Freeze tag Arty and dogs

[Aracefan]

Please get rid of the Artillery and dogs. I do not think they add any value to the game. 

[deerejon]

Thanks for the feedback. Trying some things...some may stick and some may hit the wall hard...

1) if you make the enemy DOGs a different color so we can tell what team sent the dogs I say keep them in if not loose them.

2) Loose the Artillery!!!  In freeze tag I consider it a major HACK if Artillery stays I'll quit XI. I have enough trouble playing the game without it.

If you listen to the way the game announces the dogs, you can very easily tell whose they are, you could even listen to your teammates that say things like "they are my dogs, don't kill them", but that's harder because the voice chatter is mostly filled with someone complaining.

Keep it the way the way it is! I'll be playing more now, thanks!

@White_Dragon, how about rat terriers and chihuahuas...….

Myself, I like them,  ‘once in awhile’  just to change things up.  Helps keep the game play interesting for me.

That was what my thought was....nothings ever permanent !!!

[Hunter1948]

Nothing wong with change once an awile I say keep them. Now as for @White_Dragon he has marty on and a lot of people don't like it but he likes to use it so be it.

[_GATOR_]

Switching things up is fun!! Might as well have a change of pace here and there.

[skuzapo]

I don't care one way or the other but they are pretty useless, attacking frozen players. Maybe setting max dogs to 100  will cause a "change up" lol

[White_Dragon]

Almost everybody hates Dogs and Artillery !!! as for Marty more than 70% are using it now!!!

The Dogs are Killing while we are still under Span protection while the Shield is up and you have not yet touched a weapon or become Visible. It happened to me twice in one game. Freeze tag Doesn't need  Dogs or Artillery. Freeze Tag is a total different game than Run and Gun free for all.

We have People that come in Like Real Estafa (Brags that he is a Professional Power Gamer and has played in and won big money in Las Vegas) he gets 60 to 80 kills every game and calls in dogs or Artillery every few minutes. which adds another 15 or 20 kill to his score. 

Dogs and Artillery are taking ALL the FUN out of the game. I spent enough time frozen without dogs and artillery and now you can triple that, tonight I spent more than 80 min Frozen in a 4 hour period because of this So called Adding more fun. FUCK THAT !!!

I quit playing on more than 20 C.O.D. WaW servers because of artillery and dogs and for the past 8 years I have been on The XI world of War Freeze tag almost every afternoon and night except for when My house got hit by lighting and destroyed 4 Big screen TVs and 3 computers as well as 4 power supply back ups, and I can tell you that No one has been on the server even half as many hours That includes Admin and MODERATORS..

Wait when did I say I was a "professional power gamer" - I don't even know what that means - or that I won big money in Vegas lol? I think people have been hitting up the rumor mill again. And using the word "brag" lol? Give me a break.... I only ever talked about my past gaming exploits once or twice in defense of people calling me a hacker. I also hardly get 60-80 kills per game and almost none of those are from dogs. To date I have literally never once used arty (no idea how to get it).

Haters gonna hate

You’ll figure it out...

But unrelated your defrost to kill ratio could use some attention

It's true, but it's ruff considering my play style is highly aggressive. If I have a chance to defrost someone I will, but I'm often alone in the enemy spawn or pushed too far up.

Thats not entirely true, you passed me twice in a tunnel tonite and didnt come back....but thats cool you were hyper focused. But try a bit more...it may help the situation...!!

I'm typically the same way. You'll always see me pushing and getting behind enemy lines. I thaw when I can, but often find myself out of position to thaw.

Just Kidding! I do miss playing with you in mw2. Why don't you play with us anymore?

Oh I super miss playing with you and the peeps in cod 4 but honestly the mod's atrocious hit detection ended up driving me insane. It's some of the worst oddball gameplay in an FPS I've ever witnessed; reminds me of when battlefield 4 first came out with the terrible net code. I still have memories of sneaking up behind someone and literally unloading a full clip without a single hit marker.

Oh and cod4 also erased my profile so everything is all fucked up, can't even find normal servers currently =(

[Icequeen]

I have cod 5. Dont really like playing it, but maybe one day I'll come visit ya there. I'd really like to see one of my dogs bite your ass haha.
