As some of you know I am recording gameplay for my next montage and as usual doing my best to own it up with that lovely sniper rifle... not too long ago while playing in the house of mo on Ice Fields I was going through my usual run and happend to sneak up on two of the other team both backs turned to me and shooting at one of my team. I shot the closest and who i considered the biggest threat first as he did a little strafe jump pumping round after round at my teamate with his fuel rod....cannon I took him down in mid air with one shot to the head. then sighting his buddy and firing away (his buddy was a bit more skilled in moving but I got lucky with my fourth shot or he naded himself and it did the glitch where even if you kill yourself someone else gets credit.. it's hard to tell. but the guy weilding the cannon quickly typed "omfg thats bull -blam!- you cheat" so I infromed him that if he didn't believe me I had it recorded and if he'd like to see it i'd gladly send it to him... i even offered to send the uncompressed version so he could see i didn't edit it .

Clearly this struck a nerve in him and he proceeded to talk about my mother and telling me to... do other things considered rude. I just took it with a pill and told him whatever floats, trying not to be a griefer back. altho he did finaly leave when Icould resist no more and commented sying if he said he could "own me and my mother" then why had he olny killed 3 ppl total and died 12 times... he soon left

BUT to my main point, similar situations have happend like this before. I pull off a good shot they don't believe it I tell them I recorded it and they go section 8 and just wig out. I just really want some advice on how you guys think i could avoid such things.

I mean I could 1. not say anything 2. ask people if they mind if i record the game (which i usually do anyway once i first join a server) 3. keep doing what i'm doing and hope I run into no more griefers or 4. just stop recording and making vids cuz you don't wanna watch it anyway

Jaysin...

#3, always. Just ignore the greefers. If they decide to be -blam!-, let 'em. If they get overtly aggressive, just ask why they suck (if applicable), or what they're problem is (all other situations). Hopefully they'll shut up or leave. I cope with this quite a bit when I'm not on [RS] servers (they seem to get decent people there, who at least understand that just cause you're being Pwned doesn't mean the other guy is cheating. I get pwned there a lot actually... But only by the awsome people like [RS]JAB, [RS]Revenge, or [RS]Asanki. Sigh... Gotta love ur clanmates...)

If your vids were in quicktime, I would LOVE to watch them.

Don't let the idiots get you down,
Yout3

Never let them get ya down. They don't know what they're talking about most of the time and when they do, it doesn't have anything to do with what happened. You don't see me complaining unless it was something whacky like yesterday when I died for no reason, but I don't call people cheaters or hackers. I once was called a hacker and Icepick was once called a bot. We both laughed that game.

Screw 'em if they cant put up with getting beat. Even the best lose. I dont care how long you have been playing for or how good others say you are...there is always a flaw that will be the cause of your death. Or bad luck. lol Either way though, you are going to die. If they get angry and pissy then maybe its time they took a break any how. And I cant wait for the montage. You should be sure to make this incident part of it and enlarge the text if needed just to embarass the sore loser.

alright so i'll continue, and for those that have read the other post about having a forum only server if someone can get that up i think it'd be fun to let you guys watch yourselfs from the PoV of mine lol, but i'm nervous about using the footage of the guy getting pwned mainly because i'm not supposed to record ppl who don't want to be recorded *sigh* i'll prolly use it tho... make me feel better. alright well I got some input and I thank you guys.

I let frustration get to me last night and became that guy. I'm only an average player, usually my kills are a little less then my deaths but lately I've been getting better. I've learned to "dance with the pistol whores"(engaging in a midium range pistol duel strafing back and forth), with some success. Last night I was on fire 20+ kills single digit deaths on the first three servers I was on. Fourth server I go into I get meleed before I even finish spawning. Not a good sign. End of Game stats 3-0 flags They each had 20+ kills and single digit death. We all had 20+ deaths and single digit kills. The worst thing, besides the spawn camping with noob tubes, was that I couldn't hit them with my pistol. The only kills I got were grenades and when I jumped on a chain gun to kill the spawn camper. After reading the stats I texted "That was pure BS" and then quit. The only explanation I have is that they were very used to the lag on that server and it was very different then the lag on other servers or it was their server and they were physically connected on a LAN to it.

Heyyo,

Lol, dude, I just say "thanks for the compliment." :)

Hey, if a greifer thinks your soo skilled you should be considered an aimbot that shows you dude, you pwn. In the world of gaming greifers? this is how they commend us. :p

You seem to be unlucky with greifers dude, I havn't run into many inna while.. most I hear is "Stop camping the flag you cheater!" why... I had no idea DEFENDING the flag on ASSAULT was cheating.. lmao, cracks me up each time... must be my aimbot. =D

Many people still haven't figured out the difference between defending your flag and camping. If no one defended the flag it would be too easy.

Heyyo,

Lol, this's probably what I loved most aboot HL1 & mods, the sprays. One on CS1.6 that I really liked, it was a dollar bill and it said around it "Here's $1, go buy some skills" lol, so he'd pwn someone using really unskilled weapons with a mac10 or something and spray it above their dead bodies, it was good fun. :)
