CAMPING AGAIN - WAIT, This is different.....
Lanuel L Staten
The reason people whine about camping is because they dont know how to
listen. You put on a good pair of headphones. Ones that deliver good deep
clear base. You can then hear the hum of rail and BFG guns hiding around the
corner. You can also hear the roar of rockets as they appraoch. You don't
need to turn around and look, you react by what you hear e.g. footsteps,
items picked up, doors opening and closing, the "hoot" and "umph" of players
jumping somewhere as well as weapons firing. I rely as much on what I hear as
what I see. I run around constantly and have never had the camper type get
the best of me. Actually, they suck. And if you get wooped by a camper, you
suck, or maybe you just need a good pair of headphones.

Hey Lanuel,
I have a good pair of headphones and use a soundblaster 16 card.
When I plug them in they sound tinny and have very little bass. All I am
doing is unplugging the line from my speakers and then connecting the
phones. Is there anything that I can do to make it better.
BTW I have to have my volume up all the way.
I was thinking of running it through my stereo but it would be a major PIA.

Re-route your line-out to your stereo-set and plug-in some headphones; this
way
you can control the volume with your remote control (if you have one).
Or just use the speaker-out instead of the line-out.

Hmm, a bit difficult to listen when you respawn and immediately get trashed
by someone who has their railgun directed at the respawn point. Generally,
I am too busy running around to worry about campers hanging around, but they
do sometimes get the better of you when you arrive, fresh and clean
following a battle. Basically, tho, I have never seen someone who likes
standing still at the top of the ranking list. IMHO, the best way to play
Quake, is the way you enjoy - dont let others tell you how to do it.

Wow thanks Thresh! Never been picked off by someone sitting in front of a
spawn point with the rail huh? By the way I tried your suggestion and turned
on my speakers - wow what a difference the game makes. Now I can hear that
camper sitting in front of the spawn point - even before I get killed!
Thanks for letting us all know how stupid we are for not knowing how to
listen - and for pointing out how much we suck! I guess we all cant be the
super duper player you are.

I play on servers with fully lit players. There are more ways to camp besides
dark corners.

Ha. The same effect can be obtained by using "gl_saturatelighting 1"
and adjusting your gamma and intensity to take the brightness down.
Of course, anyone uses this against myself and I'll call them a
cheater. :)

Dontcha just love when some retard twists your post around. I never said I
*never* got fragged by a camper. I'm talking about who comes out on top at
the end. He may get me with a shot or 2, but I quickly figure out his MO. I
have never had a camper woop me, and it's because I can hear the incoming.
Many people use crappy little speakers/headphones and it hurts their game.
Which was the jist of my post. Since you saw fit to flame me, I take it you
don't rely on sound much. That can only mean you're frag bait.
Piers Sutton
Although I think camping is a bit wussified (just my opinion of course)
as I enjoy running around and being active, I do enjoy the challenge it
presents to people like me. The only camping I don't really like is
chasing a flag carrier through a teleporter and him sitting there til I
come through. That I think is just an admission that he can't cap it if
he's got heat on him...so you just take the name and frag them asap and
often ;)
Pod
Piers Sutton
A small amp (from Radio Shack or something) and some decent headphones
(not walkman types) should do just fine. I don't do this, as has been
recommended, cause i'm new....As I progress i'm sure I will just for an
added edge.
POd.

Dude, your bass is prolly turned all the way down. Pull up Sound
Mixer, right click, select view, click on expanded view. Look for the
bass and treble symbols... they should be the second and third sliders
from the right. Crank them both up. Then get a clue. Learn how your
system works or you'll have this kind of problem all the time...
Frank_Rizzo
I agree with you on this one McGurk. That is what we call tactics. Just like
when you're chasing someone through a teleporter, and you pick the chaingun
just before you port, crank it up, just in case the guy you're chasing
decides to turn and pop ya when you come through. Tactics that keep you
alive. and Hopefully 1 frag up.

Piers didnt try to telefrag him did he. I hope he stopped and gave
the other guy ample time to get off the telepad before proceeding
throught the teleporter.

You'll still be on my shit list and getting fragged left and right.

Coming from a telefagger, that's a good thing.
Doug J Abbott
Erm....surely you jest? When you know someone is on your arse, and they are
going to follow you through a teleport, you turn around and pepper it with
rockets, don't you? Or rail them. Whatever you have to hand. "Can't cap it
when he's got the heat on him"? What are you supposed to do? Run like fuck
and not look back? You don't last long like that...
... I'm guessing you get shot in the back whenever you have the flag. Or the
face :-)
