Ok, that is my own fault as I did not understand that the line was only for domination.
Mongrol wrote:Secondly, i play there on average once or twice a week and the goo's are there quite often. I've never had an issue with them not calling their hits or have heard anybody else complain about them. You also say that you shoot them and they wait then shoot you... then about a 2 lines later you say "And these aren't even the people who don't take their hits" (also there is no way you could count them as "the other 25%)
Are you sure? Every time they are there I have an issue with them not taking their hits. Even the other two guys I was gunning with were mentioning them not taking their hits. I have been going to this arena ever since S4 was still in business, and from the day they showed up, I've always had issues with them not taking hits.

On this topic, those kids shouldn't be any annoyance whatsoever. You just worry about yourself and let them do their own thing whether it be getting shot a lot or standing in the corner.
From your experience this is the case. I over exaggerated a bit on that statement, sometimes the kids will actually leave spawn and just hide against the wall. But this time half of them would not even leave the spawn.
Mongrol wrote:Fourth, if you couldnt get more than 20 feet without getting shot then you just weren't doing very well. It's not hard to get anywhere in that arena if you move fast enough and low enough.
Now that seems a bit personal, I will question my outdoor tactics. But my indoor tactics I will not. Like I said, I've been going to that arena for quite some time now and I've learned every in and out possible. (I don't mean to come off with an ego, but what I said is true.)
As for moving more than 20 feet, that is a reference to the size of the arena. You should bring a tape measure to the place sometime, and see how far you move in relevance to the spawn. You'd be surprised at how short the distance really is.
Mongrol wrote:Fifth, there are lots of gameplay dynamics. You just ignored or didnt understand them. The only game with no "dynamics" is TDM.
You're serious right? The only thing people there understand is "shoot." In every scenario I've ever played there, it has been nothing but a clusterfuck with people shooting at eachother cluelessly for 7 minutes. There is 0 planning, 0 organization, and 0 team reliance at all in any of the game scenarios.
Mongrol wrote:Sixth, the number of people who don't call their hits has never wavered at the arena since S4 was there. There's always going to be a small group that likes to play their way.
Every time I go there, there are people that don't take their hits. I can guarantee that it's more than it was at S4, but how many more, I can't tell you.
Mongrol wrote:Lastly, if you left after only an hour, then you didnt play more than 4-6 games. That's pathetic to write a review off of. To conclude, if you're really that butthurt about the whole thing, then you either have some head issues you need to get taken care of, or you aren't as good as you thought you were and had that proven while you were there.
Like I said, again, I have been going there for quite some time. I'm writing this review fueled of all of the bad times I've had there, but the most recent visit is what I really based it off of. Any and all things they have offered there I have been to, and have seen every change be made.
As for another personal matter. Why would you question my skill (not trying to push an ego) when the problem for me was people who wouldn't take their hits? It's like calling a carpenter bad because he doesn't have any nails, there's something missing from the equation and it doesn't make sense to make such an assumption.
You can play your game all you want. But I'm done sticking up for that place, I'm done defending it, and I'm sure as hell done with trying to pretend it's a good place to go. Most will think I'm spouting off my typical shit but I'm telling you, soon people are going to realize there are better things to do with their time and stop going to that place to play.
