even though i know i'm subpar to alot of you guys on 1911, the demos that i always tried to watch before matches/to learn routes were always Marko brothers, both of them knew all the tricks and had very competitive and laid back styles, each their own though. Then, for rifles I've always enjoyed watching beas, chicagolegend, and bewton play. All 3 very strategic and amazing rifles. Besides ryan on the heavy, i always enjoyed getting the chance to play with seveN on the heavy. Amazing calls, amazing aim, and all around nice guy. Propaganda was always fun to watch on le sniper also.
Also, many props to my 1st heavy partner MILO<3 for being the 12 year old of the community since you were 13.

Re: Your biggest DOD influences
Eternally 12, and all these new 12 year old's didn't have a hard time like I had back then. I would go into details on what was being said or done to me, but now it's not a time or place to do so.Blrsm wrote:Also, many props to my 1st heavy partner MILO<3 for being the 12 year old of the community since you were 13.

Re: Your biggest DOD influences
Nice post Corey. We should throw this in the NOSTALGIA forum thread as that forum is lacking posts!
Ok, so where do I start...
I started out playing on Mamma Jamma's 24/7 Avalanche pub. This pub allowed me to improve right from the get go. Lots of high end players and I remember one day watching ToMoDaK in spectator. I watched his every move with that kar98. Learning to pick up grenades and then throw them. Guy was a legend. He knows how well I speak of him. Hopefully he'll see this.
I then made my way onto the {GSR} Budz 2 Brew server where I learned how important teamwork was. I took the name {GSR} Benvolio and I made my way to the top of the leaderboards daily. Top frags, flags, you name it. Working with my fellow {GSR} soldaten to overcome the opposition on any map, you name it, we played that map. From dod_festung to dod_purple, we always won.
I then moved on from {GSR} to enlist in a realism unit called the |17.SS|. They were one of the first realism units to come to the myriad of units to follow. They taught me about leadership, how to lead my squad to victory. From setting up my squad in defensive positions, to leading the attack to overwhelm the opposition, that's what I learned.
After numerous name changes of the |17.SS| to the eventual downfall of the |2.FJR|, I believe someone from CAL noticed my abilities as a DoD prodigy. I remember my first scrim against SNOWMEN on dod_solitude. STEALTH was sniping in that tower and we could not get him out of it. Wave after wave we would get decimated by him. I finally took it upon myself to use the bazooka to get him out of the sniper tower. It was then my job to keep him out of the midhouse. Never once did we have stealth in that tower again. BAZOOKA POWER. Although I believe we lost the scrim, it was 40 minutes of fast paced action which I took a liking too. The way the game should be played.
I watched everyone in 12mans. Learned from everyone. Everything that was demonstrated in front of my eyes, I learned through countless hours of practice. Little spots on the map that you could peak, properly timing grenades, nade glitches, strafing, noscoping, double tapping crouch and then shooting, etc.
I guess I just have to say thanks to all the cheaters in the game. They made me what I am now. Improving my reaction times as they can see me through walls. Helped with my timing of peaks and my unorthodox style of play.
The one player that I can truly pinpoint watching is HABIB. No matter the situation, no matter the team, the guy knew everything there was to every map. He had his timings down to a tee. Knowing when to push, hold back, defend. He was always in the right spot at the right time. He determined how the flow of the game happened. He won matches by himself. Truly a DoD legend.

I've had a lot of time on my hands today and decided to make a productive thread on here for nostalgia sake and to bring some positive energy to what has otherwise been full of negativity and trolling between both continents for the last few days. you've just been kind of a trolly type of guy nowadays man, its disappointing. you were an awesome player up to about 2004/5 and do not play the game anymore as far as I know, yet still continue to pop up and throw unprovoked smack talk into threads when you see fit. I've always thought you were a good guy and player so, I'm doing my best to avoid directly insulting you but for christ sake no one said you had to read it at all, so take your complaints to the fl0yd ban thread where they're welcome. THANKS~ <3
If that was in regards to me, i thought it was pretty obvious i was kidding, obviously noone would list revo as an influence lol. I wasn't trying to insult you, i actually like your post and most of your choices. I mean someone could choose revo if you want an influence on what not to do lol.
As far as me playing, i stopped at playing alot at the end of 2005, played a tiny bit in 06 but barely, was gone up until last year when i came back and made 151/ bubbles, and remade deadbolt this season. So i've been playing for the last 3 seasons. I suck now, but i play. As far as the trolling, i make comments in regards to the things ive dealt with in scheduling all of our matches the last 2 seasons, i also was one of the few who didnt say bad shit to you in your thread about your brother being banned. Most people who know me take what i say with a huge grain of salt.
Also the ego stroking part, just because it's true doesnt mean it's bad lol. I guess wht i should of said was, it's nice that people are conplimenting others for once, instead of shitting on other people. I guess in my hurry to type it out at work i went with quick and brash, and ignored the fact that it could be taken badly.

Re: Your biggest DOD influences
Whoah, that's nice to read indeed. For those of you who might not know I played a little of the good era but given that I opted to play counter strike in a semi professional level I stayed for just a couple of seasons with the local team called d7. I used to follow nPg results and on the top of that I've always thought Day of Defeat being more tactical than cs, with six guys needing to be a the top of their nerves to overcome a tough situation. If you have a shitty round on cs you have many more to sort their play styles out. DoD isn't quite like the since you re spawn in a matter of seconds and have to take decisions constantly whether it's better to push, hold, rotate, camp, nade, flank, cover, etc.
That way, I've always liked teams, and therefore players, that had the ability of lead their teams into victory. I always thought that a team more disciplined tactically would just crush a team based on pure skill (at least on lan, where it really counts, with people standing right behind you watching you play, making you have that little tingling over your fingers in anxiety of a good play not only for your team but for everyone that hope for you dominate - or fail miserably - on lan). I'll list these players following corey's pattern, not listing anyone for the heavy class coz I don't usually heavy nor watched any heavy player demo - tpg disputes doesn't count haha. Anyways, here it goes:
Main inspiration for play style, decisions, positioning, etc:
Scott 'bleargh' Harris
For all the players I watched demos or had the pleasure of playing along side this fella right here exceeded in all always imaginable not only because he is one the nicest persons I've ever talked to in the games I've played but because his in game awareness and knowledge of where to be and what to do at exact times. I've saw many demos of him of leading x6 to victories. And that's why I say lead instead of carry. For me top fragging in this game is necessary but really not necessary if you have 6 guys thinking ways to lock areas down and cap out. This guy right here is the epitome of a team player.
Rifles
Rodrigo 'rodz' Mazurek
Austin 'nomis' Keller
Bryan 'dorito' DeRueda
The first two are natural fraggers, yeah, but they also bring a lot to the table in regards of aggressiveness. Rodz has a more explosive way of playing, trusting in his reactions almost like a cheetah patiently waiting for its prey gets near enough for him to start the chase. Austin in the other hand is because it doesn't matter how tough the match is or how far we are from winning, he remains focused in his game, remaining chill and motivated enough to help his team mates strive for momentum and consequently reversing the situation. Lastly but not least, I don't think I have enough words to describe how awesome is playing along side Bryan. Everything he does seems natural and easy to do, so it really motivates you to try perfecting that peek or that pre shot to the extension of regularity. These 4 are my rifle inspirations, with a great role in what player I become.
Sniper
Guilherme 'storm' Ricci
Dan 'scorch-' Schey
Corey 'JaGGoN' Marko
The first two are the most the methodical and orthodox players I've played along with. They took their responsibility of picking up a class that is usually used to hold areas and improved them to the point where, at their prime, they can literally lock their or any one else's area down effortless. I snipe every once and then and sometimes I have great results, mostly because both of them teached the difference between the shoulder peek and the regular peek itself. This is something that can only be learned playing many times, improving their reaction to the point of anticipating players paths. These guys always are the best for me of putting their scopes right in the player models really frequently. And now what should I say about Corey? The guy who picked up pretty much the lessons of all good players during his long career and improved their techniques to the point of literally know exactly what to do at the given time. I consider him being a Sniper coz most of the demos I watched from him where from him running around no scoping people at mid distance or even picking up a bar in the middle of the floor ending up getting a ridiculously streak with 2, 3 different classes. Oh, not to mention that I think him of a nice guy as well, with a lot common points towards life and world perspectives. Where are my mementos mang?? Haha
Third
Aziz 'ZiNgAuM' Camali
Jared 'toxinatoR' Mundy
My main objective when I play is help my team cap out as many times as possible. I adapt my routes and coordinate my pushes always aiming that. Though I don't feel glad for not having many streaks as most of you online wonders have I feel accomplished for having MANY winning cap outs, ninja caps and cap breaks that helped my teams win important matches. These aren't really movie worthy but I am the one who cares so it's ok for me. Aziz helped me understanding the game flow and how we need to adapt the situation pretty much every second, listening to call, using the minimap correctly, rotating, etc. And tox... Well, he is **** Toxinator, either the best player of this 'era' or someone who actually is better than ryanemo hiding cheats all this way long. LOL. These guys have me learn that some routes are sometimes more important than others, even though they're not much appreciated for not having much action (or frags) on them. Yet, hell of important.
