The following are a few of the changes: - increase spawn protection time: Not by much but just a bit more of an edge to get out of spawn, beneficial to those open area spawn points. - enabled radar: This will add a little twist to our usual game mode, not so beneficial to campers so don't take this as punishment as I too do a bit of camping. This is more to urge some movement on some of those maps where everyone hunkers down. Radar is active after a 5 kill streak (not giving these away for free ) and lasts only 10 sec, just long enough to give you wink of the playing field. - reduced sprint time: Comments on some maps I've heard was how fast the other team got to a certain point or close to spawn so I reduced the amount of time of the sprint and increased the rest time a bit between sprints. - reduced bazooka power: A slight reduction in the amount of power so as not to destroy a tank with one hit or even 2 depending on where you hit it. After two hits, you can follow up with a sticky or help from a team mate. (ie team play) Any changes are not set in stone. The idea of the changes is just for a little variation in a game we all love and keep the interest going not that that is an issue as the server is busy quite frequently. Feel free to post back here your comments and/or suggestions, I won't take them personally . Between myself and @@deerejon , our goal is to continue making this an excellent and fun gaming experience. Now get in there and remember, have fun, it's just a game.

Because you need a 5 kill streak to get it, it only makes a dominant side more dominant, to try make it fairer I suggest taking it down to 3 and leaving it at 10 secs. I did notice tonight that it was 20 secs. Edited February 3, 2015 by skuzapo Awards

I spoke with @@deerejon today regarding this and he agrees as well about the advantage although he was on the loosing team so he's probably biased. LOL JK. Change has been made.

Finally I think radar should be longer than 10 seconds as I feel that such a short period has had no real impact on the game..... Personally I think that HEMPS bolt action rifle should now fire blanks and his ping brought into line with European ping and be at least 150-200..... Hemps and Morris 2 Awards

We can certainly revisit for additional time if we get more feedback to that but would suggest less than 20 sec. As for the sprint, will look into this as that does seem odd. As for Hemps, how about a sling shot? coolmd and Hemps 2 Awards

Personally I think that HEMPS bolt action rifle should now fire blanks and his ping brought into line with European ping and be at least 150-200..... Ok, I made a small change to the sprint time so lets see if that makes a difference. Also note that what you might also be seeing as I increased spawn protection by 1 sec which was done for those maps where you spawn in open areas making it tough to get out of. Lets see how that goes. Radar will remain at 10secs now. Thanks for everyone's comments. coolmd and deerejon 2 Awards
