| I played a couple of games today, gave the SA a nice couple of games, that got to be annoying after awhile, got myself a couple of streaks, two furies, and two rages during my games today, but after the first 5-10 I just went completely downhill, probably didn't help that I ran with GJ/CGS for some games, nor the fact that the people who I was going up against kept popping out EVERYWHERE lol |

| Hahaha, yeah Charlitos, he some questionable habits. I noticed how much lag affects one after all. Whenever you're the leader, it seems I have to struggle with Spongebob Bulletproofpants every game, and when I'm hosting, it's the same but for you Maybe my destiny is to move to your part of the sea and become some sort of superhero! "I am Reo, the no longer lagging viking, ally with Gingeryetti of Vancouver and Leo the Kid of the wild east. I am here to destroy the evil lagmachine!" Yeah, I should prolly hit the bed |

| Pffft charlitos, don't worry about what ANYONE says. It's their problem if you decide to *skips long freaking endlo-esque wall of text about how few choices = balance and competitiveness*. Long story short, no, no it is not nooby (you should know that ). |

Do you thing that DTI is noobish of sorts? I have my moments where I hate its part of the game, but the boosters are there to be used and DTI actually requires you to aim, unlike other boosters. I have the same opinion on SA now too; if others use it I might as well throw it on, although I play better without it. What's REALLY noobish is those guys who do silly quickcopes and blidfire kills with that ridiculous sniper |

| Hey now, if you're going to skip my wall of text, you can at least try to get it right. I think having multiple choices, without being shoehorned into a set of...5 Boosters, means a balanced play environment. Silver, I don't want to wall of text you just yet, but you said last page, that jack of all trades, master of none doesn't work in this game. I'm pretty sure that everyone here considered Vash at least a competent player, right? He never fell into a niche. He was...the posterchild for that exact phrase, in regards to this game. I agree with Reo as well, that exposing yourself, and exploring playstyles outside of your comfort zone can only really stand to improve us as players, for quite a few reasons. You may not be successful, as anyone can vouch for my attempts to run and gun, but it definitely allowed me to go back to camping, and use what I'd learned, to be more successful. |

| Yeah, those were some great games, only downside was that period of like 5-15mins where the only people who managed to stay in our party was Reo and I
I remember that last true DM that we played, it was Silver, Reo, Turtle, and Myself with one random against another party of four and one random, I was being a complete douche and was using SA and even though I couldn't understand what these guys were saying I knew that they were pissed off at me for using it lol |

| You...were a douche for playing within the confines of the game, and using a tool available to you?
Where does this mentality come from, exactly? What drives people to condemn x, y, and z, as unacceptable choices, or "noobish" as was asked earlier? |

| Well, Endlo, I've noticed that people instantly assume that if you have SA that you just spam it, I almost never do that, true I've used it sometimes, when I know a guy is around the corner and I want to know if they are coming or not, I guess you can say that I don't really do the booster justice by not spamming it but it means that if someone is using evasion I'm not totally lost |

| Endlo, have I ever mentioned I love you? I've had been playing like crap since last night, lost almost every 1 on 1, got flanked, missed easy kills etc. To put it short, I was frustrated, haha. So, what did I do, I hear you ask? I simply put on the Endlo skin and began going back to mobile camping which worked a charm. My 2 last games ended 10-1 and 8-0. Woho! Now I just gotta work on my 1v1's a bit more. I'll say it again, if anyone wants to work on them, or anything else, you know I'm up custom games WHENEVER. PS. Raistlin, you need to ignore Canadian timezones and focus more on adjusting so that we may party up. Ok? YES, I agree....you handsome boy [ ] NO, Gingertime occurs when I say so! [ ] Reo....are you high? [ ] Please put an X in the appropriate box (spoiler...it's the first one) Thank you! |

| I love you too, my dearest Reonista. I feel like your bromance, and soon, the hot-oil rubdowns are going to be exported to the domain the ESRaistlin, though. As far as not doing a booster "justice" Vrals, there isn't a right or wrong way to use it. I never spammed it either, and because I'd spent the last...80-levels or what have you, worth of play without it, I learned how to camp, and use other sources of information. Teammates, the direction of fire, sound, the kill ticker, even proximity chatter were all just as useful. It's just another source of information. If you do a quick tap up, before heading into a new area, or to check a blindspot, that's just as valid and correct as if you were to start "spamming" it. I think the reason I view Evasion so low, is that I've never viewed Situational Awareness as a gameplan, in and of itself. It's an enabler, and an additional source of information. It's completely up to the player themselves and how capable they are, of interpreting what they're learning and how to react accordingly, to achieve the best results. I think one of the biggest...misconceptions, or misunderstandings, of Situational, is that it's merely information. It's not a gameplan, it doesn't give you a little pop-up saying aim here, spray in 3...2...1, it's still completely player dependent. The perspective that I got, from so many players who raged against me for using Situational implies some kind of auto-pilot situation, where I hold up, grab a beer, and go 11-1. |

| I remember at one time last night I knew this game was most likely going to come at me, just to be sure I pressed the up button, got the intel and was ready for him to come around that corner, even if I didn't have SA I would have been ready for him to come around the corner, I think I use SA the way that you mention it, Endlo, just as another source of intel, and not as a substitute for everything else |
