I NEVER really saw what the fuss was about dK-. our bickering aside, I just never saw him as dominant at anything...especially HOing. Dont get me wrong, he WAS good, just not GREAT yet he got picked up by 5150. Maybe he was just in with the right people.
prowler was VERY underrated. As good as ANY HO and pretty damn good at everything else.
Eso was VERY good but hardly underrated as there is always a line at his dick.
Kuno was an absolute beast and i wanted to kill him IRL because he drove me nuts
Rapher was really good but also not really underrated. besides he scripts and prolly cheats.
pumpkinking was a very good capper early on then just disappeared
Mcfine was easily one of the best chasers in the game and he was definately underrated.
Frag was probably THE best chaser in the game but he was a prick and i hope he gets his hands blown off in Iraq.
Shivan was fucking GREAT and the best HOF ive ever seen.
Wackety was insanely good as was scipy.
I think Poe Dude was a great and often overlooked capper.
Tearis was very good but im not sure if hes as good as HE thinks he was but i love him any way...even when he catches my mortars while chasingwhich he had an uncanny knack for.
but my call for the MOST underrated player would probably be Validuz. He was as good as SlaM IMO except for awareness but he was such a prick nobody would let him play with them. He was a beast early on in the game though.
First off Rico... you only became dominant when all the comp died down....lol.. Not to flame you but you had nothing on me or nurp at that time of 5150 days. In fact I could remember you constantly trying to stalk me or Nurp unsuccessfully over and over again. Im not gonna go back and forth with you on who was better, we both know who owned who reguardless of what you say.. O ya I can remember slut making fun of you trying super hard to kill him the same....at one point you were the mascot of of voice comms...lol. Skill may have been what you were known for at some point, but it was your mouth that initially got you famous...lol
i believe dk and nurp shield pack hoed, rico was almost as good as you both in epack, not infinite life shieldng.
if it came down to epacks no doubt rico was better then you both
dk and nurp also played teams that were actually good. There's a big difference between HOing against ill or 22 and HOing against r. or fucking <=RD=> or some shit.
It seems to me that most of the players in BEML and shit switched to e pack for capping and everything because it was just noobed down...i really can't even explain why it happened...was it vanila or some shit? Everyone started using epacks again when the real comp died..
basically. vanilla's retarded shield pack made it useless for capping in light. the majority of players that were left after base comp. died didn't know how to fucking chase down a capper. those that did (mostly players from motb/res and osis) did so quite effectively. most of the beml teams/players of the seasons 5-8 wouldn't have had a chance in base competition.
this isn't really a flame on vanilla; moreso an observation that there were HUGE differences between base and vanilla players/teams. the alterations to the shield pack and grapple changed the gameplay alot. the absence of vehicles also kinda changed strats and gameplay as well. i never really cared for vanilla for obvious reasons. there really wasn't much of an alternative though aside from just dropping the game.

base competition would have rocked alot harder had SOME of water bottle's modifications been in the game from release.
esp. the nonreg fix.

yeah it made no sense to use shield pack in light in vanilla... they nerfed it like crazy
lt was cool but i felt that besides scrims it was annoying as fuck to go on offense because everyone would just sit back and spam the flag and on pubs for like a 6v6 game you'd have 2 people from each team capping and 4 defenders. but in matches/scrims lt was a ton of fun, i probably had a lot more fun with that than base or vanilla. base was really homo on some maps because whoever got the HO advantage won usually.
and klip was really well known early on... that dude was unstoppable on emerald. i remember him doing a crazy route by grappling onto that little light pole thing next to the flag. i know a lot of people try that but i've never seen anyone slingshot off that as fast as he did. i didn't play with him too much but i do remember people said he was kind of not so great on some of the bigger maps, but whenever i saw him play he was really good.
also powdahound from vup was pretty solid, he's the first one i saw use the rocket pod thing to clear the flag.
and while we're naming people i also want to say f!red was pretty fucking badass. Post edited by confidential. at 12/4/2007 9:42:39 PM

Soku was by far the best sniper in the game, but he quit and went to go play halo, i remember we used to have sniper only fights and he would get 90% of his shots to land... he even used it instead of cg when he chased and it worked
Stfu peng any1 u know is not the best sniper in the game
honestly i think Shazer on cobra was so fucking underrated
that guy could pick anyone off with a sniper.
he was the best. and underrated imo

yeah... both f!red AND h!red... ALOT of moc guys were underrated. hell just look at crzuki... his capping was comparable to slake's. i don't remember anyone giving him props back in base. then again i don't remember him capping alot back then either.
so many good players underrated. yeah savage was pretty tough. I remember giving him alot of hell back on Type-Dominant. When he played for VF he tore shit up though. granted it's T:V, and anyone you talk to from the tribes players about T:V players will probably laugh at you... but eh guess you had to be there to get it.
ah well. time to go shed a tear and masturbate furiously.

White was not underrated.
He just wasn't that good.
Also. I definitely think that Jordan was pretty much an unstoppable force in LT.
Regarding any new players, I would have to say that Warhawk is pretty damn good. He is the best player I have seen on any teams such as NXA, VA, RD or whatever.
Warhawk played, NXA won. (Usually.)

anyone who cannot perform in a match situation i wouldn't consider underrated. More like underskilled.
A large number of the players in this thread would fold like a deck of cards when it really "mattered". Without mentioning any names, i'll just say that i consider many of the people on some of your lists as pub-stars/dueling wannabes, and nothing more.
flame on.

i would also like to put devastation on the list along with kobayashi
dev didnt get the points, but he got the sensor kills, catipult kills, and clutch flag carrier kills as needed.

I cant believe you people havent said poleman yet. You guys obviously havent played this game enough to see that he was the truly superior player.

Are you serious?
Lawnkninja was mediocre at best.
Severin is much better.

i was one of those people who fell apart in matches that mattered, but at some point my balls dropped and it was just like pubbing again. then again, those matches that mattered weren't against anyone like 5150/22. eso let's play.
zer0 is right. playing in base was so much fun b/c it was so hard. my skill dropped dramatically when it went to vanilla. that and i took a break for a good 3 months or so. and of course, i was playing with people who were phenomenal back in the day.

i don't have it installed tearis, and i'm fairly sure there wouldn't be any servers worth playing on anyway.
I'm wasting my time on CoD4 these days, and a little tf2 when i get the chance.
