Here is a post in the FA forums. COuld someone please test this on Armory Server IV and let me know...I take care of the 3 servers in Aus and ive been lucky enough to be there when it has crashed a few times , both times exactly when i was treated for a concussion.Im going to test it out nowEdit: tested it three times to be sure , all three times the server crashed , specific to treating concussions.Btw linux/dedicated

Hi Snake... Macgyver is at a Hockey match, but will be home a little later. He does all the scheduling so we have to wait for him.

Nice pics Becca....and welcome back to TA :lol:I know what you are doinf btw...its a weggie :mrgreen:

Hey Bigbud....welcome back. Always nice to see a familiar face in the game.

Congrats

I could not imagine flying without a joystick...lol I use a Logitec "Extreme 3D Pro" It has "twist" for left and right rudder (a must for flying). The helicopters fly much better in BF: Vietnam, but it is a new game engine that helps that... See you on the server...

Congrats AlaraphonAMD...great to hear you are doing well. Stop by and play some when you get the chance. :)RegardsGator

Welcome TFD2001 :)We are kind of new to DC and BF:V (as is everyone else), but we sure do have fun playing. Nice to see regulars come back to the server. If you get a chance, please look around our site. You might find some helpful tips, or just some funny stuff. As Statecop said, please stop by our Ventrilo voice server and say high. <----see link on left in "Main Menu"Welcome to The Armory forums, server, and website. See you later on the server.Regards,Gator

The stats are set for at least 2 hours of playing within a 2 week period. It doesn't have to be continuous, but it only counts stats for the previous 14 days. If a player had 4 hours 15 days ago, it will not be counted.We set the stats this way to prevent players from playing for a few minutes on a map like Iwo Jima and end up ranking high. But the same player would not play ps_marie for example where he would not score very high. We found there were some players would would jump from server to server just to qualify with a high ranking on each server...this put a stop to this.I hope I explained this ok

Thanks for all the nice words Shultz. We like having you and all the TBT players on the server as well.

Welcome back Doc.... Glad to see you had fun

Jerkov, thanks for your two cents...This post is closed

You have been immediately unbanned by me. Sorry for any problems you may have had with the Admin(s) in question. Thanks again for playing at The Armory

I will check into this...

Good to see you repond back Sky. Let us know when your ready to play and we will be there.

Doc, will you pick up some free games and software for me :)Have a great time and be safe, and let us know how it went when you get back.

I completely disagree about the choppers, and I think they fly great. I could very easily fly a DC chopper, but I feel the choppers in BF:V are much more responsive than DC choppers. The left/right yoke is horribly slow and sluggish in DC, and the chopper sometimes goes where it wants to...kinda roly-poly you might say. I have flown in several military helicopters in the past, and the BF:V choppers seem much more realistic as to the dynamics of how they actually fly.Also, tanks can easily shoot you out of the sky in DC (easier than a Stinger missile), but in BF:V they cannot. It's all about personal choice I guess, but that is my honest opinion anyways... :)We had just started to get involved with DC (about a few months), before we launched into BF:V, so some of clan members had a certain mindset about DC and did not want to convert. Download the demo's and see what you like best, or just simply buy them both

IMHO anyway, BF:V is the greatest FPS game in modern history. There is nothing more satisfying than loading up 6 passengers into a Chinook and landing an assault on an objective (capture flag). The game is very reliant on teamwork and strategy. :mrgreen: Here is a screenshot of a player flying with me in the Chinook

Goss, i respect you, and i respect your work. I know you busted your ass to provide CD, a better 2.9, and a number of other things. However, when Mazor claims something is an exploit, or a bug, than i don't care who else says otherwise, it IS a bug, it IS an exploit. Mazor has said it is, i'm not going to say otherwise. And as for Chappy and Shotty, you're able to (at this moment) take out zoom scripts that allow you to see through walls, and kill your opponant using guns. You wouldn't ban me for having a wall hack, and a zoom script? :roll: Oh, and i believe TA was one of the biggest complainers when net-tez was bringing down the TA server due to a bug in the engine that allowed it to be used. They also were the first to say something about arty crashing servers; yet they banned arty because of the bug. -edit- Oh, and for anyone who wants to say mazor never claimed it was a bug: this is for you We most definitely differentiate between scripts (hacks) and normal game files. Any file(s) designed to circumvent the game is NOT authorized. Players will be instantly banned if found to be using any type of scripts. There is no comparison to a player setting up in a sniping position in the game. And yes, we are very concerned about anyone who maliciously attempts to crash the server, and yes, the mortar was temporarily banned because of a major crash bug. In fact, it was the first, and last, weapon ever to be banned on the Armory server. Again, you cannot pull any type of analogies from these instances you described that's just plain silly

Looks pretty cool....I think we will give it a try. Thanks for letting us know.

Just 3 points: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Servers that ban players for these so called "exploits", as well as past "Weapons" bannings have lost all but a few players that are left. If other servers keep banning people for this trivial crap, I am afraid to say that FA will be totally dead and gone for good. People should stop whining about "exploits" and just play the game and have fun. Also, the Armory is usually at capacity and is not notmally a "semi-filled" server. Lastly, 3NF, you and Delta are both great players, so I respect your opinions. Please understand that our main goal is so that everyone has a good time. Thanks for your input.

I'm talking about players intentionally moving side to side to avoid getting hit...this is very irritating, and has nothing to do with a speed boost to my knowledge. They are doing everything in there power to avoid getting hit, and always seems to move forward while hitting the strafe left/right keys at the same time.

My biggest complaint (excluding the FAMAS of course) about Firearms is never usually mentioned, nor does anyone ever complain about it. It is predominately used by "skilled" players, and seems to be an accepted "exploit" by most players. I am referring to the dreaded.... [drum roll] Zig-Zagger Exploit This is my biggest complaint of all. I think this is the single most violated "exploit" of them all. People who bind there keys to move in a side-to-side (sometimes circular) motion to avoid getting hit. In fact, I don't believe the hits actually register properly on the receiving player because of the limits in HL. You never, ever, hear anyone complaining or mentioning about people using this "exploit", but most of the "skilled" players use it consistently to avoid getting hit. Even though I do not like it, I would nver ban it or tell a player he cannot use it. Why? Because it is part of the game.

The definition you refer to still stands today, so where is the hypocrisy? The fact is is that I have not found one place where I could not get the other guy and terminate him; thus this is a non-issue. It may take a grenade or an M-79, but he will go down. You may not unable to get him a famas and heavy armor, but a player can reasonably terminate him.
