This is a opinion and statement and doesn't need commented on. This is from my point of view and my thoughts. Telling my thoughts are incorrect would be useless since this is what my view on things are and someone elses would be different. I can respect that but still, no need to reply.

Pepsi whats with you lately? Calm down, your always on everybody's back for no good reason, instead of acting like your some kinda big shot take your own advice and stop acting like a moderator. He can post whatever he wants until a moderator tells him not to, which you are not. Take your own advice and stop acting like you're better then everyone else. Whether or not that's what's actually occuring in your mind, ever since you released FTW and left modding you've changed your attitude a lot.

Then why doesn't this person sit back and think for a sec why I might have left in the first place. I haven't really had time to post anything about this but I wanted to address it somewhere so why not rant on it. Acting if im better then everyone else is very highly over rated when I spend more time praising the likes on Conure, JK, Philly and TAZZ to name a few. Not to the general users but directly to Iron_Forge himself. These people stand out alot in my mind for alot of the things they do and I felt as someone who seems to be in some pseudo spotlight for the mods ive done that maybe people would look at them a little more then usual as key figures in the PC section. This is almost on the boundaries of saying I have some ego or something when in fact this is not true at all. If you would bother to even read the credits for my mods I always try to name every source that helped even if it was on some tiny detail as with the case with Shadowkhas being mentioned. Or hell, go look at that massive tut I wrote on skinning. Theres tons of sources in that and I spent a crap load of time on that trying to help people out when they wanted to learn.

Anything thing about the guy who made the remark about me that still kills me in some aspects is he released a mod he was doing and it got some good praise. I told him how to pull it off via pm and when they made their thread I don't even recall a "Hey Pepsi, Thanks for the help", but when I released FTW not only did I mention him but he had to make this over exaggerated about how he taught me how to EOF bitmaps and the process and looked very tacky on his part seen by some others that spoke to me about it.

See, its simple sad stuff like that is why I hung up my modding shoes. Everyone keeps telling me FTW/Redux are the best mods for PC so they why not retire on top? Seinfield did it so why can't I? No, instead I get told im brash and rude when talking about peoples skins/mods and so forth. No, its not even like that. The amount of effort you place in your mod is the amount of effect im going to spend being nice to you on comments. If its nothing but meta swaps then im going to call you out on it. This game has been around for awhile now and modding since 03' so you would only assume that expectations are high for quality in modding PC since so much has been accomplished already.

To address the statement on being better then everyone else I have told people many time that brightside owns me in skinning hogs, id be nothing without Conures help and so forth. Just cause I don't publically say it doesn't mean these people don't know this already as well as some others. The fact is this person who typed that is trying to read me like some book except there just looking at the cover. If they bother to ask why im harsh at times and bothered to read other sections in the site ive clearly stated many times what made me do FTW/Redux in the first place was Iron_Forge doing the same thing to me by being blunt honest and calling it like he seen it. Sure I was mad when he did but it only made me work harder. Many some people need to suck up there feelings and turn that anger into motivation and become better or try new things. Its like people are scared to think outside the box anymore or do things on a large scale. Hell, you have harbinger now so creating new and exciting things should be endless with CE>PC tagging.

The thing about trying to be some moderator kills me to no end. Do you see me running around threads spamming "nice bump" or calling people out for their comments saying their rude? No. The only "moderating" ive done is reporting threads that are out of line at some point and saying "this should be moved/locked" when there is clear reason for them. There are to many "wanna' be chiefs" in the PC section and I refused to run beside them seeing how they act. Honeslty I don't blame the moderators for not spending alot of time down there in that section cause at some points it reminds me of being in 1st grade with the attitudes being thrown around at times.

To end this rant I was going to stick around and try to offer feedback and what not on some things and help out when I could where ever but the lack of talking about modding on Xfire and the comments above make me not even want to bother. So yeah, I guess Iron you can read minds or very good at seeing whats in people when you said you were thinking about doing that thing but decided not to. Mad respect on the foresight. Anyways.. been real and whatnot. ill catch you guys randomly on H3 and when modding for H3 explodes fulltime with some tools ill be back for that.

tl:dr: 86 Pepsi

Indeed. This isn't a matter of opinion/lolusuk either, Infinity Ward is releasing (or has it already been released?) a patch to address accuracy issues with the ACOG.

I use to have red tiger for lots o things

but then I was like meh and wanted prestige ;__;

red tiger for g36c
red tiger for Druganov
Red tiger for .50 cal

Woe is mees ;__________;

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:38 pm

I think i'm going to go prestige as soon as I hit 55 to be honest, I liked the beginning way more than now, even though I only had a few guns and addons. Maybe i'll focus on one or two guns this time, get red tiger on like an mp5 (it looked sweet when I saw someone with it) since red tiger on my M40 looks... lame. You can barely see it.

Darco · Post by **Darco** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:58 pm

All I know is blue tiger on m4 is awesome in the light.
