On face value, this post is not very helpful. For all we know Sturmpanther called Kimbos mom the Kimbo Bimbo at the start of the conversation. And if that was the case, then Kimbo would be fully in his right to say he would break sturms nose.

We are also lacking intention here (as in all text communications). Was Kimbo just joking around. I always tell people that I will break their legs in a joking manner.

I understand there is probably more to it.

Coh2 felt like the distance chosen was to maximize texture resolution. Always seeing the full texture resolution and not a Mip-Mapped version at half or less resolution.

This statement was for 1920x1080 which was the typical display res when Coh2 came out. Since you should design your game for the next gen of hardware, perhaps the new zoom level is optimized for 2k or even 4k screens.

Since people are complaining about FPS problems, I am not sure designing for 2K would be a great idea just yet. If the lags are CPU dependent, and are not tied to the GPU, maybe its not too bad to think in terms of 2k.

MIP MAPPING
When a polygon is viewed at such a distance or angle that there are less pixels on the screen than the texture size being drawn, the next lowest texture resolution will be used to avoid aliasing. So a 1024x1024 texture will be drawn using a 512x512 or smaller version when viewed certain ways.

Coh2 felt like it was designed so the 1024x1024 full res version was available most of the time.

Ironically, vCoh had really low texture resolutions. When Coh2 came out they were higher res and people liked the vCoh look better. Now for Coh3 they may be even higher res and people are complaining it is cartoonish. Maybe people should lower their texture quality and see if its still cartoonish looking

Asking if Relic are a bunch of a-holes is like saying the American government is micro-chipping people with the vaccine. The government is in no way organized enough to pull something like that off.

Your motive in taking someone else's name was...?

If I were a top player, I would be changing to other players names all the time to see how the enemy changes their strats. Playing as Luvnest may tell the other player to watch for snipers and multiple P4s for instance. But it will be Kimbo instead, so he will do something else. That is good for everyone. DONT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE ENEMIES PLAYSTYLE.

It is also a moot point since ALL top players will check the STEAM page of the enemy and know who it is. As Kimbo stated, he did not change his Steam page so players would know it is him.

So name alone seems a little heavy handed to me. I am not commenting on Kimbos personal situation. It sounds like their was much more involved.

How many people playing as "Dave" got banned when Dave started winning high level matches? I think there were like 27 people playing as Dave. I even had VonIvan ask Dave to change his name on stream because there were too many. I suggested Pearl Fireworks. My suggestion was rejected.

Just using a name (Steam allows you) should not be a ban. That is not necessarily impersonating. I would argue you need to do more than that for a game ban.

In this particular case, Kimbo stated he was streaming and that may have been the nail in the coffin for him. Streaming the impersonation shows intent.
