Powerlord Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hm, glad to see you back bonzai. Hopefully, this means we'll have someone who plays medic, meaning some random idiot who only heals the heavy won't have to.Gah. Some medics are just fuckin' stupid. The complaining about medics is why I generally don't play medic anymore. There's no way you can make everyone happy; why bother trying? You're just going to get the blame if your team loses anyway. I don't need to deal with that sort of shit, kthx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's definitely no way to make everyone happy, and that's just simply unrealistic. That's not what I meant at all. The guys I'm referring to as 'dumb' are the ones who join a game and do NOTHING but heal heavies, thinking that's the best plan. That's just silly. If you're heavy's sitting at 450 health and you got a lit-up scout right next to you, about to die...who would you heal? Answer this question with the heavy, and you fall under a category I like to label as dumb. Also: I really like Zephyr's map. If you haven't done so already, you should download it and look over it, as it's really damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your heavy's sitting at 450 health and you got a lit-up scout right next to you, about to die...who would you heal? It depends on circumstances. For instance, if an uber is going on, I'd stay on the heavy. Or if I suspect the scout is a spy. Especially if it's a combination of the two. Here's a double standard I "love": 1. People complain when, as a medic, I don't check for spies behind us. 2. People complain when, as a medic, I stop healing them to shoot at suspected spies. 3. People complain when, as a medic, I try to kill a spy. Note that 1 is mutually exclusive with 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 why don't you just tell the heavy there is a spy also arena is for fags who play counter-strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 why don't you just tell the heavy there is a spyalso arena is for fags who play counter-strike 'cause some people *coughedgecrushercough* have voice chat disabled or don't realize I'm speaking to them.

Xerol Oplan Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 What gets me is when someone with 100% uber and no other obvious healing targets nearby refuses to follow or uber me to make a push on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 bonzai did an awesome job today of ubering me during goldrush. Great job. Edit: is there a way to set rtv to only be usable after a period of time. Seriously, these new people showing up and rtving 5 seconds into arena is annoying. I don't want to play dustbowl again.

Tensei Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Just have to say that Bleck is absolutely right about soldiers being noobcannons in certain maps. I have barely played the class but I tried for shits and giggles on Dustbowl defense 3 and I went with a 4:1 k/d rate (which was aided by the fact that a kritz-happy medic paired up with me, but still..). Even on maps like Steel where I didn't have a constant medic buddy I did relatively well. On the topic of medics, gotta love the ones that just pop a uber without asking when you're not even close enough to the enemy sentries or when all your weapons need reloading. IMO if you're playing medic you just need to use voice comm to be as effective as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm curious: what servers do you all typically play on when the OCR server isn't up and running? Also, I'm a medic - look for me in game as Dr. Rogers (steamname: rogersj3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I pretty much exclusively play on the OCR server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Same here, the OCR server is a lot less painful to play on than the others I've been on, and with some fun moments to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've ventured out to the odd server sometimes, but I always come back to OCR, same people all the time = more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 So, so far there has been mixed reception with the arena maps - what do you all think about them? Just a reminder, the map rotation is currently pl_badwater arena_lumberyard ctf_turbine pl_goldrush arena_ravine cp_dustbowl cp_gravelpit ctf_fastlane arena_well cp_granary pl_badwater arena_lumberyard ctf_2fort cp_steel cp_dustbowl arena_badlands pl_badwater cp_well cp_badlands arena_granary tc_hydro pl_cave_b6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmuh Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 you know my opinion about arena maps and also i hate turbine so id REEEALLY be happy if you could make turbine NOT come right after an arena map i think im the only one that still loves constant dustbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensai Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You guys know that I love Arena. That being said, the majority of the people on the server seem to have some kinda...I dunno, hatred for it. We had JUST started arena_well and pretty much everyone RTVed. I figure if we just have an arena every 5 maps, that'd be fine with me and would be a small enough number for the people who don't like it.
