That is illogical.
You seem to blindly adhere to this notion that no one can be definitively right, and therefore your ignorance must be just as good as our knowledge.
The problem is your posts are so wildly incorrect that to respond to them would be like responding to people who compare Obama to Adolf Hitler. There is just too much to correct that it really seems to be a troll.
The people in this thread who agree with me, such as Jucci, have played for more than 500 hours. I have played for 497. We know what is happening and our knowledge is not just based on one or two games. We are either heavy pubbers or serious competitive players.
I submit to you a quote from a very knowledgeable person:
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'†― Isaac Asimov
Your posts are almost always incorrect to the point where if you are not actually trolling, many people are confusing you with one. This would be alright except you have taken it upon yourself to aggressively go after everyone who disagrees with you, just like a troll would. Hence my aggresive, pre-emptive response to you posting in this serious thread. If you want to be taken seriously, then be seroius.
I believe this is the last I need to respond to you, and I hope this is considered "civil" because I really meant this post to be calm and civil while maintaining a stern tone to convey just what exactly you seem to be doing.
Good game.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Quote where I call him illogical. I stated a fact, then stated an opinion. The fact cannot be argued, if you wish to argue the opinion, you are welcome too.
Anyway, you confuse disciplines. I would be all too willing to agree that an agnostic approach to something like engineering or astrophysics or some other such discipline grounded in the idea of an "objective truth" would only hinder advancement. However, you do not debate such a discipline, you debate the mechanics of a computer game. I do not belittle the subject, far from it, it is a very important thing to me. However you and I must acknowledge that there is no objective truth to be had here. Not because we could not possibly know it, but because it simply does not exist.
The difference between you and I is that you respond aggressively towards anybody with an opinion different to your own, while I respond aggressively to anyone placing their opinion above my own. Both are hypocritical, both are counter productive. The cool part is, if we get rid of one, both will disappear.

Okay, I've been watching this sliding downhill while on fire for a bit now while Kouji was trying to get it civilised again. It does not appear that will happen though, and as it's already been noted that it's being looked at for revision, I believe we're done here. Game is in beta, this may change next patch. Until then at least, <b><!--coloro:red--><span style="color:red"><!--/coloro-->*LOCKED.*</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

5 Ran at me, I stomped them and promptly killed them all, and then the same sort of thing happened again.
Once I had a Gorge behind me it was game over, and by that time another Onos had evolved and gone in through the back.
I like stomp, it is fine.. but the marines ability to get up and fire takes too long.
