Thanks Henrik and Zero:
I rarely play Death Match, or King of the hill, if I have any
other option.
At what point would you shoot at someone after they re-spawn,
assuming no offensive action? Would you just not track them?
I was recently informed that sniping from the wreckage of
destroyed buildings was considered cheating.
If memory serves, something called "Jump shooting" is also
considered unfair. What's jump shooting? "Hopping up and down
like a bunny". What's that about? What is the unfair advantage
in jumping up and down while shooting?
Long ago I was told SAWs were also unfair.
There may be good reasons for these rules, but they aren't
obvious to me.
I want to thank all of the non-cheats who do battle online with
DF2. It's a great way to have fun.
I appreciate your responses. And lets see some more non-cheaters
on those servers. I'd guess there are typically a hundred players
on the weekends. More would be better.
Thanks
