Explain your terminology.

[Fluxy]

Forgive me guys, i'm a total newb to Infiltration and my damn 56k keeps me from playing onlnie anyways, but when I look around here and see people using terms.... I don't understand them.

I can barely remember playing INF way back when, and I actually forget how it is played..... could anyone help and old INF'er?

name some of these terms and we will happily explain them

There seemed to be ones for the different match types, if there are multiple -_-, and i'd like a decrption of what they're like.

 

[Cleeus[JgKdo]]

TDM = TeamDeathMatch
EAS = Enhanced Assault = new INF 2.9 Mission based gametype
SPC/Spec = Specialist = new INF 2.9 gamemode, basically the same like EAS, but only a specialist can accomplish the objectives
DTAS = Mutator for TDM which creates a round based mission oriented game

like these?

 

[Fluxy]

Yeah those were it. Thanks man. Can't wait until i can actually play them. -_-

Even though you're stuck on dialup, still try to find a server to get on. INF is actually one game where you can compete with a higher ping. Just make sure you have all the additional stuff that might be in use (maps, camos, etc) before connecting to the server.

lol. i need to get it first though.

Its not so bad. I play at 28k. Though you do get some annoying lag. Im sure at 56k its a lot better. At 400 ping I usually get a little under a second lag when pulling the trigger and my actual shot being registered, though sometimes its worse.

Actually though, could someone give a good explanation of DTAS? Played it and liked it, though I couldn't tell exactly everything that was changed.

- it's round based -> no respawns & no sniperclasses
- one team is attacker, the other one defender, this cycles each round
- the spawnpoints are random - they change every round
- One of the defender guys spawns a flag/flare after ~10s, this flag/flare is the objective. Attackers have to get with 2 men into a radius of ~14m around the flag. If they can stay there for 10s they win the round. The Defenders can prevent this by putting 2 men of their team into the same radius.

DTAS rules!
