Are you skilled, or are you just a gamer?
« on: October 19, 2002, 03:57:10 PM »
This gaming the game has got to stop.

I'm referring, of course, to the totally unrealistic and gamey behavior of running to "friendly" ack when in trouble.  This ack has uber radar-seeking bullets and 88mm flak bursts that only do area effect damage to enemies and not friendlies!!!!  Proximity fuses from CVs go off in furballs and only damage the enemies, not the friendlies.  What's up with this?!?!?

In real war running to a flak battery would be dangerous given the fog of combat.  Friendly AAA on the ground would be just as likely to shoot down friendlies as enemies given such close proximity to one another.

I demand HTC fix the gaming qualities of ack running and ack hiding at once!!  WHO'S WITH ME!!!???!!!!

VOTE A: IF YOU'RE WITH ME
VOTE B: IF YOU'RE A GAMEY GAMER LAMER ACK RUNNING LOSER

Finally, a voice of reason!  VOTE A!

I'd also like to see ACM removed from the game, I find that terribly gamey too.

LMAO, a fixed poll. I love it.

I watched a Typhoon make six passes through our ack today. He ho'd noobs taking off, ran until everyone gave up, reversed and repeated. Finally, he got stupid and climbed above 50 ft. and the ack killed him.

I vote B

I get hit by my own CV ack all the freaking time. Besides if ya want to pull the RL crap, then id rather die from a buddie than have your stinking ars kill me :D

I got a better idea though that may make us both happy. Someone elses idea actually but I don't remember whos it was. It was to remove the 20mm and 37mm acks and add 4 times as many 303's or 50 cals. Not sure how it would affect gameplay but I know id be less likely to run to ack when I think it may not kill the enemy. As it is now, running to ack gives the runner a 80%+ chance at getting a prox kill :rolleyes:


But I do run to ack. So I can't lie about that. But hey im a ROOK and as Hammy would say I HO too :D

ANYONE who has not been shot at in the air is only a gamer.

As long as we can splash you with the rum and light it to make sure that you go down in flames, I'm sure everyone will be happy with it, Urchin...   :D
