Imegabyte Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 (edited) I am talking about v 0.3r2 It seems like when I enter an area where there is like a battle going on, I would get shot in the back like 5 or 6 times, and when I turn aroung, the frames lag abt by the time I can aim im dead. The cars seem to have a shorter life too, blowing up after 5-8 shots, a pain when your just driving along and some nut shoots out your tires and kills your car. HP seems to decrease alot sooner and you have to ether commit suicide and fight or run and get health every couple minutes. Im not a noob or complainer as most may take it, I just hope this annoyance is fixed in the next version, cuse its no fun to fight for a short time then die like your noone.

b0b0 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 What kind of video card do you have? It makes all the difference Link to comment
Imegabyte Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 I have a 2.53GHz P4, 1024 RAM, ATI AIW 9800pro 128mb, T-1 connection, fresh VC and XP install using no no-cd crack. Version 0.2.2 didnt crash after an hour or so, this is every 10-20 mins. The lag is disgusting and ppl are already cheating, i dont know how. And, I have to aim dead center for any kind of hit.

[KFC]KungFu Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I think you die fast because of your good ping. Mine is real low and it happens to me. Just move around more and lead people more when you shoot. Link to comment
Imegabyte Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 (edited) No, my ping has nothing to do with it. I have had a friend go in with me in v0.2.2 and time how long it takes to kill me with the same gun and shots and did the same in v0.3, and v0.3 has a conciderably shorter life expectancy. I dont mean to b*tch, just wanted to point it out is all, and that its fustrating as all hell. Im usually calm but now I cant play without being pissed off and wanting to quit, throwing down my USB adapted N64 controller in due to dying too quick. Also the sabre goes slower for some reason, which is the only car I like driving. Stunt mode is boring cuse theres no action, and since 0.3 came out, mostly everyone is untrusting upon teaming up. I work well in a group but suck alone. I do enjoy playing, or it wouldnt be installed onto my machine, its just it has lost its fun playability somewhat, now ppl are just out for blood and I am usually the quick dying target. I know, I know, your like get a life dude, but damn, it would fustrate you too. Edited January 5, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 if you were used to 0.2.2 like i was, 0.3 rewrote the book on some of the tactics that you can/cant use. you should consider the new aiming system and how it affects you. i personally still havent gotten comfortable with the new version, as shotguns are now the almighty and m60s tend to shoot head on, or just miss altogether. i cant quite figure it out myself Link to comment
NeCrOn Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Eh, from my view, having a good ping don't seem to help. I always die, since everyone else somehow takes three magazines of assault rifle and don't go down, then suddenly they start losing health, by that time its too late. Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Low ping hurts more than it helps. Mine is around 30 to 70 most times. Has anyone else noticed with 3.0 that some people seem to stand and shoot the shotgun almost rapidfire and they don't stop shooting or move or take any damage? It's a pain in the ass. When they start running I can tag them but not when they are shooting. Link to comment
NeCrOn Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Yea, its especially a pain with the stubby if you get knocked down. The remington seems to fire extremely freaking fast though. Thats why I stay in my car. I'm like a driver, I drive you kill. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 lol kung. i personally enjoy playing with a disadvantage like a low ping. in cs i practiced against the bots after i gave them perfect aim. unorthodox method, but it worked just on a side story thats kind of funny = i was playing in a server, there was a infinate health hacker running around laughing at everyone because he couldnt die. i got in a heli and litterally had the poor bastard crying he was dying so much by the time he left the server Link to comment

Hey you gave me an idea for a new thread and your post is going to be the first. Look for it in the General MTAVC forum Link to comment
pokepets360 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 how does low ping harm you? you just have less lag and smooth movement. Link to comment
Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 low ping harms because you get more packets faster from the server you might say... trust me its not a good thing just not quite sure how to explain it Link to comment
Imegabyte Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 Well, my guess is that since you have a better ping (refresh rate), your position is more accurate, hence an easier target, a drawback for a faster game on a faster machine with a better connection. You may have a better system, but it f*cks ya as a result come battle time. Thats an educated guess, which I believe to be accurate. Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 ding ding ding give that man a cigar yes your movement is smoother and more accurate. Plus you download the damage faster than others so you die quicker. Since this game is client side the users computer is the final arbitor of what happened. A high ping computer might not know I just stubbied him but I will get his packet that he shot me. Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I have a 2.53GHz P4, 1024 RAM, ATI AIW 9800pro 128mb, T-1 connection, fresh VC and XP install using no no-cd crack. OMFG GIMMIE YOUR COMPUTER! anyway, i dont see why should u care about dying faster? dying faster makes it all more challanging! oh and it seems very hard to kill me on low ping servers... maybe im that skillfull? Link to comment
Imegabyte Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Well, I care about dying faster because to tell you the truth, I never really was a good shot. I now understand why I die so quickly but its a let down. Heh, maybe I should fireup my old 56k fax modem I use for winfax, use one of my dialup connections and play my heart out, then maybe I can live longer... but id rather pierce my nutsack before I would go back to a phone line... Link to comment
Guest Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 lol i dont know about piercing the nut sack.. but you do die faster in this version due to everyone having better aim. but im already finding ways to compensate for this Link to comment
[FBI]Mac-10 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Sometimes I regret having a low ping...because of that... like when i went through ALL my 12guage ammo and then went through all my M60 ammo and then most of my Uzi ammo on this one kid and im like, "theres no fucking way ANYTHING could survive that!" so as im changing a clip, this kid runs up to me (full health even) and smashes me with a nightstick, hits me twice more with a damn stick an Im dead. i swear to F*CKING god, this better be changed somehow for future releases, cuz i cant take that bullshit.

Keva Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 it all comes down to skill you have no skill you die quicker simple as that Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 no true keva Yes good players stay alive longer but high ping means you can take more damage and have more packet loss. Glitches, lag and sync are all part of the game. The best players have all sorts of ping. Around 100 to 140 is ideal for damage and playability I hover around 30 to 70 and I just keep moving and avoid m60 faceoffs, I prefer stubbys because high or low ping that will drain you.

Black Dragon Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 ewwwwwwwwwwww shutguns! the multifire ability is coo, but its nothing against long range weapons! well... if anyone gets into my shotgun range i just BURN HIM!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAhA!!! Link to comment
