I think it would be better if higher killstreaks were kept to Attack Packages. Getting an AC130 or Mininuke after three kills with Hardline is bull shit in my opinion. Granted, some people rarely get more than three or four consecutive kills, so I do not wish to penalize those who may not normally get higher killstreaks. On a separate note, I don't really like the bounty thing. Just to clarify, I had asked if snipers would receive bounites earlier today, and Bogleg told me they do not. Is that true? I certainly hope so, since not many snipers are mobile, unless you have a background in promod, like myself, but I enjoy being a stealthy sniper on the other side of the map, and I'd hate to receive a bounty because it would ruin the sniping experience. Otherwise, I run and gun with my shotgun, so I am not worried. I just want my damn B-2 Spirit! xD

If i was in a real situation were i had to defend or die i would not hesitate to shoot some one through a wall. and the complaints that are said about no way he should have shot me. there was a wall there do not add up. a bullet will pass through the siding , 2 layers of ply and the insulation of a exterior wall easily. the inside is usually just two layers of drywall. a good pellet gun will pass through that. @Scoarch: This isn't real life, you wouldn't be spamming a wall with an RPD/SAW in real life to get a +50 show up on your iron when you kill someone and that's a different discussion all together. I was pointing out that it promotes a culture of LMG spamming. I wall spam too, it doesn't bother me, I merely state that I don't think it's good game play. @Sammy: This bounty thing is annoying, very very annoying. Who decided that camping is punishable by humiliation? Critique - Anyone staying in one place more than 30 seconds gets tagged. I think the timer should be somewhere around 3 minutes. I was in one of those maps with the castle tower. I may move around, but until I jumped off the tower it did not shut up. Also, should it not take the bounty off of you when you have moved? @Randall: I have noticed that people with better KDR get better re-rolls or CPs in general. When I get 1 kill per every 3 deaths I get a shit UAV or Counter UAV too, well when I used CPs. So Kudos! Awards

I've noticed that if you use a Care Package at the start of a round that typically you receive an undesirable killstreak, etc, like Resupply. Does the timing of calling in a Care Package affect the outcome?

People that dont camp? Or campers? Anyways targeting is based on points not time. It currently requires a bounty of 50, which is deliberately low right now. Otherwise its just points to the other guy when he gets you. Next map the move time will be raised from 30 seconds (also set low for testing) to 60. All you have to do is move 150 units during that 30 seconds. Surely you can do that. Like I said, part of testing is to find out what works and what is missing. For one, because there seems to be some confusion, I am going to change the moneybag icon on the 2D hud so it only shows if you are actually targeted. Otherwise printline nofitications will tell you that the price has gone up. So if you dont see the bag you know they cant see you. Going to be uploading some additions late this evening, once I am sure they work, that will account for defrosting and being in an RC. Besides, if you want to snipe from a tower get a sniper rifle.

I don't have a problem with someone shooting me through a wall, if they see me. What bothers me is the random wallspray looking for hit-markers. Since the comparison is what could happen in reality, you don't get hit-markers in real life. That is the only time that I get annoyed at wall-spray. Moneybags: I don't mind the moneybags but think the time is a little low. I do like the concept, however. Some people tend to abuse map terrain to get themselves hidden for a full map, and never move. The only way to find them is to spec them. My play style is to get behind the enemy and shoot folks in the back....I'm sure folks would like a moneybag over my head if I was camping "hidden" in their spawn with an MP5. If folks with sniper rifles are going to get a moneybag then the time should probably be set at 3-5x the amount of time someone with an MG would get. (e.g. - 90 sec for MG and 480 sec sniping) Awards

Yesterday again, 3 nukes in less than 2 rounds, and not a very larger map... Was not really funny... Ironic maybe, but not really funny. I'm not at all agree with cobra. I think that as tagger or player exe have nuke after a large number of kill. And I think having the opportunity to have nuke when your team loses, makes it possible to reverse the situation and I find it very funny ... I m here for fun, not to finish first. J would like to say that we are not the war on cod 4, but we play .... IDIOT: COBRA ...... LOL I gonna put a (real) mininuke in ur ass next time Frenchi :-). Mininuke should be not allowed on some minimaps, It ruins the game even if it's funny for the guy who's launching it ahah. 1 in 100 chance could be better Sammy. (and cars should be at 4 kills and not 3, sometimes there are more cars ingame than players... but it's another problem). Awards

But because its settings are above the defaults to make it more powerful that it should be for a hard core game. It was fine before imho but then the complaints were that it wasnt powerful enough and not fast enough. So now the damage is higher and the speed is lightening fast. Made them more attractive to set in the loadout. Same with the mininuke. Its current settings are higher than the defaults due to complaints. Like I said the RC most of the time only gets one kill. Not very good really since it requires you to waste one of the three loadout options. And with all the counter measures players can choose from its not a guaranteed kill either. Most defaults are generally set with a soft core game in mind but options to customize values. Meaning for example the RC would be against a player with 100 health. Keep in mind this is a server where some people get upset when they cannot kill an enemy with a single shot to the foot. YACCster 1 Awards

Especially now since you keep unplaced sentries through death. Knifing sentries is also part of the game. Cars can be annoying but compared to grenade spam it is nothing. Especially blind grenade spam. Funny how I hear so much about the cars but nobody suggests I should cut grenade damage and range in half. Awards
