For me the what you call "civilized" way ruined the game. When I was playing jk2 in a clan I had a lot of fun as we kept playing ctf_bespin saber only, full force. It was a game filled with adrenaline. Then with all the servers with ja mod or vulcanus, pure FFA just disappeared. The "civilized" game was good for a while, but when I 100% mastered the saber and knew all the tricks it became old as dueling same ppl and waiting for the #!$#!% duel just wasn't fun. I installed jk2 a while ago, and joined the first populated ffa server... What happened? Same as always... chatboxes everywhere. No ppl dueling... Took me at least 5min to find a dueling partner. I still wonder why the dueling gametype exists... At least there you get to be rewarded if you're goodSumm wrote:boby .. jk2 was COSY as hell, and had a comunity like no other. I miss those times tremendously. Sadly my clanboys have left it, along with 98% of the comunity I loved .. for jka, which by the way, now has turned into a german whorehouse (no offense for the germans). Jk2 endured long enough to have several behavioral mutations. From the hack and slash boring FFA mode to the more civilized, where ppl sat down and LET others play, watched, lured tricks, studied the opponents, commented and took them on again, civilized. Sorry if you don't like it that way. I find it way more attractive than .. say UT, where you know you'll die in 0.5 seconds, respawn, and get headshot as soon as you respawn ... great! wait another 2 seconds, respawn .. SPLAT! Well now .. I guess they painted the wall with my guts .. again .. weeeeeeeee. Sorry, I'm not for mindless action, nor were the guys who still played jk2 on serious servers, like wireplay.
JK2 was good untill there were populated team gameplay servers. But unfortunatly nobody wants to play that, so they soon disappeared. Ppl rather talk than play the #"%"#%" game.
JKJA was good untill we all found out what crap it really is. Fortunatly it didn't have as much "civilized" servers (wireplay, where I played mostly, was pure FFA).
And yes, after JKJA I bought UT2004. And there I only play with instagib mutator. Enter the game, shoot, dodge... Pure action. No waiting in line.
And I really hope NFSU2 won't turn into the crap waiting because ppl rather chat than play the game.
Wanna chat? Go install mIRC and join Quakenet. Same useless discussions, only you're not polluting the server.
. If you wanted a real duel, with some serious saberists asking for a corner for themselves where to train in peace without being harassed by the first dork in their way .. you could knock on our door. That's the way it was. Jka never got to that level, but turned into a massive whorehouse the kind you'd have liked, so I'm pretty amazed you didn't stick to it boby ...
