I'm sure they'll balance TTK and get it to the point where it's fair.

You need to be able to turn around and kill someone with your (hopefully) superior aiming skills if they start shooting you first because you didn't see them for what ever reason, thats critically important especially in an open world game where people can be anywhere.

So we probably need 360 degree vision.

I've played with, and against, some of the best FPS players PC gamers have ever seen. And at the end of the day 50 gamers who play competitively, and travel as a hobby, will beat the crap out of 50 gamers who view themselves as organized every single time. This isn't real life. The weapons and technology are equal. Just because someone might know the history of their faction doesn't mean shit. It comes down to who is the better shot and who reacts quicker. The graphic of this game and the FPS style of this game will bring in the hard core gamers and I can't wait. That is why I'm here. If you're looking for PS1 I suggest you re up your sub.

Match of The Week Highlights: Team Illicit vs. Team HOE(Toxin)

"This is the showdown a lot of us have been waiting for; the two Atlantic Division powers get ready to throw it down on Mashtuur City this week. HOE(Toxin) will be led by Chonan, Naz, Phoenix, Fatback, and Schoefield on the ground, a very solid crew"

"HOE(Toxin) has a huge advantage over Illicit here. First, HOE(Toxin) is extremely humble and rarely posts anything on the CAL forums regarding their status. Secondly, HOE(Toxin) should easily field an advantage in infantry and team work"

"Mashtuur awards teams who excell at infantry, squad hopping and general team work... and HOE(Toxin) has mastered it. As of late HOE(Toxin) has been said to be a trojan horse if you will - a sleeper champion of Open"

"Make no mistake about it, if HOE(Toxin) gets a presence in Illicit's main then they will do something most teams are not able to, and that is keep that presence there throughout the match"

"The infantry game will be pretty even, but HOE(Toxin) is just relentless at capping flags and seem to always keep a strong existence somewhere on any map"

"HOE(Toxin) has clearly played more noteworthy, experienced teams in the likes of nycff and The Mammies (who are off to a rough start here in CAL)"

"Other interesting results include HOE's obliteration of The Mammies"

So we can only hope that TWL, CAL, and CPL players come over here in droves. And I know that Toxin is headed this way.

Lol.

Thank you though.

So you want to grab your top 50 and we will grab ours? I bet we will be able to carve out an area to meet.

Seems a tad strange to hire a Senior Game Designer this late into the development process. Maybe he will be taking over for someone else after the game ships.

Anyway if he comes from a Counterstrike background then I guess that is a point in the favor of us that don't wont to have to use Ironsights constantly. I'll actually be quite happy if he does make the games shooting more skill based since what I saw at E3 was not especially balanced or competitive looking.

The most important question for Jimmy. NC, VS, or TR?

State your allegiance.

Ahh I missed that line, saw it now. Excellent. He likes a challenge and didn't take the easy way out picking VS or NC.

Yeah, must be hard intentionally joining an inferior faction.

You should have seen his old "humble" signature. It went like, "Jepaul doesn't hack, he's just better than you!"

Hah. It is pretty funny, maybe they can milk the pinnacle of their of their lives from 8 years ago a bit more... Whatever makes you feel important, I guess.

We are PSU. Your minds and gaming skills will be added to our own. Resistance is futile!


Hmm i hope he doesn't influence the game in a bad manner.

Edit: after seen some posts and two of his videos, i think he will do good in here!

[Shogun]

jimmies posts show that he has the same opinion on "watering down" of fps games as the majority of us has.
having someone with this opinion in the dev team is great! i don´t understand the panic some people have just because he played some games they don´t like?!?!

matt already told us, what jimmy is here for, and even more important, what he is NOT here for, so calm down

it´s really time for beta. we are all going nuts and need to shoot at something SOON!

i hope the devs have warned jimmy of the extreme passion in this community, and that he might have to take some serious shitstorm before he is accepted and praised like the other devs, who already have their rightful places in the olymp of game-making. but the things he posted so far give me hope for the game!

he even played ps1 and fell in love with the experience at once. just like us. and he is known for fighting against the infamous dumbing down of fps games, we all hate so much.
he might be employed to get the feel of the weapons right, but i am sure he will be taking part in a lot of team discussions about other gamemechanics as well, influencing the team the right way!

so i think it´s a good thing we have him in the team!
now hire hamma as well and we are set
