Eh, they were one of the server's most dedicated playerbases, so idk. I just think that most people didn't like the gamemodes enough to stick around. That, and a lot of them were tough to break into. There was no skill-based matchmaking in any of the gamemodes, so if you were new, chances were you just joined and died until you left.

Unfortunately that's very true, the skill gap for stuff like wild West, warz, tracking in raid, and ctf mechanics made it rough. Only not full on skill based would be party but even then so, you kinda needed some for certain games. (3610)
Hence why Party did as well/lasted as long as it did. Even today, there are super popular Squid-game-esque games on Steam, and they have some of the same minigames as Party did all those years ago. (3611)
Something underappreciated about legacy War, I think, was that it was basically impossible to cheat effectively at it. At the end of the day, you still had to lead your shots. Tracers didn't matter because of visible nametags, macroing didn't matter since combos weren't a big part of the game, etc. Everywhere else it was hard to keep up with the constant hacking, WarZ and Kitbrawl for example.

got invited to a private disc server like 5 years ago with a bunch of current warz mods and smods talking with players that were banned for cheating, ddosing etc
a lot of stuff started making perfect sense when i found out about it
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe it was different in most of my circles within the staff. Something tells me none of these old war mods and party mods were hacking much. :v (3622)
Just checked how old some of the threads I'm still active on are, and that led me to check this post-chain too. This is over a decade old at this point. That's truly insane. (3630)
I wonder how many alerts @iMacro is going to come back to, assuming he will come back and check again. He was last seen November 28, 2023. So how many times have we posted here since then? (3632)
Yikes, I just checked and this was dead for almost all of 2024. His post was 3560. That means that it hasn't even been 100 posts. We clearly need to up our game if it's been almost two whole years and we haven't posted here a hundred times since then. (3634)
Haven't gotten around to playing Legends ZA yet, so I don't know what all of the new megas look like. On the topic of PMD though, I've recently gotten into a game called One Way Heroics. It doesn't have any sort of grand storyline like the PMD games did, but the core of how you fight and move in it is pretty similar, and I've been having some fun playing it. Takes me back a bit.

Dude, that game was so good. My dad used to play that with me when I was a kid. That was the only time I was good with a controller at a gun game.

Me and my dad or brother would try to snipe each other across the map with remote-controlled missile launchers in the snowy maps. If you controlled them well enough, you could make it just about anywhere inside the buildings. No where was safe, lol. (3654)
That was one of the funniest moments for us too, just guiding the rockets everywhere. Also driving those little rx cars and exploding or the helicopters (3655)
