Well, I came back about 2months ago and started again my old clan TTDet and all was supposed to be good,but nevetheless all is going bad at the moment. I would like to introduce our game biggest problem, which is also known as PUNKBUSTER and here are couple funny points.
One year ago, when I was playing actively there weren't any problems with punkbusted, but now everything goes on its way. It kicks you either pb heartbeats stopped or some other weird reason( et.exe len=2048 / game integrity etc) which takes a lot of time to come back to server/making vid_restarts etc, to be honest waiting takes more time than the playing itself. Other ridiculous thing is this pb screenshot lag, before I was wondering that whether it causes lag, since I hadn't had any lag on my game, but now the game freezes for 5-10sec everytime our beloved punkbusted takes screenshot from my astonishingly beatiful low-fps-cfg. It takes normally about 5-10sec to recover it, so whilst I can again do something I am either dead or in long spawn.
There are still lot of room for my complaints or qualified compliments. I think the most new CB's cfg have failed due to the fact they didn't make opponent more hittable, in fact they are now more unhittable than ever and the best part is that I think that they might cause some lag.
The last, but not least for me is that why opponents can't keep tag while they play, since usually clans search only "clans only" or something like that. I find it stupid, since is it so humiliating to keep tag whilst playing this funny game. I consider team as mixed if they don't use tag. Well it ain't big problem at the moment, because the biggest thing is that we have to stay at the server whilst PB keeps kicking us. I have came to conclusion that the heart beat stopped lag is depending on server and which clanwar cfg's you are using, best setting are some german server and ESL 6o6 configs.
Only positive thing is that there are less ingame whine than before, even if I am doing my best to make some "funny" comments.
Do you agree with me or you think quite opposite ? Share your opinions about our lovely ET.
Since this is an angst journal I will provide sumptuous pic for you and if you think this is too long to read.

(about the tag i always kick if they don't tag up :X)
About the tag, I think in 6on6 it would be cool, or maybe not the tag but right nicks. In 3on3 I don't keep it that important, usually like to fake there myself as well.
I should have mentioned that I ment 6o6 and tags, It is same to me to whether you keep tags at 3o3 or not.
And btw, which is better in your opinion, opponent having tag with a fake nic or having real nick without tag? :)
Having tag with fake nick, tag would prove that they are clan :>
Anyway, I guess we both would like them most preferably have both tags and real nicks
