Also for those of you who are saying that only some people are getting VAC'd because valve wants to set an example or scare off other people from using open plugin... that's retarded. This isn't kindergarten where the teacher would put that idiot kid in the dunce chair to show the other kids where you'll end up if you act like an idiot. VAC is an automated cheat detecting system. It's responsible for protecting 50+ games that are played by hundreds of thousands of people. It doesn't think or have a conscious, it just detects cheaters and bans them at seemingly random intervals weeks after detection. Yes, the system isn't perfect and there have been false-positive detections, most notably in July 2010, when 12k owners of COD:MW2 were falsely banned. But guess what? Every single false-positive ban was lifted. As far as I'm concerned; moose, vhalin and friends, at some point in their gaming career, used cheats.

No, it won't ban you. You simply cannot use any plugins when connecting to an ESEA server. If you attempt to join an ESEA server with a plugin loaded it will kick you and display a message telling you to unload your plugins before joining the server.

When I don't have any music I just silently judge people.

The BenQ's got nothing on the VG248QE. It's cheaper too.

Walk the plank, wench.

The whole passive/aggressive scout roles is a relatively new idea and I think it's very unnecessary, even damaging, to define scout roles like that. With soldiers it's necessary to define roles because one is usually running gunboats which making them better suited for bombs and distractions and unsuited for protecting the medic. On the other side of the coin the scout duo usually run the same gear which allows them the freedom to adapt roles with ease. TF2 is a very fast-paced, dynamic game and you need to be dynamic to succeed. The best scouts are the ones who can read their environment and play off their teammates instead of restricting themselves to one particular playstyle.

For example: let's say your scouts have defined scout roles and the "passive" scout is on enemy crates and the "aggressive" scout is on the point at badlands mid. Your team knows there's a half-health soldier in their yard. If the scouts follow their roles instead of playing off of other and being dynamic then the passive scout will go back and cap and the aggressive scout chases down the soldier in yard. Since it would take longer for the "aggressive" scout to reach the soldier the window of opportunity to frag may have closed. A much more efficient approach would be to have the scout closest to the soldier chase him down instead of having the scout who is far away do it.

This is what it is okay; I said empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless. Like water. Now you put water into a cup it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Next time put this in the mentoring section.

You can't join ESEA servers with any 3rd party plugins loaded.

Yes, unless the server administrator changes it for some reason.

Every competitive server has it set to 2.

These don't work when sv_pure=2.
