<div class="IPBDescription">that FPS DMers (UT, HL) are total jerks?</div> For example, I was checking out a little plain Half-Life DM a while ago and I asked if the gauss rifle's 2ndary fire could go thru wall since thats what happened to me. Some high-scoring l337 talk0r d00d was like "Learn how Half-Life works, u little nublet!" Last time I ever entered a HL DM server from that point on :\

Kinda reminds me of the crap I heard when I asked for Xan-fighting tips in UT1 forums.

    never played DM because fragfests don't interest me. But I doubt they're the "hiya there. Come here that I teach you the game. Good boy, take a cookie and cya tommorow" type

    I play HL DM every once and a while when I'm bored with NS. It ain't so bad, just one or two kids spamming the mic advertising the score as if our TAB key doesn't work. Nothing that you don't get in NS. BTW that TAU is a n00b cannon.

    HL has been out for a fair few years. Basically he's saying that cause you've had about 4 years to play HL, nes pa?

    I play UT quite well, that would make me a 'DMer'. But does that automatically mean I'm a jerk? No, it doesn't. Stereotypes are nobodys friend, they only serve to add fuel to the resultant fire.

    Gauss is VERY related to being a jerk...

    And it's Tau Cannon.

    If I wanna play Deathmatch I stick UT2K3 on
    because HLDM is just plain poor.
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    If you want deathmatch for Half-Life, i suggest <a href='http://www.thespecialistsmod.net' target='_blank'>http://www.thespecialistsmod.net</a>
    Flips, Dives, Rolls and akimbos aswell as skill needed and lack of potty mouths.

    Oh and you get rifles and shotguns to, not jsut akimbos.

    Properly customized, OZ DM is the most fun I've had in any game, period.

    Am I a total jerk for liking and playing HLDM? I don't think that I am, but then most total jerks wouldn't think that they are. ;)

    well I didnt say ALL are, exactly and that is good. As for HL DM, its actually kinda fun to me but basic to say the least. Its basically something I turn to when I need a good fragfest but am tired of UT2k3. And UT1 isnt an option for me since 90% of servers now run instagib or sniper arena which doesnt really appeal to me at all, not cuz I crap out at it but its jus no fun running around and holding the mouse button until u get a lucky shot :\

    I do believe most jerks act like one cuz it makes them feel like they did exactly what they should have done even though they are only being immature and disliked. For example:

    Fade (gets killed when cloaked by 2 marines): Howd u see me?

    Non-jerk: Its possible to barely see them if ur close enough

    Jerk: LEARN HOW TO PLAY NS, u little nublet! (or) cuz u have n00bish eyesight (lol, n00bish eyesight, thats a new one)

    I've seen jerks in almost EVERY game i've ever played.

    From Phantasy Star Online to Unreal Tourney to Warcraft3.

    I must say though, War3 players tend to be some of the most impatient, inconsiderate, worst people ever.

    i agree with you there, although i dont like some of the skin designs they used, the skins look nice, but the bio enhanced people... ick... dont see why ANYONE would want to be them, (ok, so i use them when i feel stupid, so when i kill some1, i pelvic thrust, making it look like i rape their corpse, and its funny to see that fat @$$#$ dance, thats the only reason why i would use them). Malcolm's skin is by far the best skin in the game, no questions ask, the answer would be Malcolm anyway.

    i dont see why blizzard games tend to be so popular, they are good, yes, great, not really, something i would die for, hell no. Blizzard games are nothing to impressive, and players in those games are often jerks, (diablo 2 jerks, ick). They go around "I want an SOJ" or "Lets duel, altho im level 99 and you are level 1, and i have lightsabers and you have a stick, and im a cheater and you are a complete nooB "obsceniy" while i am by far the coolest of cooly coolness between cool people because i am cool, and you wont be cool, so lets duel!!!"

    they are icky. DOWN WITH BLIZZARD!!!

    Warcraft 3? really?? I wouldn't know cuz usually the matchmaking system matches u with people around your skill level.

    D2? Oh yes! Ive been called a faggot 10-20 times in row by some jerk that thought I was dumber than a rock for leaving a server in the middle of the last Lut Gholein mission and wondering y the tomb on my map wasnt the correct one in a different server, an honest mistake that forced me to ask someone for a map hack so I wouldnt be stuck permenantly in act 2. How inconsiderate is that??
