COD AW is actually a good PC port this time around

there would be too many instantaneous calls for him to get banned

Wow, mostly positive views on steam. That's surprising

Why was he banned?

he derails threads

for breaking the rules

Where did he derail a thread? Supposedly the mods couldn't even point out where he ever derailed a thread.

What rules did he break?

i remember him derailing a thread but i don't remember the thread's title

So you have no proof. And it would require derailing multiple threads to get a rep for being a derailer.

So every shooter should be slow paced and tactical?

How should I know? They don't share that with users.

But the rumor is that it wasn't even a mod decision to have him banned

So you have no info on why he was banned which means you don't know whether he was justly banned or not.

you have no proof that i don't remember him derailing a thread.
and yes he did derails multiple threads.
I've been here before (although i didn't have an account back then) and i knew his reputation.

Don't make accusations if you can't back them up.

And neither do you it would seem

I have info on how the banning occurred, and I highly doubt it was unjust

He had one strike and was then banned. He didn't post porn or commit any other instaban offenses.

You have no info that is useful.

You have no knowledge of what info I may or may not have. And you do realize that gamespot can ban users at their own discretion

so i have to remember a thread's title if i want to prove something?
cmon cranler we all knew you.

They're false accusations unless you can back them up.

I asked you what rules he broke and you said:"How should I know?".

Just because gamespot can ban users at their discretion doesn't make it just.

@pointstreak: and you don't appear to have any info on what occurred

seriously asked that lol?

Like many reviewers say, paraphrased:

"Veterans of the series may not be interested because of the lack of groundbreaking new features, but you shouldn't sleep on the game. This latest addition to the decade old series offers a lot for vets and is a great entry point for newcomers. The advanced weaponry combined with the similar gunplay of previous COD surprisingly complement each other well and keeps the game fresh."

OK we know any review for a COD game is bull shit, but as you can see COD AW is basically the same game at its core and a jetpack won't change things. The purpose of the jetpack is primarily mobility aka get you from A-B quick as possible another form of running. Anyway, more importantly, a lot are pissed about having to pay $60 on a next gen game that uses a 10 year old engine.

I already gave the info that he did nothing instaban worthy. You have nothing.

If not having any groundbreaking new features means gameplay is outdated then every shooter has outdated gameplay then. BF has been doing basically the same thing since Bad Company, Counterstrike has been doing the same thing since the 90's and what groundbreaking new features has Halo recently had?

Many people would claim that games without sprinting, ironsites, prone and leveling are outdated.

I'm asking you why you think the gameplay is outdated.

The further we go the harder it is to add anything groundbreaking.

Jetpack is another form of running? LOL.

Actually the jetpack completely changes how the game plays and I would say this is one of if not the biggest changes a franchise has ever seen. It would be a good idea to have an over the top CoD like AW one year and then a traditional style CoD the next.

Actually the engine is based on the Quake 3 engine from 1999 but the game looks awesome and just as good as BF 4 imo.

How would you know? The reasons someone is banned are not shared with other users. If he did do anything instaban worthy it would have been deleted or it could have been in a PM. Or if he was found to be attempting to get around the suspension/moderation system that would justify a banning

Nope, nothing ban worthy was done. You speak as if Gamespot and it's mods can do no wrong.

@pointstreak: unless you are Cranler or a mod/admin, you have no knowledge that nothing ban worthy was done.

I have more reason to believe in the admins and mods than in Cranler.

This is still going on?

Cranler, just calm the **** down. SW's was never meant to be taken so goddamn seriously. It's like it absorbed your life and you genuinely despise lostrib...

@bldgirsh: he wouldn't be the first and he sure as hell won't be the last. But he'll have to take a number since I'm already getting too much love from the sniper clone army

Cranler and I are teammates and he confides in me, if he did something ban worthy he would tell me.

Not cranler and how am I not calm? Lostrib is the one who takes the forum all serious. He constantly flags people, complains about how everyone uses the forum and insults people regularly. All I do is come on and speak my views on what people are already talking about.

Only if there was a option to turn off wall postings...

@bldgirsh: I've asked.

And now we're back to this canard. Cranler was banned, let it go.

I didn't bring up cranler and you're the one who kept the discussion of his ban going even though you have no info on the matter.

Well I do, just ask timster20

You said right here that you know nothing of why he was banned. You can't defend the lack of players resulting in dead game modes nor the fact that cheating is much easier on pc so you hermits change the subject to alts and bannings.

I don't know the exact reasons, but I have info on the matter

Is Cranler still making alts? He's persistent... That's about it.

All you told timster is that a community manager did the banning so you have no idea why he was banned.

How would you know what I told Timster

He sent me screens of the whole conversation. We're Planetside 2 clanmates btw. Are you ready to talk about CoD now?

I doubt it, he seemed rather against such things

There's a difference between sharing with one other person and posting on a public forum.

I still don't believe you

You already said how should I know so you know nothing important on the matter.

still don't believe you

Hey cranler, which gen will multiplats stop being nearly always better on PC?

I don't care what you believe.

Try not to derail the thread. CoD AW is probably better on console since all the game modes have players while half of the game modes on pc have no players.

The pc version runs,looks, and controls better. ALl the game modes you mentioned are in the pc version.

Factually speaking, it is best on PC.

@pointstreak: I don't believe you

He didn't say they weren't in the pc version he said that many modes on pc don't have players since the pc's player base is so small. He posted pics yesterday to prove that.

Well you kinda answered your own question even though you disagree, but least you know why:

• "If not having any groundbreaking new features means gameplay is outdated then every shooter has outdated gameplay then"
• "Actually the engine is based on the Quake 3 engine from 1999 but the game looks awesome and just as good as BF 4 imo"

Now uh that last quote is just funny lol COD looks good...LOL
