Thats pretty gay.

Are you serious? Do you think you are not getting an advantage over other players by alternating your settings on the fly? You are getting the best of both worlds with zero effort: have you aim stable while shooting yet have nice flexibility when not. Now try keeping your face straight and tell me I'm wrong.

ET devs made a big mistake by allowing certan settings to be changed on the fly.

Actually, settings like altering mouse sensitivity help to even out the playing field a bit. Almost every modern gaming mouse has the ability to change sensitivities on the fly, so by having a setting in the software, everyone can have that ability... they just need to add in an appropriate file. I think it is better to give everyone the option instead of only the people with enough money to buy an expensive gaming mouse.

Plus, lowering your vertical sensitivity isn't much of an advantage if someone counters it by proning in the middle of a firefight.

I can't be sarcastic enough when I have a straight face. If your argument is that "getting an advantage" over other players is wrong even though it is through the use of a feature built into the game, then should we all be running unmodified settings? I don't like playing ET at 800x600.

I finally got a piece of bristol board to replace my tiny mouse pad - is that too much of an advantage, too?

Maybe this stuff would matter if I was good at ET, but I'm not. I'm comfortable taking the steps explicitly allowed by the game and server I'm playing on, and that doesn't put me at an advantage. If you believe it does, then you should modify your settings to make it "even".

Resolution you use, conditions in the room you play, the way your parrot motivates your game, or whether you are good or not.. all that has nothing to do with an AUTOMATED mechanism that helps your aim while keeping you mobile at the same time. Explicitly allowed by the game? How convenient. Lots of other things are explicitly allowed by the game as well but are not welcome even on this server.

Therefore, no scripts and no changes were doneto my config. It is just his opinion how he feels to people that do change the script to "help" them out. I think we can just agree to disagree here.
