No flame, just one question :) Do you think that sky walking is a clean and legal trick?
No 'flame' taken. :) No, it's not a 'skill' trick. My roots are in Quake to take that into account when I talk here. I equate strafe (bunny) jumping to things like rocket/bfg jumping or climbing the walls with a plasma gun (Q2/Q3 ref.). Not everyone can do that stuff. But it's a skill learned by those masterful enough to do it. Another one that my own admins had a problem with that I didn't (back to CS here) was the fast deagle/awp switch. I'm not sure if that can be done anymore though. It seams as if people always come back at these arguments with genuine 'true-unfair-advantage-bugs(TM)' in the game. Running around looking like you don't have a gun when you do is not the same thing. The same goes for sky walking. Model exploits that don't represent the players true condition in the game or any weapon exploit caused by a meaningless set of keystrokes or characters dumped into the console because of what some h4x site found by stroking HL binaries with a hex editor are not what I'm talking about. And those bugs should be fixed by Valve. Obviously now and then new bugs are found, or flaws in the game that people catch on to, and some of these allow players to work far outside of what the developer intended or what is reasonable for the game type. I don't think all of these things ruin the experience though. It just makes people be better players and have to learn the new tricks to keep up. That's just how I see things. To each their own. -- - m0gely http://quake2.telestream.com/ Q2 | Q3A | Counter-strike _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
