Take the target off my back maybe?

.

its not on your back a little bit lower than that

Thank you for trying out the mod and then commenting on your feelings about it. I always get a lot of people that see a change mentioned in the forums and have never tried it and say they hate it or it’s going to ruin the server and they’ve never even tried it. How do you know if you haven’t tried it right? I will look into the time it takes to get into a car again and see if it can be reduced, also will check out the spawn protection time after a I’ll streak. I’m open to compromise if it’s needed. There will always be something people are not happy about, I could change things that would make you happy but it would piss of another group of people. It’s a no win battle I face. I could run a different mod that other servers run that don’t have all the goodies we have but that would piss off a large group of people. I just try to make the server a place people can come to and have a good time without getting their asses kicked and not hav any fun. I’m trying to equal out the playing field a little bit that’s all. It’s not catering to campers or anyone. I’m just trying to stop the great players from getting a bunch of kill streaks and owning everyone because their invisible most of the time. I still have yet to get one video of a hacker sent to me, but if you go on the server you know what you hear. That’s what ruins a lot of the game for everyone. Like I said above I’ll look into some tweaks for compromise.

@Ruggerxi is right, you can never please them all and there will always be a group bitching and complaining. I'm glad I don't have a say in these things and I respect him for taking the time to do all this. But over the years the changes/updates that took place on the FT servers seem to came into life because people on the server getting owned by better players. Isn't that just part of life, you participate in sports/hobbies/jobs and there are people that you beat, there are people that are better than you and a few that absolutely kick your ass. The same people that are kicking your ass are worse in a different field, and if you would encounter them there, you would be the one kicking their butts. I played this game for 14 years now and became pretty decent at it (dunno about the learning curves of the majority of idiots here how long it will take to improve) but in my opinion, if there are any updates being done, it should be to prevent the mod from getting boring to play after all those years, with constantly the same perks/streak rewards etc. And that update came in some time ago (with the defrost car, heist etc. etc.). Even though I didn't really like that update to begin with, it changed up the game and I started to enjoy it more again. This update (as many before) just seem to be born out of the frustration of players who are (simply said) just not good at this game and never will be, even with another 14 years of practise and 312 more updates they can come up with personally. Maybe it would make more sense to be able to hire a psychologist for an x-death streak to cope with the fact you're a bad player, rather than taking away the killstreak rewards where players fight for ingame and due to a lot of practise and required skill over the years, benefit from and win games. But as I said before...as long as an update does not force me to move ingame, you won't hear me bitching

Sadly it's true though, instead of occasionally visiting other servers, I now occasionally visit ours, and what is even sadder is I'm happy again?, never thought I'd say that.

This is a very good point. Often, when an enemy turns into a car, will be passed on so the team knows that there will be an enemy appearing in that location after the car explodes or timer runs out. The smart players know damn well that they are getting intel'd, so they use that 5 seconds to get the hell out of there to not be ambushed and have time to have their weapon ready to fire before they get shot. That's now gone. The ability to play smartly and use tactics is being diminished or even removed in favour of players who want to sit and camp. I love how you make it seem so simple. Try running across the map to find a safe place to hide before turning into a car. Odds are you'll get shot before you get there. And then you'll have your killstreak stolen by someone with the heist perk. Do you know how you get to a safe place without getting killed? SPAWN PROTECTION!!! I don't know how many times I've run into enemy spawn and died just to defrost a teammate. It's the most unselfish thing you can do in the game. I'm not looking for a pat on the back or anything, but I sure as shit don't want to have that ability nerfed. Bottomline for me: the players who play a smart, tactical game, defrost teammates, and play as a team are being told to adapt and change to accommodate players who want to hide somewhere safe and camp. I just don't get it. Since my first post, I've seen multiple people say they don't like the change, heard others in-game say they don't like it at all, then some who don't think it's a big deal either way, and only a few who think it's a good idea. Oh and Basil, who has accepted her position as subordinate to the almighty admins and is happy as long as everyone is nice and she has her wine. I'm down for a compromise here and think having 4 seconds would be a good middle ground.

Aside from all the trolling stuff I say ingame and sometimes on the forums, I decided to share this awesome moment with you (complete) idiots. Behold, the next best camping piece of *****(fill in lovely words ) turned one year old already today and I could not be more proud of her. She is literallly my everything, outshining dad in everything she does and she is already stocking up on tent supplies to kick your sorry asses butts. Had a great day, great weather, and more important...the best little individual on my side this entire day to celebrate her first birthday Hope you idiots/morons/lunatics have a great weekend and I shoot you soon

I never had a problem with this guy. Always a good player. Takes a beating and gives it back just as good. Thanks Merlin for lifting this ban.

@BlackDogs2 Apologize for the delay. After some review of when this ban was placed, and discussion with the admin team, we feel this should have been a temp ban at the time so for this time, we have lifted your ban. I do urge you to play with respect towards other players. We are not against some friendly banter or the odd jab if you may, but we don't want any harassment of any kind here and if an admin or moderator requests a player to cool it down, then I suggest they do. This goes for all players, members and guests alike. We welcome you to come play, we're open to everyone, but lets all remember, it's just a game. You should be free to play within the hour. Thank you and please follow our rules of conduct.

The smr is supposed to be the g36. Which it was until these supposedly self-proclaimed good players wanted their cheat gun. So any complaints, take it up with them not that it will do any good. The hk is the m4. Make the smr the m4 and the hk the g36, whatever floats your boat. Seems some still won't get it into their brains. This is not a community project. Most here did nothing but play it. Which is fine. It was never something I demanded or expected of anyone. Developers still have the final say. Whether it's free or you paid $100. Your stupid comment about me not playing? Leaving aside not wanting to be around the toxic people around. It was because I was using my limited time modding, testing, bug hunting, and maintaining. For you. The arrogance and self-entitlement around is staggering. I have been told that I was the only major cod4 modder still left. Everyone else got sick of the selfishness among players and clans and left. In any case, there are a lot of posts here that need to be copied and sent to all the former modders around so they can have a good laugh.

Make it not so dag gone easy to wall spam?

I do not like 2 seconds. It takes me at least a second to orient myself when I come out of a Killstreak (I'm old and often confused ... lol.) 3 will be better ... 4 seconds was suggested in game yesterday and several thought that would be good too. <rant> I still don't understand the motivation for the change though. Was this to slow down 'good' players or to make bad players better? I don't get it. My issue is that we have a handful of players that are SO 'good' that they can somehow kill people at 3x the rate as the rest of the regular good players on our server. (And don't get me going on how many kills in a row are headshots with some of those guys ...) I hear you when you say make recordings, but those are from our perspective only and virtually useless in discovering anything other than vague suspicions. I trust the admin team is doing 1st person specing and recordings ... hopefully with other game persona's to hide the fact that an admin is in spec mode. I have mentioned the few things that I've seen from my perspective to admins here, but never hear anything back, so not even sure if they are being looked at. Man ... PB days were amazing! We caught so many cheaters in those days. Wish we had that tool back. Anyway ... </rant> Will give the 3 seconds a try this weekend. It probably won't hurt/help my game much as I don't normally use killstreaks to move my position. Choosing where to change into a KS will definitely come more into play. All this being said, thanks for all you guys/gals do in creating this mod and tweeking it. I really do appreciate all the hard work and thinking that goes into it!

Jealous?????

That one second will make a change considerable enough that the original whiners will once again shed tears in your direction. I like it.

I was going to comment on all of this since its out of my hands now. However, you dont know me. You dont know my motivations. Also, too many people seem to have zero clue whatsoever about the definition of fairness. While I had to think of everybody... and not just here or on this server... they think about themselves or their little cliques. In the end, this is MY mod and MY dedication of work, over years, and nobody elses. If anything, my mistake was making this a clan-exclusive mod and having any discussions with anyone about it. Instead I should have just made it and uploaded the server packages to some website. After that, I would not be interested. A mistake I will not be making again. Have fun all.

I added 1 sec of spawn protection after a killstreak

I mean it's not that far fetched, I do it else. There's always some clod who's managed to get himself frozen there I run over there, yeet a couple EMPs around, hope for the best, cry if I miss

I'm right there with you on this. I'd rather play another server, but that server is only populated 3 hours out of the evening and I work nights, so I don't get to play there often as I would like. I need to find other servers that stay populated. This current mod has ruined the server in my opinion. It use to stay full well into the morning hours on the weekends. Now, it is empty by midnight. For me, the heist perk, trophy perk, time it takes to change to a car, and now the limited spawn protection after being a car, and several other issues not addressed, make this mod absolutely terrible.

@ShadyBrady it really IS that simple. You telling me that you run into hostile territory just to defrost your teammates? I'm calling BULLSHIT lmao! OK so far there are 3 people out of 30 that don't like the changes. Majority wins WOOT! !fu Buttman lol

I'm married to a woman like MajBasil, gentle, caring, not a bad bone in her body, trusts everyone and never swears or says anything bad DRIVES ME FUCKING NUTS

all tho it is a good idea it also makes the spwn protect useless freezetag was the most fun when your down in a corner the other team putting presure on you but one or 2 smart players using the spawn protect to free their whole team a win like that is priceless. you talk about less skilled players maybe in killing but there are more skilled players using the spwn protect to unfreeze their team that knife cuts on both sides.

Please Welcome HELLSPAWN To Our Clan

That shit fucked with my biscuit for a quick second; then it surprised me, making sense as I finished it.

Well, with such a large population, you're gonna have a LOT of dumbasses running around. On the bright side, there's plenty of money to be made & plenty of room to move around. You can easily move to small-town America, still earn a nice living & reside with people that hold the door for each other more often than not. You choose well, become accustomed to people waving as you pass them. Don't watch the news so much, either. There's a nice quality of life, especially with ineffables considered, to be had here; just most people are too busy being angry to actually live anything near their best life. Too easy.

Yeap. I'm just using your own words here, Rob (from Sikon's post which started all of this): Cheers, pal.

You missed a 0 out buddy, think you mean 30 ?

After being gone for a few months I played and it's ok. I do want to try it longer then I will let u know what I think.

had to google... funny

@FunkyJosh>XI< @Exe Just use the anti heist perk

Hi all, looks like 'the getting in the server' problem is back!! people if you cant get in message an admin so we can re set the server, one of us will re set asap. lets try and keep the server flowing while the issue is back

Whoa whoa whoa... I know I'm still kind of new, but is this how you do things around here?! You posted this topic...21 hours ago??? Is that all the time you give for everyone to see your post and respond to it? I'm just seeing this now. This is a big change and I'd think you'd give at LEAST a few days for people to see the post and respond to it. Before I start my rant, let me preface with a few notes: 1. I am fully aware that the change you implemented ONLY affects spawn protection from killstreaks, NOT direct out of spawn at the beginning of the round or after being defrosted. 2. I use Combat Medic and am 99% sure* they do NOT get extra time added to killstreak spawn protection, ONLY direct out of spawn. For killstreaks, it is 5-6 seconds for everyone, no matter what perks you use (*please correct me if I'm wrong here). Okay, on to the rant... This is in response to Sikon's thread about nobody playing late at night ("Hello, Hi, How you doin'?!"). RobMC chimes in, saying many have left because the server has been overrun with hackers. He believes they can add extra time to spawn protection to help them get kills? (never heard that one before). Then Jester mentions how spawn protection after using the RC Car is part of the problem (WHAT???). TL;DR: Sikon: Hi! I can only play late at night, but nobody is on anymore. RobMC: There are too many hackers now. On top of seeing through walls, they can add time to spawn protection. :( Jester: Yeah spawn protection from RC car is the problem. We should get rid of it. Rugger: Cool. Will do. So to fix the hacking problem, you want to reduce spawn protection from killstreaks?! Stating the obvious here: this is a team game with an emphasis on defrosting your teammates and good communication. The team that defrosts and communicates better tends to win. This is why I use Combat Medic 99% of the time and spend most of the game looking for frozen teammates on my minimap to defrost (and yelling at everyone to "GET THE HELL OUT OF SPAWN!" lol). On top of using the RC Car and UAV Defroster to help with that, I will use spawn protection to run to a spot that allows me to defrost anyone deep in enemy territory. This is literally the reason there is a Combat Medic perk - to have that extra time to get further from spawn/into enemy territory to defrost teammates. Another benefit of having that extra spawn protection from killstreaks is being able to infiltrate enemy spawn to take out the campers. I feel like many of the people complaining about getting shot in the back are the ones camping spawn surrounded by bettys or clays, waiting for people to appear in their scope. IMO, the two go hand in hand. ^THIS I'd ask everyone: if you're sitting there frozen and there's only one player still alive, who would you rather it be? The guy sitting in spawn, not moving, surrounded by enemies, waiting to get one last kill to pad his stats? Or the guy running his ass out of spawn, stealthily trying to defrost teammates to give you a second chance at winning the round? If you think making this change is going to somehow impact or lessen the hacking problem and bring people BACK to the server, I am sorry, but I beg to differ. It's only going to make it more frustrating to the players who are trying to help their team by getting to a safe place undetected to defrost teammates and take out campers. I vote to keep it as is. Oh wait...the voting is now closed.

Come play with me on the XI-UT2K4 Server... Death Match, Freeze Tag, Etc. I usually play around 8:00 pm EST, Most nights... It's a lot of fun to get away from COD4 once in awhile... Thank you Loco.. https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/149.56.146.64:7777

but thats the same thing last guy goes in to the car or any streak uses the spwnprotect to unfreeze the players many mtimes i lost and won a game like that 5-4 in the sudden death a game like that is priceless but hey you must have many many complaints by these not so skilled players for willing to change someting that is there for a long time. you should make some t-shirts XI Not so good players lives Matter

Reduced Spawn protection when coming back from a kill streak not the spawn protection that you get when you respawn from being frozen @Sikon you Idiot lol.

I know this is much more work but, IDEA: Instead of reducing the time, players respawn from a killstreak (or even death / new round) and immediately start to "fade" back to visible. Maybe with a Predator type cloaking that slowly reveals the player. But since the players can kinda be seen a little bit right away, they can fire right away as well. Just a thought!

Get ready for people with the heist perk complaining about not being able to steal as many packages because players won't be ranging out as far. Also, for me it's not so much about 5 extra seconds as just being invisible & being able to move to anywhere other than where I went into the killstreak reward before again becoming visible; the whole element of surprise thing.

I hate to say it but places like that affect far too many people into believing whats on them. Trump used to keep saying 'fake news'. To be fair there is truth to that. However he was very selective on what was fake and what was not. If anything was against him or his interests, especially personally, it was fake. Anything that supported him was truth no matter how outlandish and obviously untrue. His base never questioned anything pro-Trump, and would never consider anything anti-Trump, else they be ostracized even by family. And of course a great many anti-Trump people were the same and didnt question that side either. It used to be 'question authority'. That doesnt seem to be happening as much but does show signs of changing a little. Or at least too many wont question their own sides authority. But at the very least, it should also be 'question the information'.
