The worst thing is how the IDF is always accusing the Pallies of being hackers when everyone knows the IDF are ten times the hackers and are constantly running hacks and scripts and poo poo.

(I am using hacking as an analogy for war crimes because both in scope and quantity Israel commits more war crimes against Palestinians than vice versa even though it is often presented as the opposite.

The IDF team always whines to the admin about the other team using hacks and cheats to win the map.

I guess they are really mad about having a worse 1:800,000,000 K:D ratio in the past.

It's actually a total gamer myth that IDF beat those clans from an underdog position - except for the first bout they had numerical equality and equipment superiority in all fights. Against Pallies they have always been superior in everything. When they fought an enemy inferior in all but motivation they rightfully got their asses kicked.

Who cares? Not like the ranked servers run Punkbuster anymore either.

(The joke is war crimes are a part of war, and trying to constrain combat to be something not horrific is laughable and just causes more political and humanitarian troubles, when a swift execution from above via unrestricted carpet bombing and artillery barrages allows a clear victor to come out and make the world a better place by moving on, reducing the populations of nations who cannot support their numbers with proper infrastructure and resources, and not slap fighting about meaningless talking points on the internet)

(He's right, the best way to make a war an ugly drawn-out affair is to try to fight it all nice and clean and tolerable to western values. The only war crimes with any meaning are war itself, and not committing 100% to victory without regard for any other factors.)

Yeah, but the "one" was using a poo poo ton of perks, and the others didn't really like each other too much and weren't even on the same TS server, so it pretty much evened out.

Of course, the IDF has done some pretty underhanded things like intentional TK (USS Liberty), and crashing Iraq's server to keep them from getting the nuke perk.

IDF are a bunch of noobs who inflate their k/d ratio with pubstomps. Look what happened the last time they actually played another actual clan, they got humiliated because they forgot how to play against people who don't just spawn with rocks and makarovs and dont use teamspeak.

They may as well just play on single player

I wouldn't go so as to call them noobs, but yeah they do tend to take on some of biggest scrubs. It'd be interesting to see them take on some bigger, more experienced teams, but that would probably cause a massive server crash after they try to use the nuke perk they claim not to have, but everyone knows they do.

Well what they definitely are is stats whores too afraid to play against anyone who aren't scrubs for fear of losing their vaunted k:d ratio.

Tbh this game just got way worse after they added nukes, now everybody's afraid to fight another clan that has em.

Wish people still played the older ones, back in the day the mongol horde got a waaaay better K:D ratio than the IDF and on the whole they played against way better teams. IDF doesn't even have skull pyramids.

Lol, maybe in 1999. Are you still playing on a PS2 or something? We have asymmetric games now like Evolve and L4D. If you don't like it then go and play your Halo team deatchmatch noob, don't come whining or trying to excuse cheating when you don't even understand how the games work.

(Yes, because when we think of clean and quick wars we definitely think of the ones where lots of atrocities were committed because those always allow an early victory with an overall smaller loss of life. Modern international military law was invented in large part as a response to the needless crimes committed in early modern wars and it is fairly obvious in Israel's case that its war crimes have extended the conflict, the primary one being the whole ongoing occupation but even individual instances resulting in retaliatory attacks, breaking ceasefires, etc.)

IDF team is better since the weapons, gear and other class unlocks are more state of the art. Sort of sucks when you have to play as the other team that just has rusty muskets and bottle rockets for weapons.

Yeah, it's not their fault the other guys couldn't organize enough to even get on teamspeak. Also they can't help it if those scrub clans keep on trying anyway. Maybe if those guys would just talk instead of just trying a rush when they see other guys rushing then they could actually do something. This is especially true when they are trying to take the clan's base.

The IDF waited until the Gyppos and their allies were going offline to strike. No different than what GoonSwarm does. Yeah, it's a cheap tactic to spawn camp airfields, but if your team can't get their poo poo together to set up a decent defense in the first place, you deserve it.

I just really hope that all the clans quit using cheats and hacks. Those new ISIS guys are especially bad with destroying all of their in-game income. I mean, come on guys, you need that stuff to continue being competitive in this game. Blowing up your poo poo after taking it isn't going to get you anywhere and it's going to alert the other nearby clans to what you are up to. I've even heard that some of the biggest teams making strikes in ISIS's clan held areas because of them being complete dicks. At least the IDF guys don't try to pick those fights.

Edit: At least IDF doesn't do it constantly, not that they don't do it at all.

The ISIS clan is a breakaway from the old-school AQ clan. AQ was all about taking on servers on low peak hours, so they could claim victories without having to fight clans in full force. ISIS said "gently caress that poo poo, we're gonna wreck some pubbies." AQ was all like "Nah man, we can recruit from them." But ISIS was like "gently caress them, if they can't beat us, they ain't poo poo." So ISIS basically went onto the pub servers and tore poo poo up, collecting a few perks along the way. The thing is, they haven't played any ranked matches, so they're pretty low on the ladder. That's why when the US and UK started joining their servers, ISIS started getting pwnt. Now the Kurds are starting to ally their clan with the US and UK clans.
