I had to post this.

I agree with you ouchek.

But the fact that you "active gamers" consider us n00bs is kinda bugging me. You say you don't like yanks because they are patronizing people, and what are you doing? Oh right , patronizing people
What would you do without the great modders/mappers  who come to these forums. Even if you don't like mods , you surely can't play for all this time on the default maps. I'm just an average player but I know how to mod/map soldat (even tho I aint got the talent like some people) and I am trying my best at it. I also help as much as I can if I see someone having trouble and god knows just how crappy my computer can be. There are alot of people who help  more than I do and have more experience and patience , And what about the almighty Chakra and FLAB. they are really trying to do something for soldat and I think that they don't deserve their forums to be called n00b

I like the moderators here, very much so. The majority of them I respect very much for the amount of work they put into this forum. Chakra is opinionated, but he is smart about his opinions, one of his best traits. FLAB is a very smart guy who put hundreds of hours into the improvement of soldat. But, there are others who do not have this charisma. I'm trying not to attack the mods, as you put it, but to inform as to why some people do not come on these forums.

And, yes, I regularly play on default maps. I don't even remember the last time I played on a custom map.

But then  again, forums are filled with yanks who do not know **** about the real Soldat scene, wher clans fight against each other everyday, people play gathers and so on.

People come from publics servers like U13, where there are 80% of players M79 people. How can they know how is the balance in clans, clanwars, gathers, and other stuff, when they do not even know what I am talking about, when I say gather or Soldat scene?

The problem is that when you fix the balance in something like 8v8 CTF public game, it is very ****ed up in 3v3 Clanwar. You just can't make perfect balance for both noobs and for those who REALLY put ALOT of time to their clan and for it's success. (cw's, gathers and so on)

Also, for maps, Last time i played custom map, it was about half a year ago, and it was some public server, filled with 16 m79 people. I'd rather go play Los or B2b with them, since 80% of custom maps are simple but even average, when compared to default maps.
