yes, getting banned on Steam is way worse than battle.net, and I'll make sure that never happens since my game count is in the 100s already....

Same, but I still don't get what the problem with Battle.net was. I have only seen spammers being banned, and anythign else usually isn't a CD-Key ban I thought.

I'm looking at the future, not the present, I'm afraid of what it will become, hopefully that won't be the case.

No no I agree. I admit, recent actions by Blizzard has shaken my rock solid opinionof them to their very foundations.

That is exactly the problem with levelling systems.

Let me outline it plain and simple. This is the PC, not the consoles. If I want a lot of tactics and strategy I have Warcraft, Starcraft, Total War, Dawn of War, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc. to give me that. I love those games. However when I go into an FPS game I want to play the way I want to play. Yeah I play support classes sometimes, they are fun, but the fact you are forced to play support because otherwise you can get killed is one of the worst design ideas ever to hit gaming, seriously, EVER.

If you really want tactics, go play Total War, it does it far better than this anyhow.

If you want to play run and gun, play Halo or CoD. I will play MAG, Bad Company 2, and maybe Killzone 2.

 

I honestly don't know why you despise any form of tactic or strategy in a FPS. Such things aren't exclusive to RTSs or RPGs. They exist in ALL games. Chess, checkers, racing games, shooting games, Tetris, etc. All of them are about winning through strategy, and that is what makes a game IMO. At least 2 players, trying to win within the limitations imposed on them by rules. That's strategy.

A game that deemphasizes strategy, deemphasizes its very existence and defition as a game.

You don't get it do you. As you pointed out, the lower level people can't really go head to head in a fair gith with a higher leveled one. They need to do some stuff to do so. Also don't bother mentioning Halo or Cod which are pathetic excuses for FPS games. I have been playing squad games since Tribes and I can tell you that levelling added absolutely zero "tactics." so please stop kidding yourself, it's not the startegy and tactics, it's the leveling which forces it upon the lower levels. Yeah I can kill the higher level guy if I catch him off guard, but that's not a fair fight there.

Squad games without levelling are perfectly fine, as in Tribes or TF, the ones with levelling are really quite annoying and bad.

i highly disagree, killing someone, even at a higher level, is quite easy as long as you know how to aim properly.

im pretty sure I can take the number one player on BF2's leader board on, and at least come close to beating him, with a level 1 character.
