I played much since the year -2009.
this nice old game is filled up with fools and abusers and it becomes all the time worse.
It became more or less "fools arena" in the gaming-world.
Worst server-provider of them all is POQ-clan and the mupp Technut behind that.
All kinds of cheat seem to be allowed.
And unsporty antigaming like blocking a port in a cave with a tank.
Then shooting trough the wall and also using the addon blue walls or similar.

Used this game this long time as a contrast to Chess.
And gaming in general for some fun and keep the brain alert.
Never play only one game, its no good for your brain.
The result of that problem can be notet in POQ-clans maps, often named with a "!".
Dont feed that misery.

Very clear that most hackers/wallers/cheaters in general found a good place for the "work" in POQ -Sidewinder.
Cause that map was sailing up to be the most popular.
Before it was ashclan27 Danger canyon, ans absorbing the abusers.
There is NO admin in there checking things in a serious way.
Mailing with another old gamer like me, OJO, in Norway.
Same experience and stopped playing some months ago cause of all "idiots" as he nemd them.
I agree.
Today 26 febr -24, a very clear waller played with a ping 40 ms.
"El Sat" -For me a new nick, probably a nickchanger.
Time around 1.45 pm Stockholm.

Again:
Old nice game is much worse cause of abusers and no serious admins.

this problem has continued and evolved so that Halo 1 and CE have become pure playhouses for cheaters and stalkers, team shooters and all that shit
POQ / Sidewinder takes the first price in beeing destroying this nice old game.
Tec-nut should do something else than letting this continue.
