Just an idea


(Zan) #1

It may sound strange, stupid or ridiculous and it can be something other people already did in other FPS games without my knowledge.

I would like to have my games reviewed by better (other) players and review other’s games. To give and receive advice.
I don’t know if there will be much people interested, but even if we are only a few, it could be interesting.

The idea is to send/receive a demo to receive comments on points in a game where a different path would have been better (in the reviewer’s opinion).
Something like -> “time 12:45: I would have chose left instead of right because you could see an engineer going in that direction a little ago, and no death msg appeared yet”
or -> “time 22:12: I think it’s better to try the backdoor now with the other engineer and the medic. You could surely take the command post now”.
or even -> “time 4:12: do not prime grenades there, the next wall will always make the throw too hard”.

Tell me if you’d like to build such a community or if you know of anyone doing this in any FPS game, to learn from their experience on how to organize it.

I think the best bet is to join/start a clan and you can help each other out as this is a mammoth task if it is to be done in the way I think you’re thinking of. If you do the clan thing then the lot of you can sit “virtually” around the screen and pick out problems etc.

My problem with joining a clan is that I don’t have the slightest idea of how to chose one in ET. In other games it was easy, I found the same people always and finally I asked if they would like me to join their clan, but in ET pub servers I rarely find the same people twice in the same server.
It’s also hard to find a clan who plays in a server where I’ve got good ping.

So this one thing I thought could be done outside-clan, seemed interesting.

You might be the man to start a new clan then Zan, it doesn’t take much, just ask around, get peoples’ emails addresses/ send pms etc. Theres a few good people hang out 'round here that I’m sure aren’t already connected.

Even if the clans goal is to better individual skills its a good thing, even just hang out together, but there is no problem in the idea of maybe sometime entering competition as even competition doesn’t HAVE to be taken TOO seriously.

Aye, exactly what Smyler said…

However if you’re having trouble finding the same people more than once, the best idea would be to find a few servers that have the best ping for you and constantly hang out there. Soon just become a server regular and you’ll start to recognize others who play there. And chances are, if they keep going back to the server, then they most likely have good ping there as well and one can bet their own server would too. Just a thought.

(amazinglarry) #9

No… no, you were right the first time… no need to backpedal… I’m going to go kill myself now… :frowning:

It’s all SMYLER’s fault!!!

:smiley: I was just tryin to play along too man. w00h4! Plus, better to say I suck than boast about how I’m constantly kicked from servers for being too good, correct? Heheheh.


([=O=]SMYLER) #10

Being a gaming god like our friend Borsuk must be a bitch. :bash: .


(amazinglarry) #11

Oh man you have no idea. :drink:


([=O=]SMYLER) #12

I have LOTS of ideas, unfortunately the vast majority are incredibly impracticle, hence utter shite.

With regard ET I should be INCREDIBLY good after growing up in a war torn police state just North of Sourthern Ireland, but am in fact mediocre.

:???:

([=O=]SMYLER) #14

It makes complete sense a lot of my ideas are crap and I was born and lived in N.Ireland for my first 20 years untils I decided to go to university in england aka Smylers invasion whereby I decided a head on fight with the anglo-saxon hordes was completely out of the question, so I captured (well bought) a small castle (house) stole one of their women (asked a girl to marry me, she said yes) and decided to outbreed them instead.

One day the whole world will be Celtic and drink guiness. This was not one of my crap ideas. :smiley: .


(amazinglarry) #15

That’s one idea of yours I can agree on… I’m MOSTLY Irish… (damn Scottish Ancestors!.. :smiley: ) but I can only agree on your plan entirely, if it involves some Killians…

Ok, I’m in a clan, TeamSpeak’s fun, mi nick looks 1337 etc…

If I don’t like being in a clan I’ll make [=O=]SMYLER directly responsible of my unhappiness. and you’ll feel the weight of guilt over your shoulders. :slight_smile:
