentary about you personally, its just my experience. :D
edit: Also. We need more old schoolers (like def) back in qw. There are too many +forward headless chickens running around :)
This is why I love quakeworld no matter how badly I get destroyed and smashed around like a little fish in golem's hands the person who did it to me is always kind , thankful and nice enough to give me tips and help me to improve.
I decided to actually try COD recently so I got COD4:MW1 and ended my first match with 80 kills and like 2 deaths :/. Just used the standard M16 and used it all ranges, it was like play insta or something.
Ouch, I'm affraid there are no servers then, because you should still see some..., but here you are
Please understand that this won't change anything and promod is still just a COD game, so don't expect something like the skill ceiling of the Quake series. This is just a mod which gets rid of the COD-ish bullshits (eg.: zillion perks and the ability to nuke the other part of the map;)).
I used to play ffa nuketown(the map in this video) when blackops was new all the time and go 50kills(score limit) and 0-5 deaths over and over... protip: set a bind for when you get helicopter to set your sensitivity to 9999 so you can aim the gun reasonably and you get 20 kills every single time.
Competitive cod is boring, raping retards is something you can do for an hour when you're bored though. nuketown ffa was so much unlike cod in that it wasn't slowpaced hiding behind corners all day that it made blackops enjoyable for me.
