I will say what I said years ago: using custom particles to increase visibility that would otherwise be blocked by the default particles is cheating. It's like using fullbright skins in a game where fullbright skins aren't supported. Noid made sticky particles that were visible through walls as well as medic beam particles that made the beam show from a million miles away, even through walls. If you think that's considered legitimate, you may as well download a wallhack to go along with it.

I've done extensive traveling. In my experience, "decent" hotels usually had crappy connections that were unusable. Staying in something crappy like a Motel 6 always yielded better connections, but obviously the places were typically dumps.

It's kind of hard to give 500 guests access to a 10-100mbps pipe and expect any kind of good results, so your best bet is to pick a place where fewer people are likely to want/use internet connections.

someone bookmark this thread for easy referencing the next time someone posts raving about how the tf2 community is so great.

It does very much seem like a cable/NIC/port issue. I would suggest you pick up another cable and start there. A good cable will cost you around $3.

create a subfolder inside your config folder
call it something useful e.g. 'crosshairs'
create a file in that folder called defaultcrosshair.cfg containing one line:
cl_crosshair_file "default"
create a second file in that folder called quotecrosshair.cfg containing one line:
cl_crosshair_file ""

any time you want to utilize those in your configs, just put "exec crosshairs/defaultcrosshair.cfg" or "exec crosshairs/quotecrosshair.cfg"

e.g. bind x "exec crosshairs/quotecrosshair.cfg"

hmmmm
at the risk of sounding harsh, I must say (and please don't take this too offensively)

if you think wheel is spelled weal, you should probably not be posting reviews

that is all

Pick a sensitivity and use it. If it's comfortable, keep it. If it's not comfortable, start over. The idea that you can't use different sensitivities for different games, different classes, or even for different weapons within the same class within the same game, is ludicrous. The idea that you can't use a sensitivity faster than 10"/360 is also ludicrous.

Sure, the pros have a lower sensitivity. CS has much slower movement which makes the necessity of quick 180 turns occur much less frequently. Most CS players have a sensitivity that makes it easier for them to control recoil and aim more precisely. If that means you use a 10"/360 sensitivity, go for it. If you can be accurate with your recoil control and aiming while using a higher sensitivity, then do it.

It's all preference and nobody can positively tell you how your muscle memory will react to changes and/or utilizing multiple sensitivities.

Ate chinese food for dinner while away from home. Within 10 minutes, it became apparent that deuces were wild and coming in hot. Sat on a public toilet without the typical care and precision due to the emergent nature of why I was there. Lowered myself onto the toilet only to be greeted by my junk taking a dive in 25°f water.

I'm pretty sure I could jump into 50 of the nastiest hookers on Earth and I'd feel cleaner than that awful day.

Had you been engaged, you would have spoken to GC. Had you been engaged. This phrase is the key; it's solely why the ruling to overturn the match results and force a round to be replayed is a poor decision on your part.

The purpose of rules is to ensure equal opportunity and fair play exist, while simultaneously predetermining the way a particular dispute will be settled. Unfortunately, there are going to be extenuating circumstances where exceptions to rules need to be made.

In the interest of fair play and equal opportunity, rules need to be followed and enforced. If you state that a pause can be a maximum of 5 minutes in your rules, it makes absolutely zero sense to then claim that the team who did not initiate the pause cannot resume the game after the 5 minute maximum pause time has been exceeded. If you want to make sure that the pausing team is always the unpausing team, even in the case of pauses which exceed their limits, state it in the rules. Making a claim that a team is in the wrong for doing something which you consider to be an unwritten rule (while following the WRITTEN rules) isn't just silly--it's completely asinine.

I understand that your rules don't echo the rules of ESEA, and I know that many UGC HL players don't participate in ESEA, but here is the pause rule as written in the ESEA league rules:

This clause makes perfect sense. If you are willing to wait longer than 5 minutes, you wait. If you are not willing to wait longer than the allotted 5 minute period, you unpause and resume play. It sucks that this happened to GC, and in an ideal situation, the opposing team would kindly wait for substitute players to arrive, but I understand why a team who has been on the receiving end of poor sportsmanship multiple times would opt not to do so.

If GC had 3 players disconnect, the remaining players should have immediately contacted a UGC admin, alerted players on MF9K that an admin was being contacted, and if no admin responded immediately, made a post on the match comments page stating that an admin had been contacted but no response was received. If the admin did respond and deemed the issue was worthy of bypassing the pause time rule, the admin should have immediately contacted members of MF9K and alerted them that the pause rule was suspended due to extenuating circumstances. This should have occurred before the 5 minute limit was exceeded. Making an exception on the fly is one thing, but going back in the past and overturning results when the winning team's only offense was "following written rules" should only be considered in cases where an admin was not immediately available (as in, he was contacted but was not able to respond immediately).

the idea that a word simultaneously means one thing and the opposite thing is an egregious misappropriation of the language and is stupid and i don't care what your dumb dictionary says

irregardless is in your dictionary but it also is inaccurate

and it's not being used ironically, it's being used in situations where it is completely unnecessary and inaccurate

word origin:
"1530s, "in a literal sense," from literal. Erroneously used in reference to metaphors, hyperbole, etc., even by writers like Dryden and Pope, to indicate "what follows must be taken in the strongest admissible sense" (1680s), which is opposite to the word's real meaning."

p.s. see if you can spot the irony there buddy

Tab is your friend. Make sure your team calls when they get a medic pick and make sure you identify who that person is early in the game. Watch the kill feeds during team altercations and make sure you watch for the spawn time of the medic.

This isn't something you should necessarily be doing by yourself. Top players will be watching this even if they're playing fragging classes. Many top players will also say, "medic's up" if they are pressing tab when he spawns.

Ultimately you want to rely on yourself the most, but it's a good idea to get your team looking at it as well. If you're not healing, just remember that uber is 2.5% per second. It's generally best to assume the other medic is healing the instant he spawns unless he's the only player alive on that team.

It really does boil down to, "the more you play, the easier it will become". Focusing on the little details will become easier as you gain experience because the bigger details like positioning will become second nature.
