So, while I was playin around in BF3, I ran into a large number of weird glitches. Some of which, I have the glorious luck to record. Here lies two videos chronicling my findings so far.
First, Point C is in deep in the earth. And Guile's Theme goes with Everything.
Second, a little montage we have of the weirdness. Do enjoy.
He using a friend of mines' account. The mk0d person doesn't have a graphics card in his PC yet, so Eagle was trying it out. But he refuse to play multiplayer, for some reason.
So. Me and Eagle_66 was bored, and we decided to do a dual commentary. Which turned into a 58-minute podcast. With some form of gameplay while all this going on. Basically was testing Playclaw's new build, and it's pretty successful I'd say. Anyway, for the sake of pure randomness, here's the link! At the very least you'll enjoy the first gameplay of the podcast-thingy. Especially that still-floating rocket? If it was a rocket... O_O. And DAT NAPALM. >_>. Anyway, here it be.
It was epic anti-camper skills judging with on-the-fly trigonometry and flight patterns of the hatefully dubbed "tube", aiming directly at the camper on the rooftop, seen after the tubing device was reloaded, looking down upon me then retreating back to hide, whence the aforementioned "tube" landed next to him, bringing death and destruction by a player who had long forgotten about his launched "tube" and was already searching for another victim.
Ok so... I was livestreaming in AlterIWNet for a friend, doing a little gun game. And this epic epicness happened. And thankfully, it records all my videos. Shitty quality, but hey, you can see what happened. If I sound weird, it's because I was whispering to not wake people up. (Dem in my house have superman hearing jed. I swear. Men across the ROOM can't hear me, but they hear me in the next room. Through concrete walls 5 inches thick. >_>.)
Interesting. This might be quite doable. I dunno if I'd win though. Must think about it.
Also, if it's over $2000 in prizes to be won, don't make the prizes' total add up to $1750... Just sayin. Unless you have extra prizes not listed here?
Now fellas, I don't mean to say that GATT can't do this, but I could count the number of active forum users here without running out of fingers. We need to try other Trinidadian-based clans, for other games. Because if infrastructure set up down here, them could get their own servers for whatever game they want as well. I KNOW it have more than 10,000 gamers in Trinidad who would bun that kinda thing. The trick is finding them. Savvy? Also, signed like a beast.
Ey, if allyuh men want a free, accurate FPS/ping counter for all source games, just pop open the developer console then type "net_graph 1" into it. The source engine prior to L4D1 doesn't always accurately report ping. It's the same thing you'll see in my video of me being that annoying spy
The reason call of duty has such a lead is because of its console roots I'd say. I could safely dismiss CoD anything as PC-gaming-data. It still have thousands of men on CoD 4 at any given time too. Thing is, people find a good, no-bullshit game and live in it. It happens all the time. But most I see take in an hour or so of good ole' CS:S, then leave the game and either play nothing or play something else. The other games I see people launch it, and stay in it for a long time, then get off. But like I realised playing Half Life 2 through just last week: eye candy only takes a game so far. Some games make it to the point of being "timeless". And in other cases, there's not always something better. This is why people still bunnin Halo 1 on the PC. So to put it to the test, when Tactical Intervention comes out, we'll see if men still with CS:S just as much. Since TI is a modernized CS:S, from the maker of Counter-Strike. But I'll still say it, I rather less bells and whistles in graphics with good, rock-solid gameplay any day. Because as beautiful as a game looks, if it plays like what you flush down the toilet, is it really worth playing for the eye candy?
There *is* a new game coming out from the maker of Counter Strike. He's making a game called "Tactical Intervention". It's probably going to be on Source, but it's going to have a lot more in-depth and separating tactics (counter terrorists can repel down through windows, terrorists can use hostages to avoid being shot at, etc). It's still in development. You can sign up for a beta, but I think it's only in the USA right now.
As for "going back to old graphics", if you love a game, you love a game. I who can run metro2033 and GTA 4 (or I could before that blasted 1.5 patch) and BF:BC2 and Black Ops, etc. still find myself going back to older, fun titles. Team Fortress 2 is one, I liked Half Life 2 Deathmatch a LOT too; I think it's very cool, and it's free if you have an nVidia GPU. I think (I don't remember how I got it, but I sure as hell didn't buy it; it's in my Steam list though). I found myself playing Tony Hawk's American Wasteland on the PC the other day. Old game, graphics look horrible compared to anything today, hell it can't even go above 1280 x 1024 resolution. Not even 16:9/16:10 options. But it's still fun.
I think too much importance being placed on graphics these days. I know graphics are important, but I rather play a game with acceptable graphics and superb gameplay than one with beautiful graphics but I glitchin out every 5 seconds, or I feel limited in my gameplay options *cough* why-I-will-not-buy-Crysis-2-and-why-I-regret-pre-ordering-Black-Ops *cough*.
Also, we shouldn't forget, a game that builds up a good player fanbase will just about never die. Plenty people have L4D2 and L4D1, and they still prefer 1. Men still playing Quake 3 Arena/Team Arena online. A man tell me today he have 50 zombie maps in CoD: World at War. The games ain't going anywhere anytime soon, and that should be fine with us.
Besides, with ALL that gaming power you throw into your rig, you CANNOT tell me you never launch Visual Boy Advance/MAME/Final Burn Alpha/Dolphin/PCSX2/ePSXe or any other emulator I haven't heard of, just because the graphics "nuh good enough no more". I lend my sister my PS2; when I want I pop the disc in my drive and play on PCSX2 and bun some SF: Alpha Anthalogy. It's a PC man, embrace its backwards compatibility! It's not an insult, rather, it's a bonus! All that hype-up PS3 cyah play my beloved DragonQuest VIII for me. That Xbox 360 cyah start the original Halo: Combat Evolved. Which, on PC, STILL has hundreds of servers up and running, mind you.
Glad you liked. That's pretty much the state of the game now; almost every review out there that says anything about the game mechanics is pretty much useless. I do wish more people I knew played.
Okay, here's a video I recorded of some Brink PC gameplay. You can determine what you think from that. A full game, it was campaign mode, so the enemy AI were bots. I didn't find that many people that game, usually I find more/camp and use homing beacon so my teammates basically get wallhax for a while. I used the Light body type, so I'm limited to SMGs/snipers for my main weapon, and pistols/machine pistols for my secondary, but I can move faster/parkour to better places. I forgot to mention, but with a pistol in your hand, your melee changes from a gunbutt to a knife; dealing more damage per melee.
