Any time Nak. I'm always around. Would like to see how well you do in a 1 hit server too.. I might actually have to break out my C4 med and change some of my TDM maps up into DM. Don't know if you ever flown in the BOX. But indoor C4 at 1 hit. Don't get no better than that. LOL
Geez... makes me sound like an old geezer. Oh yeah... I am. I only get frustrated with C4 anymore.. the only flying I really enjoy is building structures, putting them in the game, putting on tunes and flying around thru obsticles...Originally Posted by RAB
Right now, I'm kinda in a php, apache and sql phase right now.. playing any game (or modeling) is on the backburner at the moment.

Anyway... To Everyone... Please quit mentioning squad names here - whether it be in defense or in what you may consider a clever way. Lets stop the accusations. C4 is a great game... a very enjoyable diversion. Anyone taking it seriously enough to cheat others really sucks IMHO.
Novalogic has forums and a place to report cheaters. Take your issues there. I deal with enough people's 'issues' in my personal life.. I'm not doing it here too. Oh yeah... have fun with their moderators.
Hello everyone,
This thread has been followed at our forums and I just wanted to say a few things. I, for one, can say that the connection DOES make a HUGE difference. I say this from experience because I played this game for years on dialup, and just last year went to 3Mbps DSL and saw a great improvement. Then a month ago, went to 5 Mbps DSL and saw yet another improvement. A few days ago, I switched again to 5Mbps Cable and yes, even more improvement. For the longest time, when on dialup, I will honestly admit that I was one of them that thought everyone had to be using cheats because of the things they were able to avoid and how easy they were able to kill me. But now having switched connections, (especially so many different types) I infact see how much easier it is to compete in this game.
I also do agree with the post above about the lag issue. I know from when I was on it, that dialup can cause some serious lag, but lets face it. Not everyone has the option of going to DSL or even Cable for that matter, and they deserve the right to enjoy this great game just like everyone else. I've seen instances where someone has been pretty verbal towards someone on dialup because of the lag they were causing. This was totally uncalled for. It's not that persons fault that DSL or Cable is not available in their area OR maybe even the fact that they can't afford to switch. I know in my area, DSL and Cable are quite pricey making it tuff for everyone to have the luxury of this. But that does not mean that they should be denied the right to fly along side us.
We all know there are some out there using cheats, we cannot deny any of that. As to the number of who are using them, we will never know the truth. We could sit here for hours on end debating on who is using them and what kind of cheats they are using but it will not get us anywhere except to piss a few people off and not solve a thing. We've already seen some great pilots like Rab leave the game and I'd really hate to see the game lose more. I agree with Blue. Those that take it seriously enough to cheat others, really suck and they will probably not be happy until they have totally destroyed this game. I've stated before in another thread somewhere, have you EVER seen a game that when tragedy strikes one of it's players, that everyone comes together to give their support the way everyone does in C4?? I sure haven't and that's one of the things I find respectable about this game and those that are a part of it.
Before finishing, I would just like to add: Many seem to be losing focus on what this game is all about, and that's FUN!!! It's not a place where one can go, apply his cheats and whoop all the rest. It's not place to go and do name calling and verbally attack someone. It IS a place for many to go, from all different countries, have FUN together, enjoy some laughs, and enjoy the friendship that many of us know that this game has to offer. I have met some great people by playing this game and have had some great laughs along the way. One of the people that come to mind when I think of those times, is Reddraco (spelling??) He's the type of pilot that helps keep the FUN and laughter in the game. If more and more of us would concentrate on that part of the game, there would be no need for threads like this one.
Remember, it's all about FUN!!! Lets do all we can to keep it that way!!!
Sorry for being so long winded!!
LOL Not trying to make you seem old(even if you are). But unfortunatly I'm kind a on the slow side. I got into the game. Alot of the people that were in the game had already left by the time I arrived. The copy of C4 I bought was V.2.0 and on the $9.99 shelf at most stores that still had it in stock. But from what I've heard it would have been alot a fun playing back when the game was new.
And MagicMan, I remember when you were on dial up. And I've played against you since you've upgraded your connection. Comparing the two I can honestly say I could put up with you thinking I might cheat to avoid the beatings I've recieved since the upgrade.
For awhile I had a trail connection of 10 meg down 1 meg ( cable)up for a period of one month, stingers hunted great man. But a $ 100 bucks a month NOT. When I did some speed tests the numbers I got where around 9600 down, 980 up.Would have made a great server huh rab.
LOL Ask Nak about that. If I remember corectly he mentioned the up and down speeds of his C4 League server at one time. I think he had you by a byte or two there. I'll tell you what will be nice though. When they have fiber optic cable runing straight to the house. Now that will be sweet. Internet at the speed of light. Well maybe not. But the draw back there is the cost. There running fiber optic on alot of new housing around here. If you considered $100 a month to much for a 10 meg then I don't think you would spring for a new house to get fiber optic.
yeah, lol, well too bad that connection doesnt come to my house, its at a rack room somewhere where only servers dare to tread lol.
