I'm not even going to look now that I am working, The Last thing I need right now is a stats page in my faves +
Bad enough my recent addiction to a plaggy guitar

Just Not enough hows in the day or days in the week for me & I only sleep for around 5 hours a day, Work is 30 hours a work & still there is not enough time

 

[Pookie Bear]

I've not looked at my stats once yet, Where are they ?
That's mad considering I am 3 star multiple account BF2 Dude

They removed it after about 12 hours


edit: playing with a random team against a clan when my entire team RQs - Kearney joins up and a couple other lads who know what they're doing. NM3 - the clan scores 12, we score well over 2k......and then it happened. For the first time ever....the clan RQs! And then I threw a forklift into the lift on NM4 and killed em all (all the reaplcements, that is) lol

You big bully you.

It's because of a few things, I reckon.

- It's an intimate game and it's easier to notice.
- It's because the difference between an impressive score and a total failure can be the tiniest of personal errors.
- If you get killed early on in a long stage because your team are idiots, what's the point of hanging on? Moral support? Or wait for it to happen again?
- If all you care about is winning, why play the last two levels if you're 4k behind? Those stats Valve almost implemented would have ruined the game (for people trying to preserve their records).

RQ'ing is usually due to your own team's inadequacies, but I left an OcUK game yesterday (and you were in it) because it just turned into a typical random game - a few decent people, mixed with people running off, people mouthing off, people playing solo, and me just not having any fun at all. At least I waited until we'd finished the survivors off before I left. If I'd stopped to explain, I probably would have upset someone, so I did it quietly.

gotta agree with this... i keep quiting cos of my team being idiots.. :/ i hate when the game i play is unbalanced and some of you know it hapens a lot when we all go random and game chooses the teams automaticly... we all know who are the good players and who are the weaker ones from ocuk..

Random has to be the fairest way - what else we gonna do, pick captains and take turns choosing teams?

i said we all know who the good players are {you, sharpy, reflux, defrag, knubj3, rob[when he wants to] etc... also the weaker ones who played less than us [ mrk, shivji[notplayingmuch], fish, saikor etc.. cant remember all of them.. we should all swap a bit when we know that one team is weaker and the other one is stronger.. ask knubj3 we played with the equal teams and it was much more fun plus a lot harder also the points at the end were close something like 6500/6300

Right someone hit me up for a game, I need rescuing from my dissertation on advertising theory!

Clan rage quit for the win

 

[Delvis]

People quitted from a game I was in earlier with Knubj3

Nevermind

Was it the game I then got invited to join? It wasn't fair that 2 players went afk at the finale, meaning that we lost hands down on that round We lost anyway, but i wasn't around for the first 2 levels

Yeah it must've been, people suddenly started leaving and going AFK on the NM finale roof for some reason

Shame really, I enjoyed that game.

 

[DampCat]

I left earlier, but it wasn't rage. Sometimes you just have to do other stuff

 

[mrk]

I got anew mousemat today and have generally been busy, was planning on playing this afternoon but never managed to

 

[Knubje]

Ah yes I can explain that one guys. Gnuko's router died so he had to reboot it and one's game crashed.

It sucked especially hard because you had JUST pressed the button to start the finale properly! It's not fun as infected either as I much prefer the challenge.

But yeah in general if I'm playing I'll try and pick people I know and have played with before so it's a balanced game regardless of the randomised teams.

Good games earlier, prolly do some more tonight if anyone is interested prolly after/around 8pm.

Also:

i salso the weaker ones who played less than us [ mrk

ahahahah served!

 

[Durzel]

The more and more I think about the game as it is currently, the more I think it's flawed

If I join a random public lobby, probably 8 times out of 10 it's obvious from the get-go that's a pubstomp - 4 people waiting who have already chosen survivor or infected. Sometimes the random team that I'm on is actually half-decent and puts up a decent fight, usually though it's the other way around. Boring.

Then if you end up in a game where the teams are actually well balanced skill-wise you run afoul of the biggest problem imo - the team that goes infected first has a massive advantage in knowing where the upgrade weapons, Tank and Witch will spawn. The weapons aren't such a big issue so long as the 1st team actually finds them (e.g. NM3 if the first team doesn't check the garage that's straight on, or the room that becomes accessible when you blow the petrol station, etc).

Knowing where the Tank will appear though can mean a massive difference. I played one game where (fortunately) the 1st round I was infected. We got a Tank probably a minute after they left the saferoom - result: they had no upgrade guns, no molotovs, they all died. Our turn - we know Tank is coming early so we spend the entire first part of the game hunting every room for a molotov and getting into a position we can defend easily - result: we kill Tank, go on to reach the safehouse, points difference of 1000+.

Of course the AI Director adds its own lameness to the equation - sometimes one team will have molotovs, pipebombs and extra medkits coming out of their arse whereas the other team gets jack.

All of the above things makes for a pretty bitter playing experience if you're on the losing side of it, even if you're in a team which skill-wise isn't that bad. Whilst I'm not out to "pwn" anyone I can't think of anything more depressing than wearing a team down and having them heal up to green again sometimes 2 or 3 times over the course of a round.

Quite frankly if I'm in a game where I'm getting that vibe I'll quit - I can't be bothered to stick around while the various flaws & random elements conspire to make my experience completely frustrating.

Maybe some kind of "fairness" mod is in order....

 

[Delvis]

Ah, shame that

Get him to buy a new one then

Or get a back up so it kicks in when his other one dies



EDIT:

Personally, in response to Durzel's post, I think the way they have made the Tank and witch spawn in the EXACT same spots for both games is a bit silly......If they just added the 'fix' that makes the tank / witch spawn for both teams, then it would be perfect.

Knowing where the Tank is going to be is a bit of a let down really....takes the 'fun' out of it when your a survivor.

 

[DampCat]

Tank and witch spawning in the same place, as well as weapons, is really lame. The first infected team basically win because of it.
