article: the gulf

[jkbrojk]

i really liked the article. i never really think about people playing cs in other countries. i would like to klnow what cs is like in japan or korea or something since (seriously) every asain i know plays or has played cs.

EjeKt and his fellow lovers,

You might be interested to take a look at this to see how competitive CS has been in the UAE for almost 2 years.

pics can be found here

these pics were taken from the latest CS tournament hosted by gamefrontier in affiliation with LG and was worth 25000$ of prizes.

and Ejekt, plz...next time you plan on visiting the UAE (i dont think u will in the near future) u should check out teh main cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, cuz I wouldn't go to Enid, Oklahoma or Montana to Anthropologize Americans :|

to any1 who thinks the UAE guys should lighten up on EjeKt because aparently his article is so truthful...(even though 99% of people in these forums probably havnt even heard of UAE) then what if his article was from the view of a particularly narrow minded foreigner and his view of america: "americans cant play counterstrike or manage a network, all awp whore newbies the lot of them.... american soldiers must be completely useless" i bet the response would not be so supportive.....

[gdn_jaguar]

Can't believe how racist u americans are. im from the UK and i wont call the people from the gulf a terrorist just because some old 50 yr old american guy went to a noob place and beat some little 8 yr old kids at counter-strike and thinks that middle-eastern soldiers are rubbish!! cant believe the arrogance of this guy.



Well i think that american soldiers are the real terrorists :)

why should they be the only nation with weapons of mass destruction?? would u trust the world with a cowboy called george bush?? they think they so big so they go to war with any country that has good weapons.



And just because some 8yr old kids that are new to CS do not know how to play strategically doesn't mean that 8yr old americans are any better.



I've never been to America but I can imagine it though, a father that wants his 2 sons to go to bed instead of playin video games, so then the 2 sons murder him!! tut tut tut (btw a true story) reminds me of the fact that 3/5 of americans raped, are raped by their fathers!!!



I think that the middle-eastern culture is far superior to the american one because unlike the Americans, the kids there although are rich, do not spend all their money on beer and macdonalds to become an obese pig.



Whenever i play americans on a american server, alot of them are cheaters or they may be good?? who knows. but whenever i kill them (they usually have names like IamGAY or anygayshere)they always make boring excuses such as "oh i am not crap, i was just eating macdonalds and drinking a beer"



PS i have more to say but im not gonna because it might offend some people.

Dear EjeKt,

I totally agree with cujo (we used to play in the same clan by the way ). I have been to Al-Ain and they are all n00bs, so if u consider playing counter strike in UAE then u should visit the networks in Dubai like GNC next to city centre (the same place where i play) over there u shall find some competition as the top 30 players in UAE are there.

you can even check out the demos for the latest tournament from www.gamefrontier.com

great article, very interesting

i was in U.A.E for about 4 days when i was traveling, and i dont pretend to be fluent in arabic or anything, but it doesnt matter cuz no one there actually spoke it!



Also, is it weird that i actually use szxc like this : S

hey Basel...when u visit us again here in alain, dont come alone ..bring your team and get ready to be defeated. The same goes on u Ejekt, instead of writing articles of our''poor playing''as u minshened, try to improve your playing coz from what i heared from players who saw u playing tells me that ur not as good as u think...and am sure there r hundreds of players here in alain that play better than u. SO if u want to say anything about our playing, FIRST come and play with us face to face and THEN if u defeated us ""and i dont think soo""u can write as much articleas as u want.By the way my clan's name is SILENT if u want to play against us.

ll=- SILENT -=ll ][) 12 @ G {} N

Dragon you need to get your head out of your ass and realize that ejekt is entitled to his opinion, and if he says the emiratis are a bunch of filthy, cheating, pot-smoking Arabians then he can say that cuz its his fucking article.

Boy, I really wish I could have liked this model...



The modeling/skinning is very good, its a basic M4, with great CZ arms (I changed to Rob O cz arms), It's just what I had been looking for- An m4 model that relates to the original M4 model, but looks better overall and haz cz arms. I had high hopes when I tested it out in game, but then bad things happened-



Well, I tested it using the CZ animations, not Jennifer!! and I found loads of clipping. Loads.



Silencer animations- The silencer doesnt even touch the barrel of the gun, it is taken on and off to the right of the barrel, and magically connected to the gun at the end.



Reload- When the magazine is inserted, it clips through the receiver where you can see the cartridges (or bullets).



Well, that might not be loads, but if you add it up it makes using the model very unpleasent.



Next to great modeling, the gun itself looked pretty slim/small, and the forward grip was funky as it went from big to small as if it were an M16.



-3 for anims

-2 for size

+1 for effort

+4 for modeling
