heh, I guess thats what happens when you go on vacation for a week: you miss all the nice flames!
anyway, I've only been able to read the first three pages before I felt like replying, so just ignore me if I'm being redundant.
speaking as a person who's been here for probably around five months so far and witness around three or four "flak sucks" threads, all (well, okay, I'm lying about that) I've to say is: get over it. if you hate flak whores
so much, play instagib! I play IG almost exclusively, and I'm probably a semi-"normal" hpw with a ping ranging from 250-350, and I do fine. people have even assumed I was on cable or something like that.. heh, naw.. I don't have a big head.. I just sound like it
If you can't live with flak, play Q3A or something. The flak cannon is there an I'm glad it is.
if you want my opinion, that's almost like stepping out of the frying pan and into frier. to tell you the truth, I've barely used anything besides the RL in Q3A. I've tried the railgun, but I never last very long because of the RL whorish bots. again, like I said earlier, he doesn't need to do something so drastic. just play instagib
I have lots of IG servers in my favorites if you guys want them, but you can probably find a few threads where I've pimped them before
The part that most people are forgetting is the higher the pings is, the larger the lead is
I realize that, and anyone who doesn't just isn't thinking logisticly. the problem for me is figuring out how
LONG I need to lead. obviously you have a better time than doing it than I do, but it takes me a while to get used to the lag.. (somewhat ironically) especially when its significantly lower than the server/ping I've been used to.
here are those that simply run around holding the button down on primary fire and kill eveyone and themselves. And there are those that use primary in controled bursts and more often use the secondary fire like a grenade launcher
I'm both, actually. believe it or not, I feel more comfortable with hitscan weapons and do better than with weapons such as the RL and flak online. I'm the latter offline.. but its not that hard to do considering how easy bots are to setup, atleast on the skill level I use. I
try to be the latter online as well but in the heat of battle I throw any sort of strategy out the door and barely even realize I'm pressing prifire too often for the fire to even reigster.
