Re: Jetpacks for All Players

Yes, thats the incident, (thank you Athlon, ) my team was well organised and ready to play the map offered , the other team (rebs) were losing big and decided it was the map's fault, some FS tag decided to spawn jetpaks , suddenly about 5 rebs were buzzing around capping points stealing walkers ,ect. Far faster than non-jetpak Imps could deal with it. Thats called exploiting in my book.
Now if you think so little about your mod unless the game server session is a official hoedown you organised , that you could condone this act by a irresponsible member in your group. WHO CLEARLY abused his position , then my supporting your mod is going to waste here....I Play the game because I enjoy the Star Wars universe, I play the maps I dont like and I wait patiently for the maps I do like ....I dont think it's anyone's place to qualify how important a game is being played based on where and when and how signifcant you think the game was. There is no justification for employing your top secret easter egg to disadvantage one side. IN MY OPINION , how about yours?

Seriously, get over yourself.  "Oh no, a dev abused his power".  THEY DESERVE TO. It was a dead-end game, and how often do you see the devs using jetpacks at all?  To me it just lookts like you are pissed off because you didnt get to use them.

It was an incident that happened ages ago, when Jetpacks were still new and exciting.  Let it drop, you have no right to tell the devs what they can and cannot do.  They own the mod, not you. They made the mod, not you.  They spend hours upon hours perfecting it, and you should just be grateful to be allowed to play it.  Don't like that? Then go play Battlefront.

Re: Jetpacks for All Players

I still honestly find it hard to not go to tears and snicker every time someone says "Squeezy Pooh". tongue

Anyway, back on topic. First of all, wasn't the topic about giving jetpacks to all players, (NAY I SAY!) not about admins using/abusing their powers to give them to players? Come on people, there's another thread for this I believe...

Curses, foiled again!

If you didnt know, squeezy pooh comes when you try to say something rude, like sh it and such.

Re: Jetpacks for All Players

I posted the link to highlight the game in question. That thread is locked and rightly so, lets not start it back up again here. The Jetpax or rather the Bounty Hunter kit is a good laugh and it would be a shame if it was never to be used again. Maybe in the future we might see a high platform based map that they can be used on?
(best swear filter ever btw...... squeezey pooh lol)

Re: Jetpacks for All Players

Yeah. When I say 'squeezy pooh' its because the MAN wants me too. If I had it my way, I would be able to say sh1t. It usually ruins the emphasis I'm trying to make, as well as the emphasis on my anger in some cases.

But this thread isn't about the censor, or the jetpack incident, lets stay on topic.

I DO NOT want an all jetpack map.

Re: Jetpacks for All Players

I don't want a jetpack on any map.  I would like it to be dev spawn only, so it will completly stop jetpack spawn camping, like happened today where 4/12 imperials were sitting at the JP spawn point.

It was put in for a laugh, and it was fun to begin with. Now it is only having a negative effect.
