Re: The Truth About CAL
It's amazing how much you know about CAL players in BF2 PlaneWhore. Especially since you have never competed in CAL. You can sit here and toss around the "macroing", "tweaking", "pixeling", and whatever else you would like. Once again as said in my previous post everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, don't be surprised that people that actually participate in CAL are arguing with your logic. Don't be surprised other people who haven't participated in CAL are agreeing and siding with CAL players.
I know with as much as you like to argue as I can see from these recent posts its hard to admit your wrong or may be wrong. Who likes to? The fact remains you are trying to give your ultimate knowledge on a topic you have no experience in and a league you have not competed in. It's like a baseball player trying to tell you that 95% of the football community uses steroids. Who cares what he has to say? He doesn't compete within that area. His opinion is his own but it holds no substance. Much like your opinion about CAL holds very little substance.
I have played in the BF series of CAL almost every season since the release of 42. I think I may have missed 2 in actual CAL but still competed elsewhere at the time. However, I still was an active part of the community and was still scrimming and gaming. I have never once used a macro, tweak, hack, or whatever else you would like to call it. I have pixeled if you consider that cheap and was one of the very first players to use it in a match situation.
However, the discipline needed to sit in a spot and shoot at a target and keep it down. Perhaps never getting a kill and just finishing 0-0 or even 0-3 if they come blow you up.............can be very rewarding. If your team wins because you had the discipline to do what is best for the team........ I'll take you over the guy who needs to be Rambo and have a high score. High scores mean nothing at the end of the game. You can go 25-2 in a match. If those tickets are not in your favor no one remembers what you did! Even if they are in your favor. The guy who went 2-2 but those two kills saved a cap on a crucial flag because he stayed where he was supposed to the whole round. He could be considered the hero.
This game is very team based and very individually talent based as well. You wouldn't ask your heli pilot to play an infantry map and sit your star infantry. People accel in different aspects of the game. You have to decide who to put where and who could handle a situation best. Should we leave our best infantry to defend the back flag? Is it worth it or can we put our #5 guy back there in a good spot and have him defend it? Do we really want to lose our advantage up front? Do we want to push with the tank or do we think they will be looking for that and go AT? Should we cause a diversion at one flag and get a squad set up on another? Who should we make the squad leader? Can they stay alive by themselves long enough until the other people spawn?
We ask questions that are based for the good of the team. You ask questions based on the good of yourself. Do "I" have to save a crappy team? Does my commander drop "me" assets? "I" can only depend on "myself." So next time you want to give an opinion based on a league of "team" gameplay make sure you are qualified to do so. Clearly with all the "I's" and "me's" its hard for people to respect your opinion on a team based league. Clearly you are entitled to it, but you may want to become a little more knowledgable in the area before you expect people to respect your opinion.
