Feel free to post your opinions on the things that were adressed in inf radio here or to enter the debate on this weeks hot topics.
Well i can't say i'm happy with this. Yes i want the m203 to be tweaked, but i want it to be tweaked so it is MORE realistic, IE tweak it's performance to realistic proportions, increase arming range and decrease the lethal radius. rather then increasing the bulk.
On the Gary issue, I have to say i agree with his 6 points, especially the 1st point wich was about comparing Video games to the effects of drugs i believe. The users come to expect the same "fix" from the game whenever they play it.
People play CS because it is indeed addictive, but to some people it gets old, running to the same spots every round on de_dust, trying to finish every other map ASAP so you can get more of the speedy action of de_dust.
This is IMO also the reason why so many people are complaining about inf being too realistic, because it is no longer able to supply them with the same experience all the time. And this is exactly what I want.
Variety, not just the same thing over and over.
This is the reason why people don't want to relinquish their beloved frag system, it gives them the "fix" they are used to.
I for one would like to see a change in tis, rather then going for ratification trough personal scores i'd like to see a game which gives teamwork in itself as a reward, where working together to reach a goal is the final fix.
This means a much slower paced game where you can't just rely on one simple tactic to achieve success, but you have to continously pay attention and think on your feet in order to be successfull.
This has never been tried before, but it is being tried by for instance World War 2 on-line and Operation Flashpoint and i hope to be seeing inf list amongst these games in the future.
Gary issue number 2
Video games lowering IQ, well all i can say is play CS and you just KNOW he's right
Seriously though, generally people who play video games for reasons mentioned above are not using their time to increase their intellect, they are not learning anything, they just perform the same simple tasks over and over again. It works the same as "robotic" laber, it dumbens you down, takes away your imagination because you are not stimulated to think, just to act on instict. While this may be very relaxing to some it does not do your menthal capabilities any good.

both a large waste of time. However, asides from being a troublemaker, I did athletics and thankfully, began to read later in high school. The addiction argument goes for any hobby that takes over your life. In moderation they are fine, but become problematic if they take over. I encourage people to read and do other things besided sit in front of any screen (for many of you its what youll spend the next 40 years of your life doing
