Over my long and seasoned existence in the Unreal universe i've noticed that alot of people come to UT, play it for a little while and then find a nice groove to ehct themselves in and stay there. And i have no problem with that, i mean you play the game the way you want to, hell you paid for it. But i really think alot of people are cheating themselves out of a great overall experience when they just limit themselve to just one mode. Ever since i picked ut3 up i would just make a rotation and play all the modes a few games at a time. And i enjoyed that way, so it kept me from getting to burnt out on just one mode. And if there was no one playing Warfare at the time, well i would just go and do some CTF or TDM. So i'd never run out of fun.
But its kinda sad that some people will come on and if no one is play CTF well they just out and just go and do something else. Yet theres a ****load of people playing vCTF yet this individual refuses to play the mode because its not his/her ''Mode''. Now i know people tend to play the Modes that they are best at but i think your cheating yourself out of all the stuff Unreal has to offer. The more people that have that attitude the more divide the community becomes and the more it will dwindle down. And the last thing Unreal needs is a smaller community. And it kinda ****** me off when some players think that these ''other'' modes are lesser modes. And anyone who thinks that way is ****ing pathetic. Each mode takes different strategies/tatics/skills to be succesful at them. And if people just keep rooting themselves in one mode the community will just get boreing and dull. The more a clan branches out the healthier it is for the community. And its not a good sign when you have to hunt other clans down just to get them to play a match with you. And when people say ''oh well i do not play that mode, your mode ****, my mode takes more skill bla bla bla'' you sir, are a ****ing punk. its cool playing the mode your best at, but to turn around and say ''oh your mode simple and easy'' or ''it doesn't require as much skill as my mode'' is ****ing pathetic.
I mean whats the problem? You play two of this mode and two of that mode. And everyone will be happy, **** the tiebreaker. Not like the matches will go on a **** record book, People are so ****ing scared to branch out into other modes. If you lose, or your getting your *** handed to you that means its a oppurtunity to learn something and BECOME a BETTER player. If your winning all the time then your not learnin much and in turn may become worse. **** ill take a loss, in any mode. Because if i lose that means theres still room to improve myself.
Another thing i would like to bring up relating to this topic is if people have their ''modes''. Then why won't they play you on any map if its ''their mode''.
For Exampe i am in Quake Marines are main mode is TDM, and CTF is our secondary.
If we challenge a vCTF based clan. We make the deal ''ok you chose two maps of our modes, we will choose two maps from your mode. '' So ok we decided Kargo and Containment. The other team decides Morbias and Biohazard.
The opposing clan says ''omg no way we don't even touch kargo, screw that theres no way we will face you in kargo''
My clan says ''lol wtf Morbias? Thats a rocket spamfest''
Then **** hits the fan and everyone talks **** and on and on it goes.
From my perspective morbias is infact a spamfest, people just stand still and hold down the secondary, release and hope to god to kill someone.
And so the opposing clans says that oh wll ''Kargo'' is alot of on foot or ''you have to go in on foot to recieve the flag'' So even though the map has vehicles, plenty of powerups and places to hide and all kind of ****. They won't play that map.
So ok let me get this straight, if a clan has a ''mode'' their best at. Won't they challenge us to specific maps? Sound to me it ain't a clans best mode if they only will ply selected maps.
And im sure people will tell me about Morbias, and yea you can throw it back at me . And say well ''tdm is your mode''. Yea it is, and yea i will still head up the challenge. But IMO Morbias is about as skilled a flipping a coin for heads or tails.
But this can be use in context to any other modes. It just gets tireing of hearing people making up more and more excuses instead of finding solutions.
So i propose why not when a clan decides to challenge another, lets just have Clan A pick 1 map from there mode, and 1 from of Clan B mode. And Clan B pick 1 map from their mode, and 1 map from the Clan A. So atleast theres some sort of agreement. And **** the tiebreaker map, that only causes more ****.
So by God lets all ****ing sattle up and ****ing have some **** clan matches and stop making **** excuses. Im not choosing sides im speaking out to EVERYONE. Yes including my clan (and they should already know this by now). I surely as **** do not want the Unreal series to die out, but if the community keeps repeating history over and over again you will find yourselfs out of a match to play.
Yea i want the community to get more people but it all starts with us. Lets not be stuck up all the **** time and just go toe to toe. My clanmates my not share the same idea as i do, and im sure im going to be stepping on alot of peoples toes after posting this. But i'd rather make an effort to be part of the solution instead of setting on my *** being part of the problem.
