good post

Lmao I had no idea about the connection between ip4k and deadbolt today.
*Edit*: seems to be a case of copying the name. I don't think this severely undermines my point, but it does take away from it nonetheless. Still, the connections between Seeking and his uncle and the maphacking of the other account(s) and the VAC bans cast significant doubt on Seeking.


Patterns of behavior are important for things like this imo. Kevin Spacey hasn't been convicted of anything but the pattern of behavior over decades is damning. (I'm by no means calling anyone here a sexual predator don't take this the wrong way).

The connections between accounts, the other VAC bans, and the pattern of cheating over many years is enough for me when combined with just the few most suspicious clips. And this discussion isn't (or shouldn't be) about banning from the game's ladder, just from the Master League (and other) tournaments.




As I see it what A_E did was the best option to take. What were the other options?
1) Say nothing and do nothing
2) Say nothing but prevent Seeking from playing in the tournaments for now (via PM); wait for Relic?
3) Make a short announcement but give no reason/false reason for Seeking not playing

Option 1 leaves criticism for later and sacrifices the integrity of the ML tournaments and A_E's reputation in the coh community.
Option 2 would lead to rumor spreading and Seeking unable to defend himself effectively or having to do so over and over again to different people. Who knows when Relic would get back to community members about a tournament player maphacking?
Option 3 is lying or lying by omission. I don't think A_E is the kind of person to want to do that especially when it comes to coh2 and the ML.

Were mistakes made along the way? Yeah. But I get the impression that AE doesn't have the time to make an impeccably edited 40 minute video essay in the middle of the work week. I guess he could've made the google doc longer and put screenshots in it but that takes a lot of work too. Easier to just pull up your screen with the proper window visible.

I have clips of luvnest doing even much more on spot MG turns than that. specially in game where he played vs Jesulin as USF.

You guys are just seeing things you want to see.

Here is the Luvnest example https://youtu.be/-LwgKnwtqtI?list=PL5Gq-kPFBcWF8NW9r1HtxeSKSGTEYze7c&t=3773

Luvnest not only turned the mg, he even activated incendiary rounds.

In this it's impossible to know because fog of war is off here, but you can see in the top left of the screen that one of the rifleman models is very close to the MG near the edge of the hedge.

They're strong vs OKW because howitzers are very strong against forward HQs. Otherwise, Katy is the better option.

Yeah, this is the main point.

If the game is close I won't be spending resources on an ML-20 but I will if it's a meme or if there's a vulnerable forward heal or repair OKW truck.

But really you're better of just getting an ISU and using the bomb drop to do high damage and have you or a mate go in with tanks and finish it off.

You'd need a 3rd party program to tell you their ranks, and even then it's not guaranteed.

I use CELO but there are one or two other popular ones out there.

It's better if you don't automatically leave because

1) finding a game can take a while
2) the arranged team you're up against could be really bad
3) there could be one or two random players in your 4v4 game that aren't part of the arranged team.

There won't be a separate ladder of arranged teams because the playerbase is so low so your solution for the time being ought to be

1) don't play the game
1.5) play with your own team
2) only play 1v1
3) only play against bots
4) be a dick and leave whenever you're against an arranged team

The way I see it, rocket artillery has a distinct advantage over traditional artillery for the fundamental differences in what they do and their mobility.

The problem with the on-map artillery is that a good player or a good team will have a counter in their commander for it. Even in 4v4 there isn't a lot of flexibility in an arranged team in terms of commander choice.

I don't really see a way "fixing" it; often good teams that try to use artillery pieces will keep building them and invest in AA vehicle to shoot down incoming aircraft or spotting aircraft (this is harder for allies as the stuka dive bomb doesn't come from a plane). Any feasible option now is just too late and I don't think Relic would want to spend their time working on it.
