Two things come to my mind:

A) If you were a PC-player and have just recently moved to Mac, then it might be that you're not used to how Macs deal with mouses. It's not a whole lot of a difference, but when it comes to aiming, it truly makes a change. Advice: Move the sensibility of your mouse a tad down.

B) You might not be completely familiarized with how the weapons sights work. What you see in-game doesn't quite correspond to where the bullet actually goes. Most of the weapons, save a few snipers --namely the .50Cal, SVD and MOS-- and pistol, are slightly off and loose it towards bottom-left. Adivce: Aim slightly above and to the right of your opponent.

I understand you can control the negative effects of drugs, but you cannot get rid of them.

This is your only correct statement. The rest, well...this is a masses type of thing. I'm not arguing that drugs should be legal, nor that they are cool --neither the opposite. I'm simply opening information that is pretty much kept private for those who do take drugs. Most of the times, they simply have no clue what they are dealing with and act irresponsibly all together. No figures they end up in hospitals.

I may be a wee too liberal for most of people's taste here. I am completely responsible, though. I do not depend on drugs. I do not smoke weed (I seem not to like anymore!) and I am nothing near an alcoholic. I do smoke a medium of 5 cigarrettes a day, though.

I solely wish this conversation had been kept on even grounds; without this abruptly patronizing way of talking you (people that have not taken drugs) all seem to taken a liking to. It is as if you were implying direct superiority over those that do take drugs. There's simply no ground-fundaments to prove against or otherwise. We're all pathetic human beings anyhow.

Indeed Mister, an addiction is an addiction.

Being aware, however, plays a significant role in keeping this addiction at bay.

For instance, with coke:
- Never go a night without doing all the drug you bought. Why? Because by sleeping, waking up and sniffing another line, you'll be giving your body a cycle, one which you do not want to follow up.
- Have an interval of at least 15min between each line you sniff. That'll give your body's bloodstream time to complete a cycle. Preferreably, you should give about 30-45min before you do a second line.
- Make sure you've eaten before you take on the drugs. Also make sure you keep yourself hydrated. It's easy to forget how faster everything is going on on your body once you've taken these drugs. Again, awareness.


This is how you control yourself. Be being aware and responsible. That's all control is: A sum of awareness and resonsability.

It is not convincing either person...

 drugs are just bad...

  I have a very old friend of mine that was a bad father, scammer, hit his wife and kids, and never worried about their lives only himself, till he quitted doing drugs, hes been clean for about 12-13 years now. and he is a complete different person. now don't come here and try to convince me drugs are good or they altered your percepcion of things cos drugs just screw things up in your head.

  the first way of fixing any problems with yourself and others is juts accepting you got one.!

Post-Modern Consumerism is just bad. Alcohol is just bad. Diplomacy based on a highest end of a structured hierarchy is bad. Pretty soon, you will find out most of what our world is today is composed of 'bad' things, badly executed and badly controlled with a tremendous leap of information. The point being?

The point is that drugs, just like any other thing in our world, will always resume unhealthy is no information, control and right execution are had. I speak of experience --nearly 60% of my family has been addicted to alcohol, 80% have been addicted to some kind of drug and presently 50% still are. I've seen them at their worst just as I have at their best --with or without the effect of drugs. Some people change for better. Others for worse. For as much as our human consensus would love to pick on these specific cases and ground a general pattern to them, it just isn't doable.

I've drugged myself. I have posted as much in this community whilst in the effect of drugs as I have without. Coherence has never been issue, most certainly. My ideals have remained developing and healthy --That is because I very much like to control my liking to drugs, because I have read about each and every drug I've taken...because I'm aware and have myself that way. Most importantly, because I don't drug so I can escape into a fantasied world of my own --I'm not running away from anything, just having fun and enjoying the treats drugs may bring forth.

Your friend may have been unluck. Or your friend may have not been as responsible as I am. Don't take offense to any of what I am saying. Just be clear that drugs aren't the issue; the issue is how we, humans, behave with them and why we take them for. Just like any other thing in life. It all depends on how we deal with them.

I agree with Skrewy on a few aspects, although I'd just like to add something to the conversation.

Drugs can indeed be life-changing. Essentially, drugs make you reach different parts of your brain you wouldn't normally reach. These parts aren't accessed on a routine which in other words means they've not yet been established directional links to the conscious part of our brain --by not doing so, they open a new precedent. Suddenly, the value and importance you give to conscious facts you become aware of in life is rendered non-effecting to this newly accessed parts of your brain. This explains why sometimes a single trip can completely change the way you perceive A or B or even the way you think of yourself. It is because you have no way to measure value and affluence of said access established within your brain that you can judge.

Metaphorically, it'd be like dropping a cow from midair into a field with around 900+ and no one --not even the dogs-- would realize that's a cow and not a dog. They may know it's not a dog but they do not know that it isn't a dog either...thus, they're left with simply accepting it.


On the account of drugs, I'm on a hiatus. I'm 23 and have had huge fun with them. Mushrooms, Acids, Coke, Bloom and variables, Weed, MDs, you name it. It's been a good roll and it has indeed helped me reach a few perspectives I'd of not reached (at that given time and under those given circumstances of my life) otherwise.


P.S:. Yes, you can experience the "kick" drugs give you through meditation alone. In order to do that, you need to start training your brain on the unconscious level, though. A good way to start is giving 10min of your waking-up time out. In those 10min, force yourself to remember what is it that you dreamt and write it down or record it somewhere. Start decoding the native language of your dreams, of your creative creations. Once you've grasped how your brains projects, take a few steps back and relate to that language whilst meditating. After that, patience my dearest, patience you must have and patiently you shall remain.

I see a lot of up-your-arse attitude here!

Fellows, it has been your choice to downgrade to 2.5. We, 2.5 players and community, seem to appreciate it and would very much like to have you around for a great while, but we're no slaves to your unfaithful requests. mAAp Staff has absolutely no obligation (although they do seem to have the will!) to change the game at all --and yet they've been trying to make this game and its version the most pleasant for everybody.

Chill. Stop moaning about the changes you want to see made. They're not the AA devs nor are they being paid. Rushing things won't do no one no good. Do keep on suggesting improvements and discussing the game physics but please, do bare in mind how such discussions are being handled.


I would like to ask that you do not take this offensively, too, if you may.

Now shuu.

I feel rather inclined to judge upon said player's position awareness --as in, a player should be aware of his surroundings and be cautious as to avoid being flashed to begin with; unless he is put in a situation in which being flashed is a given. At this point, nothing that we'd change in the game would prove a different outcome.

I do, however, believe flashes would be more realistic if they turned your screen white as opposed to black. A fade from white is not only closer to reality as it affects visibility further. I'm sure that can be easily changed in the code. Up to the community consensus, though.

Go get flashed in real life. You'll see what it's like to experience "sensitive" flashes. They'll take you a while longer to recover from, though. As far as AA concerns, indeed do the flashes seem to be rather lengthy --but they need to, otherwise they wouldn't prove effective within the AA2.5 game engine and physics, which dare I say, are rather slower than that of AA's later releases.

Additionally, there is absolutely no difference between a flash being thrown to a Mac-player or a PC-player. They'll experience the same vision breakdown, the same sense of lostness and will take exactly the same time until they can start seeing the light shine upon their eyes once again...Unless you're using a 40 year old monitor plugged onto your Mac/PC, there is simply no way to either prove or counter-argument that the code has been made remarkably identical for whichever software/hardware.

I am not speaking in behalf of either mAAp or 25Assist...but knowing them lads as I do, I can most assuredly guarantee you it will not happen. The biggest reason to this is directly tied up to performance --People owning PowerPC Macs do not own strong-enough computers to run high graphics like the ones used in AA3. Infact, not only the PowerPC Mac users but the PC users alike seem to lack greatly on having the right hardware to run AA at the highest quality ping-free and with a stable and consistent FPS rate.

Surely, there are ways to go around the quality issue --one from which Nate is well known for; map & mesh optimization. Even so, that simply won't do it, I believe.

Again, this is but my opinion on the matter.
