Decline of SiX presence in RS/R6

[(SiX) JohnNothing]

    For a while now, the SiX have taken an absence from Rogue Spear/and R6.   Most of SiX left R6 to go to RS when RS came out.  But nowadays the SiX are scarce from RS even,  Kordova has taken a much needed shore leave from GR, Rogue has lately been anti RS and has concentrated on UT mods such as TACOPS and INFILTRATION.  I too have gone the path of UT MOD games..ie. TACTICAL OPS.  Spaz, is busy with his job, and has been off and on lately.  status with Mr. Buffy and Mephisto, they are still on and are the SiX laison's to R6.  Punisher frequents GR once in a while, and is still pro RS/R6, is is Ubercow.  Jamiroquai i think is done with college soon, and will be off and on.  Jami still frequents RS games.  Easy kill, i haven't seen lately, on account that he puts AFK by name everytime i log on, i think he's been working .   EZ and Jami live in same city as kor, and they have all met, so it is up to them to find kor and bring him back to gr.   Roybatty is usually on GR, he joins games where ever he see's six,  ie. RS/R6/TACOPS/CM.  [on side note:  kor dissapeard when roy rejoined]  
     Since my Tacops interest started, i have lost touch with the RS/R6 community, alot of new clans and people have popped up all asking for me to join in games, and i have declined. Why? u ask?  because i have lost my interest in RS....  RS crash's way to much, low fps, jerkey, slow, slow loads, i miss the r6 days, but i cant go back to r6, cause it looks like dog shit to me....that is why i now support tactical ops   .    Tactical ops for UT is the closest thing to Halflife:Counterstike we mac user's are going to get, 2.0 should be out later this month, This game kicks ass, way good netcode, high fps, the gun battle system is way leet, and the damn game never crash's, it aslo supports up to 30+peeps with minor lag.  also there are R6/RS map mods that are wicked awesome ie.  CSL in tacops is better then the r6/rs versions......well, enough of my babbling on, i think gr is back on, and i need porn.    good talking to no one.....cheers and have a mighty fine day!!

I agree with the low frame rate, etc etc but the Tacops CSL map looks never as good as the R6 one. The proportions are totaly screwed. However it is sad to see that even the oldest and may most respected R6 clan is going on to other games ? ?For me this posting sounds like SiX is on the way to break up, unfortunaly! The times of the outstanding Attila/John team in R6(which was always fun to play with, especially the Killhouse single games on JN's host) seem to be definitive over.

In honor and memorial to SiX,

*DAMN Mauti
These guys taught me to play on hosts with over 600 ping in the summer vacations 2000. For me SiX and SEALs are very affiliated and I still miss all guys like SEALs Tresher, Seamus, Strutt and SiX Jamiroquai who haven't played R6 for awhile. ?

My post in no way is the startings of the so called "SiX BREAKUP"  let me just set that clear.  SiX is made up of people who have been playing online games with each other since the early days of GR, we are all friends, *some lovers [ahem spaz and *****]and have a hopefully stronger bond then just the SiX in front of names   .   i wouldn't call our dissapearance from RS/R6 permanant, just think of it as much needed vacation.  Besides, there is only so much "aimboting" "cheating" that i can take fighting PC players, mac games on GR are a much refreshing break from the cheating PC players out there.....

ps. mauti:  u can find thresher in UT TACOPS games, i play with him quite offen.heh.  

[*DAMN Mauti]

Sure, for me is *DAMN also more than only guys that are *DAMNs.  For me a clan is a bunch of very good friends. In the best case I even meet them in the real world like Elandrion, Cygnus X1 and Bander.
However John if you observe the R6/RS community you note, and I think this is also a reason why you go on to other games, it isn't the same as before. There are many many newbies you even don't know but when I remember back to the summer vacations 2000 I almost knew every R6 player. We were all like a gigantic family except the stupid impersonators and tkers. However these classic days are gone since few month.   I don't know what I can say more except that I still love to play R6 and  yes:

WE WILL SURVIVE  

[(SiX) JohnNothing]

for me the thing that turns me away from RS is the fact that the people that did the convert of RS  from PC to MAC, have yet to produce a much needed update/patch .  RS Mac is substandard compared to PC, and this drives me nutz.  but there is so much complaining we mac users can do, we will continue playing the games macsoft and other companies dish out to us, nod and spend our money.

mauti,
the news u report on the RS patch.....macsoft has promised patch's for R6 way back when, they promise alot, and i am hopefull, but let me tell u and all the mac RS gamers out there......don't hold u're breath.



jn

[*DAMN Elandrion]

well, i have to say that even Rs is slow, sluggish, and not PC-Mac compatible, and even that UT's graphics are just awesome and i really like Tacops and StrikeForce, i miss the realism of R6/RS, and the feeling of a small, but good community on GR. In UT, you join any server, frag some people, and if you don't like anymore, you just disconnect and thats it. Sure, there are clans in UT too who do a lot together, like the R6/RS clans. So, i think you should take your vacation from R6/RS, but keep remembering your roots. Sometimes, you will come back to play RS or RS2 or even RS 3 with the "old ones" again, and you will be welcomed again   so - don't say goodbye for ever...

[*DAMN Mauti]

the news u report on the RS patch.....macsoft has promised patch's for R6 way back when, they promise alot, and i am hopefull, but let me tell u and all the mac RS gamers out there......don't hold u're breath.

I know I posted the same as reply on the MacGamer forum but this time a RS programmer ?not a manager posted this news so I hope that it will be done soon. I don't believe ?it ?but I hope. I know I reported on 19.1.2001 the first time that MacSoft is working on it. ?

[*DAMN Bander]

DAMN. another big part of the "bander-loves-r6-motivation-machine" has turned away from r6 (gameranger?)

this makes ME very sad too. cuz except seals (where much seemed to have changed lately) there was only SIX left on gameranger who reminded me on my very 1. newbie days on GR and r6. lol.

(i remember when i managed the second night in r6 to champ out Buffy in AIR i was typing gg - disconnected and smoked A BIG one so happy i was hehehehe - and when i rejoined young bandersnatcher got also teached by SIX that camping is something for (unarmed?) girls.

SIX and the othe ancient GRr6 clans have been mine and mautis inspiration and will to work on *DAMN as a community as well to reach u some day. for my taste at last u could say: we are close  

AND: i totally understand your reasons to quit r6 (also: my posting in wtf-battleleague???)
pls tell me more about that "counterstrike" for mac!!! counterstrike was the REASON why i bombed a video card into my g3s stomach and buyes r6! really.

so if u dont mean that pathethic RS counterstrike mod but a totally seperate game for mac it would be GREAT!

*DAMN Bander

    Tactical Ops [TACOPS/TO]  is a MOD for Unreal Tournament, it's not a mod like nato and cs and wwII is for RS,   MODs for UT and Quake are like totally new games.   UT the game itself blows, i hate number crunching carnage games, but the mods for UT and Quake are elite.  they are totally diff games then the one u buy, and they are free.    www.tactical-ops.net

TACOPS vs COUNTERSTRIKE[HALF-LIFE]
-tacops is the closest thing to cs we mac users gonna get, but COUNTERSTRIKE still preffered.
-uniforms, weapons, game style, weapon purchasing, battle system are similar
-TACOPS is a bit floaty, not as realistic in movement as COUNTERSTRIKE ie. too much jumping

there are other things about both games but i'm to lazy to talk........time to smoke a cigarette....mmmmmmm flavor country. taa taa

jn

[*DAMN Elandrion]

there are similar mods too: StrikeForce (www.strikeforcecenter.com) and infiltration (www.planetunreal.com/infiltration). Both are military, half-realistic mods for UT. you should try them out on your G4 at work bander...

[(SiX) Rogue]

Its too bad rs has to suck so much.
unless you're on a super computer, rs probably runs like total crap for you..I used to beleive that rs ran half decently. after playing the realism mods for UT (as jn said they are completly different games from UT) i saw how bad rs was. i have been playing the tacops and infiltration mods, both really great games.
(links were provided above in other messages)
in my opinion, inf is more realistic than rs is, and the games are way bigger. there are no crosshairs in inf, you aim through the sights on the gun. no crazy jumping and running around either, you have a stamina bar that depletes. you can sprint for awhile then your stamina depletes..see more about it in the manual section on the inf page.  Tacops is also good, but i dont like it as much, lots of clipping on some maps and aim bots are common, but still an awsome game for adrenaline. inf has  a small online community so there are alot less clans etc. both really good games..tacops being for the action craving peeps out there, and inf for the realism nuts.
as for SiX, gr oldest r6/rs clan, we will probably return when/if a rs patch is released, and if kor gets out of jail (my guess where he is ) i might come back and play a little if i get more ram, but right now rs makes me frustrated and angry.
i do miss all the old school and new peeps i met playing r6/rs though...so check out UT inf and TO


peace

well....after about an hour of downloads, and another 2 hours of installations and testing....i now have added "Strikeforce" to my list of UT MODS.....and let me tell u, i'ts not all that great......graphics are cut, but he realism is lost, the gun modeling is a bit of a letdown....i have played internet multi player games, and this one just underpar.....TACOPS this mod def is not, mb i'll give it another chance, but the match's are just not exciting to me....that's all for now.taa taa

jn
[btw, 100meg file is how big the mod is]

[*DAMN Elandrion]

there will be a new version of strikeforce released with new weapons, maps, and player models in the next few days/weeks. the current version is not that realistic, but the new one will be.

[FEAR_faus]

Well I have reinstalled UT, Downloaded the 436 patch, and downloaded the 50 meg Tac Ops file and installed all of it. And let me tell ya, it's worth the time and more. It's a great game except for loading times on startup and connecting to a game. The only thing i think it has over Rogue Spear tho is like everyone said, STABILITY, I haven't had UT freeze or quit on me ONCE. So that patch better get released!

[(SiX) JohnNothing]

Faus. if  u like the current version of TACOPS, wait till version 2.0 get's release later this month, omg the screenshots are beautiful  www.tactical-ops.net for screenshots of latest version.  

btw, i gave strikeforce another go this morning, and the main thing of the game i like is the alt fire button for sniping and shooting reg guns...it's a neat way of shooting, but it still doesn't solve the fact that most games are played at quake and ut reg speeds, this annoy's me.....

jn

[FEAR_faus]

They look GREAT... Can wait to play with you guys... By the way I suck at Tac Ops. I die like everytime, it annoys me greatly.

[(SiX) Rogue]

i d/led strike force as well
its not realistic as much as infiltration or tac ops, but its worth a look. awsome graphics, but i dont think ill be going hardcore SF player.

hope to see some of you playing tacops or inf mb...
peace

I have heard about all these RS problems but I never have had that much trouble with it. ?With a good host we play game after game with no trouble. ?Sure it'll crash after a while but restarting the game fixes it. ?Just a minute or two wasted (about the only chance I get to roll one) . ?It's too bad you guys are more scarce. ?I would seek out games with the SiX players for the challenge and they do seem scarce lately. ?Too bad.

I like the RS realism and all the different guns available with the different mods. ?Just from experience with MacSoft and Falcon 4.0 for Mac for instance, I don't expect them to make a patch. ?They promise promise but deliver nothing and we just go out like lemmings and buy their next piece of shit anyway. ?Is UT TacOps and Infiltration the way to go? ?I like realism and that's why I don't get into Quake and UT jumping/shooting festivals. ?If the two mods for UT are worth it I'll go out and snag it. ?Is it worth it? ?Lots of different guns (although I always end up using a favorite, its nice to have a selection) hopefully.

GR is still down and even their website too. ?Kinda getting worried. ?Any news on that? ?Anyway I hope SiX sticks around, much better games that way. ?See ya around.

[(SiX) Rogue]

Tacops and Infiltration are definatly worth it.
you won't get any of the normal q3 and UT jump/rocket fests with these mods.
MP5s, m16w/attachable nade launcher, ak 47, berretas, glocks, steyrs......these are just some of the weapons that are in tacops and inf.
i love the realism of rs, but the way everyone warps so much and is choppy on alot of the servers just takes away from the enjoyment for me. thats why i like inf, as you aim through the gun sights (no crosshairs!) and you have limited stamina so you cant jump all over, not to mention limited running.
tac ops is a little more action packed, and a little less realistic. jumping, but not too much, and crosshairs. both of these games are awsome.
