That is the date I made Denchlad 7, and decided I'd try this cool looking FPS out, considering my only FPS experiences at that time was I believe the original Call of Duty, it was quite different from anything I had played at the time (I mean, I came from playing GT5, DiRT 3 and Minecraft...).
I got bored quickly, but soon found a cool group of British and American players who are the only reason I played this game for longer than 2 weeks. They were Lorelei Zee and Pushing Drip from Heavy Reign Inc., and Night 5talker 514, Nitrobeacon, Jaqen H'hgar and predator06 from Freek Coaliton. These guys are the only reason I gave this game a chance, and no matter how much I hate it, nothing can replace it, or it's community (or my money, of which there is too much to admit that I piled into this game), so I'm gonna post a list of those players I was good friends with and respected highly. I did purge my friends list around a year ago, so sorry if I did miss you out, and if I knew you and you aren't on here...well you're a scrub :)
Special thanks goes to TheD1CK (for convincing me that DMG was the home for me, even if I left for TLoD, ML, TRE and NF during my time here), LHughes (for being a professional ***, late-night Ambush **** partner, and for having the best Corp Names ever tbh), manboar thunder fist (for joining me and Zee in our **** squads before we all joined DMG, and for leaving for CS:GO before this game became even worse), and 13ear (for being the player I feared the most and being one of the most chill guys I ever had the pleasure of playing with - when he didn't rage...).
13ear (Still remember when you hit 100k kills!)
Absollom Clone (Your "I'll pass" attitude towards PC's was annoying but fairly amusing)
ADAM-OF-EVE (Our Apex MinLogi stomp squads!)
Akrem TROAKAT (When you joined NF and dropped a 40 Bomb in your first PC..)
Arirana (Your f*cking glitches were glorious, specifically the Melee one.)
Arkena Wyrnspire (Most level-headed player I remember playing with. Oh, f*ck Gallente.)
Axlkazik (Gunning in your ADS was always a blast)
CEOPyrex CloneA (Shame I never did well in any vids of yours I was in)
CHICAGOCUBS4EVER (Although I was too late to see Cubs in his prime, my God TP squads were fun.)
DAG 005 (If you played EU Ambush in 2013, you know his name.)
Deranged Disaster (Another stomp-squad God._
Derpty Derp (Incu-God?)
Dice17 (Everytime I played you I sweat hard to beat you. Was always fun to play with you Dice)
Doc DDD (As with Cubs, your tanks always scared me)
duna2002 (Even if I did stompbush with you a lot, I'm glad I killed you 7 times in one game.)
Evert112 (Will never forget our 2 hour Domination where we just farmed WP)
Evolution-7 (Gunning with you, like Axl, was a blast - even more terrifying with Evo)
Extacy Cravings (Sextacy the bestacy)

Geixa Ling (The logi who told K/D to go f*ck itself)
Ghost Kaisar (Scouting God)
Giarc Alpha (You've been in Kinsho Swords for a bloody long time yet still play!)
Gilgamesh iBUN (Back in Third Rock From The Sun days)
Grunt Party (TRE stomp squads were ridiculous with you, we need to play Destiny some time)
haerr (Ever so quiet but a f*cking murdering machine)
Hathem Kenway (Back in Freek days)

jade gamester (Just a scrub like Diego)
Jaqen H'hgar (OG Logi)
JARREL THOMAS (Your internet was always God awful)
Judge Rhadamanthus (Great Pilot, Good Guy, Great Vids, Not so great CPM!)

KingBabar (Yours and Hughes' hatred was quality banter)
LHughes (***)
Lordsmash (Lordfag)

Mark Bass (Italian God?)
MEDICO RITARDATO (Te s'bundo!)

Damn it. Oh well, guess that's one thing I'll never know.
To add the thread:
I'm glad that I got to play this game. Dead Man's Game was half of the reason I enjoyed the game as much as I did.
To echo what I wrote in another thread:
It's a real shame. I really tried to get back into DUST a short while ago, but...
I just couldn't.
For every amazing Scrambler Rifle streak, every amazing point scoring game as logi, every down to the wire NULL cannon defense, there were many things that had me not wanting to come back.
Roof camping. Ridiculous jumping. Roof camping. Framerate issues. Inexplicable lag issues. Roof camping. Questionably designed maps. Horrendous detail pop in and aliasing. Unwillingness of teammates to PUSH when I'm clearing the way and showing them that it's a good idea to commit. Roof camping. Roof camping teammates losing us the round.
Seriously though, the game is just in a sad shape in many areas.
And it is also the thing that seems like it could've been everything we ever dreamed of.
I still see things I adore in this game.
The weapons.
The lore.
Penalty of dying done in an interesting EVE like fashion.
The ease of playing together as a Corporation.
The possibility.
Some of the best moments I've had in any game ever have been in this game.
-The killing sprees.
-The amazing grenade kills.
-The last second orbital bombardment clutches while we had a shred of MCC health left and they had only a few clones we couldn't kill in time otherwise.
-Talking and laughing with corp mates.
-Keeping the team together as logistics.
-The life or death, strafe-like-mad SMG duels.
-Making people invincible with the core focused repair tool.
-The joy of earning cool items like the Officer Scrambler or the 100% injector.
-The excitement of relaying details of blog posts for new updates to my corp mates.
-Planning out my skill tree path. Learning how to play. Learning how to fit suits.
-Listening to Absollom tell me about EVE.
-Meleeing a random floating object in the air, only to realize mid-swing that it was a glitched RE.
-Laughing about said death.
-Saying "Screw It" and running into a room, dying instantly to REs and losing officer gear.
-Laughing about said death.
-The memories of playing with friends like Son Sal, 501st and others.
-Desperately trying to escape a plasma cannon rush from TheD1CK when the corp decided it would queue against itself in pub matches.
-Getting hate mail from ShottyGoBang (Hilarious at the time. Not so sure I'm too happy with possibly contributing to them quitting.)
-Getting badly typed hate mail and modded controller accusations.
-Shooting invisible scouts.
-Charge headshotting an invisible jumping Duna2002 before he could get into his tank. +50 (+60?) points was never so sweet.
-Killing invisible scouts.
-Seeing the glass in the Gallente quarters and in the warbarge mysteriously disappear. (There used to be glass, I swear it!)
-The intensity of combat at points sending my heart rate spiraling out of control.
-Managing to somehow 1v1 heavies.
-The interesting bugs and glitches.
-...Gaining the ability to actually speak to people with some measure of confidence.
-Seeing more than 8 members of DMG online for the first time in 2013.
-...feeling so proud at being told I was doing a good job.
-...KingBabar sneakily saying that they were looking for players like me.
-Stuttering madly when a player I looked up to actually said something like that.
It... it sounds really silly. But I like to think of this game for all the fun I had in it. All the times I made people laugh. All the times people... accepted me.
Back then, that was a really big deal for me. I never expected it. I couldn't understand it.
All of those things are what keep the tiniest shred of hope in me for this game's future. Does anyone else think of this game being better and wishing so badly that it were true?
Anyway, I'm not sure what I'm trying to say by saying this, but...
Here you go. |
