This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Theoretically that's how it should work, but it gets to a point where it just doesn't get that much more challenging. Like there's some sort of wall, I guess? The best way I can describe it is with an older game: Quake 3 Arena, if you remember that.
Like, in Q3A once you've absolutely nailed rocket jumps, nade jumps, plasma wall rides, and no zoom headshots across maps with the railgun, there wasn't a whole lot left to figure out for most players. There were pro's popping up, though for most people in most servers the wall was hit that a lot of players noticed as well at the time (if they didn't have 8 hours per day dedicated to it like Fatal1ty and the likes). There was a huge benefit to that though, through optimism the mods were very popularly used in quite a lot of servers. I used to really enjoy the ExcessivePlus mod, and a lot of players were on it (most people used it for trick jumps, and the constant health regen made it harder to kill others so it was a playground to practise your skill but rather fun too).
It's a shame the CoD team isn't into the modding scene. Maybe too much money to be had with yearly releases instead...
