I have had a lot of good games with a lot of people, but I think it is time for me to stop playing C&C for good. I did want to go out on a high by winning some sort of tournament, but with the imminent closure of gamespy and given how hard it is to find a game I don't think that is going to happen.
Logging onto TW these days makes me sad due to its inactivity and I think games should be there for you to have fun with and not making you unhappy. In order to find someone good on TW I have to invest too much time hanging around the lobby waiting for someone good to come on or playing people who are not a challenge which again makes me bored and frustrated. Because of this, TW has become a massive time sink for me and I have been neglecting my other interests. This has been making me become withdrawn, depressed and (after playing a lot of KW) angry. I do not like myself when I get this way as so the only thing to do is to stop playing.
I have enjoyed playing with a lot of you guys, enjoyed some friendly and some not so friendly rivalries with players so I don't want to leave without saying bye as I feel a lot of you have come what feels like good friends.

So yeah, bye guys. Was fun while it lasted.
I don't blame you sh0ck. I feel the exact same way when I log onto TW. Due to the vast skill level differences, its hard to find equal-rating players on TW anymore. Plus players like me lag like crap. And we always know how frustrating it is to keep losing/ winning, with absolutely no sense of achievement/gratification.
Wish you the best of luck and happiness pursuing your other dreams, go out and do really enjoyable stuff, really sucks now that i think the only thing I do best these 2 years, during conscription, is just C&C. Your statement here is a wake-up call for me as well.
I feel ya, Sh0ck, times certainly aren't the best. But, since we probably can't convince you to change your mind, I can only wish you all the best in your "neglected" interests.
Just promise to stick around the forums and help and and what not, maybe play in tournaments pending the results of the gamespy scenario. Perhaps one day there will be a game that is new and you enjoy at the same level cnc3 brought you, and perhaps that game will be populated with players on your skill level. until then good luck
Hmm sad to hear Shock, yea i got the waiting part, at times i would chill and talk with you in lobby's to pass time and it seemed like it took forever. With so many players already inactive in Tw it seems like the best decision, here's hoping Cnc can have a revival in a new game.
Pity that you leave, Sh0ck, but it's your decisions after all. Thank you for being with us as long as you could, and for all the great work you did for this section and game itself
It is very sad to see, the game I have loved and played for so long heading toward the end
Shock you could at least keep playing until the end of the month when it looks like the end anyway? At least this way we give the game a good send off.
My replay collection is mainly wins apart from a few important losses. Tbh there were a lot of wins I didn't bother saving because I won easily at the start so there was nothing really to learn from them.
I always watched losses, made notes and then deleted them whereas with wins I would keep them for reference to see what stuff worked in match-ups/maps I was struggling with at a certain time.
But yeah, I thought since I'm no longer playing I may as well share the most recent ones with others for their enjoyment. I think I will still play in the upcoming TW tournament, but I don't think I'll be bothering to practice. May as well play in the last tournament before gamespy shuts down to see if I can go out on a high
