Especially the Stalemate video suffers from having used FRAPS instead of the internal recorder as you often have like 4 fps...

Besides that I think the videos are good...

Because XTA was never all that good and the current dev team seems set on running it into the ground with poorly thought out BA like additions that aren't well implemented.

hope this helps

Naw. He has a valid point. You see, when he said xta wasnt very good, he was comparing it to something that was good. If he was comparing it to TA, then xta fails because xta isnt TA. Its something not many people grasp, that a ta game doesnt have to be 100 percent like TA to actually be a good game.

Probably through the 'accidents' he played while playing xta, expecting it to be like ta, he probably realized he had enough getting stung and that the mod wasnt worth trying to learn, or he gave up and came to the conclusion there were no solutions. Monkey.
