Welcome back! old CLRs Post here!

Hi Rand!

I agree with Apache. Given their need to service the console market, corporations don't need/want private servers for PC gamers.

With BF1, EA began allowing admins some control of custom game servers. TBD whether that positive direction carries forward to normal gameplay. If an admin cannot filter asshats & cheats, it's not a community server.

Congrats on the new home Rand.
I do not think large gaming corporations will ever care about the communities.

I think I missed this thread earlier, just like I miss the CLRs and games like UT2k4, BF2, and pirates (so fun).

I'm not really playing anything at the moment as I'm going to close on a new single-family detached out on Friday and didn't want to get locked into anything. I played some PUBG like the rest of the world, and the rest of the year was spent largely in moving through backlog. I don't get the same satisfaction out of online multiplayer shooters without you guys and Cain's servers.

Maybe one day the companies will learn custom servers are good for the community.

Heyo,

Still kickin', thought I'd drop a line and say hello... and just inform Duke that I still have this.

Also, I've been playing a lot of Squad.

Hi, Prophet, I remember that day, I also remember the glitch you used to get them, lol. 2142 was a fun game.

Hello! Is there still life here? I really miss the good ole days of BF2. If anyone cares I play World of Warships on the weekend. I play under the name MR_MADHATTER. Me and a buddy have a Clan, [-GAG-]. We usually play on weekends. Feel free to join us. We play all types and tiers. Bring a microphone. Here's an old one... murder.jpg

I'm surprised you remember that! I'd still bitch-slap you kids @ Quake!!! lol

Ohhh reallly ??? Strong words, my friend. I only have 1.1 hrs played in QC, and if you are still feeling uppity, you let me know

So many gaming moments etched in my memory retention cells. Don't be surprised that I cherish them for what they were. Times were simpler then, disposable income was still a 'thing', my gaming PC got refreshed every 2 years, my video card EVERY year ... heady times indeed ! Then marriage and kids - no more play $$, no more 'game time' .. we all had to go through those lean years. My gaming PC is about 7+ years old now, a Z68/2500k vintage rig with a 290X that tides me over.

I just hit 50 last month, and as another mid-life crisis I bought a higher end electric bike, a Haibike SDuro FullNine 6.0, and am putting on some good miles on that thing. I have plenty of trails around me to ride, and I've always loved being in the woods for any activity. Trooper lives (lived ??) very near to me a few years back .. I need to see if he's still around to go for a ride one of these days.

Cain, I think you will find QC fits you like a favorite pair of jeans or a nice set of gloves ... in my short 1.1 hrs of playing, I found it to have the look and feel of Quake 4, and it seems very similar to UT2k in that every weapon in the game can net you a kill, you just have to know how and when to use them. The RL is tamed down a lot as well.

I need to look into Quake Champions, I know nothing about it.

1) Great to see you, glad to hear you're doing fine.
2) I'm still looking/hoping to find something we can play together again, we had TONS of fun for many years.

Take care!

I will never forget what you did.

What ???! Who ?!! Yea !! I'm still alive. Gaming mostly offline (Company of Heroes 1 and 2) but happened upon Quake Champions last month. Who wants to get their frag on ??

I still remember the last time Cain ran a Quake server - I think at the time we were playing with a Half-life mod that offered classic Quake DM levels - and Cain would show up and WIPE THE FLOOR with our sorry butts every single time. I am looking for a small pittance of revenge for those beatings, and would suggest that our old vets and younger gamers challenge the old man to a few games of Quake Champions.
