However, in a clan match or semi-organized pug, this is a tactic that is very effective at ending a match quickly and IMO it should only be used that way. But, who am I to tell anyone else how to play a game they paid for?  They might just be practicing for a clan match.  Then again, they may just be trying to annoy you

 

hey aqua u should of seen da 2 headshots i got on D yesterday it was FANTASTIC!!!!

 

LMAO - it only takes one headshot to piss him off completely.  Two probably sent him over the edge!

 

LOL...he tried 2 b funny by sniping dA flag carrier but he got DENIED!!!!

 

A clan match is about winning within the context of the game.  The game makers provided various weapons and routes per map for a reason.  You simply don't like the fact that an opposing team is able to effectively deploy these weapons and routes to completely shut you out of a win.  Period.

 

Who are you to decide what is fair and clean within the context of this game?  Who are you to decide the "rules of fair play"?  Who are you to decide "right or wrong" with regard to how others play this game?

 

I think you just happen to be the one making the most noise about it and are always busy recruiting others to your cause.  I for one have grown weary of listening to you cry about things like a person picking up a sniper rifle in a map (which was provided by the game maker) and using it effectively against you. Try polishing your skills to counter this tactic instead of attempting to garner community support for your stance that this is unfair and unsportsman like.  Or we need to go into private servers so I don't get headshot.  LMAO - what a joke.

 

You really need to look at the theme of this game.  Take a close look at the design and purpose.  If you want a picnic lunch with your clanmates, schedule it outside the game because UT3 is about headshots (there's even a trophy for it), killing sprees, rampages and so-forth.

 

If I pick up a sniper rifle in a clan match, I promise you a headshot, maybe many headshots.  I'll snipe you off the top of the cables in Suspense with the tank too.  Or is that unfair and wrong too?  Give me a break here man, you are WAY off base on this.

 

Look at the last two words in your post and tell me where the real problem lies... it's "competitive" Potorikan, not "cooperation".

Whilst we can implore others to play the game right its their take on what can go down, and yea the play their money so they takes their choice. We ain't gonna like it if were on the receiving end but I guess we dont see it if were on the side that has the snipers. Just gotta get better with the shock I guess. Dunno bout Halo - sh1ts more like COD tbh. A legit tactic if used proly but when over used then Zzzz game. In organised games your team numbers are 5-6 typically so 3 snipers in VCTF = fail. I just share the guys pain thats all. Here's to an end to flak snipe flak snipe by the rank and file and the usage of other weapons. Maybe they'll all return to link and rockets haha!

HAha u guys are B1tch snipers too. Me im just a snipers b1tch...cant snipe for puss1e. I aint got the patience to learn then camping in 1 spot? No tnx...got some cool headshots on peeps though cos i tend to pick up the nearest weapon.

 

You may out type me and you may out quote me, but this is an arguement you can't win.  I have applied logic to your postition and it doesn't measure up.

 

Your view of "the glorious A-R" is astonishing and disappointing.  You have been hell bent on tarnishing our reputation since our inception.  I feel it is out of jealousy and nothing more.  A couple of A-R guys managed to piss you off and you lump the entire team into your argument.  Those same players have pissed me off on more than one occa**ion and I discussed this with you via PM.  You even wanted to dictate how A-R deals with those players and argued that we should publicly humiliate them on this site.  That's not how it works either.  You don't get to call the shots.

 

As for get better or get beat... that's the purpose of this game.  It's a game.  A war game.  You sound like you want the Red Coats and Patriots to line up and face off like the days of old and the win is by attrition.  LMAO.  That's not how it works.

 

When a mediocre player stomps around trying to get better players to slow down and adhere to some unwritten set of guidlines for the game so they have a chance at a win, that player should expect some "push back".  You're being pushed back.

True, but thats just the point. Hes more effective cos hes come via PC and taken the time to perfect it for PS3. If youve tried kbm then you'll know why most ppl use controllers. I have never really adapted to playing this game using a controller till now and thats cos of the attraction of it being online with none of the foolish BS from PC arena - seemed to motivate me. 

Headhunter's just using a natural advantage and I gotta say he's very very good with a sniper, shock and switches to flak close up. KBM allows him to do so with speed but i guess there's always an option for us all to master KBM - it aint exactly an exclusive OR sniper too for that matter. To each his own. 

Anyway im off to the Apple shop to get an optical cable so i can watch movies via iPhone and Mac Book. Then im gonna instant hit the lawn with the mower and spam the beds with my strimmer cos its NOT raining today!!! 

I'll leave you ladies to duel with yer handbags hee hee hee! PeaceXx

 

 

lol

 

You and who?

 

I saw that coming a mile (kilometer for you euro punks) and it was still hilarious!

 

Sigh.....

 

But who will add the fuel? Where is Rev Crow when you need him?

Haha Lol - I was gonna post that a few hours ago, not like the blessed Rev to miss a baptism. Jk Ok!

Sorry but thats no implication "this lame mode" that's a statement. I've put it in green but i'm sure you can work out why for yourself. 

And to the theory that "so many players like to only play vctf" that so many anti-VCTF campaigners like to promote as a fact I'd just like to say that I play most modes. When I do drift from `VCTF to other modes I see other VCTF players playing in those modes too. And if you would like I could reel off a long list of VCTF players who cross mode OR maybe you could post a 'How many of these modes to you VCTF players play regularly' poll to confirm or refute what I have just said.

C'mon be fair! Don't start hitting on modes that are more popular than the one you prefer. WF is an awesome mode but all i hear is there aren't any good games left in WF. Yet there's Bain's server sitting idle and 20+ excellent WF saying the same sh1t. To think the All Star Games were not so long ago eh! A little more constructive thinking and positive effort could see your beloved mode restored to some former glory and there would be a lot more happy bunnies bouncing around in the woods. If only eh!

True say mate! That guy Landrell he may be a c0cky so and so but give the guy credit, he dont sit there camping - he hunts the flag and foot players like his GF promised him a bonus  And there are more guys like him too. Krister - KShaker talked from day 1 and played by not camping, Lorivolpone, Zero808, VKrazy - sniper come flag hunter turned flag runner, Wingzero, Michael559 - Need I go on?

Envy-See your point bt Ive been killed by ppl campling redeemer, tank node, DW node, boots in WF. Tis easier in vehicle modes - maps are bigger. CTF killed by campers in Omnicron and Reflection and Hydrosis. TDM killed by campers in Arsenal Deck Defiance but oddly no one camps for long in Rising Sun.Wish u luck with WF revival. I tried to load the GOW map pack on my server - all but one failed and the one that ran crad=shed the server cos of missing textures etc. But at least thay offer some light.

this guy always wants to compare modes when its not even the topic. warfare is a great mode.  we get that. it doesn't have to be brought into every topic of discussion

 

Aquaknot

i will agree with you on your point. in a clan match-everything that is respectable is very legal. a team of 3-4 snipers most likely would'nt be a problem. (that is not to sound c***y but a simple statement made because clan matches are more organised and things are handled differently and accordingly because you play with a consistant group of people)

 

mega tron-

i believe you're commenting on a mode you don't play very much. hey i could be wrong. no one is crying about anything it was a simple statement i made that got twisted way out of porportion for some (thanks trin for tryinjg to clarify) if you (one person) is getting sniped by 3-4 snipers and you can't make it mid field you try to do something else right? that leaves staying on base to at least try to keep the other team from scoring. just my opinion.

 

necro

in answer to your last statement i didn't start a fire i just gathered the people to the camp site. lol. don't want you to feel like i'm attacking you. you happened to be in the particular game i was refferring to but this wasn't a one time thing it happens on occasion. i play this game to have fun. being target practice in a pub isn't fun for me. so when i'm not having fun i just leave and call it a day. 

 

 

at the end of the day we are gonna play the game as we feel. i just wanted to point this out and it's at no particular individual. play at your strengths and play at your weaknesses thats how we all get better. if you play at a strength 24/7 and thats all you do then it will seem your playing just to irritate people cause thats all they see you doing. 

it took me forever to adapt to the kbm on ut3.. its very sloppy and i would miss alot of shots that on pc would be easy.. but im not complaining.. the controller is just as hard if not harder.. im just pointing out that like xkali said.. the support is awful !.. maybe on purpose..

 

another thing people havent mentioned about kbm is the keyboard side of things.. doing things in vehicles like kamikazing your vehicle into someone etc i found alot easier on controller, and even once i had it properly binded to the keyboard alot of the times (id say in between 10%-25%) that you press a key on the keyboard it wouldnt even recognize (same with mouse clicks).

 

ive already explained my wierd weapon cycling to remy that i use for quakelive.. but its just what i use and it works incredible for me.. thing is in ut3 i couldnt use it because those keys arent bindable in the ps3 version.. so i was basically playing without one of my greatest strengths.

 

but overall this is what i would say about kbm on ps3.

1. if you dont suck at mouse you can snipe better

2. alot of annoying things will happen and you will have some headaches dealing with it

3. if you have sick aim on a controller.. imo you are better off with the controller.. it fires every time you click r1, unlike when you click the mouse, it jumps everytime etc etc.. just being able to rely on the controller is a huge bonus and i wouldnt use kbm unless i was skilled with it.

4. took me MONTHS to adapt back to pc kbm and play efficiently.. now that i have i dont think i could ever deal with the downfalls of the kbm support on ps3 again.

5. it was most likely pa**ed thru QC with these issues figuring it makes it more even.. which i wouldnt argue with.

6. during the first 6 months of this game i was pretty much untouchable.. and guess what.. i couldnt even wall jump.. some people havent been around very long and dont realize originally the kbm didnt even have double jump or wall jump support

I know its not a proper comparison (kbm ut99 vs controller UT3) but close enough.

 

Sniping is DEFINETLY EASIER, another thing that would give kbm users an advantage, in my opinion,  is the lateral movement and Aim centering with KBM

 

Ive gone up against some KBM guys on foot in Vctf that have the ability to dodge laterraly (not one way) while keeping the secondary link constantly on you as the dodge side to side. its brutal. and impossible on controller. at least with the way i have my settings.

 

However, I'd say what deadaim said is pretty much spot on if the kbm support is, in fact, that glitchy.

 

lol especially when they're shooting at u wit a rocket launcher and u put a longbowed to dat face cla**ic!

You have mostly good people, and then you have some not so good.

You have those who live and understand the concept of community and those who don't.

The only difference is in the real world, the are rules and people who enforce them.

In the Ut3 community we are self regulated. So there will be abuses. It can't be helped.

There are imperfect people operating in imperfect conditions.

Once in a while you'll get a good match in a pub, share some laughs with good peeps.

Sometimes you won't.

This forum is like  therapy, you can vent your frustrations all you want but in the end you're better off understanding the reality of Ut3 just like the reality of the world.

Even with laws and a policing functions there will always be criminals and antisocial behavior even in the real world. In that context i think were doing ok.

just my 2 pennies

thats y i dont use it i only use rockets (that lock on) and flak thats all i got

 

well, many weeks ago, i downloaded the Snowreal, but, i saw on internet, you got a skatetable and, idk how to use the words to describe, but all know that, mine doesn't work like that, mine work like a DM in all the maps. and sometimes i done a host server called: VEHICLES WAR.

 

is a VDM, lol, pulzee VTDM remember me to DSX VTD Team, lol, so, the ppl who join. they like to play it, now we can say, VCTF is not a DM, go to Vehicles war to get somethig like that, lol. but why not? will be great for the vehicles lovers. lol.
