What if P99 blew up?

"Developers back in the day were cowboys, they didn't know what they were doing. Today you have formulas, the secrets are figured out."

“Remember the 60s?” says Frank Zappa in the interview above, “that era that a lot of people have these glorious memories of?… they really weren’t that great, those years.” Ever the grumpy uncle. But Zappa does get nostalgic for one thing, and it’s an unexpected one: the music business. “One thing that did happen in the 60s,” he says, “was some music of an unusual and experimental nature did get recorded, did get released.” The executives of the day were “cigar-chomping old guys who looked at the product and said, ‘I don’t know. Who knows what it is? Record it, stick it out. If it sells, alright!’”

“We were better off with those guys,” says Zappa, “than we are with the hip, young executives,” making decisions about what people should hear.

Quake 3 and Unreal 2 are the best pvp games. Skin them with elves. Or furries or animes or w/e.

My thoughts on this go to console and ultimately mobile influences, bare with me. Match Making is a console influences, computer FPS games had a server list with some players having their own servers of the game, sometimes running mods.

Match Making connects you to a group of other ranked players to ensure a better experience, because comfort is the goal. This is key to understand.

Windows FPS games had no such thing, you could own noobs and get owned by much better players, repeatedly. Forcing a disconnect when they have you cornered somehow and no way out of the spawn deaths, that is what i mean. I prefer this kind of online competition and still find it on Day of Defeat: Source - Gun Game Mod.

The mobile influence comes in with paid items or other monetary gimmicks often found in the mobile world but have crept into every other part of 'gaming'. It's gross and awful.

I like Windows FPS games, like the one I mentioned above. New maps and mods are still made for it. Did you hear EPIC is planning to do paid mods? (there is a rumor going around).

These are bad influences in Windows games.

I haven't played CS in years. GO is a complete turn off.

It would be like green on opening day. NO place to play. EACH mob camped on it's spawn spot. Then it would slow down to 23 players in crushbone like now.
I'd quit.

My beef with MOBA's has to do with Redditards specifically. I have argued with those guys before, if it isn't MOBA it doesn't matter or a waste of time. New Windows RTS should be made and new moba mods for those.. but nooooo

Gotta be a weirdo.

Was going to make the same exact comment

I'll 1v1 you in DoD:S even though i've never played it for a sick ass forum sig like that.

(i'd win btw so you would essentially just be agreeing to be beaten in a game i've never played to make me one)

I was hoping this meant what if the P99 servers blew up and it was over forever.
