"1.0 or 1.2?" No Idea.

Do you have Tatooine Jabbas Palace?

Well it depends on your definition of skill. Is it the quantity of kills? Is it the quality of kills (headshots, air kills, etc.)? Is it being able to beat players 1 v 1? Is it being able to kill multiple enemies at once? Is it being able to survive (have less deaths)? Is it the ability to take cps? Is it the ability to hold cps?

Maybe it's all of them, maybe it's some of them, and maybe it's none of them. Honestly, I don't know. It's a matter of opinion I suppose. Maybe a crosshair can make me a better player so that I can do all of those things better, but maybe it can't. Should I not try and never know? I asked myself all these question before. Honestly I still haven't come up with definitive answers.

someone should start a new thread on this

Well, i was gonna try to stay out of this, cause i dont want ppl to take what i say personally and make enemies (and probs earn me a perm ban from FC for respectfully putting forth my opinion), but.......

Phobos, you are presenting beautifully formed arguments, and I really respect them. On the other hand, while reading over this, I am afraid that I might be biased, because I just look for holes in the radar argument. Ill try not to go through and pick it all apart, but just touch on some important or very interesting ones.


Yes, there are or is no standard rules of the game, but there usually seems to be a general consensus and respect, like for awhile no self respecting player would cp mine or use anything but sniper in 1.0.

how can you on one play style, and then ask us to accept yours?

As i have said before, I think radar is 'over powered', since you don't see a radar like this in any other game, there is no delay, no way to counter act or balance, no strobing radar bar that gives you the location every couple of seconds, but a constant triangle even showing the direction one is looking. While it is okay to use with others, I think it is over powered to be used in public in its current form. I would be open to the idea of a scaled down version, with a possible way to balance or counter act maybe, as a compromise.

Arguing over the definition of radar is a good philosophical argument. Thats what really brought me out to post, and where i should have stayed. But I think mods like maps and name mods are cool and useful, but a mod that gives only a few a huge advantage over others, i think is what makes it a "hack" or "cheat". They are inexcusable in other games(you get kicked, banned, etc.), despite the fact that they are available to all.

Probs the main reason i still play swbf, is for the cool mods, and for the friends i have met ingame. I hope that we do not loose any friends or mods over this argument. Yes they released the ability to mod, and im glad they did that, but still would be opposed to this version of radar, but love how other things have modified the game.

We justify its use in servers where the host does not care or has not stated any rules about it being allowed or not. We will not use it in any server where the rules of the server host say it isn't allowed. And the only rules I see being official are ones set by the server host, opinions of players in the server cannot be made into rules.

this is why i still respect him and FC, cause they are trying to be respectful about this.

i had to chuckle at a couple of friends comments

deagle, is your claim that "people are leaving the game because of radar" coming from anywhere besides your rear end?

lollololololololololololoolololl

I really enjoy the modded servers, and that is because everyone gets the same advantage. Could you not figure out a way to put the MM on a FC server, so that everyone on that particular server got that advantage. I would then praise the MM for changing up the game and making it more interesting, and would ask for more servers like it. I could go to dif servers depending on the game type I felt like playing, but always have the familiar swbf to fall back on. With all the great mods youve developed, I think you guys could find a way.


Now ill stfu and go back to just reading this forum and keeping my opinions to myself, sry for being so wordy when i finally decided to talk.

gotta take the home team,
TIGERS

way to go cabrera

The way I see it is this. Most if not all of us on this site were disappointed with SWBFII which is why we still play SWBFI! So SWBFIII would just be a better version of SWBFII.  Personally the recent Star Wars games haven't been that appealing.

yes

My two cents, none of us are actually qualified to discuss on the matter. Unless one of you just happens to have a degree in psychology?

Actually, im working on my  forth year in earning that degree. From what i remember, there might have been a correlation, but no proven causation. Ill look over my notes and give you some good stuff to tell your parents, lol.

I had the same problem, all the sudden scarecrows stopped working, and then they all did. I just use BattleBelk's now cause it started working after a computer restart and not launching scarecrows.

trailer looks really cool.

Thats what I was inferring too BlackScorpion. But in those games you can either do something to become invisible to them, or they show only in the brief radar swipe. Im not arguing for or against radar, just bringing up the question if this radar is to over powered.

On a side note, don't most games have a radar?
except for the fact that in different games it doesn't perfectly show their location, whether it is delayed or only in a certain area or only when moving or their dot only flashes periodically when the radar sweep goes across that part of the mini map.

That picture was probs taken from single player. Idk if anyone knows this, but you can see the enemy units on their.

I would take part in another tournament but the problem with that type of tournament is that its always the same players in the later stages. I had an idea for a tournament a while ago where 20 (or any amount) of players are ranked in a list and you can challenge anyone within 3 places to a duel. That way it can keep going as people get better.

i like the idea. Maybe limit the number of times someone can be challenge in a week, or how many times some one can be challenged or something like that. Also a time limit on when have to respond to challenge by.

and maybe have the rankings look like this? http://espn.go.com/tennis/rankings
have clan, if they are moving up or down, record, highest rank, etc.
