UT Player Peeves

[[KTSA]ManWhore]

My biggest peeve is when little bastards just come onto the UT forums and bitch about how their graphics suck, and.......

wait a minute.... Grim's not a player.....

nevermind.

Laff'n @ ManWhore's comment.

No, PotLuck, I wasn't speakin of the secondary button on the Redeemer. But I do know that the 402 patch fixed it.
I'm talkin about the option you have in your Preferences, the one where, if you pick up a weapon that is better than the one your using, it automatically replaces it with the better of the two. So, with that in mind, if you're holding a redeemer, and the dood on the other side of the teleporter is holding a hammer, you go thru, you die, he gets your "deemer", but it's too late, he blows himself up because he was already firing the hammer.
Understand what I mean?

Hmmm...all you guys seem 2 share the same peeves against the lamers and campers (oh don't get me wrong, but i join you), but all you ppl have prolly been playin UT 4 quite some time, and more importantly, DM/CTF. Here's a point of view from a fellow newbie:

2 be honest hehehe...I enjoy some respawn fragging and teleport camping! (Well, ONLY when the opposition seems to be too damn good and even though i'm putting up a good fight, i'm at the bottom of the list, AND i always make a humorous approach, so not to piss off the victim =P) But you guys gotta remember, newbies to the UT and DM (especially DM) scene (like myself) can't catch up to better players and have no choice but to settle with using underhanded tactics. Once we get used to it, the cheap frags disappear and we become the good soldiers we should be =).

Now for my peeves: Running on software, with an @home connection that barely passes for a 14.4 modem, trying to use the mediocre skills i'm STILL learning, duelling against higher up players in instagib, and respawning so fast that I can still see my previous two bodies in the death sequences.

Renegade:
O. I. C. what you mean! duh! lol

Rhombus:
Well, that's true. It wasn't until I joined a forum that I found out what was cool and what's not. Heck, I never knew what spamming was until I learned about it on a forum. I have to be honest tho, I didn't know about spawn camping either. Didn't know a frag could be gotten that way. I may have tried it if I'd known maybe... Dunno.
But I camped a lot at other places 'cause I didn't have any idea what the heck was going on.
But we're all newbies at UT anyway. It really hasn't been out all that long. Maybe not newbies at FPS games in general. How long does a game have to be out before someone can claim to be a veteran? *shrugs*

But spawn-camping isn't cool IMO. I just don't do it in ANY circumstance!

I developed a new pet peeve ;ast night actually. At first I thought nothing of it, but further investigation caused me to suspect something was up. I was on the [EX] clan server playin DM. I was ahead by at least six frags in every game which included two of the [EX] clan members (who were in 2nd and 3rd by th way). Suddenly, as I was about to get my 25th frag, which was the win limit, my connection would fail. For the first two games I thought it was just my crappy 56k, but after three more games, I found it wasn't a coincidence any more. (supported by the fact one of the two clan members were runnin the server) That's fukkin weak man. So even though I was "getting booted", I still had fun kickin' the crap outta them lamer [EX] clan mooks! If ya see anyone online with an [EX] in front of their name... kick em' in the junk for me. It isn't to hard to do either...

Yeah BeZerKeR, I've had that happen with online DM. Just the other night got booted twice from two different servers. Go into a game down some points, gain the lead over the guy with zero ping, not a bot, and it's stage left out the door.
And laugh about it, that's what gets ya. I know, I watched it happening at an ex-friends. He put up a server, didn't hold the lead for long and he booted the guy. Laughed as he said, "There! I get the last shot!".
Oh well. I just won't join a server if the admin is playing. That's that.
Problem is, it makes ALL admins look bad. It only takes a couple.

[PitaBred]

Yeah... I know a few good admins, tho. Digger, from the Gate 1 server is really cool, and so is Cyborg, when he runs a server, an so am I. I wouldn't even know how to kick someone... BTW, how can you do kick people as an admin?
