You guys are so ****ing ignorant I can't stand it. Read my last post again before you start talking. I keep hearing the same bull**** from the same people again and again. Now I'm pissed off.
If you were dueling in the mid-west and you had someone else fire your gun for you while you were turning around, that would be considered cheating. Oh sure, you can tell someone to fire your gun for you, but just because you can doesn't make it right.
If this was an Ultimate Fighting Championship tournament and you swung your foot at your opponent so that it connected at the exact moment that the ringer sounded the start of the round, that would be considered pre-emptive and cheating. Oh sure, you can do it, and you didn't hit him until after the bell, but it was an unfair advantage and it doesn't prove anything.
ESF is not half life. Read my post you ignorant fools. ESF is not half life, it's just built on the engine. It wasn't built on the half life engine so that you could take advantage of it and **** it up like you have with CS. It was built on the Half Life engine because it was the easiest to work with and hammer out a stable product with. Just because it happened to end up on the half life engine doesn't mean you can pretend it's a game of CS or Half Life and treat it accordingly. This is a clash of interests, and it isn't anything that the ESF team planned for when they produced the mod. When two players compete, and one has multiple tele scripts, that player is (assuming he knows how to block and attack) quite literally given a free attack every time he presses the teleport button towards his opponent, since his opponent will have no reaction time. If he presses it again, he will quite literally teleport off of his opponent's radar and completly out of the fight (assuming he is transformed, which he probably is), which means there is an additional loss of potential reaction time for his opponent. It wasn't because the guy using scripts was a good player. In fact, he was a crappy new guy, but he knew that if he hit that button and held attack when his opponent wasn't blocking, he would hit him. And he know that if he did it again, his opponent would have trouble finding them. Now all he has to learn to do is teleport across the map when his opponent is about to melee him and he's almost unstoppable. That's all we need, a bunch of worthless players using scripts because they don't know how to play. Well, that's what we have, thanks to people like you. I take that back; they are people like you. Some of us know how to do it and we just don't, because we appreciate all of the possibilities of the melee system, even if it is half assed.
It's like using iron knuckles in a fist fight. There is no golden rule that tells you not to, but you are really being a cheap mother ****er, and it doesn't prove anything to anyone. No matter how good you think you are, if the only reason you are winning a fight in ESF is because the game is fighting for you, you haven't proved anything to anyone. This goes out especially geared towards the DBZ fans: If, on first namek, Goku had transferred his energy over to Piccolo and directed Piccolo to winning the fight, would Goku have proven his worth? When you press a button that turns you around and teleports you all over the place or to specifically where you want to go, you've eliminated the human error, as well as the human element. Holding attack and pressing a button with 10 teleports strung together isn't you playing, it's the game following a scripted set of orders. Same goes for blocking scripts, and scripts that allow you to hit an opponent several times before he hits the ground. Same goes for scripts that allow you to instantly appear behind your opponent and using melee or swooping at them. If Goku had made Piccolo fight his fight for him, and just told him when to attack, it wouldn't be Goku's victory. If you need the advantage of some cheap ass scripting to be "teh win" then you have got to get over the "anything to win" ideology and just learn to play the game as it was created.
P.S. Mystic Goku, don't be an ass. If you honestly aren't intelligent enough to seperate a bind that gives you an advantage in combat from an admin command you should not be hosting your own servers. Kicking a player or downloading a model isn't cheating because IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE IN COMBAT, baka. An UNFAIR ADVANTAGE IN COMBAT consists of SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE OTHERWISE HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE. No matter how hard you try, you cannot get across the map instantly without a script. You might get across almost instantly, but not instantly, and there is a huge ****ing difference. No matter how long you practice, you wont be able to teleport behind someone, turn around, and swoop instantly. It isn't humanly possible. Firing a kamehameha is humanly possible.
