I did not investigated this... but i bet a beer the guy does not have the right map and did not typed /getmap for some weird reason.


Sebacious... let me comment your comments:

1) Filling the map with armor reduces the amount that skill factors into the game (unless you count remembering to pick up armor as a skill). This is because it makes it impossible to strategize as to how much it will take to frag an opponent.

In some level I agree. I did not liked to see the maps filled with helmets... I think the servers should auto-block if there are too much armors in a small area (some maps have 4 helmets + 2 armors!!). But I think the armors+helmets increased the level of the game... now you are never sure if you will kill an enemy with sniper+2xpistol or you will need something like sniper+3xpistol+nade. This augments the value of the skill.

2) Nerfing the sniper leaves smg as the only viable weapon for small-sided matches. The lowered kick on the AR, is nice, but it makes it the same kind of weapon as the smg. Perhaps I'm alone in this, but, I want my sniper back -- I'm bored without it.

The only change over the sniper was to reduce it to 80 of damage, forcing the sniper to do sniper+pistol+pistol (which was balanced by increasing the accuracy of the pistol). So, I do not understand your point here.

3) The carbine could work, but you need to decrease the time between shots by about 5 milliseconds to make it viable against a pro with an smg. (also, does it have to sound like an air rifle?) Alternatively, if the carbine could HS, that might balance it as well.

I do not understand how 5 ms will help in a 700 ms for attack delay...

4) I can't believe you're rewarding people who run through maps like ac_mines with a shotgun by giving them a gib for full shots. I would have reduced the maximum a shotgun can do to 99hp. Then the noobs could still have the satisfaction of running up their frags, while still giving the rest of us a chance to run by them when starting with full health.

In some way I agree here too... but the main reward is a visual effect. If we remove the gib, they will continue to kill with one shot... but imo there is more sense to gib if it is a "one shot one kill" in fresh spawned targets (100hp).

PS) I do like what you've done with the nades.

Tbh, i do not like it too.... but I like it much more than the previous system, since now we disrupted the nade spam.

1. too much armor.

agree

sniper is really a unusefull weapon.

disagree... to the good sniper, it is the same weapon... to the random unskilled player, all weapons got "harder" to handle due to the extra armor

how many said: if you don't hs, you lost.

disagree... dodge, run and change to pistol, nade or knife... good snipers will "pwn"

i think Sniper and smg should be like in 1.0.4

sniper is quite the same... smg is a bit better

the most powerfull weapons,

disagree... you are defending the unbalance between the weapons

or just same good like AR or shotgun

now they are quite the same.... the weapons are better balanced now
