[LunchMeat]

ok, the leader of [c.E] decided he wanted to change things up a bit w/ the server. so first he added a ton of maps (mostly fy_ types) and then decided to mess with the gun order. i don't know exactly what it is anymore because it's not quite so intuitive... but some of the guns repeat.

usp, p228, deagle, five-seven, dual elite, knife, m3 shotgun, tmp, xm1014 auto shotgun, scout, mac10, mp5 navy... and then it gets screwy. i might be slightly off on those listed, but i think it's pretty close. there is a required nade kill part way through (level 15 or so) and another towards the end (level 28). the last few levels are: ... p90, awp, nade, deagle, knife (x2). it definitely took some getting used to and i didn't like it at first... but it's still gun game, just a different order. the nade in the middle usually makes it more competitive because it gives people a chance to catch up some. the weird thing is that sometimes when you get knifed, you don't lose a level. i still haven't figured out why this is... but it has saved my rear a few times.

the other thing that he decided to do (at the end of the month i think) is to drop the map cycle down to about 10 maps and get rid of some of the dead weight. i know for a while there it was only custom maps being played, but now there is a better mix again of standard maps (dust, dust2, office, etc.) and customs (mini_dust, fy_"whatever" or aim_map types). the best thing though, is that on the standard maps he edited the spawn points so there is no more spawning way the hell away from everything where it takes you half a minute to even hope of seeing someone.

anyway, you should play it a bit and let me know what you think. recently there have been a lot more players on and fewer bots. though, i'm not sure why this sudden surge in interest has happened on the server, but i won't complain. oh, the bots have increased in skill also. he changed them from leet to super-leet or something. they even knife me sometimes! gah!

Lol, scary bots. Yeah, I'll give it another chance. I was just playing it and it was so screwed up I gave up on it. I like the progressive guns. I always have a problem on nade, and now starting players are raping me with the m4 while I'm stuck on the early nade Not that it didn't happen before, but it just feels like its more disproportionate now. Crappy players get awesome guns right away and then they mess you up. Before at least, it was the best players at the top consistently because the rest of us just got left in the pistols ;P I guess this will balance it out somewhat, but it's gonna take some getting used to for me...I was to set in the old style I finally get used to it and start doing well and bam...they screw with my world. I like that surfing map...they still have it?

yeah, but i think it's kinda special request only as i haven't seen it any other time except when Untitled changes it there. as far as starting with awesome guns - he had it set for a while where you start with AK which i thought was ridiculous (and said so). now it starts with pistols and progresses what i would call normally at the beginning, but about 10 levels in it starts to get screwy...

the super-leet bots are scary enough and when he was giving them automatics to start it was tough to do anything against them because it was like spawn, hs... aw man. they still sometimes manage to get up to better weapons, but at least they stay stuck on pistols for a while!

Anyways, I've tried that server that you guys play on, but I get kicked because my ping is too high. Don't remember exactly how high, just knew that due to the ping I would not get the first shot off whenever I ran into an enemy. My guess is about 100-150 (ping). HE nade is my favorite weapon. Probably be the only rounds on that server which I won't struggle in.

Spoiler so you can skip my story if you want.

Spoiler:

lol, sounds fun, problem is in gun game when you are on the nade level...everyone is shooting at you and you have no gun. Generally its a throw the nade where you know people always are and hope somebody is standing there weakened by others fire, then go knife someone

nade level is slightly easier now... not much, mind you, but a little bit. you get a nade pretty much right after the previous one explodes, so there isn't a ton of time waiting to get your next one. on the down side, there are no more gas nades. i always liked watching people avoid the smoke clouds. it was like herding sheep or something. that and it was really satisfying seeing someone get killed by it and losing a level (especially a teammate, haha).

lol...stupid gas...I hated that crap especially when like 6 people were on that lvl in pacman so you couldn't move without being hurt

on a side note, the server says it needs a password to join now...any ideas?

i've seen it that way once in a while and i think that they are just doing maintenance. it should be up soon if it isn't already.

dude. ben you're ranked #2 on the server.

check it out

and [LunchMeat] is back up to number one... not because of me or anything, haha. congrats! (i grabbed a screenshot just in case you don't see the link before tomorrow)

Niiiiiice

holy $hit...how did that happen? Gotta be a glitch

i find it amusing that we're currently 84 (Turkey) and 85 (Bologna). the rest of you fools should dish out the $10 bucks and get in there with us!

lol, we rule :D ... and the clan is still a solid #1

nice. I know this was mentioned previously, but I cannot remember (and have not bothered to check the old forums for it), but who's in the clan? There is bologna (Ben), turkey (Alex), and I don't remember the rest.

we've had tim, dan and mark all play with us... but the term 'clan' should be used very loosely. i think ben was trying to get someone that he works with to play also, but he would have to comment on that. if your internet is any better now, you should jump on with us. you can pick your meat!

Yeah, my friend keeps telling me he'll play, but I haven't actually seen him on there yet, and I don't see a record for any other lunchmeat's on the server. I'm trying to get him to come over and I'll make sure he gets on then so we can get another member logged on the scoreboard :D Though people are starting to get to recognize me too now...not just alex.

huzzah!

lol, we both went down in skill, we both moved up 6 rank points and are still occupying adjacent ranks :D

Hehe ... with the ping capped rather low I don't know if I'll be able to keep it low enough from being kicked. I keep trying every now and then ... ... though having Windows Vista (Ultimate) on the best computer at home doesn't help. Windows Vista just doesn't allow steam to work properly. (That computer is my brother's, thus I can't change it. Long story short, he's thinking about changing to Windows XP, but is unable to at the moment... ... or any foreseeable moment.)

damn, that sucks Thats why I didn't upg to vista right after it came out. The new OS never works very well for about 3-4 years after being released. And from what I have heard, it doesn't even offer much more over xp either.

Was looking through the awards, and you are in the top 6 on every single one alex...congrats. You are top in kills and in the top 3 on all but 2 of them. Of course...you are also in the top of the worst teammate category

hrm, i wonder how worst teammate is calculated...

not that i think i'm denying it. well, in gun game anyway.

stabbing people in the back? alex >.<

haha, except you can't! friendly fire is off. maybe stealing kills when someone else has done most of the damage?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its calculated as taking a kill where 80% or more of the damage is done by someone else (not sure of percentage, but its not just more than 50 because I have about 300 of those kills )
