Is it any Steam version of the specialists or what? i have downloaded TS 2.0 version and install it on the steam folder but after that. i dont see any servers and not even get it start thro steam... any hints? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    problem #1) There is a 2.01 patch, and I'm not sure whether or not it's included in the 2.0 installer. If you don't have it, you won't get any servers.

    problem #2) The Specialists server ops have not really had much motivation to move to steam yet. The ones that have are pretty much all overcrowed or slow, so there's a good chance you're filtering them all out. 2.1 (not 2.01) will be an official steam version, however.

    Er.. actually, the 2.01 patch was serverside only.. and half the servers don't even run it <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    The only thing it really did was do a quick fix for the no recoil exploit (quick fix being it kicks anyone using it automaticly. In the next clientside version it will be out completely)
    Most "cheaters" in TS are just using the no-recoil exploit.. Most aimbots don't even work for TS because they don't recognize certain things such as the stunts or even just lying on the ground.

    Oh dear no. What a bunch of elitists on that server. If there's one major downfall to The Specialists, it's players like Feixano and Nashwan. They have some of the biggest egos I have seen in any game, and ironically, it's a game that's one iota above vaporware. No... for players who want to have fun, avoid Nashville. Avoid it like The Plague. Filled with fat heads and overly restrictive rules, which only serve to ruin the fun of casual players and stroke the egos of those who play too much.

    True, most.

    But I've still seen more actual definite aimbot usage than I have ever seen on any of my CS servers.

    What overly restricting rules?

    Last time I checked, it was the only clean server that doesn't have lobby 24/7 and doesn't have campers. If by elitist, you mean people who know how to play the game for real, stunting and diving, then yeah.....

    It's pretty damn hard to be elitist in a game, unless you act like an ****.

    Truth mojo says. Nashwan and Feixeno(XENO, not XANO. Its from Xenogears, even ask him) are some of the community's best. Their damned good, and they don't have that bad of egos, you just gotta learn how to actually compare to them(in which, they will stop with the egos and actually start playing FOR REAL. Thats when you get a good game. simultaneous 3 time wall jump WHILE shooting at you to jump off the wall just enough to land on a roof, dive back off the roof, continuing to shoot eachother, and continuing 100 more stunts that are DAMNED impressive, until finally someone dies).

    Nashwan and Feixeno are great guys. And Nashcorp is one of the best servers ever. It's the only TS server I really play on now.

    Funny, nothing like that ever occurs on my pistols & shotties server, simply because whenever you have 'good' players fights actually seem to last LESS time, as it's just a case of who Headshots who first.

    They're good at the game, but terrible to talk to. They have such fat heads over their skill in a silly game, it's pathetic. By all means, play on the Nashwan server... leaves more space for me on the better ones out there.

    I never said they were bad at the game. I said I didn't like their egos, because they ruin the game with their constant boasting of their "skill". People lap it up, only encouraging them to boast even more, making a terrible circle of unending cockiness. It ruins the game. Feixeno babbles about his great kills or his style of play all the way through the game. Am I supposed to care? Really, it's the same old backwash every game he's in, and it's tiring. He's not any better than anyone else, but he thinks he is, or that he has some ties with the developers that makes him <b>ultra special!!!111</b> Thing is, he got passed up on the beta testing (last I knew), probably because he can't keep his trap shut!

    Nashville: (some examples of what's wrong with it)

    1. Low ammo counts are too restrictive. Nashwan claims that is because it promotes a faster moving gameplay, because it forces users to change weapons. Thing is, it cuts off the style of gameplay I prefer - one weapon. I don't want to have to switch. But no compromise is acceptable.

    2. No super jump. I don't use super jump, but it's not right to take it out because they don't like it. If they're such great gamers, they can handle shooting players in the air. I used to use it often, but found I didn't like the vulnerability when landing.

    3. The hatred of auto users. They claim to accommodate any style of play, but always have a snide comment or two ready for anyone who uses the weapons they don't appreciate. Their arrogant attitude shines through when they try to "lovingly" guide the user to "better" weapons (i.e., the ones they approve).

    The atmosphere itself is extremely hostile for anyone who doesn't fit into the niche of their gameplay style. What a waste of bandwidth.

    That'd be a .50 gutshot.

    Left you on 5hp, losing 2 a second, and it took 3 seconds to bandage. Experienced players tended to kamikaze rush you at that point <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well, I *could* suggest making the TS server an NS community server for a while if there'd be interest....

    Get all the NS people together on there for a few games?

    Every other server just put these things at wrong values :

    1) It's not low ammo, it's not the ridicuously high ammo you see in other server, this is perfect.

    2) Hahahahahah. Exactly, every other server has superjump set to on, off by default. Superjump off by default allows you to gain superjump by picking up an upgade, like its supposed to. Having it off helps do stunts and not fly ten feet up.

    3) Who, exactly?
  • TestamentTestament Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4037Members
    Superjump always on is actually a bug. Morfeo forgot to take it out after testing. And if you only wanna use one gunn, do what I do...drop yours, dive at the nearest, hit use, and cap the guy a few times.

    Noo... I don't <b>want</b> to switch my gun. That's the problem. I'd rather have the ability to keep the gun I have.

    As for the bug thing... I've heard that, but it seems kinda off to me. Why would he put a "superjump" variable in the game if he didn't want it to be toggled?

    Anywho, I don't play The Specialists often, and I have often turned off text and voice so I don't have to hear the whining and bickering.

    Note I said 'my' servers. I run the damn thing.

    So I do spend a lot of time doing the 'spectate' thing, and when people dive off one of the buildings and pull 4 headshots on 4 different targets with 4 rounds, all before they hit the ground, I call that cheating.

    Incidentally, my server already is Pistols & Shotguns only, now if I could change the number of frags for different kills (so I could remove the silly 5 frag diving knifer) I'd be happy.

    212.23.5.122:27035 (off the top of my head, might be 27025) if anyone fancies a go.

    Bring on 2.1, then I'll be interested.
