PSYTEX

Blegh, those debates were kind of silly. I won't comment further since I don't even remember a time when EAS was played in the last 5 years.

Note also that some of the perceived flaws of EAS were considered remedied via DTAS, notably by DTAS players. Also that many players will play TDM and probably enjoy it to some extent, despite stating a preference for DTAS. So really I never saw it as EAS/DTAS vs. TDM. And sheesh the rate at which EAS died man that was pretty quick guys.

Hello!

The sh.exe is very unstable in Win7, and I always spent some minutes to start INF with PsyTex (abnormal program termination). ;(

I tried compatibility, etc, but it didn't work.

Now i use KSH from the "Subsystem for UNIX apps" and i made a .sh a .bat file for it.

Here you are, if you have problem with sh.exe.

I was only joking about dividing. Hehe i guess you guys know that.

Talking about dividing communities, blame TDM.

EAS had some great missions though. I remember some really tense matches back in the days. For me personally DTAS was the better of the two because it would work with any map and spawnlocations were random. I always liked to play on big maps but most people prefered small / TDM -ish maps.

TDM was always the matchkiller. TDM minded people never felt the need to proceed with caution but choose to rush run&gun. DTAS is a territorial team game that doesn't work when played in a TDM mindset.

No idea what i'm on about here btw.

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I think neither TDM nor COOP did any community dividing, they just appeal to different player types and, perhaps most important, have a lower needed ammount of players than DTAS/EAS.

When I started playing Inf online there were just a few servers left - most of them TDM - with a large enough community to get nice matches about three times a week, plus the occasional DTAS (or more seldom EAS) event. The more people stopped playinf Inf, the less often DTAS occured, frankly because some of the TDM people didn't want to play DTAS and you need at least 6 people to play DTAS. In comparison you can play TDM with about four people and still have some fun - so IMO TDM was more played because it needed less players to be fun; when more peolpe joined there was sometimes a chaneg to DTAS but more and more often people just stayed on TDM.

Then along came COOP and wasn't overly popular except for a hardcore crowd; I started to play COOP primarily to pass time and wait until some people joined to play TDM - after all COOP can be played alone, and still provide a bit of fun. With the community shrinking further I started to play more COOP, since TDM with one or two others isn't something I consider fun, but COOP with one or two others is. Nowadays I play COOP nearly exclusively since at the times I play TDM servers are empty 99.9%, plus I started to prefer COOP for some reasons over TDM - the main one being that it can be played alone.

From my point of view with a shrinking community it was logical DTAS "died" first in favor of TDM because TDM needed less people to play. Now the same happens with TDM with COOP being the most played gamemode since it can be played with the least ammount of players.

I personally probably will continue to play Inf until the last server gets shut down, since I enjoyed all gametypes I ever played - EAS, DTAS, TDM and COOP.

And Psy: you didn't make Inf any less accessible than it was before Psytex - the one thing you did introduce was severe COOP troubles due to serverpackages though

EDIT: I just joined XploD COOP and found I forgot to say one more thing to you Psy: THANKS FOR THE ARGENTINIA DPM CAMO, IT ROCKS!

You're welcome. Funny how I actually wanted to drop that camo, but put it still in because done is done.

Drop a desert DPM camo

Why on earth would you have done that?

I guess I'd only be more happy if it came with desert or green vest and a spectacle face

I sent you PM
