Game theory says we shouldn't earn money while juiced.

I can argue that most players are nerfing themselves when trying to deal with a Juiced enemy Pro. They try shooting them, instead of either running, or trying a ringout. Juice is not as all powerful as most people make it out to be, you just need to flank someone who is Juiced and then start smacking them around like a pinball.

Or line up and take turns grabbing.

I pretty much stopped playing because of:

1) Juice chaining
2) Everyone plays Assault
3) Lack of updates Uber lead us to expect

I haven't felt this let down since my last favorite mp game, Gears of War2, quickly devolved into a shotgun rush dance and the devs encourage it. Oh well, I still have BF2 until Uber gets over their Steamy love affair.


So I guess I sort of agree with the OP.

well look at a few things...
kill streaks get you bonus money.. buy juice and kill 5 more and you got 500$ for another round of juice. go buy the other juice machine. Go back kill 5 more and then buy the other juice machine.

It's almost an ongoing supply. in between that have the rest of the team melee bots so they all got juice and game over.

Now your going to say well your dumb for not protecting the juice machine right?

Well i guess your also dumb enough to join a game with people who abuse juice and how they are getting the juice.

Maybe put some ice traps on the machines.. put a sticky bomb near by, firebase etc..
have an assassin nearby.

I honestly think that each team should have 1 juice machine and thats it..

1 for each color and the other team cant buy it..

Gee, it sure is BORING around here.

I'd love to see you prevent spawn camping when everyone on the other team has at least one all-star level, but three people on yours are <50.

I ran into this situation yesterday. Despite playing with two other seasoned MNC vets and communicating in a party, we kept getting spawn killed because the three idiots on our team were feeding them Juice. We could have beaten them if it were three on six. Instead, we had no chance (even though the teams were technically balanced if the skill levels were to be averaged).

I hope one of these days you wake up and realize the rules of some overrated Japanese fighting game are not universal.

So you unlock every highlight during every match?

Impressive!

Game theory also says Pothocket complains a lot.

I've never gotten that highlight. Too many juices in one game for me.

If I remember correctly, I made you quit this game for a short period after doing just that against you and your friends (I had 5 teammates under 50, not 3). Just saying.

gotta agree with you on the lack of a serious player base. I had to create a new GT the other day for several reasons, meaning I had to start over on my MNC earnings. It's sad that after gainig about $50k in lifetime earnings i had already surpassed 40-50k of the total ranked players. Starting a new account really gave me some perspective on that.


new GT is "FightinMongoose" by the way in case anyone ever wants to play. I forgot how much people groan about low level players being on their team :lol: kinda funny though that the all-stars on the other team never see it comin

Have a weird feeling I made you rage earlier today was in a couple of your games. Name was [#1 im pretty sure... Eh good games i guess.

This is the third time I've seen you claim that. I've ignored it up until now. Please give it a rest.

You're completely wrong.

The reason you won that match is because several friends and I were just goofing around trying new classes. We were curious if there was anything left to salvage after Spunky. It had been out for a week, and we all hated it--mostly the update, but also the map. I'd never played Assault and decided to give it a try. By the time we realized you were going to be Rambo, it was too late to switch classes.

None of us were taking that match seriously, but you just had to be an *** and spawn camp--even after we asked you not to in the party.

You didn't make me quit MNC. I played more matches that same morning. I played more the following day. I've probably played at least once a week since the last update.

Uber made me "quit" MNC. They turned a unique blend of real time strategy and class based gameplay into a team deathmatch. I've explained this on other threads, but the nitwits on this forum presume I mean the map whenever I complain about Spunky. You even made the assumption I created that thread because of that one match. You couldn't be more wrong. I was compelled to make the same comments the day after Spunky released. Instead I waited a week hoping my initial impression was hasty and off-base.

It's cute you think you're the cat's pajamas, but I remember steamrolling you plenty of times before the update. The situation I alluded to above was completely different from the one that happened months ago [with you].

Spawn camping has always been an issue with MNC; it just became worse after the Spunky update. I've always discouraged it and tried to end matches quickly. Uber has done nothing to correct it, and it doesn't look like they have any plans to stop it from happening.

Oh, so you writing a huge rage thread and immediately disappearing had nothing to do with the game played 30 minutes earlier where you were happy pubstomping with a full party (who called me out in party chat) until I single handedly destroyed that entire party by myself to the point where they were screaming at me at the top of their lungs in the same party chat they called me out in? I am glad to hear that. All this time I was carrying the guilt of thinking I was responsible for you permanently rage quitting from MNC.

I would address the fictional stories about you ever remotely competing against me (even in a meaningless pub game), but let's be honest, anyone who has seen both of us play will instantly know that's bs.

I don't think I'm the cats pajamas. I don't deny having some ego, but I only pick on you because you have awful ideas relating to game changes.

Now let's get back to this thread... Which just happens to be a spinoff of another huge rage thread written in response to playing me.

Patch, I thought you quit MNC. Oh, I see. You only "quit" MNC. I bet Uber would love to have everyone "quit" MNC since that seems to mean keep playing.

Also, your argument is flawed about juice chaining becoming so much more of a problem after the spunky update because of something Uber changed. We went over this. If anything, Uber attempted to reduce juice chaining by putting cool downs on juice machines. You mistakenly believe that juice chaining was easier to prevent pre-juice cool down because the other team could buy juice to prevent juice chaining. Yep, that sounds right. A team with map control with an endless supply of juice is going to be stopped from juice chaining.

I'm not saying that juice chaining has been drastically reduced. I'm just saying your argument is flawed. If you want to say juice is somehow gamebreaking, fine. Just please stop making the irrational claim that Uber made the game a juicer's heaven by installing cool downs on the juice machines.

Christ does every thread have to turn into a slap fight? Take this mess back to gamefaqs.

I opened up discussion on a subject that deserves attention with a logical argument stating my case. Just because you try and dismiss that as "complaining" doesn't actually make it true. Feel free to actually contribute something anytime now.

Wow, you do have an ego. No, I don't hate juice chaining because it's how you play the game, I hate you because you're a juice chainer. Get the difference? The only thing this thread and the other have in common is a case for juice chaining being a pathetic tactic. That's funny of you to think this is about you too.

Forum kids why are all of you so stupid. Pothocket, you're retarded.

lotsa lulz in this thread

Pathetic Tactics?

Shoryuken. Shoryuken Shoyuken. ShoryukenShoryukenShoryukenShoryukenShoryuken. SHORYYYYYUKEEEEN!!!!

Ump45 and Thumper, Lightweight Marathon Ninja, Semtex and Stun?

Sagat, Guile, Honda, and Chun Li. Cruise control for A class.

Knock it off right now, guys. So many of you are making this a personal flame war and it stops right now. Pothocket included. If you are going to post here, do it on the issue and keep personal attacks out of it.
