Speedmetal! Oh the joy! /sarcasm

Post by Drone_Fragger »

please excuse the language, BUT STOP MAKING SPEEDMETAL MAPS DAMN YOU. IT TEACHES NOTHING BUT SHITTY STRATS, LAMENESS AND GENERAL CRAPPYNESS. SERIOUSLY, I'VE HAD MY LAST 3 GAMES RUINED BY NOOBS WHO PLAY NOTHING BUT SPEED-FUCKING-METAL, WHO TRY TO RUSH 3 TECHS AT ONCE, PORC LIKE SHIT AND THEN WHINGE WHEN THEY GET KILLED BEFORE THEY HAVE 20 KROGS.

Thankyou.

I don't play it, But other people do, because they are "training", But then when they play A real game, Versus people of (occasionally) A lower rank, They just lose, Bitch about why they aren't winning from rushing krogs and other stupid tactics.

I don't think you can blame shoddy players on Speedmetal, sure it emphasizes different strategies, but overall I find that good players usually excel no matter what map they play on.

However, if you've never played anything *but* speedmetal, it's a different story. :shock:

I remember some guy saying that all maps should be metal maps because it's only fair for everyone to have enough metal. >_>

The amount of high ranking truly terrible players (in terms of skill and mod/engine knowledge) is astounding, how can you play for a hundred hours and not learn about how to line up units, or use the metal maker AI?

Thats my point, ~yesterday, i had a game, Ruined by someone called AAp, Who had played for at least 50 hours. He was A BLOODEY SPEEDMETAL PLAYER, WHO TRIED TO RUSH 3 TECHS AT ONCE AND BUILD MULTIMEXXES EVERYWHERE. WE LOST BECAUSE OF HIM.

Just played a 3v3 on Speedmetal Duo.
It was more like Doom Metal.
Think Black Sabbath.
Only slower.
And less fun 8)

Sure, sometimes there is lag in other games too, but here it is bound to run at 0.002 speed.
Maybe all Speedmetal players are stoned or something so they dont notice.

In the beginning I thought Ok, I'll have some fun, maybe try to build a buzzsaw in the middle or something. But if the teams are somewhat even, this is impossible.

In the end NOTHING will work: Bombers fail against three lines of flak+long range missle thingy, ground forces are nuked or blocked by even more Krogoths.
So the game ended with one team basically giving up and the game getting sync errors when the first enemy Krogi was about to enter the base.

I think some of maddox's wisdom is appropriate here:

Seven sixteenths of one inch:

That's the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot. I know the burden of pressing shift to capitalize is a great one, but c'mon, you can do better than that. I used to type emails in caps like yours, but then I decided that I didn't want a job mixing concrete.

...

If you dont like it dont play it! Speed metal is a fun map. Nobody cares if its got "strategy," its a metal map! Very few metal maps have strategy.

Hell, i dont even play this map. I still dont go around flaming people. Just let them play the game. Goddamn.
