A mere few days into my time here, January 2002 I got into my first major flame war here with a particular SS.SGW Siggi about how Medal of Honor is a game of no skill and that no one is better than he is due to the fact that you can't be a "good player".

He stood resolutely by his reasoning that there is no skill to playing the game and once you have played it for a few weeks you have learnt everything there is to know and can get no better (even though he said that you cannot be better because it takes no skill - ja)

This went on for pages right up to the point where myself and a friend joined his listen server and he got totally raped, especially by my friend.

He then came here and accused us of cheating and still said he beat us biggrin:

And this was still the demo days, when the only cheat available en masse was the ability to type God in the console and teleportations.

He got shouted down by the forum in general and that pretty much settled me into the community hehe.

This was when shotgun and rocket posts were still in fashion and lasted for longer than 2 pages (most over 8) and the forum was red and yellow.

Whilst I must agree that there is definitely a roof to the ability of players nowadays Siggi's theory really was flawed.

I'd own my demo playing self now hehe.
