I Quit

[RAB]

I started playing C4 some 2 1/2 years ago. Was a great game back then. When you went into a server it was to play with other people the loved to play the game. Nobody really cared who was on top at the end of the game. You just played cause you enjoyed it. Sorry to say that has changed drasticly now. Most people I see now are just worried about winning. I don't know how many times I see people drop out of a game when its close to the end when they're at the bottom of the list. Sudden video or sound problems that never effect them in a winning game. Now days it seems camping and base raping is the preferred tactics. Never found much fun in sitting behind a hill and popping up to fire and drop back down. When it becomes the standard to do that GEE won't it be fun. Everybody sitting behind there own little hill for 15 minutes while the map ends just wondering where everybody else is at. Well in my opinion yall can have the hill all to yourself along with the rest of the game. I'm tired of all the BS that has come with it. I talked to someone not long ago that can fly 9999H and slip past the 8HAP. Now there a new worry for the rest of yall to deal with. By the way Avenger thats done in the .DEF files. Don't know if you can find a fix for it but wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to try. Seems like every time someone does something good for the game theres someone else right behind em working another way around the rules. Well to the vetran pilots that taught me so much when I started playing. I'd like to say thank you for the many hours of fun. To the others that just want to win. Well I don't have much to say to yall except goodbye.

As for the pilots that leave with me. I've flown as many and will list a few.
LT Griffon, G O D, TheGrimReefer, Vinnie, PingusKahn, Glen, UnclePervy, Benny. Oh and some might have known me as just R~A~B.

nooooooooooooooo don't go rab ! come back and play in the league, bro !! This season has been 99.9% whiner free ! In fact, last weekend we started an allstars thing where 1 or 2 guys from each squad play in a 2 team TDM, and we all get on TS and yak - we had a great time, and plan on continuing it. All the league squads have been behaving themselves, and we've even been playing some matches without any host manager/ae at all because the squads actually have started trusting each other, and have started to realize that its for the fun of the game that we play ! The issues in open servers are unfortunate, but the game in the league is still clean - come back and play with us dude ! I always enjoyed playing with you, and you will be sorely missed if you leave us, man !

-truly bummed,

Yo Bud, you sit where many of us have been over the last few years. Thats why so few play. When the game stops being fun it's time to take a break and do some thing else.

There will aways be players that glitch, cheat and play in a manner that is unsportsmen like. When you run a server as much as you have , You just see more of it.

Some times the best thing you can do is put up a small server and play with like minded players. We have BF2 to look at and BHD is still fun. C4 will take on a new look when you play with friends in a closed server.

All in all C4 is just about dead any way, On the bright side you had hours of fun, learned to make maps, helped new players learn the game and made new friends.

LOL besides we can always open a server play some version 1.5 at one hit.

hey RAB,
i understand, that you are sick. why don't you sign up as substitute in the Comanche4 League. league matches are still fun, they are

'guaranteed 100% BS-free'


actually i do not know anyone who wouldn't miss playing with ya.
C4 is more than only the game itself, it's us who know each other for a long time and most of us do not only play Comanche4.
you'll find everywhere in every game as..oles, nothing easier than that, they are identified after the first couple of games you played with them.

i would be happy to know you'll be staying in the community.

btw
you plan on looking into bf2?

[RAB]

I tried BF2. I tried 1942, DC, DCX, Vietnam and POE. Sorry but did'nt much care for them. Figure I'll play BHD for a while. I know the map editer already so making maps is still an option there.

[Santa AkA SoDam]

OMG RAB!! This is a sad day for all of us and C4 as a whole i dont want to belive it

Its such a shame that you have let a few of the worst spoil one of the best You dont have to quit C4 totally though League play is the only way to play C4 nowadays i think i need a drink

I wont miss you bro because i hope to see you on TS2 im a bit lost for words really

hope to see you soon!!

[JJG43]

I guess I was one of the dudes who was hounding ya to try 1942/dc, and you tried it.Ok now I'am going to go out on a limb here with this statement,
" You did it on your own?". I couple times I smashed my desktop with my fists when those more experinced players spawn/based rape with out mercy,BUT
I'am getting at them back the odd time now Slowly learning the way to play this type of game

I know you said you never really cared much for first person shooter types game RAB,ok np man.
You gotta have fun at this stuff ( online gaming), hope you get it back with BHD
Hope your not going to QUIT the friends that you have made in C4 tho??
hope you remember the KA7 teamspeak server too RAB.

RAB:

You are the only reason I am playing this game now. I remember when I logged on for the first time as a Griffon. I had never played an online game before and I was getting the crap knocked out of me. You reached out to me and invited me into a server and showed me the basics of flying. I was so frustrated right then I was going to quit and I know I would not have returned. I have seen you do the same thing with many other Griffons also.

Since then you have helped me when my PC melted down, setting up my router, js configs, setting up ts, pc settings, disguising my family pc as a server lol and that just what I can remember off of the top of my head.

Thank you for your freindship and all of your help over the past year. I would ask that you reconsider quiting. You have been and are one of the finest people I know in the gaming community and I would truly hate to see you leave.

Sincerely,

Snake

JJ I really dont know about you and your friend situation. But with me, True I have quite a few friends out there, But I never consider myself lucky enough or have enough friends to afford to loose the ones I've made. When I first started flying with KA7 in the 1st C4League season. I consider that some of the best times Ive had playing the game. I considered myself a pretty good pilot at the time. But the things I learned while flying with KA7 improved my game more than I can think of. All the time spent just BSing on the vent server were just as fun if not more than the time we spent in the game. I consider myself lucky to be apart of the KA7 history and to have all of yal as my friends. Sorry bud, You stuck with me now. If you like you can warn the rest of the guys too. I might not be around as much but Im never really that far away either.

Well I hope you know Snake it the people and pilots in C4 like yourself thats kept me in the game as long as I have. This wasnt some spur of the moment descision I made. The problems I see have been here for a while and are progressivly getting worse. Helping the new players in the game was just my way of repaying the vetrans that helped me when I started playing. The way I see it. If you help the new players, teach them as much as you can, then when you come against em later you know you have a good game ahead of you. I like the game for the challenge of the fight. Thats seems to be what is lost now. Its not people playing against each other anymore. Its people playing against the scoreboard now. Was flying in my server a while back, maybe 4 or 5 minutes into the game another player informed me that he was in my seat. I bet after every kill he made he would hit the K key to see if he had taken 1st place from me yet. The scoreing is great at the end of a game to let you know how you did. But I never considered it a vital part of the game play to need to check it every kill to see where I am on the list. Top middle or dead last. As long as your having fun it really doesnt matter. And remember I still have the same e mail and IM. You got any questions or problems come up you need some help with. Well you know where to find me. You can bet if theres something I need and your the one that can help. Ill be calling on you quick. Thats what friends do for each other. LOL just like I said to JJ. Sorry man, You stuck with me now.

[Santa AkA SoDam]

Well i for one am glad im stuck with you R~A~B lol

[HotShotFWP]

RAB:

So you were GOD LOL!

Will miss you man. But if youre ever around, dont forget to say hi to me. I'm gona try to save and get BF2. Maybe will see you there someday if you change your mind. Anyway, with you and your server gone, another nice part of C4 has gone with you.

Farewell, ole good guy that you are.

[VENTURA{FWD}]

I'm really saddened to hear you won’t be around anymore Rab. Will miss flying with/against you. You are the type opponent that helps push my game just a little further ….resulting in: that I sometimes try to smash my joystick thru the desk …. What makes this game really kick ass fun to play. Yes it does lol

LMFAO
You are vinnie!!!
I wanted to ask him to join fwd some time ago but never saw him again
I was already thinking that guy left the c4 community (now he did).

I wish you the best of luck r-a-b and hope to see you COMMING back in C4 someday.

Your friend and wingman

VENTURA

[OhNo]

Welcome to the quit club.... Somethings never change just takes longer to hit home. I know you will find a lot of fun in another game if you find the right folks to game with I did..

O}{NO

[RAB]

Yea I'm sure I will. It's just a shame though because I still think C4 is a great game. If you have the right crowd of people playing. I've been in the game long enough to have seen all the people that have left for pretty much the same reasons I have. Slowly but surely the C4 community is getting smaller and smaller and yet people don't understand why. Or I should say they don't want to understand. When you play a game like this it's suppossed to be fun for all the players in the game. I myself don't find much fun in having someone continually pop up from the same spot for a whole game to shoot passive. I also don't find much fun in sitting behind a hill just waiting for someone to fly my way just to get the chance to pop up for an easy kill. I play the game because I enjoy the challenge of coming against other players in the game. When everybody camps and does pop ups it takes away the main reason for playing the game. Not only for me but many others that used to play. As im posting this there are 11 people playing C4. Thats really pretty sad of an online multiplayer game. Think back even 6 months ago and there were 3 or 4 times that many people playing. Now just ask yourselves where did all the people go and why did they leave. Well I've been trying to tell people for a while now and nobody wants to listen. In another 6 months when there are only 4 or 5 people left in the game, Still nobody will want to admit it's because it's the way they play that has run all the other people away.

[N_E]

Sorry to hear about your leaving RAB, but truely understand your decision. I am just about to do the same I guess! Not playing C4 as much as I used to do. But still like playing it with friends.

I do not really agree with what you said about some players. Sure, the one or the other might whine, or not behave, or even cheat. But if you look at other games, then you will find a lot more players which do that.

The only thing which has allways p***** me o** is the fact, that some great guys from the community tried to find solutions to make C4 better, while Nova not cares s***!!!

I have already desided to move into a other arena. A arena where the manufacturer seems to worry about making the game better and not the community. Where they find solutions to fix problems with the software, hardware and even cheaters!

Take care and thanks for the fun I had flying with you, against you and in your server!
