Just a general vent....
I was always a flight sim guy... I mean, from the days before the Original Falcon 3.0 all the way back to I think a program called "Fly" on the Commodore 64, that's what was always cool to me.
The first FPS game I really got into was Rainbow 6, which didn't include "Power Ups", "Ammo Boosters", and actual elements of strategy.
The first time I played the game with actual real-live human beings was a great experience... a good old LAN party with friends and booze. It was awesome...
These days things are different....
I have a job, kids, ex-wife, fiance, bills.... and the last thing I want to deal with on my off time these days is some of the shit that now seems to purvey any sort of multiplayer game that involves things that explode....
Spawns: Each new game states that there is a new "Spawn engine" which will reduce spawn camping, yet 2 weeks after any release, prepare to die 2 seconds after half of your respawns....
Idiotic hiding places caused by glitches: Cmon really... your kill count depends on hiding in that ONE rock on that ONE map?
Lack of strategy: Why find a good spot to lay covering fire while teammates overrun a position when all you have to do is have "lightweight", "marathon", and a knife?
Damage: a glancing knife attack... instant death.... a full on shot to the face with a SPAS 12 shotgun? Continue to fight another day....
Kids: Anyone who can play a game 12 to 18 hours a day, every day, for 3 months, living off of caffeine and sugar is going to kick your ass at any type of video game. In fact, they should just divide game servers for different age groups so I can go up against other old codgers like me who don't know or care that there is that "kick ass" glitch on the desert map if you use the desert eagle with an extended clip....
Sniping: Used to be fun and a bit of a change from running around knifing people.... these days though, with few exceptions.... forget all about 1 shot, 1 kill.... snipers have basically become bullet sponges.....
I could forget about EVERYTHING else on this list if it weren't for one thing.... Hackers....
If you've ever wondered why a new title is only fun for about 3 weeks, that's usually about the time it takes to develop a good aim\radar hack for a new title and it spread like wild fire. Hell, sometimes they are available to download before the game is even out....
Nothing like spawning INSIDE a building and dying 2 seconds after you spawn by an assault rifle.... 3 times in a row..... from across the map.... by a smart ass fat kid who's latest line is "Newbs Suck"........
Hey kid, have fun with that.....
I guess I'll go get a BJ from my hot chick while I have a beer.
Got a hack for that?
