DoD Mishaps

Dunno if this has been posted before but i thought it'd make for good convo. Whats the worst thing thats happend to you in DoD. Lag issues, too dark, teammate just shot me... 3 times, etc. Whatever it is post it up.

Heres mine:
1. PPL on my team not working as a team.
2. My optical mouse freaking out and causing me to spin out of control.
3. Shots not always registering.
4. I shoot but nothing happens cuz i died just afterwards.
5. Getting the first shot at the enemy (w/mg's) but still dying.

Those are the top 5, but that whole ppl not working as a team thing really makes me mad. I mean REALLY. I've broken keyboards and mice from ppl either doing stupid stuff such as going afk in doorways or mg-ing down our entire team by accident then the entire enemy team gets by (while not seeing him and letting him live) because he was typing out "sorry im new" or something of that sort.

If i start to get really super mad i just have to leave... and that doesnt help cuz then im mad that i still wanna play and i have to stop cuz of some non-teamplaying morons. Speaking of which, to save myself from having to get more keyboards or mice etc. I simply will not be on a team anymore, if that team refuses to work together.

um, what do you expect? these are pub servers not everyone will play together as a team. people just want to go around and have fun. Sometimes you should just play for fun too

. I know how it is sometimes for people not to listen and you could get really frustrated and upset. Just remember if you have a mic dont press down and start swearing, dont be a fool dont lose your cool

....and there will be lots of "new" people trying the game out - that's the joys of a public server... We were all new once and people do make genuine mistakes. We still do. Frosty still gets mad at me for leaving MG42s lying around

Team play is part of DoD and you'll notice that it's a big part of The Ville. I'm glad you like the idea of working with your teammates...but it isn't always gonna be that way...

You will realize that certain people will be fun to play with and as vTec says fun is really important.

As for your mouse...talk to Preacherman whose mouse is possessed. His always seems to make him look up in the sky at random and often critical times. Has he fixed it yet...? Is there a fix? You'd think he could exorcize the demons in his mouse being a holy man and all that.....

As for shots registering/people killing you before they do even though you fired at them........it's all part of the game. The same thing will often happen in reverse. Now if you mean "when three of us run into a house, why do I always get killed first".....dunno - it always happens to me... Think

Fortunately mowing one's own team will not be possible playing DoD at The Ville as FF is off. However, if you play DoD:Source on TV1, be careful... as FF is on!

We love to have you around...but please remember that fun is what really matters!

oh i know about the whole pub situation not gonna work like a swat team or an oiled war machine. But i do expect some common courtesy when it comes to simple commands and tasks.

IE: Cap the flag instead of just running past it, dont go afk in doorways or my personal "fav" picking a sniper or mg class and camping an absoloutly useless spot like a wall or... door to our spawn.

Just simple stuff like that and yes i know its just a game, but for me if its DoD or checkers it doesnt matter i have fun by winning. More so in this case i have fun when my team is working to help each other. Now i'll obviously be unahappy when i die and i understand that the game has its mechanical flaws but it doesnt mean i gots to like it

I dunno if there was more i wanted to put here but im kinda tired so.. uhm yeah g'nite

i hate it when 3iron gets by the sandbags in the house by tank on Donner and just shoots me again and again and theres no way i can kill him because he hacks way too much...

i also dont like it when im minding my own business and FOPP i die...cmon i was just trying to kill some ppl peacefully and i get a shovel to the back of the neck...that just isnt cool

hmmm...i hate the fact that my hacks dont work anymore...all the regulars found anti-tiju hacks and just dominate me now

i think that pretty much sums most of it up...

oh yeah i also hate it when im just destroyin the enemy team, but my team doesnt move up at all then all of a sudden vTec pops outta nowhere and puts a k98 bullet through my head...that always bugs me, well vHack killing me just bugs me all the time cause he HACKS!!!!

I hate priming a nade and "lose" it only to find I'm actually standing on it. That drives me nuts.

Of course the fact that I'm my worst enemy in that I usually run directly into fire over and over. Do I ever learn? Do I spend some time to plot a more stealthy course? Nah. I don't play for stats (mine are below bad) I know that i'll respawn and get the chance to do it over.

Maybe my blundering path will reveal enemy positions to my team mates. I like to help out whenever I can.

I have a lot of fun on the ville. A really cool bunch of cats to play with and admin does a pretty good job of keeping retards out.

Well guys since your on the topic of team play I'm using the opportunity to just let you know I really want to help the team when and where ever I can. I know that sometimes it must look like I just ignore some people, well I'm not. My English is terrible, and most of the time I have no Idea what you guys are talking about LOL. Thats also why I almost never talk. So I'm really not rood I'm just blond.

The thing that i dislike the most is when I'm being all stealthy and hidden sneaking behind enemy lines as i most of times do. And I've found a good spot to hide while i wait for the opportune time to cap a flag or such and a teammate comes along and starts shooting out or otherwise draws attention to my hiding spot getting me killed in the process.

The lost nade syndrome hates me as well as the whole, throwin a primed nade to only have it bounce off a teammate who jumps suddenly and have it blow up in my face.

My second most peeve is when you get killed say behind your forward line and hardly anyone from the front line will backtrack to kill the enemy leaving them to set themselves up in a defensible position or sometimes capping the last flag
