I was being sarcastic, pointing out that that was what YOU guys were basically saying. Do you know what sarcasm is? I provided a link somewhere in this topic that will tell you the dictionary definition of it.

Hur Hur Hur. This is the internet dumbass, Text looks the same wherever its meant to be sarcastic or not.

This is a solution to people having to use those things to prevent com bombs! It, unlike those, will not degrade the game in any way! There is no legit reason to have your com blowing up in the enemy's base, so preventing that doesn't hamper any legit players gameplay! Where as limiting d-gun to start location and com die ends game, DOES! This is a solution to that! It isn't a HUGE HUGE problem, but it wouldn't be very hard to implement the fix, either!

It takes time, strength and a shitload of coffe to program something "as simple" as a couple Checkboxes. Don't think this is made bye a crackteam of f higly trained programmers, this is mostly a team of 6 or so regular programmers that is likely still in collage. They are kind enougth to spend their freetime working on a free project without pay, insurance or dental.

And there are atleast a thousand more important things to do then add more options for pepole who think the com is cheaty.

You are the one who is bitching, and I'm not making anyone do anything. I would fix it if I knew c++ but I don't.

I'm fed up with your whinging. Even the OTA staff said Combombing wasa legit tactic. Your arguement is now flawed. Go away.

Well I am fed up with YOUR "whining". I made this thread with a perfectlly valid point and all you people have done is flame me without reason or logic, you have no right to be crushing my ideas just like I would have no right to go up to someone and say there map sucks ass which is basically what you are doing to my idea. This is my concept and my topic, so:

Go away.

theres been logic behind most of our posts and your posts.

the thing is - this has prolly been discussed about 46million times since OTA first came out, the fact the game hasnt changed one bit. says that theres nothing wrong 1 bit in how chris invisioned this game being played, yes some people dont like it and want it changed.
but the people who like it/dont mind it always out weight the people who dont like it. so in that spirit - just accept it.

all your suggestions are summed up in the 2nd post on this thread, just let it be

Actually, it would. Nothing is simple to implement.

As for no logic, all your detractors on this thread have backed up their arguments with facts. You've backed yours up with... Let's see... Ah, yes, sarcasm. Huh.

So there never needs to be any more bug fixes or patches or anything, it is totally perfect and completed, no more work needs to be done on it.

All of your arguments against my idea have also been summed up very early and are just being repeated as well.

Drone_Fragger · Post by **Drone_Fragger** » 10 Apr 2006, 21:11

2 things:

1. I'm perfectly happy to going up to a map maker and saying his map sucks ass. Namely any map that actually does suck ass. (Speedmetal, That Awful NS map called Birdflight, And NS Map involving the word "Fall")

Infact, Whoever made speedmetal should die. The map maker should be ashamed and go kill himslef for releaseing that vile creation upon this world.

2. Words fomr the BAckup Cavedog website:

Commander Jihad

In games that continue even if the Commander is destroyed, you can use your Commander's destruction to get lots of bang for your buck. While the Commander is a powerful unit, you can trade it for a lot of pain on the enemy side.

This tactic has two options: either run your Commander into the enemy base or fly him in using a transport. Hit Ctrl-D and watch the boom. Note that if your enemy has lots of air defense up, you might not be able to get in on a transport.

Even later in the game, this tactic can be used to make a hole in the enemy defensive lines for other units to follow.

Actually, the company was bought out by Atari you dumb shit, So no morew patches could be made.

Yet more flaws in the arguement.

Wow. At first I thought you were a kind person and not a typical, rude, hateful person. You've just proved me wrong.

Did you read the post? I guess not. Seeing as I even said i'll only go up to a map maker and say his map sucks ass if it actually does.

Um.. what the FUCK?

What the hell does any of this have to do with Atari?

Last time I checked TA:Springs wasn't made by Atari?

Remeber this? I bolded and underlined the parts you sadid and agreed with. You can't just quote something and then go on about something differant.

Sorry, we must be talking about two differant things. I was refering to TA:SPRINGS

Ever heard of it?
