I played in a match earlier at instanbul park, I thought I was doing pretty well setting a fast lap of 1:26.xxx, the other fast laps were similar to mine, 3rd place's fast lap was better than mine but I was more consistent than he was. 1st place however was a 1:22.xxx 3.5-4 seconds faster than ANYONE ELSE.
I came in 2nd, the guy that won got spun out at the beginning and was able to catch up to me and pass me. Not only that, he caught me and passed me and finished 3 seconds ahead of me WITHIN ONE LAP.
Just to disclaim, I did not spin the guy nor did I even try to, I noticed his pace was much better than mine and I didn't even try to defend when he flew by me. And it does indeed suck that he got spun in the beginning. But if you can recover from a spin and catch (and pass) an entire field within 3 laps, where's the fun in that.
This could have been a combination of the spinal tap suspension and corner cutting, as there doesn't seem to be a real penalty for corner cutting either.
I don't think it's fair to the people that don't know about these exploits yet. Or people that do know about them but choose to limit themselves to default settings and staying in the white lines in the interest of sportsmanship and the interest of the online community, who if not alleviated soon with some kind of patch will get fed up and stop playing.
I didn't stop playing CoD because it wasn't a true to life shooter, I stopped playing it because of people taking advantage of things that were included in the game but NOT very sporting. getting tubed across the map or walking over random claymores when you're used to playing a fair game like CS (one of the most successful competitive games online) loses it's appeal after a while. Same situation here. Even people in CS used exploits though, but at least there were dedicated servers where people could only use AWPs if they wanted to.
We need a way for the people that want to play fair to find each other and play together. Getting lumped in with exploiters rammers and cutters will ruin the entire community.
Guys that are used to racing clean and fair (these are the guys that encourage a strong on line community as well) will get fed up at people taking advantage of all of these problems and they will stop playing. then who are you gonna race with your stupid set ups, chicane hopping, and first corner destruction derbies
