Ladmo, I understood your point and agree with it, except that I have never experienced it myself. Also, it is just a game and if people feel like having a laugh by going berzerk with the rockets, good for them. I would find another server if it kept up for too long, which is what I recommend you do.
Siggi, Where to start? You do have some valid points. I am constantly dismayed by the behavior of American children. But, unless I missed something, I think you are being unnecessarily abusive to Ydiss. I have never seen Ydiss be immature or abusive, yet you are consistently so. You don't seem to have anything better to do than come here and complain and abuse people. (And I suppose you will try to exact revenge on me now). You indicate that this is your way of having fun, but most people don't realize that and get genuinely upset.
And you keep harping on the same topics over and over. It's like you take the same sentences and reorder them for each new post. "let's see, this time I think I'll put the sim rant first, then the no skill rant..." Boring. At least try some new rants. And if you have such comtempt for the game, why are you playing it? Go back to your beloved sim for goodness' sake.
I too have experienced lag problems. If they continue, I find a different server. And you are wrong about how lag works. You sometimes seem quite knowlegeable, but you surprise me here with not only your lack of knowlege of the subject, but also your insistence that you DO know about it. Madrebel is right. Lag will make you hit the target where you (and your server) think it is, while the target is getting information late. And yes, the example is good that his shot will not even be fired because it is 'after' he got killed. While it sometimes works in the lagger's favor, in general the lagger is at a disadvantage.
You claim to have real combat experience. Then you should know that anyone, no matter how skilled, can be killed in seemingly random fashion in a battle. The best soldier can be the first to die. Same applies in MoH. Any game, no matter how realistic, could not have players that are so good that they don't die. One random rocket and you're dead. It can even be your team mate that does it. And the same applies in real war.
Oh, the developers didn't intend for the whole team to use rockets? Well then, let's ask them what's okay to do and then do it. It's not like it's a game where you just have fun or anything. Sheesh!
It is utterly contemptible to deprive the software company of the money they are entitled to simply because the game is not perfect. It is a very well done game, better than most. Good profits will likely lead to an even better sequel. It leads in a good direction from other FPS's, and may well set a trend toward the realism that you so crave. So you would hurt yourself by thwarting its success. That sounds much like the selfish spoiled brats that are running rampant nowadays, content to harm themselves as long as they harm others. Are you sure you are not part American?
Why don't you make your own 'sim' and charge whatever you want? Oh, don't know how? Then your complaints have no justification.
I, too, hate the lies perpetrated in marketing. But you seem to be just noticing it now. If that is so, then I have news for you: the same is true in life. So you might as well get used to it and start liking it.
Go ahead. Flame away.
