hehe Well I agree with Nozaki(ofc, or I won't get to play ^^)
I'm not writing this to change the way you guys play, I'm writing it to explain why and how I play, so the understanding in the scene can atleast become a little better. I don't play aq2 to be best, I don't even care if we win anything. If I was in it for the thrills of a win I would play cs instead or maybe play in a 3x m4, 1x Sniper clan. but that bores me. when I play I want to have a laugh, down a couple of beers and share a moment with some mates. Playing against a competative clan with the only intention to win kinda ruins that fun for me. sure a hard fought cw can be fun, and I aint that bad of a player(okey I am) so I can't hold it against most of the players out there, it's just that it bores me.
I don't know if this is something you grow into when you have played a game long enough, I'm sure as hell dosen't think that way about battlefield or any other game. but it seems like the really old clans with hundreds of cws in the backpack knows how to have a good time alot more than younger players and clans, I'm not saying all competative players are immature, but when you have won long enough I guess it gets boring and you start to like other things in a game.
and to answer and common missconception:
I play to win, i like to win, i hate to lose so it's no fun. i can play mabye one or two cw just for fun if you are on vent or lan, but not more. i get board if there isin't anything competitive in the game.
Playing for fun dosen't mean we play to loose, we throw a party and drink ourself silly and brag about every win we have and we will taunt you and remind you about it untill you grow old and grey. It's just that we know how to take a loose and can enjoy a good fought game anyways.
The fun part for us is letting go abit and showing of a bit, maybe playing m3/stealth or akimbos/kevlar just to show off a bit. Or maybe doing that dangerous jump that you can't control to 100% just to be able to slice someone in the back. For me this game is about action, the name kinda gives that away. allways playing the same old maps, where everyone uses the exact same weapons and play in the exact same way bores me like hell.
To take an example, we have teamdepo as our homemap. and we love fighting on it, there is nothing more fun that sneaking around with m3 or hc or something like that inside the house and suddenly make a rush out one of the windows and wreak havoc on the other team. there is two types of clans we have faced on that map, thoose with pride and thoose who want's to win. the clans with pride clash against us in furious fights all over the map with a wide range of weapons, and all respect to those clans, Love to play against you guys. And then there are the winners, it takes them two rounds to understand that having a sniper in spawn, staying in the open areas with m4 will win you alot of rounds. Those cws seems to take forever, sometimes they even have the stomach to call us campers since we takes our time, taking cheap shots against them instead of rushing their defensive position.
and to comment the finish scene, I think it's naive to say they are all the same, I've played against lame ass clans from finland who get's pissed of and calls us lamers and cheaters just becouse of the simple fact that I kick their asses with a shotgun. but I've also played some of my best cw's against clans from our neighbour in north
just like there are swedish and norweign clans I don't like and who dosen't share my vision of the game there are clans from finland who fits our playing style and those who dosen't.
and quite frankly, playing 2x on their server dosn't bug me, just means I don't have to find an empty cw server
as long as they agree to use limchase I'm greatful that they have their own server
\Badwerds ranted abit to.
