omg omg omg, u killed me in the FOOT

So fscking what? It's a game.
omg omg omg, your knight killed my rook by JUMPING on it Don't get me started.

i also dont mind the idea of scaled damage per body part, i'm not a fan of realism, but i'm a fan of accuracy, and the more bonuses you get for being able to aim well the better imo. Urban Terror has a ridiculous amount of damage zones. At first they had zones like "waste" and "groin...

Well ouroboro, it doesn't make sense to argue with you because you are seeing the issue from a completely different perspective. I once thought like you but years of playing Urban Terror have thoroughly disillusioned me. :) Gameplay always _has_ to come first. And like I said, future games will cert...

i frankly don't give a sweet shit what ppl cry about, i'm gonna whine equally loud to have this unbelieveable leetness implemented by default, or even hard coded into etpro Smile individual body part boxes simply *IS* leet. full stop. whiners be damned. Aligned hitboxes sound great in theory, but i...

Not really, I'm playing with Linux since several years and this kind of drastical difference simply doesn't happen, unless the configuration on one of the systems is broken. Usually FPS are around the same on Linux with decent drivers (ATI drivers are pretty crap atm, Nvidia drivers are fine). I'm w...

As far as I could gather from reading information regarding the new Razer mouse, the problem with 8ms polling is rather that X/Y offsets are send as values from -127 to 127, so it would probably become less accurate when there is too much offset between two polls, which is more likely to happen with...

In my experience, the bank is very hard to do for allies unless they get in some good spawncamping to prevent axis getting in place, and its a cause of full holds where a team gets down to the bank in 5-7 minutes and then spends the remaining time unable to get in to the gold. Changes to the bank d...

Yep, that would certainly help.

That's an interesting point, but then you'd need at least two verified configs and that certainly doesn't scale well.

Well I heard that there might be a way to callvote different map scripts, that would allow us to offer as many alternative scripts as we want and would be great. Before this discussion was started, I already proposed such a script, for those who missed it: http://www.xfire.be/?x=column&mode=item...

Please, if you talk about +dropweapon, please consider that traditionally there are basically two different functionalities attached to it, one is evil, one is not. :) First it's the function of dropping your weapon in the first place. This is not evil, because it might potentially increase the team...

Uhm, waverespawn is a feature and it's a very defining feature for ET gameplay. Using a fixed respawn delay is no new idea at all, most games do it this way, but I think that waverespawn is superior for team games. For example Urban Terror first only had fixed respawn delays, later it got waverespaw...

People use external spawntimers, if you make manual spawntiming too hard... People will use external macro tools if you disable macro scripting. A rule like this makes as much sense as a rule that forbids placing a clock besides your monitor or to use a gamepad instead of a keyboard. We had this kin...

It would make it impossible to aim with joysticks!
But as Bani said, you could still use something like this: http://www.tethyssolutions.com/product.htm
Mortar aiming just doesn't work as a gaming skill because it requires zero flexibility.

Yes it's real reyalP, it was demonstrated in the CB semi final game and we tested it. I couldn't care less because it's really just a set of macros. Of course it's easier to use the macros than to remember the exact coordinates yourself (or to look them up each time), but if something is _that_ repe...
