I'm trying to work on getting my skill up, and I had an "ethical" question I thought you might help me with.

Why is this considered a cheat?

I only use it on one annoying map that has MOHAA music in the background. Otherwise, I don't hear the use for it. The sound is part of the experience.

I always turn off the background noise. Makes it easier to hear people around the corners.

The only time I use it was occasionally in Escape back when you could hear
the freakin guns ANYDAMNPLACE. This is only because on other maps
I forget there is a stopsound command and forgeteth to useeth it.

Don't use it, don't care if other people do, I personally like the game better with ambient sounds.

I use it because the game is just really friggen loud. The constant noise gets annoying after a while. The absence of fake mortar rounds 24/7 is pleasing to my ears.

Stopsound is not considered a cheat here at The Ville. We discussed this a while back and came to the conclusion that it is in no way cheating. Other places may see it differently I am sure.

Of all the scripts and such that people run in these games, "stopsound" is one of the least skill enhancing commands you can use. It helps to hear what is actually happening and that's it.

So as far as The Ville is concerned, you can "stopsound" to your heart's content.

Just to clarify, I don't consider it a cheat. I hadn't been using it b/c I didn't know if other people did.

I have stopsound bound to f. I must press it about 100 times during a 30 minute round.

in CS:S the ambient sound is pretty quiet so using stopsound really isn't necessary to hear people coming around a corner. In DOD as it is right now there are just too many random annoying ambient sounds (mortars, airplanes etc..) so using stopsound makes it much easier to hear what is actually going on around you. Its also nice when you voice command spam because I never hear myself spamming it anymore.
