I used to play cod2 dm all the time and got used to the mod and maps. I like the new one but not as much as the old DM. We don't have shotties and pistols maps only. The maps are ok, but there were maps on the old cod2 dm that were great and that are gone -hopefully not- forever. I would like to ask the adms if it would be possible to add some of the old dm maps to the current mixed server so it’s more balanced. I got the feeling that some of the players I used to play with at night are not playing as often as they used to do or are not showing up at all. I am not talking about clan members only, there were others who I haven’t seen for a while and that used to play quite often. Just my two cents, I don't want to come across as a whiner, just looking for a more balanced server... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The old shotties suck compared to the new ones, at least for those of us who are aiming and reloading challenged.

I like the original DM...not a fan of the area51 mod. And shotties only would be nice now and again. We played Cheesy tonight with the 51 mod and was nuts with 3 nades and a napalm nade at spawn - much better as shotties only for a map that size!

We used to have at least 3 or 4 players almost every night on weekdays, not anymore. I haven't seen former regular XI players like Pete, Airtimus, Van, Hoth, Viperz, RIP, Viral, Nick, Al, and many others online for ages, not to mention other non clan members like legionnaire, gunfun, leon, etc. Need to be honest, I am a bit disappointed. I am playing a lot of COD4 and COD5 these days but it is not the same. Blackbart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I am playing a lot of COD4 and COD5 these days but it is not the same. We are having a crisis with all these changes. The server is nearly dead most of the time, and we are still missing most, if not all, the people who used to play. Is there any chance we can get the old COD DM back?

I played cheesy just a couple nights ago and it was all weapons. I know some of you guys miss the old DM server but I think the majority of the regulars like the all weapons format. If most of the players continue to play TDM and if those of you who prefer the old DM are the only ones playing it, you'll quickly get bored and it will remain empty when nobody else shows up to play at the same time you want to. It seems like we're forgetting what it was like when Area 51 was the third server and the most popular. Now it's gone, DM is going back to the old format and I'm guessing that most of the regulars will stick with TDM. I'm not sure what the answer is but I think we're setting this all up to fail in the long run. Personally I enjoy playing where my friends are, no matter what the format or weapons are.

Of course he could also make all the players float into the sky, or make us look like a tree or piano too. All of his crazy little antics is what made it fun to play.
