soulJAHmon Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) I am hoping to get a fresh start in meeting people here. I love the game, fantasy football, hiking and walking the beach with my wife, kids, and dog. It would be nice to get to know fellow players to make playing more fun. I need a lot of practice. I'm not a good typist, not that tech saavy, have a facebook account that I rarely check, mainly used to stay in touch with out of state relatives on occasion. I do have privacy concerns. Over time I would like to figure everything out and join your gaming community. I'm a patient person whom likes to take things easy. I'm very honest, although sometimes mis-understood, because I'm not that great at expressing myself sometimes. I am making a good faith effort at following all the steps necessary to join fearless assassins crew. I play 4+ times a week because I tend to get addicted to a good game. I believe I would be an asset, and if I knew my crew, I am inherantly a very loyal, and dependable friend. I mange people for a living and excell at it. I hope you all will give me more of a chance to get off to a good start than I've received so far. I got pretty upset because my intelligence was berated and I was basically accused of being a lier, which I consider to be incredibly insulting, most people would. Anyway, hope this little essay gives you some idea of who I am and what I'm about, and satisfies the "Introduce Yourself" requirement. I have figured out how to submit my guid, although I still don't even really know what the heck it is. Now I'm going back to the how to join thing to figure out what's next, if possible.By the way, what is vent? What is xfire? Can anyone tell me what they are, and how I might get them if they are cool?It sounds like they help play the game but I dont even know what they are.I'm not opposed to attaining them. Oh, and I usually play on team,no marty, mix game type. Edited January 28, 2011 by Maddog Quote
OCELOT. Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 @Maddog, I don't play COD4 so I don't know what happened with the issue you brought up earlier, I can say from reading about it, it seems like a misunderstanding to me. I think what you just said is a great way to get off on the right foot, we are all human and we all make miscommunications as I have myself many times. I think some people forget and take for granted how computer savy they are and forget that there are many people who come on to play for fun and really don't pay attention to anything else besides having some fun fragging in the game.I wouldn't put much stock into what happened and look at the future more than the past. Welcome to F|A and have fun! EDIT* Also concerning your question with xfire and ventrilo. xfire is an instant messenger program similar to yahoo IM and Aol instant messenger, but it is primarily geared towards gamers. You can download it from xfire.com Ventrilo is a voice communications program players use to communicate during a game whether for more competive type play or just relaxed play. You can download ventrilo at www.ventrilo.comVentrilo is operated by servers and the F|A server ip is 8.3.5.149:4666 In my opinion you really don't need xfire to still have some fun. Ventrilo is fun to be on, but I do not see many cod4 players on it. Hope that helps a bit. Uh, hi. I've been looking at your posts recently, spam much? Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted January 28, 2011 Administrators Posted January 28, 2011 Nice you added COD4 GUID in profile. I also replied to your email. Forums where down for all. Welcome to our forums again. Quote
AntiThought Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Glad we were able to put that whole mess of a situation behind us. Played with you in server today and you seem friendly and patient. Good games. I look forward to seeing you around the servers more. Quote
Corey Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 very nice introduction i also love fantasy football didnt get a chance to play this year though first off your GUID that you placed in your profile is pretty much your fingerprint for cod4 multiplayer. no reason to be worried about security issues only the leaders can see it and it is used to make sure you do not use cheats. Xfire is a chat program kind of like aol instant messenger or MSN messenger, you have friends that you can add and talk to, but the most important part of xfire is the ability to track games that you play and to join your favorite servers quickly. as you can see from the picture it shows the F|A no marty server to the right and the players that are currently on. you can click on the join game button and it takes you directly to the server without going through the big list. Is not necessary, but you can keep in close contact with your cod4 buddies if you ever have any questions or problems. can be found at www.xfire.com As for vent (ventrillo) it is a voice chat program. where you can speak with people while in/out of game using a microphone. helps you get to know the people you are playing with or even come up with a strategy with your teammates as long as they are in your channel with you. http://www.ventrilo.com/index.php Quote
AmbulanceMan Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Hi Maddog, all Players have to learn first about Gameplay and some Special Words or Programms in Gamersworld. Generally you can in all Shootergames say try to Spec Players how you mean or see they are good. If the Server is not full and the Teams even, go to Spec and watch out her Movement, Aim (Mousetraking), Tactical. Also watch out the Players how are behind the good Players, most good Players are only good cause they have backup from other Players. Try to do as they do, first try to be a good Supporter (give backup) then you learn more and more to be youreself a good Player. And never forget all Games just Games! Dont take it to hard or personelly if some things wont work. Sometimes is only to low experience sometimes only a bad Team. Many Shooterplayer are a bit lordly that is normal, in Wolfenstein ET sometimes i think theres the Central of they, but not all! Dont take it to seriously if one flames youre Intelligence or else. Ignore this Guys, learn to play better as them and you will laught at the end. You ask about Vent (Ventrilo) and XFire. Vent is a communication Programm like Teamspeak or maybe Skype you know? There you can talk with other Players in a Channel like a chat. XFire is a Gamer Messenger, you can see where other Players play (Gametyp, Server, ect.) and write ingame with they. You can Google about Ventrilo and XFire to download and setup a free Acc. (Both Programms are free to use). At least, if you want, get XFire and add me as friend if you like. My XFire name: fallenangelazrael. Feel free to ask if you have some Questions over XFire then i try to help as far as i can, thats no Problem. Greets Uwe. @edit: see Corey was faster. I take to long to translate from German to English Edited January 28, 2011 by AmbulanceMan Quote
