I don't see how its easier to be good, it takes a lot of time and map knowledge to understand the sounds. Like the metal on the SR stairs, or the wood nosies on courtyard.

Sounds can only take you so far, I get owned all the time and i know where players are, just because I hear you doesn't mean your automatically going to die.

All in all, look back at all of the thread in this forum, there are only a hand full of people that complain about sound card users, and every time it comes up, it smells like a witch hunt

The funny thing is I'm standing up for them, and I don't even have one 

About XFI - I think it lame to think it gives you an "unfair" advantage. Can you hear sounds better or more crisp yes, and you hear them further on XP for sure, but in the end sound will only take you so far you still have to be a good shot, know when to peak and when to prefire. I play on a macbook pro, and i'm still able to keep up with players i know have sounds cards and good headphones. It comes from time playing the game and knowing how players are going to move or what they are going to based on where you are on a map.

We don't need them, for real. But in competitive whatever, you adapt and go with the changes if you want to win. I don't have tweaks, which are originally something you changed inside the .ini file or user.ini. Xfi settings, are not tweaks in the regard that they give you an advantage which is faulty and nasty. If you want good music sound, you fix your soundcard settings, swap to 5.1 speakers or whatever you choose doing, same goes for AA.

I played for years and never tweaked my ini's much at all, nothing secret, just the basic memory and sound channels. However if you spend a lot (back in the day obviously) on an xfi or other good sound card I see no reason not to get the best usage out of it for your money. I always changed my eq and other available settings on the software. If people are fine with old onboard (and if u have a newer board then its usually better than the old xfi ) and don't want to pay some cash for something better that's on them, but don't judge a guy for having better stuff or the option to be able to optimize it better.

How cute, you missed the game. Take a look at the ban text again, specifically the word "reconsidered". Your ban hasn't been reconsidered. If you'd like to appeal your ban, open your eyes and look at this forum, there's something you seem to have missed:

just asking a question ,  you guys are so uptight , I just need witnesses to look at it from a fair point of view, not a single me out point of view . I don't take this personal but I do have a right to ask questions right?

better implement a side-switch after 6rnds like on tournament-mode or aa3. would be a good thing for all "def" and "frag"-whores and change the mentality...
