Disconnect While Infected? - Page 2

Circuitous · 12-18-2006, 08:58 PM

GhOsT is correct, the medic gets a frag if they switch teams. Or so it was last I checked.

It'd be nice if there were any sort of way to manually cure infections. Like maybe just being out of contact with your teammates for, say... 10 seconds. Most people will have already died in this time frame, granted. So maybe there's no point. Fuck it. Carry on.

I thought that wasn't a issue to you since you even felt the need to add those quotes to your signature.

He doesn't let them kill him.

o_paft · 12-18-2006, 09:10 PM

Circuitous · 12-18-2006, 09:12 PM

That's what it sounded like.

My bad with my rambling post, then. I was more of a Q3F player until Q3F Beta 2 (which IMO destroyed the game, also one of the reasons why there were relatively few ETF players) and I don't remember any of that actually existing in Q3F or in TFC (which I played on and off).

Again, though, auto-banning is not only obscenely extreme for such a bogus and easy to get around issue, and stats really don't matter because kills don't win you the game - flag caps do.

o_norris · 12-19-2006, 07:13 AM

haha I love to see ppl doing a reconnect because I infected them.
btw alchimy is okish but far from beautiful. it's to conc complex and to less newbie friendly. wouldn't be the map that I'd like to start to play on FF.. but no worry, someone will prolly do a remake of the tfc version.

his disconnect, his frags, his loss
alternatively just go snipe or demoman or soldier and toss a few mirvs-grens under his ass if you want to kill that guy that bad

o_gambit · 12-19-2006, 12:02 PM

what pisses me off is ppl switching back and forth b/w teams when infected....

admin_ban.....

o_paft · 12-19-2006, 01:35 PM

Yes, forced balanced teams sorts that.

There's a workaround for that as well: reset scores to zero when switching teams.
If you're one of the people who switch into a weaker team, you usually don't care about frags anymore, anyway.

Ironic that your name is Aware and you seem to be completely unaware of what I was saying in the first place.

i dont think that would work well....on our server there are alot of ppl(myself included) who switch teams to keep them even....setting that would discourage ppl from evening teams...i just as soon kick them and be done with it....

its not a common problem....just something that really gets to me...

P.S. not a bad idea though...

EDIT: i forgot to mention that when i get infected i just kill myself....that way the medic doesnt get the kill and more importantly theres less of a chance of infecting somebody else on my team...

o_silencer · 12-19-2006, 08:41 PM

if you just switch to the other team and then back to your original team you can keep your stats perfect. These guys are fucking morons doing all that to just keep their score good. And doing it badly.

o_nodnarb · 12-20-2006, 02:20 AM

personally if their going to go through all that trouble, let them have it!

Pretty sure he meant manual disconnect and then immediate reconnect.

Its done ALL the time in CS when people die early in the round, they quickly retry and get in before the round spawn timelimit is over.

Many servers have a auto kick or auto slay when someone tries that, think manimod recently made an addition.

I hate any mechanic that lets score whores cheep outta a death somehow to save their precious rank.

Latley people are more of a overall /rank whore then round score whore, thats why they would reconnect on infect.

Just have the game remember if you were infected and have you start the new connect infected, or have it auto slay your (counting as a suicide) if you disconnected and reconnected when infected.

o_gunslinger · 12-20-2006, 02:47 PM

Or just not worry about it too much, it's not like it really matters. If it is that much of an issue for yourself, get your own server or just play on one where if you reconnect when infected you get banned.

If you are playing TFC the medic still gets the kill. I usually just kill myself as well just so I can get back into the action quickly and not worry about infecting teammates.
