You do realise that pretty much every on-line game has a mute function that you literally only have to press two buttons to use I don't get people that complain about it when its that easy to solve the problem.redisforever said:

I agree with you in part but things lie noob tubes are game breaking because there is no effective way to counter them if someone has figured out where to aim so it hits your spawn everyone dies right at the start and if they have danger close on even if you have a blast shield you still die.So I personally don't think its a fair or legitimate strategy when there is no counter to it.immovablemover said:

Camping has always been legit from the start. There's a reason you got those grenades or rockets, you know.

1-4 are totally fine. Camping means you won't come across as many people and won't get as many opportunities to kill somebody plus it means you're predictable. Quickscoping/noscoping is entirely based on luck unless you're ridiculously skilled and even then you have a huge disadvantage at close range where a quick AR or SMG burst will usually best them. Dropshotting just makes sense as you're making yourself a smaller target and able to fire more accurately. The hit markers however are a glitch. Overpowered weapons are normally limited by ammo or in some way to counter their power.
Ha, we're cool I just took it wrong, happens when you don't have any body language or vocal tone to go by.artanis_neravar said:
Oh, I know how that is, I've gotten in a lot of trouble for that exact same thing.Keith Reedy said:
that doesn't disregard the fact that people still name the rooms specifically for that purpose and boot you for that exact purpose, whether they lock it from actual play or kick you for using it it's still the same purpose. I have played multiple games where you couldn't even "rent" servers and they would still apply those rules.artanis_neravar said:
and have you never been to any tournaments before? (not that its a bad thing) but they ban lots of varieties of weapons for OP purposes, but most of the time the noob tube is high up on that list of banned items
Seriously, you're fine with someone glitching into a rock and killing you, and you can't shoot them back.The Mighty Thesaurus said:
why do sniper rifles kill in one shot anyway? i always thought that should be reserved for headshots and a sniper rifle should just be the easiest way to headshot people on med/long range.
i am ok with everything but hacking on that list, imbalanced weapons and glitches should be fixed by the developers and everything else is annoying at most but not game breaking.

In response to the original post and the edits.Ninjat_126 said:
On Camping: Strategy is legitimate. If you have your head up, bear in mind that tight locations and choke points likely are tented, and keep a quick kill weapon handy, campers are very easily dispatched. If you keep running into an area you know is camped then there is no one to blame for your demise but you. The game isn't broken, that's just one small piece of a larger map and a larger fight, you can avoid that spot or roundabout to get a drop on camper. Play smart and you might get hit by a camper a few times but by and large you'll beat them.
On Quick/No Scoping: Listing something like this as unfair or game breaking is silly. It takes either a ton of luck to pull this trick off or the player has practiced it to a fine skill. Either way it tends to be inefficient compared to traditional tactics. The only player I found that actually made this strategy kind of work effectively was using an aim bot (Intervention MWF2) and even then he got his clock cleaned by end game.
On Crouch/Diving: So you would rather I stay standing and dine upon every bullet you sling my way? Again there are lots of ways around this if you are bugged enough by it to make a rant post. I do this myself the and field is fairly even against some who is using the same tactic. If you are adverse to a Commando control setting then just walk your sight up the target when shooting, if they crouch they invite a head shot.
Noobish Weapons: Provided the game is in balance then there is no reason to complain about this. It may surprise you but there were automatic weapons in use during the first World War, most filled the LMG roll with a few precursors to modern assault rifels showing up towards then end. If you spend enough time playing an FPS with a weapon you like and that works well for you then really there are not any weapons you can't over come. Again providing the game is in balance (side note: if all the weapons at the highest level were just a re-skin of low level weapons there really wouldn't be any incentive to acquire those weapons).
You final two points: We can all get behind exploits and glitches being resolved so that people can play the game as it was supposed to be played. As far as the post goes the first three points were in regards to actual behavior and play of the game and the final two are issues with exploitation. If you have specific issues with hackers then that would be something for the game producers forum.
In closing please try and be open minded about your play-style. We are playing these games for fun but if common tactics and behavior get you bent out of shape I would recommend either finishing the game or quitting the match, remove the disk, and insert a game that doesn't aggravate you. If your open to it ask players that top the KDR (even if you don't aspire to be among them) how they respond to a given situation. Odds are they'll give you a specific tip to avoid a problem or get around a weapon raining hell on the field. Thank you and have a nice day.
It's legitimate in games where spawn-camping isn't the default strategy (Halo, America's Army, I'm looking at you). Spawn-camping is simple griefing because there is no way to stop it short of them running out of ammo. Under those circumstances there is no competition, and thus no game.Ninjat_126 said:
Only applies to games with shitty weapon balancing. The most broken no-scope weapon was ironically one of the first to exhibit this behavior: The UT99 Sniper Rifle.
Those are the only items on the list I had any comment on.
I generally feel that the only "cheap" form of camping is to camp near an enemy spawn point so that you kill them the moment they appear, before they can even get their bearings. The reason I consider that "cheap" is because there's no counter to it, short of having sentries around the spawn points, and it's completely unrealistic since people don't generally teleport into battles yet (unless they have chainswords and yell "FOR THE EMPEROR!" a lot, and even they don't trust teleporters very much). Still, developers can put a stop to this tactic if they really want to. Either allow players to drop an artillery barrage on their spawn point just before appearing, or allow a few seconds of invincibility upon a respawn. Snipers who "camp" are doing what snipers are supposed to be doing: preventing the enemy from advancing through an area and picking off the enemy as when opportunity allows it.
