And Jeff is Ohsu on here, lol.

although i haven't seen him post here too often anymore

Yeah, he isn't active as much on here.  Neither am I, lol.

You guys should play Melty, btw. 

Anyone checked out Evo2k.com?  What's this whole thing with the Username and Password?  They haven't released anything out yet? D:

i play MB on a casual basis. got decent w/Len and Kohaku, but i never really got serious about it. i'm still more of a GG-head, after all.  ::)

and as far as the website goes...er...i dunno? maybe the username/pw thing is so only the designers can go in?

Hey, shotguns are fun as all hell! Especially in Vacant, where there are a bunch of straight hallways and corner battles galore! Matter of fact, I have a custom class for that map alone! W1200/M1911 .45, with Grip, Sleight of Hand, and Last Stand! Quick reloading w/a shotty pays off A LOT. ;D

[CoD4 is way to easy game to be good at anyway(thats why I dont play it).]

wtf is dolphin diving?

elaborate why bunny hopping and dolphin diving would be banned?

You can't bunny hop in CoD4. However you can jump around like an idiot every chance you get making you harder to hit. Doesn't promote skill. Just the ability to spam a trigger or mouse key while pressing another button over and over.

Dolphin diving is coined from BF2 where it made you almost impossible to hit for a few seconds when you combined sprint with prone. The term applies to someone who over uses prone. That's it. If you have one guy using prone for his sniper shots, to hide, etc, great. If you have another who is combining sprint with prone constantly, thus making him an all but impossible target, it's shady and cheap and again does not at ALL promote skill. If you want it to be "anything to win, then by all means, allow it and grenade launchers.

You'll have more people walking away then playing.

I don't see how this "bunny hoping" is cheap.
Its a perfectly legit thing to do and any smart player will do the same.

Oh, lawd...

I won't gas the flame, but...it all depends on what you define to be "good". Playing tactically is pretty damn difficult to do, especially when you're playing with random people online who for the most part either, IMO, run and gun or camp; one or the other. Organized flanking and whatnot doesn't happen too often unless everyone on your online team has a mic and is actually willing to play with tactics and whatnot. But I digress.

Well in the First game I ever played in CoD4 I went 30 and 3.
I never played with people I know because we all find it WAY to easy to win, which becomes boring.
I do have to note that I DO come from the Hardcore ideals of the Halo Community and that we ARE perfectionist
so when I so into a game that takes only a headshot to kill someone, I consider it easy
Not to Offend CoD4 Fans

Oh and I define Good as a combination of skill and teamwork

I'd like to say that playing online isn't really a measure of where the game's difficulty stands where it's a mixed pool of FPS pros and joes alike. I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say the joes greatly outnumber the pros (excuse the Spike reference, I suck at analogies). Most of the people seem to see TDM and like matches as FFA's with half of the people with the inability to shoot you. You may be a good player, but that could only be in comparison to those you play with. Note the "could", I'm not saying where you stand on your own as a player. Just stating possibilities.

What I'm saying is, you can't judge a game based on how people play it. I have my opinions about Halo, but I won't get into them here, as this thread is about CoD4.

i heard they may not be bringing GG around anymore because it's not getting the same hype the other games are getting.

dustloop speculation. i don't know for sure.

Most rules I've seen include classic mode with the ability to unlock while playing, no grenade launchers, no excessive jumping and absolutely no abuse of prone.

From there you have to figure out time, points, teams and maps.

Some other sources I've seen:

http://www.gamearena.com.au/competitions/call-of-duty-4/rules.php

http://www.xleague.tv/Tournament/TournamentInfo.aspx?TournamentId=22 - tourney rules are about halfway down the page.

huh...that's odd.

with the exception of no grenade launchers (which i'm not really for despite the fact i don't use them myself), i haven't seen the denial of using excessive jumping (bunny hopping) or going prone in any of the links you've provided. maybe i missed them; if you could point them out i would be grateful.

b-hopping doesn't really bother me all that much as it slows down the player upon landing, making for an easier kill.

denying a player to go prone, on the other hand, is rather absurd IMO. during "red-screens", going prone is one of my first tactics to employ during recovery.

i can see how rules would be a problem.

choosing a game mode shouldn't be so bad. i assume "Search and Destroy" would be the most popular w/it's CounterStrike-esque gameplay.

but then there's the whole custom-class deal. narrowing the weapons down to the 5 default classes would be kind of boring. on the other hand, it would make it more skill-based than perk-based.

and yeah...it's been established that a platform MUST be decided upon.

How about a Hokuto No Ken tournament?

You mean a Toki tournament?

Fist of the North Star Tournament.

You obviously did not get the joke -_-.

explain, i dont get it either :)

based on the implication Pyron provided and a certain video on youtube i saw (whether that video holds any merit is beyond me; i never-ever touch HnK), Toki is a broken character.

in any case, i second that GGAC tourney if this is the right place to do so

Valentines day?  Yeah.  This will be my 32nd Valentines day in a row that I am SINGLE.  That's every single Valentines day in my life with no one to call my own.  It's a new pathetic record.   

Does it suck?  Heck yeah!  Am I going to make a huge deal about it?  I try not to.  Will I curl up with a candy bar and some stupid movie on Thursday to hide from the world of love outside my window?  You bet. 

Aside from that I give the people in my office a small gift and try to keep the kids at school from going into sugar shock too early in the day.  There's nothing like the combination of too much sugar, cards and hurt feelings to make Valentines day something SPECIAL in an elementary school.  lol.

gimme a couple years. i'll top that high score.

interesting, to say the least...

i'd be up for it, albeit i'm a bit shy :-\

So is this gonna be like American Gladiators?

if theres spandex. i quit

if there's spandex, i'm down!  ;D

felt it here at the Daly City/SF Border. the epicenter was right off the coast of Pacifica, so i'm not too surprised that it didn't hit SJ. i was awake already, so i felt it pretty good. jeez...i'm so glad i don't live on the top floor of my building anymore

that Pats coach was not happy. he stormed the field after that conversion didn't go his way. then he left. talk about passion.

that makes sense. the "bare-bones"-iness of a fighter is what makes it a good game, after all. "OMG LIGHTS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS AND SUPER MEGA ULTRA COMBOS" comes second.

okay, gonna turn things a bit negative here, but i just watched a hentai i hate.

and i dont mean that as in "oh, yeah...i hated that one". i mean this hentai actually infuriated me.

"True Blue".

without saying too much, the ending made me want to find someone deserving a punch in the face...and punch him in the face. srsly. how the hell did hentai do that to me?

i don't know if i should give credit to whoever wrote the story to it or if i should kick 'em square in the nuts.

roasted green peas.

it's like crack to me. green, spherical crack.

I guess Slayer and Bridget are being used pretty widely now lol. I remember being one of the only Bridget players and picking Slayer lol. Bridget is hard to use but is so sick, Slayer is just..... pimp. I basically swear by the arcade stick by the way and can't use the controller because I suck with it lol.

wow...talk about opposite end of the spectrum. :D

i'm a total d-pad head. i cant even 236236 on a stick; a good 60% of the time a 623 is all that comes out. i use buri as a secondary. nowhere near as good as my jam. most of the time i just try to 2D > 6H > 236H pressure w/an IAD 2S (probably not my best option) here and there. to be honest, most of my game w/bridget is building tension for (yo-yo)632146H.

slayer, on the other hand...i barely touch that fool. i can't. especially now w/that FB uppercut thing? ugh...

we've had a T5:DR cabinet at e-gaming for the past two years, so i'm willing to bet it'll be back for the hat trick (although if i'm not mistaken, one of the buttons had pretty bad responsiveness; with any luck it was fixed since then)

waaaaaahhh! SJSU stole my /\C cabinet!

...from SFSU.
