Goodbye Forums!

Well all good things must come to an end. For many of you new cats, you may be asking yourselves, who is this guy and why do we care if he's leaving? Well I've been around the forums for a while - I had an old account for the W@W forums and made this one when Black Ops came out and so I've been around the block a few times. However, I quit playing on my PS3 a while back and kind of quit coming back to the forums. I am leaving the US to join up with the ROK Army in a few days and hopefully get a deployment to Afghanistan or Lebanon in a few months (Korea requires all male citizens to do a 2 year mandatory military service. As a dual citizen of the US and ROK I have to do 2 years to be able to take a job offer in Korea) . With my leaving the country, I have no reason to come up on these forums anymore for the foreseeable future, so I'm saying my goodbyes to the few people I did get along with.

I just have one thing to say to everyone... play games you enjoy and don't play them if they don't match your playstyle. I have played shooter games since the FPS/3PS fanboy debates of the mid 90's and honestly have never found a game that I had zero faults with. Yet as long as playing them was better than the alternative (being bored), I continued to play. Enjoy the gaming experience. Play single player games as well and online ones. Go old school from time to time and bring a friend over to your house and play together. And any time you get mad at a video game, remember that I'm going to be slumming it for two years and won't even be able to play video games, bad or not.

Catch y'all on the flippity flip.

Not bad man, I like the more unique topic choice. I think you do sound a little bit nervous, but that's to be expect doing things like commentaries which can feel kinda awkward sometimes or if you're new. Everything just improves with practice, no marks against your skills or anything like that, it's just all stuff that comes with practice and experience.

Like everyone else said, just keep being yourself and getting more comfortable. It's great to be spontaneous too, but it never hurts going into a commentary with a bit of a rough outline of things you want to talk about/say. Plus going in with a bit planned out or topics ahead of time etc... it helps with that nervous kinda stuff.

What he said. You should check out this guy named DasSmallz. Like the best commentator ever.

I can't stop playing, cold turkey. I dropped MW3 and picked BO back up. Tried MW3 again last night and it only lasted about 5 minutes before I swapped BO back in. I can't wait for BO2. I'm tired of giving MW3 chances to live up to its potential but falling miserably short nearly every time. It's unlikely I will buy another IW game after this one.

I've been playing fps games for over 15 years now. I'm done with it all - for a few years at least.

Mweh, you should go back to playing the game & posting on ytube even blops if you can't stand mw3. You're a good commentator and your clips are also fun to watch.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

I'm leaving the country in two weeks though and entering the Korean Army in a month. I'll probably be in Afghanistan for at least a year and won't be able to play video games of any sort for at least two years. Will probably post a commentary or two before I leave and wrap up my series though.

I haven't played a single Call of Duty game in about 3 weeks. Best feeling ever.

I get a sense of the clarity that drug addicts get after sobering up after years of using.

Re: Does anyone remember a game called COD4?

Do you remember it? How fun it was to fire up the PS3 and play for hours because of it's smooth, simple and highly-addictive gameplay? Gun on gun, may the best man win, no nonsense combat? Do you all remember it? What happened to that game?

Do you remember it? How the host would not change regardless of how bad his connection was and how the hit detection suffered insanely when the host had a poor upload speed? How frags were constantly chucked all over the place and had a blast radius similar to Dead Man's Hand? How maps were poorly designed and spawn trapping was possible on massive maps? How the game was absolutely mediocre and was only popular becuase it was the first half decent multiplayer game released for consoles? Do you remember? Do you?

I've recently overheard a few people say they feel some things should be changed specifically for S&D:

1. Split-screeners should be banned from the gamemode
2. Special set of Killstreaks that are designed for the low amount of possible kills
3. Removal\reduction of explosives given to players
4. Removal of certain perks (Recon, Blind-Eye, Assassin)
5. Removal of Deathstreaks

Again this is not my personal opinion but part of what I overheard being discussed in a pre-game lobby. This was an interesting conversation that brought up good points on both ends of the argument. What are you thoughts.

Yes. Players should be forced to start off with pistols and have to purchase weapons with cash earned from winning rounds/getting kills.

Oh wait... that's CounterStrike.

Try aiming. I'm sick of people whining about snipers not always being OHK, when they don't ever aim for the upper body/head.

Not to sound like a cryer, but jesus! This game use to be just inconsistent. I'd have smooth gameplay on one very rare match and then others they would have like .5 seconds on me and k/d goes right down the poopshoot. But now its just gone down the crapper. I've got decent download and upload (30/10). Please enough of the "hotfixes" Just get the connection under control!

Lag has always been atrocious. People were just too enamored with the game to realize it.

Case and point... I made a commentary on the atricious amount of lag I was getting hit with as well as my hatred of the support class. I posted it on here and I was hit with massive amounts of hate and messages telling me to upgrade my Internet (I have 50 up/50 down by the way).

The truth is that around 95-99% of people don't realize when they're getting hit by lag or if they're just facing better player. They also can't tell how balanced weapons are by playing a couple games. Most of the people who whine and complain and brag about how 1337 they are haven't played shooters for more than 4 years or so and aren't experienced enough to be able to tell. Maybe you're just facing better player than you usually do.

Not that this topic hasn't been covered 1000+ times already, but it's basically lag compensation that causes this problem.

My goodness... people still believe this nonsense? I'm sure you still think that turning off theater mode will improve connection as will locking down your router so that you have a strict NAT.

Host issues arise from the processor being pushed too hard due to crappy coding on IW's part. The reason that dedicated servers were originally used in the 90's was not for a blazing fast Internet connection. They were used because computers could not successfully run a game and host a game simultaneously due to the weaker power of their processors. I can guarentee you that the same issues arise when PS3s are linked together in a LAN.

I agree, I don't think I've ever seen a franchise game release titles as quickly as Activision does with CoD

Activision is the king of killing off franchises. Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, etc.

You are poorly imitating CoD4, and MW2...You put on a pretty dress that they wear, but your character is of a Medal of Honor game trying to get its place back in the FPS world.

Well considering that CoD4 was a fluke success, is anyone really surprised that any of the CoD games suck?

Medal of Honor was king during the single player fps era, but they too adulterated the franchise and had to take a few years off from releasing another title. I think CoD should do the same and not release a title for a few years.

Well, guess Im one of them that has an problem with getting titles for 500 kills. I have the CM901's 500 kill title but not for the ACR. At first, I thought it might take sometime before I see it but it has been over 2 weeks since I got 1,000 kills and way over an month since I got 500 kills with the gun. Now Im starting to think that Activision is only helping those players that paid for Elite.

It was a glitch when the game first came out. You could get the prestige challenges done for weapons without prestiging.

I'm going for the 1000 headshots title for the Desert Eagle. Haven't ever seen it and don't think anyone in the world hates themselves enough to run with it.
