I don't quite think Blue Vex would explicitly say it is a cheat.

As long as someone can tell my enemy that I'm currently low on health or camping beneeth the bridge, I'll have a negative stance against voice communication. [..]
Learn to read. He says he has a negative stance against voice communication. That is a completely different issue.

And another thing.
It scares me how much Jazzie posts like me.
Bruv, you post what I would post if you didn't get there first... I've noticed this throughout the board. I guess I wasn't missed much then eh?
Jazzie has this forum in a grip like iron, which is good, or maybe not, I'm not too sure about it. But what you say is not really true, you are missed... by some.

I don't think its cheat, if lim is on.

If anyone need a ventrilo channel just ask me in #mi :)

even with limchase you can do that, not as much, but still.

I think its cheating as long as you are able to talk when you are dead. Dead bodies won't talk, as they say. It gives too good advantage in 1on1 situation, cos dead mates can tell if they have made some damage to the last enemy and where he was last seen. Fix this with some build-in mm3 system which goes off when one dies and then I'll approve it 100%.

Well put McCree.
I think ventrilo is fun and all that, but even with limchasecam on, you still get some advantages. No doubt about it.

True. Ventrilo shouldn't be involved in AQ2, unless both sides use it in a cw =)

If there's like few (5-15) clans which uses ventrilo regularily and dozens (30-100?) clans which doesnt use it, so it would be easier if those few clans just stopped using it during cw's instead of all those dozens (30-100) clans started to use it.


edit. seems like the proverb sits here fine: "Why do it easy way if you can do it the hard way?"

If it would be that easy, im sure that many more people would use it. Everyone just doesnt have the chance to use it.

lols another thread about that subject..

but im gonna let u know my opinion anyways :)


i think the advantages you get by using mm3 are too little to complain about. the help of your mates in the end of a round gets overrated very much (mostly of ppl that have never used mm3). if you wouldve used it you'd know that those 'tips" u get there make you lose your concentration more often than help you. of course the fairest thing would be to put up a system where you cant talk anymore when youre dead, but hey, find someone to do that?.. in contrast to that, for me, mm3 is a nice feature that keeps me playing the game as its much more enjoyable to TALK with your mates. (like that even the first map in our eaql match against iN was funny heh.)

if a clan use it, they should tell the opponent.
then they either can accept the cw or not.

limchasecam is always a alternative.
but still you can get some small advantages, and limchasecam really sucks :) it's fun to watch your opponent also.

its understandeble that some clans want to use it...
I belive that not all clans use it to only get advantages, but also to have more fun in their cws.
but i've learnd to accept mm3 when limchasecam is enabled, cuz its really no way to stop clans that want to use it.

but for me,I feel skretch whining will be to much in mm3 ;)
