Coming back here has really made me miss playing with all the friends I'd made, and all the battles that have ensued. I'm proposing a weekly 1.0 or 1.1 gathering of anyone who wants to get together for some old school gaming fun. I was thinking either a Wednesday or Sunday night, each week...

Nothing was sexier than watching U17 wipe clan RICED in 1.1 =P

*Sheds a tear* 1.1 anyone? :-/

Your join date is August 2004. You couldn't have been gone very long seeing as u have over 100 posts. More like, "wow 17 is posting O_o. Haven't seen him since 1.2 relased >_<" =P But seriously, I'm not back. Just nothing to do. 17 ftw!

I think you suggestion there speaks only of beam spamming. I didn't read beyond your first post seeing as that was the "suggestion" you were making. I don't think there is a clear solution for stopping someone on a melee slaughtering. The only thing you could really do to save yourself from...

I bought a FX5200 and an FX5600 and neither were compatible with my motherboard. So I should shell out another $120 for a decent board just to play some hl1 mod. 100fps (dropping to 70-80 during fast melee) with my GF2 on ESF-- sounds like crap to me. -_- Heh, it would probably even get 120...

This is the kind of response I would have expected from Darkside. -_- Uh, how do we pull this one back on... topic? Was there a topic? I didn't quite realize the "lucky" part of this thread.

The best counter for beam spamming is to relentlessly kill the spammer til he leaves the server. You might die a few times getting close while he right-clicks a beam and blows himself up, but generally a decent player should have no problem with burying a beam spammer. In 1.1 if a guy was...

With Natural Selection, their beta 4 patches were merely to level the playing field between different alien classes and marine classes. There weren't any changes to gameplay. Things like changing the cost of points for different skills, changing health and armor statistics for different...

At 22, I guess that makes me a big kid ;|

I'm sceptical about whether those are esf models or not. I mean, you would think the scales would be different for WC3 models compared to models for HL. It's hard to identify any notable characteristics between the models as well, seeing as the models are immensely smaller in their WC3 custom...

Kids these days =\ hehe Must have taken you a good chunk of time to build up a pl of 28 million.

How do you know that this picture wasn't taken in 1st person view of another ESF team member using a character like Goku, who has 120hp by default (Well, if this still holds true in 1.2 I only remember 1.0/1 :laff: ). The PL u see on the screen is of whoever took the screen shot of the ginyu...

First off, show some respect. I'm not some noob who's been playing ESF since September of 2004. A mere 3+ months into the game. Maybe you've played a lil' longer than your join date on the forums, but can't be that much longer because the forums will suck you in immediately after getting the...

Consider this! Would you rather live a little longer with someone melee "spamming" you, or have some random guy you can't see in your field of vision blasting you away from the other end of the map, killing you in 1 hit, aka beam spamming. Atleast with melee, everyone has room to improve...

Looks like I won something... Yes, I admit it. I was using forum hax. Only to win tho. Only to win.

It's lame that ESFnewb made this thread based on someone else's view of the legitimacy of gaming, such as the entity of beam spamming. Don't think you are the first person to make such a thread. Judging by your join date, you've seen a few days posts on this board. I've been here for 2 years...

I think you are missing the point. Many of us are having to run this game in D3D mode, which would be the ONLY game I've ever played on the HL engine that I had to run this mode. This is the HL engine --and its capabilites-- that we are discussing, something that came out nearly 6 years ago...

Spamming melee is uh... not possible. Since melee involves combat with only one other opponent and requires several hits to kill someone, I don't see how you can spam melee. Spamming an attack means doing something rapidly while trying to kill people as quick as possible. Beams can be...

Incase you don't know, a dedicated server is run on a machine that is strictly for running that server and not actually playing. Dedicated servers are often permanently running and can be hosted personally or commercially. Some people who have an "extra" computer at home might choose to...
