Marked on You

Here is my first installment of, “Marked on You” as I will begin a new section on CF, just on my behalf, to criticize/praise/discuss different topics on the game and forum as a whole. My first topic will first talk about perhaps one of the biggest issues regarding the community and fans as a whole. If it is a “Mark on you”, I suggest you pay attention and take into consideration I put forth to better our community and game-play experience.


To be or not to be-r, that is the question.

Most of you tell me that you hate "BR's". Most of you tell me you want to ban them. Even some of you tell me that too many of them hack, and if we "IP ban them", we can rid ourselves of tons of hackers. But NONE of you have ever told me that it is okay to have them on the North American servers, regardless of the ping difference. Here is some of my criticism of some of "you", and some reasons as to why we, as a collective community, stop flaming the Brazilian players.

Many of you have the luxury of living close to the NA and UK Servers. Many of you abuse that privilege by constantly cursing down those who live further away, and that they might have a slight affect to the smoothness of gameplay.

Example…
NA Player1: Damn you stupid BRs!!! Uninstall CF, I hope you get IP BANNED! You noobs.
South American Player1:? What did we do (Translation)?
NA Player1: You don’t ever die! And all of you hack!

What it means:
NA Player1 is obviously an arrogant guy. If he did not like to play with South American players, he should hold his own rooms with his friends and play competitively outside of pub games. One of the biggest criticism I have is, NOT ALL SOUTH AMERICAN PLAYERS ARE BRAZILIANS!

What good does it do to tell them that they suck because they got “noob ping”? I want to challenge you guys by asking you, what if we did not have CF North America? What if all the CF games are based in China, Korea, and Vietnam only? Let’s say CF China is the only version that allowed outside IP addresses to access their servers. Would you want to play? Can you resist? What if the Chinese players asked to remove USA/CANADA IPs? Or EURO IPs? What if you’re the “laughing stock” of the community, where you know no Chinese, and tons of you spoke English in their servers? You see, you won’t know until it has happened to you, and until you do, most of you will keep on flaming the BRs (and South American players). It needs to stop, here and now. Period.

On a side note, if you take this game seriously, as most of you I presume, should it not matter that South American players want to take it seriously as well? The servers are going to stay right where they are, and there does not appear to be a server going to South America for the short time being (as far as I heard). I am more than sure most of the South American players would play in a server that reduces their ping and get away from all this nonsense.

Back off of them and just play the game. I am sure most of the CF MODs and GMs would like to see an end to this, but it does not start with them, it starts with YOU. If you can’t do that, go buy a PS3 or Xbox 360 and play Modern Warfare versus the computer or something, this is the internet, a free first person shooter, for everyone who can access it, to play.

Analogy of the Segment(AOS): If you choose to date or marry a person outside of your race and your parents told you that you can’t, how would it make you feel? It is the same as telling South American players that they can’t play in a “North American” server when they know they have the right to.

To conclude this segment of “Marked on You”(MoY), if you are marked by what I am saying, please consider it and stop flaming the South American players. It is not their fault that their countries do not support games such as Crossfire. I hope this reverses some of your guy’s actions and truly learn how to respect this game and the community.

*Please give suggestions for the next segment of “Marked on You” and I will give my honest opinon. Post down below. Please keep comments on topic and please refrain from pointless comments.

FIRST SEGMENT NOTES****
-You may or may not agree with me, again, this is just my opinion
-I am not here to start problems, arguments or wars, I am simply voicing my opinions to try to help the community from within and from without the game
-If you think this is a long read, don’t read it, if you don’t understand this read, then you shouldn’t be allowed to voice your own opinions, because maybe YOU are the cause of all issues that includes this topic
-If this just flat out sucks, I will no longer continue writing this.
-I do not know how to make fancy colored fonts or what-not, so just bear with me for a few days until I figure out how to do those things
