Funny STALKER MP Game Tonight

Saw a few guys in the server tonight, some were AFK but a 2 were playing so I jumped in. I was outnumbered 2 to 1, wasn’t taking it too seriously, trying to make it difficult for them to score rather than make unprotected runs for the artifact. The game was going along pretty poorly for me, was down 12 points to 0, because they kept making mad dashes for the artifact. I racked up about 20 kills as opposed to their combined kills of 7 on me. I have to stress, I wasn’t “camping” or sitting on the base until the very end of the match when all the drama started. I would do the usual stick and move, stop listen for footsteps, try to eliminate what’s creating that sound, and move on to the next location, usually in the middle of the map, so to say that it’s being a “base camper” proves one’s ignorance to STALKER MP. I’m no expert, I’ve just played this game alot from both sides and know the intricacies of each level’s most dangerous and enlightened positions.

Anyway, I think one or more of these guys got tired of just scoring over and over without me going for it (i was trying to catch them and pick it up after they drop) and they began to camp to try and get me. Then they steadily began to flank both sides of my spawn area looking for me, and by chance it just began that they pinned me down there. I would let loose frag after frag and caught them 7 or 8 times because they predictably squatted in one of 4 places. So, one of the other team members switches to my side and just starts tyring to frag me, his new team mate. When I asked why he bluntly answered, “Because you are a pansy, you keep shooting from the spawn point.”

I tried to explain if he hadn’t incessantly encroached on my spawn area making it impossible for me to move but he wouldn’t stop trying to frag me. This went on for a full 5 minutes, me and him running in circles around the base camp trying to push each other off so the other would die in a hail of friendly fire. He got me once admittedly because I stopped to type, he pushed me right off base and fragged me. Meanwhile the other guy in the game left, then when I switched to Freedom so we could bang it out one on one (something I would definitely beat him at), he disconnected within seconds.

Who is the “real” pansy here?

Let me explain something. When you have 2 enemies closing in on you from all sides entering the building right where you spawn, you have two choices, stand your ground and fight, or die. Anyone who has a problem with that is literally a sore loser, because he is probably getting killed by you more often for being stupid and too brave. So instead of stammering around multiplayer games like a baby demanding people to stop camping on base, simply stop encroaching onto their base and they wouldn’t have to. Just play your game with a little smarts, a little ediquitte, and a little manners and everyone will get along. Don’t you agree?

Moreover, show some multiplayer ediquette already. You’re up by a dozen points, outnumbering your enemy 2:1 and you are complaining about something? Get real. The only thing that comes to mind are the words “sore winner.” That’s when you’re winning but the cost of winning is so great the taste of victory isn’t so sweet. Sort of like the war in Iraq now. See how frustrating my strategy can be to the enemy?
