Jaws - The monologue Quint gives on being on the Indianapolis

BTW: My demo has a pretty crap kill of tangent in it. I can totally understand tangent losing it. This dude got a headshot on a darkness hidden tangent before a name could pop up to aid him. It was uber-strange.

I stand corrected. My apologies if that is so. All I saw was console spamming f10. I pressed tab to get a player list to see if someone had a bum name. I guess I missed it or hit tab after the namechange. oops

I'm not prepared to call that guy clean yet. Clue was apparently on the phone for a lot of his shadiness, starting his demo only after accusations of cheating had reached the party in question. In my book, all bets are off once a guy knows people think he cheats. They play smarter once the demos are sure to be rolling. I recorded one short demo with four headshots in a row. Not damning, but certainly interesting considering I started recorded immediately after he got several other headshots in a row. I'm not up on my cheats for HL2, but the HL1 cheats got extremely sophisticated. Some were your average esp/aimbot/wallhack variety. The really good ones allowed you to dial in missed shots, % of headshot, or even kept your xhairs at head level and left the rest up to you. Something was odd about that guy's play. Compounding to the issue was a long series of concerns to an admin that finally responded minutes later that he was now off the phone. It's not your fault, but you can understand the frustration level when something seems fishy and the guy who is supposed to help isn't actually there to listen to you. I hear your point, but there are other sides to the situation that should be considered.

we played it late last night.

Should be a sticker with a service tag on it located on the side or back of the computer. post that and shep can plug it into the Dell upgrades section. The site should then give him a great idea of what you have under the hood.

That's why I shop newegg exclusively. Aside from usually being cheaper, they are absolutely bulletproof when it comes to returns. They rock so hard.

Not sure the demo thing is the sign of an aging computer though. Things get choppy for me when I record demos too. RAM's pretty easy to upgrade if you know what you need. It really is plug in and turn on stuff. Nothing fancy there.

He was not very good at cheating, but he's the dangerous breed. Other guys that cheat on the server do it to rage and annoy people. This one is trying to learn how to get away with it. He's the kind that wants to get good enough at cheating to be successful in high end league play. When he learns to move better and not let his mouse looks give away that he sees people through walls, he'll be tricky to catch... Ragers are annoying, but cheaters make my skin crawl. Thanks for the ban Shodan.

Here's a suggestion. Go Here and download the freeware version of pingplotter. Install it, run it, and have it plot it's way to the scopeless IP. It won't fix anything for you, but it will show you exactly where in road to Scopeless you're getting bogged down. If it's somewhere within your ISP's network, you stand a decent chance of them fixing it. Should it be occuring somewhere else, you may be out of luck. Look for the first hop with the big ping spike. That's your culprit. Hope this helps.

you make a demo too? this dork is so dirty.

If you get the chance, could you get their steam IDs? I know a Tomba who had some issues with clean play in a different game. It'd be interesting to see if it's the same guy.

After seeing some goofballs get banned for their hacking, I became curious about how banned they get. Do hackers get banned from all GC servers, or just the one they were caught on? The old HL mod community I used to play with had a great group of servers that would exchange ban information. Get banned from one, get banned from them all. Boy did that cut down on the funny play real quick. I'm not sure the CSS community is centralized enough for that sort of thing, but I was just wondering if you exchanged info within your own set of servers.

I was trying to be diplomatic and leave all names out, but since it's been brought up... My actual phrasing was if it was going to be "another" clan stacking afternoon. The previous day, six CsLs guys jumped on one team and went on a slaughterfest for a couple of maps. When I asked about it that time, I was told that it was practice and important to team play. While I found that answer to be rubbish, I didn't push the situation. The following day, when you were in the mix, a map ended with CsLs guys talking about "scrim time." The next map started up and all of the CsLs guys on the server had all jumped to a single team. My conclusion was that I had just entered another "practice" session. If you randomly selected, I certainly have no problem with that. Considering the events of the previous day, I thought it best to raise the issue in a debate forum and see how things worked out.

skeelow STEAM_0:1:2495888 aimbotting twinkie. ice berge and the others agree

To clarify, is it legal on the servers to tk an afker if that afker is the bomb carrier? I don't mean right at the start, but with time winding down and a few players left...

Anyone else getting the little shield that says "VAC" and the note that hails servers as VAC supported now? I get that now in the map loading window and have been excited, but can't seem to find others who notice the same thing...

Anytime. Definitely let us know what you dig up. I want to understand what I read better.

I don't understand any of this, but I'm sure I read something about this situation. At least with AMD, you want two sticks, not four, in order to get the best performance. For whatever reason, the bus speeds or something go down when there are four slots used. You really want 2 sticks of 1gig... I know I didn't explain that well, but maybe it will help you google the good answer.

I am curious as to everyone's opinion of clans stacking one team to "practice" for league play. I have yet to see any benefit, but would like to hear both sides of the argument. To begin, I'd question the usefullness of 6 clanners and 7 pub players against 13 pub players in honing skill for match play. The numbers are far larger than match play so the tactics are entirely different. Playing against 13 players lacking history and cohesiveness rarely leads to more than a clan picking off deathmatchers. Wouldn't the clan be much better served hunting up another clan to scrim with on irc than teamstacking a public server? Which leads into the next question. Why does the clan think it's okay to inflict their "practice" on non-clan regulars of the server? Remove the tags and it's a bunch of teamstackers destroying all competition from half the players on the server. Most people around here think that is wrong. Toss on some tags though, and it's suddenly an impromptu practice, against unwitting opponents, lacking a team dynamic. I don't care how nice the guys are (and all the ones I play with seem very nice), it's still the same thing to me as the teamstacking they also dislike under normal circumstances. My belief is that the "practices" are no better than nice guys teamstacking. I think team sizes and makeup do nothing to improve league playability. I also think it hurts the server. I believe clan should schedule scrims with other clans. Should that prove impossible, the clan should at least schedule time to lock the server, and invite a certain number of players on the server at the time to stay and be a part of the practice. The clan will have a league environment and the opponents have all consented and hopefully look forward to the challenge. Just my two cents. Sure would like to learn more about the other point(s) of view though.

I'd sure like to read where it says 800dpi laser is superior to 1600dpi LED. I'd even like to read where it says the diamondback has trouble with woodgrain... Although, ultimately, the graining is unimportant. You want a Steelpad or C4-NGen teflon mousepad for that bad mamma jamma anyway.

I think he disagrees with my stance on sli.

Wrong mouse. When I said it wasn't laser, I didn't mean a ball mouse. It's optical, but not laser. The diamondback is an optical mouse. It doesn't have an unusual sensor placement either. The learning curve for me was easy. However, there are a few issues. It requires some heavy duty drivers to run it that can be a pain in the butt to install. I had to uninstall the drivers for my joystick before installing the razer drivers. I then reinstalled the joystick without issue. Also, Two of the Razer buttons will almost surely be useless for anyone who uses it. It has been designed to be ambidextrous, so there are two buttons on either side of the mouse. The placement makes it unlikely you will ever use the far side buttons with your pinky. Hope that helps a bit.
