    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    Do you know what was awesome?

    FireArms was awesome, before the community bitched and got them to release a terrible update which they bitched about even though it had come about because of what they demanded

    Stupid fucking community, ruining a perfectly awesome mod

    FireArms was what I'd have wanted from Insurgency, where modern warfare just meant every modern weapon, ever, and RPG-esque class abilities and levelling up

    None of this realism shit!

    I used to be pretty damn good at DoD

    I think it was all those years of hating myself enough to play CS so when a halfway realistic damage system cropped up and people could go down with a bullet or two it was like like being a kid in a candy store full of NAZI MURDER

    But Insurgency... I just didn't click enough to stick with it, maybe I should try again

    No idea, probably not

    Do you remember the Aug patch? Everyone was bitching about how it was a "super weapon" and was too good whine whine whine so I never touched it for fear of getting bitched at

    And then some guy managed to take our entire team down with it and I thought, huh, maybe there's something to the whining

    And then I bought one and proceeded to kill everyone, EVER, and realised that yeah it was way too good after all and people had reason to whine

    what medal?

    when the forums were down they gave out 11,111 medals for free, because everyone of us deserves a medal, but not a hat.

    not really

    i'd like the hats to be less rare because i want to have one

    what do i care if some guy who can leave his computer idle has one? It's not like it represents some specific achievement. Should hat owners feel like their ability to turn on the computer and double click the team fortress icon would be cheapened by an increased drop rate?

    I don't remember the Aug being over powered. I did just fine with either the AK-74 with the GL or the MP5 so I never used it.

    It probably was changed after I stopped playing which was some time during the early DoD betas.

    At one point the aug got tweaked and due to some bizzare quirk it became both the cheapest and the best assault rifle

    I think it was possibly a bug, or an oversight, rather than the grand conspiracy half the players made it out to be

    Also man I remember the DoD beta, it looked like horseshit but gradually became one of the better mods in Half-Life's history

    I think DoD was Half Life's best multiplayer mod and I'd still play it if they hadn't nerfed the support classes.

    Edit: It looks like they're developing Firearms for halflife 2.

    Ayup. 2.5 and 2.6 FA were great times in different ways. Then it got horrible. Far far far too much community control there.

    Ahh FA. I miss you so.

    whether the hats are rare or not is irrelevant to my desire for one

    Actually i just put on the medal and i remembered I could never ever see myself wearing the hat, since the game is in first person, so I don't care anymore.

    Also guess who just got a medic hat?

    Whoo.

    FA Source could be good. I was in the alpha but it was terrible then. I've been told that it's gotten better but everyone I played with is probably dead so I haven't bothered to reinvestigate.

    that's true, but the fact remains that in the course of ordinary play you having a hat is better for me than myself having a hat, because I can *see* your hat normally.
