Suggestions for a new server

[damnyoujones]

Hi there XI folks. I've been thinking about how great it would be to have a server that:

1. Rifles only, either bolt, semi-auto or STG-44.

2. No betties, no martrydom, no rocket launchers no grenade launchers. 

These 2 things would make for a great slower-action game that is very different from DM3.

Ok, make it happen. Pretty please. :)

good idea jonesy

bolt only used to be really popular

one little issue on our servers is there are certain people who turn down graphics to an unplayable degree to make bushes and ammo crates disappear and gain an unfair advantage

which they would love bolts only

but a server without rocket launchers and betties would be interesting

What? No Betties? What am I going to do then?

Hey there jones. I do have a couple of bolts only mods from previous setups, interest is usually short lived but hey, why not.

I have a server set now:  IP 149.56.146.79
This is strictly bolts only, no hand guns, nades, or any other killing type perks.
What you get:
- selection of the 4 bolt rifles (no scopes)
- option of bayonet attachment
- selection of 2 perks
(loadout will show handgun and nade but they don't work, there by default)

Oh, and there's throwing knives too.
The rifles are set high, 1 shot kills.

Maps running are just the stock maps for now.

Cheers

This is awesome, and thanks Merlin. I think bolts only is the reason it has been short lived  Almost no-one likes bolts (well except USS Mankind) that's why I was thinking specifically about semi-auto rifles and maybe the stg-44 would be a good compromise. 

That, plus the removal of 'nuisance' perks and weapons is tactical but still fast moving enough. I love DM3, but there when a few players are Larsin-ing all over the place it is just not fun.

Anyway, I'll take a look at the server you set up, and happy Sunday!
