I always try to 'bait' people to talk about this game. Been doing it for years. But no, I wasn't trying to tick you off. And since I like you MrG, and I'm in a great mood today, I'm a gonna write you a novel. Though don't get too touched, truth is I whip these off quickly.
Since you feel my Nascar analogy was not 'up to par', I will try another.
A short 'from my real-life' comparison. I play Disc Golf (golf with frisbees) and I love the game. Take my discs with me when I travel, and have also gone on trips just to play some course somwhere. I've played in at least 10 or 12 different states.
Anyway, I have played with a good friend of mine for years now. He will sometimes roll his disc from the tee towards the hole. Like if there is a bunch of tree branches or something in the way. And I will always tell him he is a wussy, or something that rhymes with that.
Because I feel it is lame to roll the disc, I feel it is meant to be thrown. He usually responds with an offer for me to fornicate with myself, or perhaps, if it's a nice day out, and he's doing well, maybe even something vulgar about my mother. We both laugh, (because we're just kidding, having fun) and walk to the next hole, talking about work, or the kids, or the ducks in the pond, or whatever.
And yet I always look forward to playing him again. I just can't wait till my next chance to try and prove, once and for all, that my 'pure' airborne flight skills will dominate - now, and forever- his pathetic little girly man rolly-toss.
I mean, just because I think and say aliases suck, so what! It's no reason to get upset. All you have to say is "No, they don't suck. You suck" And I would laugh it off with you.
Ok, sure, my comments were 'generalized', but forgive me. That's only because this argument is so old. But to get upset? I just didn't see it coming.
To be more specific, aliases that do a rocket jump for you, I feel, is letting the computer play the game for you. And so on the arugment goes, and has gone, for years. I happen to be on the side of no aliases. None that play for you anyway. I have one that makes me 'dance', so I can go into that Moo map with the disco music and the disco ball and the lights. It's fun.
But anyway, as far as opinion disguised as fact? Well, I guess you are saying that Chaos was intentionaly designed so you could kick away rockets, buzzsaws, and from what I'm told, even rail slugs. I don't think it was. While of course I did not code it, I do believe that yes, this is in fact, a bug. And beyond that, it is my opinion is that it doesn't make sense, and doesn't fit.
This argument about 'it's in the game, so it's OK' is also old as dirt. And I just happen to think it's a very, very weak argument. But again....so what? I am entitled to my opinion. You buy into that logic, that's fine. Again, if you were wakling the disc course with me, we would just gab about the who's and why's right? Or get bored with that same old thing and talk about the ducks. Whatever. But I would not be upset, I'd offer you another drink maybe. Or gas money to the next course.
And there are a thousand variations on the 'it's in the game' argument. Walking on the sky in Q2DM1 is pretty common, for example. So you think that's Ok. Fine. And I think it's lame. Again, so what? I am still not upset.
The reason I did not post on how to kick more weapons out of play, is the same reason I don't always post all the bugs I find in CUT/CUT2. If it is a bug that some folks may never know, but if abused, kills the fun, then I will not put it out there to educate the lamers. If they want to kill the fun, they will at least have to find out on their own.
Maybe I should have been more specific. I will not post the 'how-to's' for those type of bugs here on the forum. Would be glad to share with you in PM or whatever. Why? Because I have played you many times, and I enjoy playing you. I have told you so on the server and in this forum. But you and I are not the only ones reading this.
And I guess I did misread your idea about kicking and falling. I initially took it to mean you meant random falls when kicking. But I guess you meant ever single time I miss my kick, I fall. I see now, I think. But either way, I don't care for the idea. (and.....so what? Lot's of other guys on the team that might like it)
I also don't believe the airgun blowing you into walls and/or off of the map is a feature. I would say that too, is a bug.
