It seems Pi has been defending GameSpy all on his own... No more! I play on GameSpy, and I quite like it.

First off, it is worth mentioning that Westwood Online has far more Renegade players than GameSpy. Thusly, WOL should have more good players AND more n00bs. The actual n00bs ratios are not the point here, anyone actually trying to figure that out would have to be insane.

I do not like the ranking system. Since every game you play is different, unique... it is a mistake to judge someone's skill on whether or not they have a better rank than you. Obviously, ranks give a good indication of who is good, but taking them too seriously has led WOL to become the point whore oasis that it is. No offence, but the gameplay on your servers sucks.

Oh, and coming in here with your "GameSpy ownage shots" does not impress me. Whoa... 3000 whole points?! Did you do that yourself?!

Bygames are excellent servers that, while harbouring some n00bs, provide a good fight.

The few times I �played on WOL, it sucked. Also, the WOL players superiority have already been proofed. I miss that 4X0. Very Happy

We are not saying that all the players in GSA sucks. We're just saying that the MAJORITY of the GSA players are n00bies comapred to the rest of WOL. Sure, GSA would have some good players, but that does not mean that because of these few good players that the REST of GSA do not suckass. I've played a few games on GSA myself and i know what's the standard of GSA and the standard of WOL. The difference between the two is great. We at WOL also know that the ranking system means shit, but some if not all of the good players have high ranks. You should try playing in WOL one of this days. You'll know the difference.

Not true. I play on GSA as well and I prefer it to WOL simply to the fact that the players there are much more likable, at least those whom I know...
We DO have good players and we DO have good teamwork. The majority of players is n00bish, of course, just like anywhere else... So what's the point in comparing WOL to GSA all the time?

tanhm07: It is worth mentioning that I have played on Westwood Online. I do not use it for a number of reasons.
1) The naming system SUCKS. Do not try to argue this point.
2) I do not know why, but Westwood Online generates tons of lag for me.
3) I agree, there is a difference. However, I think GameSpy's gameplay beats WOL's.

that makes absolutely no sense, It doesnt matter if the "winners" were WOLers, GS players can also be equal in skill. i guess the ones in your game we'rent though.

He was referring to the 8 character limit on nicknames. What names people choose to go by is a whole other topic.

WOL's 8 character limit is an archaic throwback to the old Wchat software. WOL is IRC-based. Westwood's IRCd has always had an 8-character nickname limit, and it was too much hassle/expense to change it.

As for the Gamespy nicknames, we enforce a policy of no offensive nicknames on the BYgames servers. However, it's not really very different to the majority of online games, where there's no kind of nickname registration at all, and people can change nicknames in-game.

I think this explains why I do not play on WOL, 90% of the servers is either

-passworded and empty
-too large for 56k
-too small for a fun game (except sniping, but that sucks on 56k)

I started on GSA and migrated to WOL because of the trash I saw ppl talking on here about how much better WOL players are on the whole etc. And in general, Im honestly I'm not impressed :rolleyes: . Are the top 10% of GSA ppl better than the top 10% on WOL ? Who knows BUT WOL seems to always stomp GSA in the GSAvsWOL matches.

GSA doesn't own / run any of those servers, they are just an interface to list them. It seems to be up to who host the servers cause I play many of the same servers (like LVGA) on the All Seeing Eye. So in reality, it seems there are no Game Spy Arcade servers.

How ever I find the servers that list on GSA/ASE :
1) Have more servers w/lower pings
2) Have more CPU overhead
3) Have a more consistent level of gameplay (server performance wise).
4) Get "Server shutdown" a lot less.
5) Are generally running @ less than 3/4 their player capacity (whereas most WOL games are either almost empty or almost full).

I think I`m pretty familiar w/the situation, I've played the GSA/ASE servers for over 8months and WOL for about 3/4 months. Anyways, thats my point of view.

I hope your not refering to the GSA vs WOL match. I'd say that hardly constitutes WOL top 10% vs GSA top 10%. ESPECIALLY since in all the screenies I've seen posted generally contained a bunch of GSA no-names IMO (save like 2/3 ppl).

I came to WOL for the sole pupose of having all these leet WOL players own me like a four year old girl, guess what ? It aint happening like some of yall play it out. Four months of WOL player still no-super leet gameplay...how long do I have play on WOL before I get to bask in the glory of the WOL leetness ?�

If your one of those "super-leet" WOL peeps by all means, toss your WOL name up and you'll know when I've found you. Exclamation

It is kinda sucky on a 56k but you should get yourslef Broadband or something there are loads of better servers on the USA server and there are some good ones on the European server I always seem to be able to get a good game out of my Cable modem...

Solution = Get Broadband...

GSA suck because theres no rankings and you have to keep launching up the game just to try to get in.

HI ! Can anyone w/GSAvsWOL screen shots post them or the links to them please ? I'd like to get the SS from all the GSAvsWOL matches if I can.

Thanks.
