I might have generalized a little too much sockhole because not all of the CSers I have met or watched play have been jerks but the majority that I have seen are. While I may not play, I have family members that I watch play quite often and if they aren't picking on newbs then one of the other players is. And they play on a few different servers so there are numerous different players. Bullies are bullies, CS just seems to have more than its share...mind you percentage wise they are probably at the same level as Ricochet just because of the volume of players. Two of my favorite Ricochet players are CS players so I know not all of them can be such jerks. I have a CS server and have promised admin to a couple of Rico crossovers...when the time comes....If just one (I believe there were 4) of my teammates had of said....there are instructions you can read at www.whatever it would not have left such a bad taste in my mouth...even if they had of said "didnt you look at the controls?" I could have let them know I was new to ALL online gaming and my HLDM game came with a brochure with very little instructions and I was just checking out this game and the controls are not the same.
No one took the time to do either. No patience for newbs...all you did is reaffirm it in your post. That is why I supported Tripp in this post to be a little more tolerant of newbs. Not everyone is coming in with the same experience...neither with computers nor with gaming...I just happen to still remember how noob I was so I tend to be more tolerant than most. And besides...its just a game...I can always find time to help out even if it means I die trying.;)
High and mighty?? naw...that is a judgement call I can't accept.... it might have something to do with the pace of the game...but I believe we are more social than players in other games. If I am harsh to CS players it is because of my experiences with them. I would love to set up a game on my CS server with all the Ricochet players that play CS, where I would be allowed to enjoy the game.
