We have returned to "Carl Lewis" mode where players can move so fast that they can outrun bullets and are invulnerable unless they cooperate and keep running in a straight line for a few seconds. This was introduced, I understand, to make COD5 DM more like COD4 Ace Mod (where speed works and doesn't make the game frustrating). Well, it is failing, as the weapons and their behaviour are completely different! The change has already driven one UK player away and, personally, it is sapping my appetite for it as well. I tend to drop by for a handful of games with the usual crowd in the "Breakfast Club" and not return later in the day now. 2) Inexplicably, when I play, a large white cross appears above my character's head making me look like Lord and Lady Whiteadder (see video below). This rules out any form of stealth and I can be spotted across a map! As this happens immediately after respawn, it is not a consequence of picking up additional health as has been suggested in the past. It actually looks like an old Admin's joke gone wrong (remember when we were "targetted for elimination" in the past with a big red arrow?) but, no, I don't think any Admin's left a joke switched on. I wondered if it was connected with my usual custom class but, having set up an alternative one, it is still present. If someone could please remind me where the MODs are stored on my machine, I'll delete and redownload the Acemod for COD5 to see if that cures it. In the meantime, if anyone has any other thoughts or suggestions, I am all ears...well, some ears and a big white cross on top! Thanks. Unchileno, Sonovabich and Hemps 3 Awards

Johhny Labob talks funny. He can't help DJ with the speed in his mod folder. He didn't say he couldn't turn the speed down on the server. This is the first time I heard you talk about weird game play since we changed the speed. You thought it was great. You read one post and now it's shit? WTF Unchileno 1

I won't even play on that one because the bullets are going nowhere near the person you are shooting. To tell you the truth the new DM speed is only a notch up, and really I don't even notice the speed increase. I have always had to lead high pingers no matter what the speed of the server. One of these days I would love to know what the white cross means. I have not heard anything I believe about it. It is almost like the symbol you get when playing CTF and you have the flag, but that is not a cross. It is weird, and I have only seen that one on the Ace mod server. Oh DJ, just give up the bullets, stick to satchels, its more fun anyway. On the MW server my bullets don't do any damage. If the person I am shooting at has camo on I get no hit registration what so ever. So, I have started using bags on that sever. Toss the bag at the run and gunner, back up, then when they charge you BOOM! They know they were owned! I love it. Unchileno 1 Awards

So in a manner of speaking it is what it is. As for speed the fastest cod5 servers are the FT servers then the MW server then the DM server. Thats the news at the bottom of the hours.

The difference is, 'Cat, one can shoot people in COD4 Ace Mod. Changing the one variable in COD5 has made it so much more difficult to hit with the available weapons. The reason is that, due to the high ping and the running speed of the opponent, they are not where ones bullets are aimed when the trigger is pulled. Even aiming ahead of them no longer has much of an effect. The disadvantage of higher ping players is amplified and the playing field is even more uneven than it is bound to be due to the laws of physics. Awards

I think my ping is about the same on both servers, so it has to be the speed, maybe I'm to old to keep up with the ace mod... Awards
