Radar.

I don't want to start a verbal war here, but I think people using radar online is not cool. To answer the responses of the people which will attack me on this subject: 1) It takes the fun out of the game 2) You can't accept losing, you'll cheat if you have too 3) Don't tell me "I have it on, but its not as if it works, its very distracting.", I tried it once, worked fine, and I killed everybody 4) Why am I writing this, its not as if any of you I LUV RADAR guys are going to own up to it and embarass yourself trying to fight for the lost cause, lol

I'd have to say that I hate server admins who leave the player speed at 65% and give players more than one life each.

Definetely downloading garbage maps, voice packs and skins that server ops deem cool. People dont want to play online if they have to DL 20MB of crap just to play. I think people want to be able to DL the game and 'official' packs and play, having everything self contained.

I hate the guys that are on your team and either

a. blast the hell outta you if team damage is on.
b. keep switching teams to lower the scores
c. blast the hell outta themselves to lower a team's score.

those guys are asswipes

Coffey Can Nailed it. Alot of those options on the poll don't apply to INF, but in UT the custom skind on nude chicks and dinosaurs with cannons strapped to them really make me wanna puke. But in INF, Coffey is right on the money. 100%

IMHO, having the server speed at 65% is realistic. My friends and I have psuedo-tested this, but UT's 65% is about what real life speeds are. (go ahead. run, time yourself. then go and run in UT at 65%. same thing, huh?)


As for giving you 3 lives or whatnot, well. That's another subject entirely. You've only got ONE life to live. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Then why on earth are you here? If you don't like Unreal and don't even own UT.. Am I missing something?

People who camp during standoff team deathmatch, and the fact that populated servers that aren't playing it are hard to find

[Dogboy]

a few things...
1> I hate people telling me, and others, how to play. Don't waste your breath, because I'm not listening. If you wanna camp, fine, makes the game more challenging. If I want to use cover, I will. If I want to charge in with my M-16 blazing,then thats what I'm doing. If I want to snipe, DEAL WITH IT!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

2> I hate the HK-69. I'd say at least[I] 85% of the time I'm fragged Its because of that damn 40mm HE grenade being rammed through my teeth.

3>I hate one life. Now I know alot of you people love the 1 life to live thing and say that is more realistic (unless your Buddhist) but I like that second chance...that other oppurtunity to wreck some hate and discontent. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Come on, God. Answer me. For years I'm asking you why: Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice, where is punishment? Or have you already answered. Have you already said to the world, here is justice, here is punishment. Here...in me...

[FabulousRex]

Nah, the REAL scourge of all online play is an oldie, but a goodie: spawn campers. I _never_ have spawn camped ever. It is just stupid and makes the game less entertaining. 'Wow! I just got kill #34 off of a guy that was in-game for 2secs!' I mean, where's the challenge in that? Why not let them grab something and make a match of it? (I usually don't give them a chance beyond that though, if you can sneak up and take their head off with a shot gun, do so...)

[MrLaggy]

On a related subject, it would be nice if (on maps which don't have a convenient armory near the spawn points) servers started the players with at least an MP5 rather than just a pistol, so we don't have to spend the first thirty seconds running around like crazy looking for a weapon which gives us a chance against the other team.

[DarkMateria]

What I hate most about Inf Online is that on most maps (Pstation, Prison, Base, Blackwings are the worst) there are way too few spawnpoints for 10-14 players. It's not unusual to be spawnsplatted in 7-8 of 14 rounds. Each team automatically get a -4 at the start of each round, which usually leads to NEGATIVE team scores after 14 rounds.

Its such a small thing for a mapper to put in a few more spawnpoints.

[deathren]

I LIKE unreal, Im just not an online gamer, I liked to try to get past the mine levels with the inf weapons... in single player, and Ive made an awesome (Well, I think its awesome...) little temple map with triggers and refeective floors...
And im here because I like to watch Infiltration grow, even though i cant play it. I have tried to convert InfiltrationUT to unreal. And I just cant seem to find a copy of UT araoun anyehre. and FYI, I can't play online! read because it gives me some "FEMALE1Skins version mismatch" bull****. (sorry im cranky, friend is pissing me off majorly...You wont even beleive what he got upset about, I really could go on for so much longer....)

i hate admins that set it so you only spawn with a pistol. on a realism not let's consider this. i'm a special ops soldier. i'm about to go into a heated battle. but oops i for got my m-16 so i guess i'll just take this stupid weinnie gun. personally whenever i run a server i have it set so everybody gets full armor a pistol, m-16 and grenades with full ammo for all of the above. makes it more fun. your not punny on the spawn that way either.

the other thing i hate is lack of communication. even a loosley organized team will beat a bunch of individuals. i know people that don't even have a chat key bound. now i know typings a pain but you can bind all the basic voice commands to keys. let people know whats going on for a change.

1 : When a player think they are good because they stick to a powerful weapons that is mostly 1 shot kill... (UT:Strike Force)

2 : When players keep teleporting themselves as a way to move around... (UT)

3 : When i waste ammo on a guy that is not where i see him (lag)... Or when they seem to phase in and out of existance... (UT: Strike Force)

4 : Players that flame me for trying to stay alive by hiding and sneaking around to beat thoses godlike players that seem to have no weakness. (UT:Strike Force)

5 : Having a team that does not know teamwork and don't even try to. (All games)

6 : Team games that end up being a disorganised respawn fest free-for-all. (Delta Force 1-2)

It's enough for now :
