^^ That might be usefull and Im always telling the apc gunner he is missing his shots when it isnt on his screen. Commanders could use this instead of the old satellite view

wow - the first thing you thought of when seeing this is cheating?? really?? If it were a tourny with $$$ on the line maybe I could see it, but uh... on a random wednesday night on the TG PR server?? What about people joining the wrong TS team channel?

<shrug> I wouldn't worry about it.

Yep. One of the many side effects of working in the IT industry... you tend to see things the way they will be used against you when looking at the "cool new toys". It doesn't mean everyone would use it as a cheat, but it really only takes one or two people doing it to make life unpleasant for the rest of the players.

Speaking of cheaters....

You all need to stop being so paranoid. I'm watching exploding silvers feed right now, fun to see the action.

Thank you for letting us all know how to cut down trees.

I highly doubt anyone would sink so low as to cheat using that. It's just too much for a single game IMO.

I could see this being useful for Commanders, allowing them to watch what there Squad Leaders are doing on the front lines and help him make decisions based on what he sees etc.

No one playing in the TG Vs. TTP Scrim Better have this on if there are any practices before hand for the scrim.........i don't foresee someone trying to watch, but if they see who is on the private server and they know about TG having this, (because TTP has this also) I don't want anyone piggy backing and watching how you play.

Don't reply to my post, I am just pointing this out.

Excellent Point randy, it is much better to be safe than sorry, lets not put ourselves at a disadvantage by letting someone watch our whole practice because someone wanted to mess around with some little xfire gadget.

**Pwn3ge** · 09-18-2008, 03:50 PM

Yeah, i only broadcast random games on the weekends so people can watch when they're bored.

**MarineSeaknight** · 09-18-2008, 07:19 PM

Reminds me of those people who wear a camera on their hat and go out broadcasting their lives 24/7.
