aint you special

The mod should have been turned over to the public a while ago. Private hives should have been supported from the get go. The only potential right now I see for the mod is in fact private hives and community growth through private hives. Unlike many I am not that excited about the standalone. It is being propped up on speculation and one-liners. I don't think the mod is dead, it's is struggling right now for sure, but things could potentially turn around. Whether that happens is yet to be seen.

these threads always seem to disappear...

One could argue that point, and I will. I actually have in fact belonged to other gaming communities, one of which I had a very popular Clan, and much like every game, we had an anti-cheat application called TOST Protect. I was effective to some degree, and left much of the real work up to server admins alike. But I regress. TOST did not auto-ban like BE, instead it kicked players and logged the files. One would then have to scan the files and reference the I.P.'s , as changing your name was merely as easy as typing it into the HUD. My clan forums had over 1,000 members. Many random players that merely played on one of our several servers, other registered members where from other clans etc etc etc. And like on these forums, people would come and protest there bans etc etc. And like these forums people would jump all over them playing high and mighty and giving them the third degree. I took it upon myself one day to run all the IP's TOST had picked up and log them into the forums, IPB much like this forums, and ban everyone who was banned on the servers. A good many people that so gallantly protested hackers and spoke up against them had been logged several times for running Helios Hook or Elfbot, needless to say it is not mere psychological bullshit. In fact its one of the oldest tricks in the book, right next too " It was my little brother". When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I am always amused at people that are so staunchly against hackers. I mean lets be real, anyone who has played online games for any length of time realizes that they are a fixture in the gaming community, whether we like it or not. However to feel the need to go out of ones way to profess your distaste for them, and thereby lifting your superficial reputation as a "non-hacker" leaves me slightly suspicious. In my experience, it is always the ones that so virulently oppose such behavior, as hacking, are in fact likely hackers themselves, and are just merely attempting to dissuade attention to themselves by acting over zealous.

Settle down bitch tits. He didn't say he supported hacking, all he said is he isn't crazy about the general mentality of the game. One can argue both sides of the fence, but their is no need to get all vile and shit.

You bring up some valid points Frank. One thing to keep in mind is everyone expresses themselves in different ways, AND, you are dealing with a wide range of age groups. Many people can have an open objective conversation, however the thread is usually then attacked and controlled by either fanboys or haters, or both. To be honest, I have come to the conclusion, it is what it is.

Thanks for your honesty. Get ready to be lynched. Hopefully a mod will lock or delete the topic, otherwise I see 9 pages of "fuck you" in your future.

OP- Private Hive. Less headaches, less hassles, more control.

Ditto

This

im fact ill tell you where my camp is and you can have whatever you want

Ill give you the NVG and Ghillie

you guys never noticed that before?

Playable? Meh, yes and no. It all depends on what you expect to get out of it these days. My 3 friends haven't played in weeks, I have only logged on here and there. For us its a combination of things, the hacking, the lack of content, nothing really to do to be honest. The game is an oxymoron, it offers a lot but not much at all. So I wait for updates, seeing if issue will be fixed or things added. Wait for the standalone and see what that offers. But generally speaking, all the issues have gotten old and the game rather stale.

Tact Ops, Americas Army 1&2, OFP, ARMA, COD 2, CSS

You need to get laid. Just saying.

I'll believe it when I see.

not that i do it, but what else do you want people to do?

this does look good. the first one was pretty cool, had it for the com 64. it was pretty ahead of its time actually.

oh wow an AS50, to bad everyone has one, if not more.

I agree, but I don't care to be honest. I have lost enough shit for a litany of bullshit reasons that I have no moral conflict with looting a hacker. Besides usually after I kill a hacker and take his gear I am teleported into the ocean within 5 minutes, so it is kind of a wash.

In theory you are correct. But what kind of game can be built from the inside out in a matter of a month or two, thats worth a shit? The "stand alone" seems more like a supported mod, that will also be in Alpha. I highly suspect the majority of the issues we have now will be present in the standalone, I hope I am wrong.

Sorry but 10 is too much for an alpha in my opinion, especially with the issues the mod has had.

PMC is an expansion pack. Private Military Company.
