What this forum needs...

    Hi. I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but here's what I think this place needs to look more like the last site:
    1. Chat box
    2. A totally different background (preferably one from Left 4 Dead)
    3. A spam-proof and clean site (if it gets to the point to where it does happen, I could help delete it. (Unless I need to be an admin or something...)

    I could probably list more, but I think these are the most important. Especially if other new people come to this site. I know this isn't a priority for you guys, I'm just saying that this is a little bland... Oh, and good luck on the game progress!

    The entire forum style is a WIP, I've got very little free time. 

    These forums are as spam-proof as possible, and moderation is going to be ever present.

    Ya, it's so much more original to be copying another popular commercial game instead.

    That's not a start, ZPF. You were even making a game that combined Halo with another game, so why would you even think that?

    Nazi Zombies Portable? Conscript? Alpha Team Six? Gateway?

    Those are all games that use the Quake engine, are based on a game, but not Halo.
    There's also lots of Quake mods that are completely original too and don't copy any game at all.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Left 4 Quake is not a revolution in Quake modding. Sorry.

    @Duke: I was referring to the countless Halo psp's out there. Jalo, Solitude, Mexi's Revamped, and I believe there is one more. Don't think you're better than anyone Duke because your making an original game. Nothing about your game seems revolutionary, just another "FPS". I mean you can't even think of an original name for your game. "FPS" generic name for a generic game. At least all those/these games you mentioned take a slightly original route by not making another Halo remake. And being slightly original by taking several favorite aspects of the game series' and combining them into a single port for a handheld. Just because they/we aren't original doesnt mean thats bad. Gameloft, a popular game developing company for iDeveices, makes Millions of dollars making game remakes and spin-offs of all our favorite games.

    ZPF, you never include any reasoning to back up your statements. "These mods look like crap" "This game seems professionally done". You're entitled to your opinions, but kissing ass is just gross and looked down upon. Next time, explain how your statement is true.

    Ghost, 4 is not countless. By the way, the fourth you are talking about was another game named as "Jalo" and it got shut down quickly. I didn't even bother mentioning the two Dead op clones or Hopper's rip off of NZP(which is just sad).

    "FPS" is not my game. That is Nixtwiz's game. I have nothing to do with it besides making some comments on it. By the way, it's a lot better than slapping "Quake" into another game's name.

    These are games I started: Discord Super Nova
    And this is the mess I inherited from Trey: Modern Combat (formerly known as UrbanWars)

    The problem is not that you're remaking a game. The problem is that you're complaining about how someone else is doing the same thing but it's a different game.

    Where was I kissing ass? You are notorious for not having reasoning or facts to backup your statements. And i in no way said that we are professional. In fact it was far from it before I joined, and when I started managing L4Q I made sure to to bring it up a notch the best i could. But L4Q was so out of control there wasnt much i could do. Now that i got an almost completely different team things are better, slow but better. And I really don't believe in faking professionalism. You either are or you aren't, and if its just a hobby it really isn't important to be professional, I just like to enjoy it. 

    I used Halo as an example because there were more than necessary copies/ports/remakes. Not only on the PSP, but other devices as well. I'll admit that i ended up managing a rather embarrassing "iHalo" game. And it just seems that you Duke, have an issue with us because we are just remaking/making a clone of Left 4 Dead.

    And I apologize for thinking you had FPS, i was under the impression that you worked on it, someone even mentioned something like that. Oh well. Take my apology. Left 4 Quake, in my opinion is more creative that "Left 4 Dead Portable" or something else with the portable on the end. First of all it helps us on the front line of not getting shut down by not using a copyrighted name. Second we are using the quake engine so it just incorporates that.

    I never complain about everyone elseis doing the same thing but its a different game. Everyone is entitled to go out and try to develop a game. Even if you're Hopper and make sad games as you put it. Everyone starts somewhere. Left 4 Quake is only my second game I've ever made and managed. Its gona be rough, its gona be flawed. Just I ask you be a bit more understanding and a bit less offensive.

    That entire first paragraph was actually talking to ZPF....

    Everyone is entitled to try to develop a game. Yes (but you don't have to make it public either). But when you do make it public I'm entitled to give criticism.

    Yes, but not just straight up criticism, I'm sure you have high standards as far as your criticism, just be constructive about it and we'll work on it. I just get on the defense when you come here and it appears to be that you're just trolling.

    Getting back to the topic of this thread, here's a bit more of what we need: (Again, I'm not trying to rush anything) Actually, the only thing that comes to mind at the moment is a way to see what registered users are on, and guests. And then maybe make the white areas around the forums another color (such as red/black) Or Pink XD.
