    heres what I say: Screw game Guard. Screw X-Trap. The LEAST we should go for is PunkBuster, and if we want to be efficient, get Halo 3's anti-cheat. It bans your profile, it bans your XBOX serial, and it permanently bans your IP. In this case, we should get a system that perma bans your PC/Mac.
    Totaly agree with what you say here.Now days if hacker is baned he simply create a new account and countinue to hack and ruining game in a couple on min(the time it is requred to open a new account),but if Z8 bans his IP his mama must get him a new computer.Not so many kids can aford that.

    Metal... our mom got rap&d by a brazilian?
    lol guy... u a big hater kid, try pokemon.

    ugghh sad kid. grow up. any who, I fully agree that MAC ban should be in order. but I think we wont see any sort of ip banning or filtering for a while because Brazilians buy ZP. don't you guys remember when suba and earlier z8 wouldn't ban people who hacked because they bought ZP. i just have a feeling that we wont be saying good bye to Br's for a long time.
    and im sure all you people find it frustrating and annoying. but we can at least be respectful on the forums and get a good community together again so that the mods will listen to us again.
  • i play in west coast most of the time and i dont see many hack.ers, let alone many BR hack.ers. when it comes down to it, if you give an 15 yr old american kid an wall hack, he will be just as quick to using it as a 15 yr old BR kid. same goes for the UK kids, canadian kids and so on. the same concept applies for glitching. i think the main issue is as the thread creator mentioned, level of maturity. most kids, when they get killed, they automatically assume the person who killed them is hacking. without typing a 500 word argument, i will just conclude with that the best way to avoid all this excess biching is just to play in select servers and channels. like alpha 7 or west coast 1, avoid delta server

    my thoughts exactally! it might be helpful if they updated/upgraded the friend/ignore feature in the game, why you can't just right click on someone and add them to the ignore list I can't understand. There needs to be a way to make it easier for people to avoid players they don't want to game with for whatever reason they choose. Eventually the cheaters will be on lots of peoples list and those rooms either won't get many players or won't even have enough to start a match, and/or kick after the match finishes if they join after it starts. If there where better tools for players to keep track for our own personal reason of people we like and don't like it will give us a small feeling of control over whom we game with and hopefully make it more fun and give people better attitudes.

    Mom insults? That's pretty sad...
    I never said i hated Brs but i sure don't like em. Get a life. It's pretty sad insulting other people thru the internet.

    fully agree with you metal. i don't hate them per say. i just find them a nuisance.
  • I agree with that 2 make a no kick channel [laggers do not apply to this u can kick them], or choose 1 as it is... Alpha/7 it is totaly possible all we need 2 do is make a macro and repeat it 1 or 2 times every, and i do mean every, match, all who read this and agree with it i am begging 2 do so... i we allready started so u might as well join me cuz in the end we will have a "pure" channel. and if some1 comes and starts QQ ing blok his chat and thats it!!!

    we can do this so pls ppl make an effort...

    ty
  • br's happened.

    guess i should say BRS DONT SPEAK ENGLISH IN A NORTH AMERICAN BASED GAME. maybe if they spoke english, didnt glitch into every ****ing box/corner/w/e then i wouldnt have a problem with em.
  • br's happened.

    It's NOT just the Brazilians. I hate this attitude of this community. I am not Brazilian. 100% born and raised in Georgia, for the record.

    There are more than just Brazilians who cheat and lag. There are Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, British, European, YOU NAME IT. There is someone from somewhere who cheats and lags. You can not just blame it on them. You just can't. That is the sad mentality this community has taken on because it's easy to blame one group.

    The main problem is the "Shared Mentality" and overall attitude of this community. Once an idea comes out and a number of higher standing members agree with it, EVERYONE starts to agree with it and it becomes normal. Not to mention that the attitude and maturity of over half of the people in these forums is RIDICULOUS.

    People need to grow up and realize that this is not the end all, be all of your life. It's a game. Yes, it's great to have some seriousness and some competitiveness. But in the end, it is a game. Enjoy it a little bit. The problems that have arisen because of laggers/cheaters/spammers/immature people - That's not going to go away unless there is some help from the management of this game, i.e. Developers, GM's, MOD's, etc. Plain and simple.

    I realize your not a Br's lawl. he wasn't refering to you. me being 100% vermonter! woot. but i have no problem with american laggers. you see a while back i can't remember what country we semi banned and made a brand knew version just for them because all of them had 1000 ping. and it got as frustrating as playing with Brazilians. so subagames took care of it. it just seems that as soon as z8 games came about the br's joined and then the community went to ****.

    Yeah...i miss Suba :/

    They cared more for us. We even had that awesome Suba Profile xD

    A forum/community should be lively and helpful, not utterly rude and should be free of infinitesimal minds. There are people who do contribute greatly, and I thank them very much for making the world that much better of a place.
    Psh. That wouldn't happen.
    top players are so full of themselves and make fun of ppl,(not all, just most)Instead of trying to be helpful or give tips lolz. they think cf is real business. WELL GUESS WHAT, CF is a virtual game. you kill, you win, you get good, k now what? hm.

    if you take gaming too seriously, i feel sorry for you.
  • 6) "I'm better than everyone else, so I can be rude and ego-filled-to-the-top all I want."
    ^This is what I'm talkin about
  • Nice thread.

    I agree that's why I hardly post on this forum and lurk.

    Soooo true. It's not just the immature kids.
  • Hey, host here. If anyone read my thread, they know I don't play CF. But hey, I still care, because I may play in the future... if I don't get a Mac. Once again, the problem is only in part the brazilians and the young children. The major problems is how 99.99% of the community ASSUMES too much about other players. I have had my fair share of assumptions, but I do not state them. I simply see more of a player before I make a solid decision on whether to say F11 please or not. I have been kicked from GM for having invis ***... (BHOP gen 1 or 2... i forgot) I have been kicked for wallspamming every box/wall I see to be sure. Yeah, I am an ammo waster. (I don't use M60 lol.) I have been kicked for *chamming* AKA having my cheap apple earphones in to listen for noise. They auto assume, U *** iRpdV1 (yeah, some idiot spelled it like that.) THAT IS WHERE THE CROSSFIRE COMMUNITY IS SO BAD> ASSUMPTIONS.
  • Well, I'm sure almost everyone knows this. Brazilians. They used to be 5% of the population but now it's over 40 or 50. They kick pro people, they cry about our ping, they insult us using curse words in their language thinking it's cool, and they hack...a lot. In a few years CF is gonna go to sh.it because of them.

    exactly wat i was gonna say. brazilans are the 1's screwing this game up
  • exactly wat i was gonna say. brazilans are the 1's screwing this game up

    That's 70% of the reasons. The other 30% is made up of little kids. :]

    "24-2 that's not a hacking score?" that's what they always say >.<
  • seriously. well done for saying that. agree 200% :)

    and why do we say that there is a "KID USING SL HAHA NUB. GET A GOOD GUN "KID. fa.get"

    maybe he wants to use it, he likes to use it... just leave him alone, it's his choice. where is the tolerance?!
  • Hmm.. I never saw the old good community, because I joined Crossfire last summer.
    I have grown up between all the BR, QQers and stuff like that.
    This community where I'm a part of is good enough. Trolls/flames are just the black sheeps of the community, every community has at least a few. I don't know you, sir, but you seem kind to me, but you have to get used to it. It's not that hard to participate again. Ignore all the stupid topics/threads/trolls and see the good ones once in a while.
    Reconsider it. I really think so too that the community changed in a few years, but that's not the end of the world, nor the community. There are some black sheeps more, but we shall be happy with each other. Thus posting a thread like this, is the I-don't-know-how-much-we-are-now thread. You can leave the forums too, but that would be just running away from your feelings. Get used to the trolls/flames.

    I agree. Where is the tolerance? Where is the light ingame play? Where is the fun? The only people making money out of this game are Z8 employees. The players are to have fun. ISNT THAT THE POINT OF GAMES? TO HAVE FUN? Ever since pro gaming, the whole gaming community, not only the crossfire community, has become rude and adamant. I say stuff like MLG, ESL, WOGL, and other competitive leagues are to blame.
  • <read it .this is the truth.>

    ok. Closed beta/start of open beta. The community was amazing.

    Why? Because there was no zp items, no black market. People hate others because they have zp because they have kriss (now m12s) because they have spops and they haven't. Farmers: Farmers like adiga (clan prodigy now rawrrrr) ruined it... Now everyone hate others because they are different and they're better in different ways

    if everyone was equal this community would be much better.

    Nuff said.
  • sorry for the double post

    The trolls and flames will never leave, I agree. However, the community has the ability to silence them by ignoring them. Every time a troll or flame says something, there is a person responding, and thus sparks the *popcorn!!!* flame war.

    I agree with your statements. However, I think it could be taken one step further to the MODs and GMs. They can silent them a lot better than the community can, in a more permanent way. The management needs to get this community back under control. We can't do it by ourselves. There's no way.

    The community outnumbers the mods and gms by millions. It can be done without their help, but:

    1. No matter what, it will be extremely difficult.
    2. With the help of GMs and Mods, it will take less time.
    3. ... I don't know what my third point is.

    millions?
    gotta be 200,000 at the most.
    hell, 100,000 at the most.
  • we are messed up because we all think that when we are losing, everyone hacks. but you are very right. people make assumptions that the GR's hack when the BL get their azez wiped.

    very true story bro. i think it is very inspirational i and i have extreme respect for you. you rule m8.
  • I had a fairly long post, but I deleted it. I for one don't care for this either way. You may have thought this community was good at one point, but I even remember Suba times, and it was never even close to okay.
  • Yeah this community isn't in the millions quite yet. We can't do it without their help. Plain and simple. It's not possible without moderation.

    Honestly,

    I think the other issue is that in the end this game is a business to the management. They don't want to drive people away. By being the Moderators that enforce the rules every day, to every line and word, using temp and permanent bans like they should, people would leave this game. But what they don't seem to understand is: Yes at first people would leave this game and probably go play something else. But in the long-term, having a better controlled and professional community would bring in better players and a better community. It's that simple.
  • millions?
    gotta be 200,000 at the most.
    hell, 100,000 at the most.

    thanks for the correction, which i didn't know about. I took a guess. But still, that's a ton of people. Still influential enough. The community affects the decisions of the mods.

    Don't believe me? (This is asked in a polite, inquisitive way.)

    Back when there was no XM8, the community was screaming for the XM8, saying "WE WANT IT!!!" >>> Now look. We have 2 XM8's.
