The End is Near
I don't usually look at threads like this, mostly because I don't want to believe it is true, but I think it is time for us to honest with ourselves. I haven't played Vanilla for since the Eve of Destruction mod came out. That mod is pretty freakin awesome and to me it is what infantry only should be like. So I decided to play Vanilla today because the EOD servers weren't very full and this was my experience.........
I tried to join a Dalian Plant server but as it was loading the round ended and Karkand was next. No big deal, I am kind of tired of Karkand but every server plays it. As soon as I spawn I look up and see, for the first time during my personal game play experience, the commander hack in effect. Some yahoo is dropping vehicles like they were freakin Mardi Gras beads or something. This goes on for about 10 minutes and the guy, whoever it is, decided to start dropping supply crates instead. I say screw this and join a different server. I join a Sharqi server and I notice that the heli is flying around w/o a copilot. The pilot is a squad leader so I naturally assume that he wishes for someone to join his squad and fly with him. As soon as I spawn he starts spamming the "get out" button and when I refused he red lines me until I die. The round ends and the something weird happens. usually when I play I am one of the first to spawn for whatever reason. I spawn as a MEC, again on Sharqi, and I am like the 2nd person to spawn like usual, and I look up and the MEC heli has already been stolen. Now the U.S. heli is way over on the other side of the map so it isn't like they flew over and just dropped off a guy at the helipad. I think that there is some kind of server side glit6ch or hack that allows certain people/teams to spawn early. The guy who stole the MEC heli was a member of that particular servers clan. I don't remember which one it was, but there was a constant message in chat about how if you don't like getting base raped, then do something about it. It's pretty hard to do something about 2 heli's spawn camping at one uncap while you have 2 tanks and a apc spawn camping at another. I know, I sound like a whiney little bi@tch, but these are valid points about why people are leaving whether people care to admit it or not. It is hard to find a full server anymore with more than 40 people in it with a ping of less than 200 ( and I am not talking about I/O servers, I refuse to play them in Vanilla). I remember when there used to be dozens of servers like that.
