Just an fyi, if you intend to look like an arrogant douche bag like you claim, nobody is going to take you seriously. And if nobody takes you seriously, I don't understand what you're trying to get out of posting here. That is unless you're just here to troll, which seems likely at this point.

This.

Ares, you claim to have some 'obviously good advice, suggestions and pointers in the stuff you write', which would suggest you'd like to contribute in a way.
But with the tone of your posts you will never really be able to contribute anything.
If you wish to suggest something, do it in a clear way. No need to add all the 'puns' you're apparently adding.

For your information, Killa, they never really managed to fix quickswap altogether. They just limited it to less ways of doing it.

Sounds as if you've bound 'Centerview' to your movement buttons? I don't know.

it is ganja but why should i keep my sound on default settings if every good player use the same settings(ini tweakZOR)

back in the better days it was known that every competitive player would adjust his sound/video, it wasnt a secret, many forums explained how and where to do it.

Just because you can do it and 'everybody' did it, doesn't mean it's right.

Like I said, though, X-Fi settings give you an advantage, but it's not (at this present moment at least) considered unfair.
The graphics settings... well I don't really know much about those, never played around with them too much, but I'm pretty sure seeing someone better in the distance fog than someone else, still gives you an advantage. And again, it's probably not unfair in the sense that you wont get banned for it, but it's an advantage none the less.

if you cant keep it up with pro players then just get out of the way

That's just silly. What you're implying is that the changes made to the game in order to gain an edge are evolving and if you don't stoop to the same level, you should just stop playing?

You mean this one?

wow man, what im saying is, how can you be an admin if you obviously have no knowledge of how the game works, sure you know the coding in and out but you obviously missed out on some essential parts of AA. Let me work things out for you.
Calling fastswap a glitch, bug or whatever you choose calling it is like saying doubletap W = Run is bugising and unfair because you can actually doubletap w and press your designated run button at the same time to get the weapon animation to bug out and not drop down. Fastswap is there, for everyone to use it, it makes you swap things faster, yes. But nothing is stopping you from using it, adapt mate.

The fact that it's there and everyone can use it does not make it 'not a bug'. It's still a bug. A bug is when something happens in the game that shouldn't. And you shouldn't be able to take out a frag or a flash or change a weapon faster than intended.

Brightness and colorcorretion is totally one of the best things to use in this game, the default colors in this game, which are usually in the colorspectra which I don't see since im multi colorblind, gives OTHERS an unfair advantage over me, i take the liberty to "OMGWTF TWEAK" the shit out of my colorcorrection to adjust the contrasts, lineing and rendering, making it even possible for me to see an enemy which is standing infront of a grey wall (north hallway weapons cache is perfect example, opfor colors on that map and the grey walling makes the enemies invicible for me more or less) Tweaking graphics don't make you see any further, same goes for monitor settings. It makes you see things clearer and removes some of the bad pixel rendering on sertain maps.

Brightness and contrast should be there to make an even playing field for people with different monitors, not make enemies stand out like road workers with orange vests (which is what some of the cheats do I guess), which seems to be your aim.
You say you're colorblind, which gives you a disadvantage, not someone else an advantage. I'm not trying to diss your illness, but there's no way for an enemy in the game to know you're colorblind, therefor they wouldn't even know how to take advantage of it.

And finally, the XFI tweaking. This is absolutley rediculous that you honestly belive that it gives me an unfair advantage. It gives me an advantage, but this is in no way or form unfair, has never been and will never be. Me having a lowkey keyboard, meaning the keys don't stick up as far, but more like a laptop kind of keyboard; will make it possible for me to swap directions, lean and press keys faster then if you would have, say a standard lenovo keyboard. Exactly the same thing, it's up to everyone how they want to have their gear set, it ain't unfair, it's adapting and gaining an edge. We shoot eachother in this game, we compete against eachother on every server we join, you or him. If you wanna sit down and sing kumbaya and make everyone join hands, so be it. It don't make it right though. Soundsettings are the perfect example and the only advice I ever give players struggling with the game, get a better soundcard. AA is built on sound, it has molded the gameplay and will continue doing so.

I know sound is an important part in this game. But again, just because you can use your soundcard's software to manipulate the game in such a way that you can hear people walking on the other side of town, doesn't mean it was meant to be like this.
Don't get me wrong, I've had an X-Fi card myself and was able to hear vastly more than I can now with my onboard sound on my laptop, but what's the point really? I've got enough to worry about in my real life not to take this game serious enough to be able to bother with stuff like that anymore.
In any case, you can modify your sound with all the drivers and stuff and to my knowledge noone will ban you for this, but it still doesn't mean that it was meant for you to hear everything in a said map.
I've given this example before as well, but when was the last time you sat at home and listened to your neighbor open a door and the climb to his attic when your neighbor lives across the street? It's not meant to be like that in the game either.



Just my 0.02.

Well not 2nd from the left (it may be you can't see further, though, don't know the thing by hear), but I'm in the first row.
