How do you not know about this hierarchy?

I don't play Halo.

This hierarchy exists across ALL FPS's

It does, but the three FPS I've played... there was no nub weapons cause they were good games.

Oh..?

 

What games?

Jedi Knight, Natural Selection, Team Fortress 2

...damn

 

You had to say JK and TF2...

Yes.

Cheater :P

What darling?

Well they are both well balanced games...

 

But even still, those are PC games. It's much easier to make noob weapons on a console FPS.

I will agree... although there was that plus grip option on JK... which took advantage of the dialup lag factor back in the day. :(

 

that sucked.

Ewww....

 

that's scary. and the idea of a 56k modem

Oh.. it gets better.

 

Since there was a clear server/client.  Not a server/client/client.

 

Whoever was server had first dibs on the items, SO... if I was server I could run around and pick up the ammo before anyone else could.

 

The grip thing I'm talking about, as normally Force Grip would hold you in place and you'd take 1-6 dmg per sec for about 10 seconds. Which in Full-Force game is a lot of dmg.

 

The "pulse" grip would happen when lag was over 150ms, and you wouldn't stand still or vice versa so you could still move around, and if you broke line of sight, if you pushed the "use force" button again, it would re-grip the person and start all over and line of sight would NOT break it.

 

Epic exploit, but it went down as broadband usage went up.

Evil, and I'm glad they fixed it. That one where if you're the first to spawn on the map is brutal.

Yeah.. that too.

Like, that's one hell of an oversight, evil

It wasn't an oversight it had to do with .cog net code.

Ah, I see. But it's still pretty bad.

It is, but it isn't something they could have fixed.

Not yet...

well, i've g2g for religious reasons (anox, guess what religion i'm part of!), and i'll be back in 'bout 2 hrs.

Cool, but I may be asleep by then as it will be 12 for me.

Yeah... I'll be leaving in about an hour, after I eat.

Yes, as it will be time for bed.
