Whilst I would agree with that to a point (Cov-Ops mostly already do see it as a death-match style game where the object of the exercise is to grab as many enemy uniforms as possible), I have to repeat this:- I'm only asking Bani to make XP optional , not do away with it completely. However I do thi...

it sounds like you dont really want to disable XP, what you want to disable is the ranking and abilities... You could be right. It's the "abilities" specifically that trouble me for Clan games, by artificially enhancing a player's abilities to the detriment of skill, tactics and teamplay,...

Heh Bani You asked me to post here my suggestions for modding ET now that you have the source, so here goes. Option 1 - Customise the XP System I presume that within the ET source there are variables that contain the point scores required to reach each Level. I'd like these variables to be amendable...

In your wealth of ignorance you fail to see that the post you quoted was a response to the one immediately above it, but I guess that's beyond you. Hey smart one, you made my point exactly. You responded to my rant instead of responding to my point, this goes to show you have no understanding of my...

In your wealth of ignorance, you fail to see my entire point all together. My second post was nothing but a rant of excuse for the XP system's existance, my point to you was in the post above it, but I guess that's beyond you. In your wealth of ignorance you fail to see that the post you quoted was...

Now you're starting to make some reasoned arguments. See, you can do it if you try. Your head might hurt for a while but it can be done. Still flawed however. All these things a good player will achieve through practise anyway. A good player will crouch and fire in short bursts so as to minimise spr...

Oh dear, where to start! Kendle wrote: Does a real Thompson or MP40 have a different spread when fired by one person as opposed to someone else? So you're saying that everybody in the real world has the same skill with guns? I'd like to know what planet you're living on. Of course not, is everyone o...

That is 100% ignorance in its finest form right there. That's like saying it is wrong for one weapon to fire differently from another. No, it's like saying "a weapon" (any weapon) in the hands of one player, fires differently than the same weapon in the hands of another player, if they've...

OK, I take back the "peace people" sentiment.... Phog, wtf is your problem? Wtf is ignorant about wanting a players skill to mean something? Of course you choose weapons and classes to suit the map, I'm not arguing an SMG should be equal power to a Panzer, you dipshit. And of course it's a...

Lol, it's all academic anyway. E.T. can't be modded, and UK Clans are absolutely adament the XP system is not viable for Clan games, simple as. Game code affecting the most fundamental aspect of a First Person Shooter (i.e. a person's shooting ability) = wrong, simple as. Though I am pleased with th...

I disagree entirely. No problem, 99% of the Clan scene I know agree entirely with my points, and they're the ones who'll decide whether or not to play E.T. Less spread DOES NOT MEAN LESS AIM. Infact, it means MORE aim! Er, yes, exactly what I said! Less spread means more chance you're gonna hit wha...

(hope I don't need to explain why XP sucks big time for Clan games, but obviously I'd be glad to do so if anyone's got any doubts). OK, here are the 3 biggest reasons XP sucks:- 1) A player lags out / disconnects mid-game (as happens from time to time). Referee pauses, player re-joins. In RTCW this...

Heh Bani First time posting here, so Hello Everyone... I see you have an E.T. forum, does that mean you are planning an E.T. mod? Or does the fact the source code is not available mean you can't? (forgive my ignorance, I know fuck all about these things). If you can/are planning a Mod, the biggest s...
