Subject: FraggedNation Needs You!


Posted by: HoleyMoley
I wish H2V was a larger community... It's a pity that a great game like H2 only has around 40-70 players a day. If only it was transcribed onto the PC in a better way, then I would buy it. Even Halo CE has a larger population then H2V (Halo CE is still a great game.)

Maybe if 343i invests later in PC gaming then we will have a new Halo.


I stopped reading at "great game"...

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I didn't. Probably should have, because the jokes kinda stopped there.

I'm not really into the idea of getting into the competitive scene myself as of right now. All the games I play I strictly play for fun. Only one I would even consider competitively playing now is Tribes: Ascend.

I said H2 was a good game, not H2V. And are you serious? I have no objection to your opinion, but I do feel that you shouldn't shoot down my opinion just because you simply don't like it, and the omega man117, with all due respect all you do is troll posts that have to do with H2V. If you don't like the game doesn't mean we have see you BlTCH about the post constantly.

To a certain extent yes, but hitscan and the OP sword are n00by, and glitches were a bit annoying. But we have to take into consideration of how bad internet was at the time so hitscan WAS needed.

ROFL

Alright, here's how this usually goes. I set the record straight by explaining just how wrong you are, and then you vehemently defend the game with a fanboyish ire basing your opinions solely on idealism and misinformation. At that point, nobody who knows anything about FPS gaming will be able to take you seriously.

You ready? Here goes.

The game takes no skill to play at any extent. The game does the aiming for you to the point where magnetism tracks your enemies almost 1:1 and actually curves your projectiles to hit them. The sniper rifle can miss by a yard and still land a headshot. The game uses the flawed "power weapon" approach which breaks game balancing by allowing someone who's otherwise bad at FPS to make up for their lack of skill with overpowered weapons and beat players that are better than them in terms of raw FPS skill.

Your rationale for hitscan being necessary is just as flawed as the common rational for aim assist (that being "hurr durr the game was in teh internets so it lagged and they need to make up for that") because you're completely disregarding the countless online FPS games that came before H2, such as Quake, Counter-Strike, and Unreal Tournament, which didn't need hitscan for many weapons to be effective in an online environment. "Hitscan is bad because it takes more skill to use a weapon without it" would have made a lot more sense than blaming commonplace Internet connectivity of most users at the time as you did. Hitscan is also a viable solution in games heavily based around close-quarters combat because at that point non-hitscan weapon fire would be almost completely comparable to hitscan-weapon fire, and the simplicity of it reduces additional bandwidth consumption for online play as well as CPU power on both the server and client machines.

Your move. :)

Thanks DusK for telling me about that program. Honestly didn't even think about that.

As far as what you said Dr Syx, FraggedNation isn't just all about competition if you don't want to compete but have a good knowledge about running ladders or could even help with anti-cheating then you could help that way. Through FraggedNation I've met all kinds of players from those that just want to play someone a couple of times for fun to those that competitive gaming is their life.

Essentially, FraggedNation is just a meeting ground the ladders and tournaments ran are just to help get the gamers to interact with each other. The only reason that the Halo CE part is doing the year-long tournament is to help get people back in to playing CE for fun or for competition.

I'm not trying to push this on anyone. However, I feel everyone should give FraggedNation a try. If you don't like you can always remove your account.
