#1 StevieB 71
#2 21
#3 19
#4 15
#5 11
#6 10
#7 10
#8 4

OMG it's my best game ever! 1 death only so far.....

CONNECTION INTERUPT....................

WE HAVE LOST THE SERVER...............

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO



hey i'm basically having a whinge here and i totally respect anyone's server and those who host but surely that aint fair?

i'm tryign to accept that sometimes ppl have to shutdown with out warning lol

what do u guys do when ur hosting? shutdown w/out warning? or let them peeps know?

I ALWAYS let people know and I never shut it down in teh middle of a map. It has only ever happened once and that was due to a power failure. (Not loss of power, but my 2 year old pressing my power button on my pc. lol) I have been in a few servers that will shut down if the host is getting owned, only to find it up again in a few minutes. By the way, my server name is TwistedCustom, usually on page 3 or 4 when its up. Stop by sometime, its a mix of sniper, cqb and everything in between.

I once got banned from a server along with 2 of my squad mates because the server had a client server running and his friend had control of it. This guy said we were "warping" around tha map. We were owning him and his pathetic squad at this point. He had 56K and had no clue that this was why we were "warping" to him. So, he banned us. He since comes into my server and bitches and whines about the same thing. I have cable with 1400 down and 600 up. No lag for me. lol

Well, hes on dial up so he will just come back. Besides, its kinda fun to own him over and over again and make him cry. I regularly goto his so-called web site and flame him there too.

Yep I always post "This is last map" "Thanks for Playing" and "Visit our site" LOL I post it throughout the last map. Simply because some people join during the middle of map. So I post it during the map a few times. Then after map is over I shut it down when the server is loading next map.

An I to have been punted. I havnt been banned yet but been punted for cheating (Not Really Cheating). LOL Seems when you own someone they say you cheat. So you learn which servers to just ignore. But hey they are normally newbies that dont know any better anyway.

I have shut down without telling peeps once or twice. But never during a map. Usually I mean to tell people that I am gunna but get wrapped in the game so I forget until the map is done.
On occasion I will apologise in the next map and shut down in the startup delay.
Often I will punt StevieB just for kicks.
LOL j/k mate.
