It's not the game. It's the people playing the game that causes the problems and the negativity in-game.
Everyone has opinions and when those get vocalized in global chat, things get complicated.
Failure to even up, people playing 15 maps as level 4 meds, complaining about people who play a certain class (even engy) although they play it very well, adrenaline, arty, fg42, damage, hitboxes (yeah I'm including some of my favorites as well)...all these things contribute to the non-fun times in ET.
The least fun of all is getting stacked against and having even admins think it's okay. I would LOVE to run engy when good meds are around, but alas, when I try to fight the good fight, I get an Axis team with level 4 FO, 2 beta meds, practically butt-hammering each other they are so close, with us a man down and one AFK.
Happened last night on another server. 6-3 counting the AFK and we STILL won after numbers evened.
Now that's a reason to still enjoy it.
It'd be wonderful if it were all stopwatch, meds couldn't eat their own packs, and people actually worked as a team. However, very few players want to have a game where they might get their butts handed to them by superior shooters/players. Some games are good that last 30 minutes but there are some really good games that last 8. Sometimes it's a beautiful thing to see an offense or a defense work so well together that the other team gets dominated...for a map. The problem arises when the people who just got rocked want to leave or jump to the other team instead of relying on admins or players to even them up, because it's the RIGHT thing to do.
It's a game, so what should we really expect? People are mostly selfish creatures, especially considering the ages of most of the players. I have come to the conclusion that I should play with /cg_teamchatsonly 1 every single time I play. If I go engy or FO and do well I hack, if I am a med, it's all juice. If I mortar, well that's just lame. And no, that's not aimed at anyone, just a compilation of things I've heard over the last month/4 years.
Everyone has opinions and when those get vocalized in global chat, things get complicated.
My thoughts.
