The shove


(Sick Boy) #1

We’re in need of some more ranting threads, so here I go :smiley:

Anybody else getting annoyed by the shove?

It was introduced as an answer to doorblockers, but I prefer a doorblocker anyday to getting pushed around all the time.

You spawn, you get shoved. Causing you to end up against a wall instead of through the door like the spawn on goldrush. You then get shoved some more because you are blocking the door.

You are sneaking, you get shoved. The sound alarms all enemies nearby.

You are on a roof or another high place. You’ll definately get shoved. You fall to death or injured and have to walk for half a minute to get back to where you were (ie fueldump roof). Same when you’re camping in a window like on caen. You’ll end up in the river in no time.

You are firing a panzer from behind a corner. A teammate will push you back behind that corner as soon as he hears your panzer load. You both get vaporized (plus another innocent bystander) and you get a complaint (or two).

There’s an enemy group nearby. You’re leaning behind a corner planning your attack or priming a nade. You’ll get shoved into the open in plain sight.

You are near a minefield, barbwire or any other lethal place. That’s right, you get shoved.

You just want to control your own movement. You can’t anymore, someone else will do it for you.

You’re playing ET, you have to hear the annoying shove sound all the time. It sounds a bit like a speaker getting too much voltage.


Luckily in the next Etpro teamkills with shove will count as a teamkill, and you can turn the sounds off. But still, I think it’s worse than a doorblocker. Everybody sees who the doorblocker is, you can easily vote him off the server. Half the time you get shoved you don’t even know who did it, especially if you get killed instantly.

:Disclaimer: Maybe there are some slight exaggerations in the above text :moo:

I hate it that there are always wise guys, shoving me when im mortaring. After a shove or two, i have to get up as im way out of aim :angry:

You start running out of spawn - you see a fire and forget and stop to turn back … you get shoved out into it … 30 sec respawn grrrrr

You’re disarming a landmine and some bright spark thinks to push you off of it because you’re in their way! Of course the fact that they ALSO get blown to smithereeens is small consolation.

BTW who gets the kill for landmines? The person that drops the mine or the person that arms it? Have been pushed off of a mine when I’m arming it before now so that the person behind me can finish arming it … go figure …

aaarg - the shove ! hate it hate it hate it - the crime is worthy of a pistol round to the face imho grrrrrr i hate it when i’ve stopped in the path of a grenade, and some moron teammate shoves me onto it !!! oh it winds me up more than accidental teamkills most of the time

sigh - need to lie down now…

Sounds like you’re all playing with noobs and you need to find better servers. I’ve never been pushed anywhere to my death. Mostly just get into push fights with people.

Shove is better on Shrub. And there’s one reason for that: Goomba kills!
Anyways, you guys need to play on servers with not as many n00bs. I hardly ever see any of the stuff you mention.

I like shove, it really helps, for example to shove the damn CovOps who starts sniping at the cave exit just next to the fuel dump, blocking the path for all teammates coming the same way, and just as they all are tightly packed an axis PF opens up.

I love shove to push the damn noobs out of spawn who cant find the sprint key or who see a smoke shell exploding and instead of rushing through the smoke before the shells start falling they freeze, blocking all other teammates.

I love shove to push the XP wh0reing engineer away who wants to disarm your dyna to plant his own.

I love shove to finally get those coward FldOps moving who hide and wait for the only medic of the team to be the first to rush out into a murderous crossfire instead of sacrificing themself, to be revived by the medic once the defence is distracted.

I have kicked people for doing this and will continue to do so.


(Fusen) #9

ya I agree with puu sounds just like your on noob servers don’t really get that much hassle about shove’s I just wished they worked betetr like on goldrush I come out maybe behind 2 people from allies second spwn then when I try and strafe down the hill they get in the fckin way and they arent directaly in front of me so I cant shove and they are all as slow as fck aswell :@


(Ragnar_40k) #10

Your lucky. I usually get bleeded or tked when mortaring, even if I kill the enemy like hell. Sometimes I even got kicked for mortaring.

And I like shoving, esp. at spawn: You spawn and just see the FO smoke pass away, but some of your teammates always need a few seconds until they realize they spawned and some others (or the same?) doesnt seem to know the sprint key. This all leads to a blocking (even if they move slowly forward) and I help them with a push.


(=ABS= SparhawK) #11

I use it @ spawntimes when everybody else just strolls out as if they are going to a picnic, sprint till clear of spawn dammit!!!

I have been caught by arty so many times when a good sprint would have put me safe but have to wait for one person @ the front to sort him/her self out.

There is a sprint key use it, oh and set et to always run. Nothing worse than somebody in front walking out of spawn with a panzer.

just thoughts…

I can see how the mere fact that Shove is abusable means that someone somewhere will abuse it, but personally I haven’t come across any of these problems. I only use it myself, as others have said, to get out of spawn when you’ve got players in front of you who don’t know there’s a sprint key.

But it’s good to have a rant now and then. Not enough ranting going on here anymore. :frowning:


(pgh) #13

Personally, I love it…

… remember a time I shoved a person blocking the Allies Spawn on Goldrush then he TK’d me… I asked wtf then he replied; ‘at least im not using hacks’. Or the Oasis when I stood on a mine and waited for friendly engy to disarm… he came up and proceeded to shoot me in the face so I kindly let him take over the mine only to shove him off and jump back… die biatch.

Obviously it can be abused… just like most other ‘features’ and there will always be someone complaining about one thing or another… and like the rest of them its easily solved. Dont like push, dont play on servers with it on. Do, then play on servers that do.


(Fusen) #14

lol its the shittiest thing to do when your a engie you go to save someone who landed on a enemie mine so you start defusing and they just off… >.<


(=ABS= Le Vic) #15

I use it @ spawntimes when everybody else just strolls out as if they are going to a picnic, sprint till clear of spawn dammit!!!

And here was me thinking you just did it to wind me up … sprinting or not … :stuck_out_tongue:

The person who dropped the mine gets the kill/xp.

I do it to wind you and Croaks up though, that goes without saying!!!

:clap:

Cheers dante, knew it worked like that with dyno and figured would be the same with mines … never hurts to be sure though :slight_smile:
