Gimble ctf is a ladder game; You win that round, take your vets, move on to the next. It's true that it is a FFA game and other games, such as float, are not played under the same rules. But that's the way we like it! Play it any way you like. With people that understand your re-definition of the g...

jason_ac

Needless to say, if you did that to certain players, you'd get hate played not for just a couple of games, but ever single time they played in a game with you. Hogkiller can attest to that. Well, I'm not saying *I'm* going to play that way. But, if someone does (like any non-vet), and some egotisti...

Attacking a flag out of order, on some maps, isn't a fair strategy. It's rude actually. It would be an honest attempt to achieve the objective, therefore fair. Maybe not a good strategy, maybe not a winning one, but it still IS a strategy, and it's the one the player chose to try to win the objecti...

jason_ac

if people are trying to play the objective why would you give up your flag to backdoor another player, only to get banged on by their opponent and your former opponent later in the game. I never said it was a good strategy. Let me say it a 3rd time, since it didn't seem to register the 1st 2 times....

seems like doubling people in a gimble ctf would be a <0> strategy, buddy <0> is irrelevant. It's a game. If it works out as a double, so what? As long as people are good sports, and trying to play the objective, everything else is irrelevant...ganging-up, cowering, running away, retreating, campin...

Yep. Like I said, maybe it's a crappy strategy, depending upon what other players do, doesn't make them a jerk. Maybe they left units behind, maybe they didn't, maybe someone goes for his flag, maybe he gets lucky and no one does. Bad strategy <> jerk.

jason_ac

It's always a situational call, but your example is terrible. It was your example, not mine. And yes, it's a situational call. But if that unlucky player is going to manage to retreat a few units and escape, I'd rather just wipe him out (& get some vetting in the process). If it's a scrub, they...

Same thing with KOTH. Yeah, you can attack your neighbor who's trying to fight 3 places at once for the sake of the gametype, but you're the one being the asshole for doing so, not him for railing on your ass in post.

jason_ac

if you're referring to gimble CTF, that is the traditional way to play (made by gru [not exactly a skilled bunch of players]) The idea that a player should be abused as a n00b because they didn't go after the flag someone thinks they "should" have gone after is ridiculous. Sure, if you re...

When people say "4 baller" or whatever...are they referring to the ratings that MWC organizers have assigned to past entrants? Or what does this mean?

jason_ac

honestly if players are tired of getting beat down by jerks that should be motivation to get better and make them eat their own shit (while being polite) Playing with unpleasant assholes is less enjoyable, no matter whether you're winning or losing. If that's the only game a person can find, they m...

jason_ac

The issue isn't shit-talking or posturing, the issue is that these players are genuinely bad apples. They are poor winners and losers Yes. Going ballistic, raging abuse at people, and saying "you're a piece of shit fucking idiot" isn't shit-talking. It's just being an unpleasant asshole. ...

I did recently make this editable wiki table
http://mythipedia.wikia.com/wiki/Playing_Times

where players could list their playing times. If people did that, and kept their info up-to-date, it might be a way for people to find good times to play.

all that is left is retarded autohosts hosting horseshit like bombing on the wall. is it feasible to have a server operated auto host or changing it so that autohosts can be controlled by players instead of hosts?

the newer souless in game, with proper lighting from the rendering program, looks like exactly the same as this one in the 2012 screenshot. Looks exactly the same? Even though the new properly-lit Sol has greens & browns that clearly are not in the in-game Sol? Maybe it's an alpha channel thing...

jason_ac

It has *NOTHING* to do with bit-depth and he knows it. The bit-depth explanation doesn't even make sense at the most basic level, because bungie's soulless (and every other unit) is 8 bit and looks just fine. I thought perhaps he was using a larger # of unique colors than Bungie did, and so some of...

jason_ac

To say bungie souless look "better" IMHO is rather silly. They are super blurry and look like garbage. Do they have white skulls? Sure they do, but they have far less colors in them as well. As you said, waiting until the myth engine catches up with a public release of 32 bit collection s...

(punk, I figured I'd reply to your Tain comments here) So if someone runs a proxy metaserver elsewhere around the globe, is the idea that it has to be a dedicated 24x7 system, or something they just run a few hours at a time (if that's what they want to do)? And if their metaserver goes down, what d...

It is not just a matter of 32 bit to 8 bit color conversion. There is also the major hurdle of working with the primary and secondary colors that are used to support the team colors you see in game.
