Ahhhhhhh…I have tasted the sweet juices of INF Net War. I basically suck, as it’s always a ping issue, but I haven’t been playing INF very much in the last week. Therefore, my skills were a little low, but today’s play was a real learning experience. Looks as if I’m gonna be playing a lot of Infiltration online, now. If you don’t have it, look to my previous entry. There are two places to download the core files and one for the maps (you WILL need the maps to play online, all the servers run is the new stuff).
I played on a little clan server first to get a feel of my lag. I got a “nice”, “good shot”, and “woah, just popped right up and nailed him!” on that server. Then I started playing where the big boys go, SOBserver (they have a nifty voting system); I got a ping around 300ms there. First, I sucked on Kosovo, I did ok on CubanDawn, but I started to get the feel for the tension and lag on Sicily; that’s where I shined. Here’s my Sicily story of rockage: I took the left exit from the respawn area of blue and started to wander behind two team-mates taking the long way around. When we reached a corner, they both suddenly got whacked by a nade and MP5 (I believe). I was untouched and ran back to a space in between two houses (very similar to cs_italy for CStrike, but a little more gloomy). I camped there and pulled out an AKSMU that I had picked up earlier. Sure enough, here came footsteps…he walked right past my nook and had his back turned, sliding along. When I felt comfortable, I broke out on his ass with auto AKSMU fire…normally this would be the end of the hostile, but the drum that had previously been loaded had only 3 ROUNDS LEFT!!! We were both stressing to figure out what happened, I ran out of the nook and he turned around. Finally I fumbled out my M16 and damned if the thing didn’t have the M203 selected! I shot a grenade into his head, but this was CQB and it didn’t explode. He was just crouched fumbling with his weapons, too. It’s a good thing there is no Auto-reload, cause I was able to switch to the M16 and give the hostile a good 4-round burst. Finally, he was dead…and I didn’t loose a single bit of health against an LPB. This round ended in myself being the only person alive on Blue and up against 4 hostile Reds. Damn, my heart nearly blew out of my chest…ahhhhhhh. There are 2 pics below of my phatness. Enjoy and get INF 2.85, damnit!
