I need help

[reker]

I cant even get my wolf mp to load... Besides... reker> all the names you just said. Not having sound is a huge downside... If I cant hear, that means I cant be leading and I cant be the last person (to hear backrage coming). Which limits me to the middle 2 or 3, which lets face is maladaptive b/c sometimes its necessary for me to switch positions. You know who uses S_volume 2 w/ headphones everytime they play? Mandown, Doop, and almost every good player that used to play rtcw competitively. The names you mentioned aren't shit i.m.o. (scott and hale can be good but lets be realistic)

[pengy]

Most of the time i play now i've got music going. People tend to be predictable now adays outside a scrim. Just go play ecgn, no sound needed there lol. And scott? The same hacker scott

[xill]

yeah i usually dont play with sound. might be weird at first, but it really helps you out being more aware of your surroundings.

i dont use sound when im on vent/ts. its hard to hear over all the shooting and talking. or when i listen to music. so i dont use it alot, even in scrims. most 1.0 scrims are campoffs anyway so just be careful ya dont rly need sound.

[Dimin1sh]

No offense rek, your entitled to your opinion, but scott and hale have great shots if you ask me.

[jinx]

I get Rekers point actually, I can't play without sound, sure there are times where I'll put music on but I'm so competative that I feel it's a disadvantage.

My wolf sound is on default but my headphones are quite loud, my brother moans at me that I must be deaf to listen to it that loud. With my config, sound is everything, it will tell me how far they are away, what weapon they have (greanade switch, drop reaload etc) and more importantly where they are!

I have limited time these days normally I could help you fix this shit easy, if 1.4 works with sound then it's simply playing around with your installation and config.

p.s I know what you mean when you talk about 1.0 vs 1.4, hale and scott (the 1.0 one) are quite ok. I'm quite sure though that a lot of the good players I knew played with music on publics.... Forces you to rely on your reflexes!

[reker]

I realize I seem like a pompous asshole after re-reading my post. I apologize to anyone I may have offended. I am glad that some one gets my point (thanks jinx). Besides, I play w/ music all the time when I wolf, esp on ECGN b/c theres so many people it doesnt matter... just not during scrims... or when im actually trying. The one time I played doop in a 1v1 w/ lives, I beat him... and most people believe he had one of the most acc. shots in the game (even well respected 1.4 players). Accordingly, Dim... I bet I can beat either of those two in a duel (out of 10 maybe?) and even a 1v1 w/ lives... but you are entitled to your opinion as well. Sorry, but drop reload + Sandmod hitboxes + Jump accell are lame as fuck anyways. I'll see you guys one 1.4

On a similar note... last scrim I was in, it was me vs 2 people. I was w/ no sound and I was in North tunnel... enemies were on bridge from r1 to net. If I had sound, I would be able to hear them drop down... But I didnt have sound... and you know what happened? I just ran out shooting because I assumed they already dropped (and they didnt, I died instantly). I understand that CC was a possible avenue to pursue, but I didnt want to surprisingly see the enemy while i just started to lean.

[reker]

Any oldschool competitive player would laugh at the argument that having no sound can be beneficial. It's possible to play well in pubs w/o it. However, it's a huge difference from knowing where the enemy is, and guessing where they might be. Huge disadvantage i.m.o. ... not beneficial.

[eclipse.]

I agree with you reker but i mean its 1.0 i dont really see the big deal. and im sure its something in your config that is screwed up, probably something really simple too.

[Dimin1sh]

I'm not trying to argue that having no sound is better than having sound. I think having sound is a much better advantage which is why I still play with sound. Just trying to make the point that you can play with out sound and still not be horrible.

[xill]

having sound does its benefits. the only reason why most people don't play with sound is either they just don't care about how well they do or not...just want to have fun, have music in background, or too lazy to put on their sound

im a combo of 1 and 3

[Str8SicK]

reker i have your config and i have my desktop set back up so i'll take a look this week and try to fix your problem.

lol i think you said that wrong (and im drunk, IDIET).

also reker, scott has a great shot. youd know this from previous versions in which id say he was better, but also 1.0. i dont know why youd include him in this! ( i dont know hale)

I guess I may be thinking to highly of myself. I'd love to see an osp 1v1. But, It is what it is...
Regardless, my apologies to Dim for the misinterpretation.
