Ruthless

I absolutely hate the jump height reduction. The character feels fat as fuck now. Maybe its my imagination but it felt like it has already been implemented today. I didn't download any new files but when I started a map today it sure seemed like the changes were in place. I know everyone bitches about bunny hopping but there is a reason servers that can bunny hop are more populated than the stupid ones that take away the gun when you jump. If people are so fucking hurt about getting shot while jumping, then just go ahead and take away the gun when you jump and give us even more of jump. At least it is a compromise. Feels sluggish and slower. Muscle memory is a hell of thing when you've played a game this long. You get a feel for how a character moves and jumps. I can't wait until seeing all the tough jumps on roofs and such are impossible now because of this change. Limiting the vertical even more than it already is in this game. I'll play it some more to test the changes more but it sucked so far. ,,|,,

The emp blindness lasts too long. I could see keeping the electronics (killstreaks) disabled for that long but keeping the screen fuzzy for 20 seconds is over powered.

The attack car's health. Not sure what is going on but when I run around with an attack car I get destroyed immediately when someone shoots at me. But I don't seem to be able to do the same when a car approaches me. Even when I hit it. Are people getting headshots on my car or something in order to kill it immediately? The ones I drive around seem weak.

The car kill streak issue. Where it seems really slow and often you seem to die when you are in the car (usually a black screen). Also the explosions seem extremely powerful. Like everyone has sonic boom or something (I actually have never tried using Sonic boom to see if it gets really ridiculous but may tonight while tubing everyone). We've seen it to where a grenade will kill two people that appear far from each other. I concede though that because of the way it moves you when you die, it may also just be an a side-effect of dying (maybe it moves you further than where you were and I didn't notice the original spot accurately).

You are a true software engineer... BTW, If no one told you before - thank you for the work you put into this mod. You're right, everyone here probably has no idea of who you are. I don't. I only vaguely remember you from years ago when I was playing and you first created the MW2 mod. It was cool as shit and has given life to this old ass game over the years. As much as we hate to admit it, the game will die out eventually (like my beloved UT2k4). There will probably be a few that will always play but many of us have come and gone over the years of playing. I even took a 5 year break playing this game before. Remember the days everyone just ran around with the SteyrAUG (or whatever it was called)? Some of us got so dominating it lost some of the fun after awhile. But then it changed... and I believe updating and changing the mod over time will keep it alive. I believe keeping this a sort of 'community project' will keep people playing longer. Every change over the years has been loved and hated. Surely you experience this in your regular work too. Cannot please everyone. Don't let the people hating get you down. There is always a boss that had the final say no matter what everyone else wanted. If you would have kept the mod to yourself and not allowed anyone else in back in the day in I doubt it would have lasted this long with the kind of popularity it has had.

I did not think the shortened time was a good idea at first but after playing it seems ok. I would be in favor of either way. The protection after kill streaks was (and still is somewhat) very powerful. You could chain multiple kill streaks together and get anywhere on the map you wanted without any way to stop you. Pootie demonstrated the power of this with his 3 cars he always takes into overtime. He is probably one of the best strategic players in overtime because of the way he chain streaks together and uses them to locate everyone. Often he has thaw cars (that apparently don't blow up instantly like the attack version) running around just to scout in overtime. My two cents for problems: Like Sharpe said, when turning into cars you often die on a completely black frame. It is just too slow. As Sikon mentioned spawn protection has a few frames or something where you cannot shoot (even though you are visible). Took me many deaths to figure out that I was just dumb trying to shoot too quick out of spawn protection. If campers need to be nerfed then you can always bring back 'old' stealth where we can go through clays while running. I still don't think stealth has much of a use currently (BTW Hardwired is the perk to use to block EMP blindness)

He might as well be in the clan, the servers are in his basement with that 11 ping he gets. ,,|,,

Welcome shit bird!

Welcome ass-hat!

Alright fuck this thread. People just bitching about other shit as well - write your own damn thread. Do we want to make comments anymore about the mod or how to improve it? Seems like that is a BIG FUCKING NO -- ROGER. I didn't whine - wasn't bitching - just bringing up an issue and giving a possible solution. That was all. It was not supposed to be a fucking bitch thread. I did not want that and if you read what I wrote I don't think it was. I was just trying to point on an imbalance. I thought I laid out the case that the perk is useless and is not used much by anyone and a possible fix that wouldn't unbalance everything. But it obviously devolved to this fucking trash fire of a thread -- FUCK IT

@FunkyJosh>XI< the problem is that Hardline does not prevent EMP blindness - where the screen goes fuzzy. That is the worst part and there is no counter. As Hoth mentioned it just makes you sit there and waste time. I realize it is a slippery slope of wanting this and that and not liking this or that. I would ask this though - how many people use Stealth now? It is not that many because every other perk is so much stronger for some reason or another. There is actually a reason to use different perks now such as Heist and Hacker and reasons to change sometimes - which in the past wasn't the case. I like that part of the mod. But there is not much of a reason to use Stealth. If you gave it 'blindness' immunity it would not be overpowered and may give a reason to actually use the perk.

I run Hardwired a lot and it doesn't seem to attenuate anything like that. Same emp spam shit everywhere.

I think Stealth is underpowered. I don't know anyone who uses it that plays much. I understand not wanting to defeat all clays and Bettys while running but how about giving it some EMP blindness immunity to at least make the perk better. If you kept the slow moving stealth the same but gave it some EMP blindness immunity it wouldn't overpower the perk and also give some counter to the endless EMP spam that we run into each map. There is just no counter to EMP blindness. People like Midget, Pete, and Others use those seemingly defensive mines at offensive weapons throwing it into opposing territory. Then you just constantly trip over those mines blinding yourself the whole game. There are some maps where the only time the screen is clear is when you are froze because of all the spam. I'm sorry but my old eyes have a fucking problem seeing anything with when that shit is all over the screen. Then I end up just sitting around for 20 seconds (or more) doing nothing while waiting for the effect to wear off - if I'm lucky and don't die first. So if you don't want to give the old Stealth perk back can it at least be considered to give it some EMP blindness immunity to make it even worth trying again.

Hello again you old crusty fucker. BTW, don't make HELLSPAWN mad or he'll mess up the server - it is in his basement. Freaking 11 ping... I'd love to see what that is like.

" I play hard, never moan or complain..." Lol, mother fucker you bitch just as much as I do! Welcome and ,,|,,

So this has become a personal attack thread where I get accused and must defend myself. @Timmah! Have I left when you tried to steal a kill streak from me before? Have you talked to an admin about it? Could it be our history of bitching at each other makes you want to jump in like this? I have explained myself from the other day from Thunder's original crying. I did leave at that time for reasons I already discussed above. The only reason I know it was him is because when I came back the next map he kept crying about it to no end ALL MATCH until he left. Now since now that you are a witness for the prosecution, and bring up "4 other people commented"... Well throw their names out. I want a chance to defend myself to my accusers. This is bull shit. Most of the time I have Hacker on anyway and it is not an issue as you cannot get something stolen with that perk on. Other people in thread talking about how I bitch about the same types of tactics must be confused - "...he's always bitching about people doing it to him". I have never used Heist before as a perk. So I would not bitch about something that doesn't come up in my regular play. I cannot figure out why that even came up in this thread. Am I going to have to continue to address the forums anytime I make someone mad? Why don't you PM me directly if you are that hurt about this? Or talk to admins? Attacking my character in a thread like this is childish.

I can't believe I have to address this, but calling me out formally on the forums means that I must. First let me start by saying fuck you. You make me seem likable you miserable SOB. People quit all the time for various reasons. Just because someone leaves a map don't always assume it is just because you were trying to steal a stupid car or something. I really don't like this map rotation right now. Often at the beginning of the maps I'll play for a few minutes to see if I am on a dominating team that will make the map get over quick. So I'll run right over to the opposing spawn and see if anyone is with me or how the team is doing. If I suspect we're doing bad I will leave. I don' t give a shit if I have a kill streak or not. I did not return to the map you are crying about did I? - answer = no. I was waiting for it to get over. People have been bitching about this since the introduction of Heist. Ask Rugger to make the heist perk instantaneous instead of this non-productive gripe. Then you won't have to worry about it. In conclusion - fuck you. Thank you, Ruthle$$

Asshat won't be booted anymore when the server is full... shame

We all love you Snow White / Gothic. We've played with you for many years now across multiple games (even if some of us didn't realize until lately). Don't let anyone get to you. There have always been try-hards in all the games (myself included sometimes I am sorry). But especially I hope you get feeling better. If you want us to say something on your behalf in game let us know and we'll tell him to STFU - he will probably even listen. Its been great playing with you again and I hope we're still playing these dumb games together in another decade!

6 years! noob

FOLLOW-UP: Pretty certain the problem is on my side. Rather, on my ISPs. Another player from the same region (PNW) uses Comcast and he has been having similar problems. I was doing "tracert 162.248.95.178 >> text.txt" in game when I was starting to lag and found that many times in the middle of the routes I was getting time outs. They seemed to all be happening Comcast jumps so I'll get with my ISP and talk to them. Hopefully, they fix this if they are getting congested on their backbone routers or something.

For the past week, CIs that last a minute or two have been happening very frequently. At least once or twice every round and they can last minutes. I know others have been experiencing similar problems (at least they say they are). I've noticed that during these times my ping is fluctuating, but not always by a lot. Sometimes, it floats in the mid 100s, sometimes it will spike much higher. It is not consistent and I have felt the CIs when my ping was low 100s like it normally is (usually 105 - 110). I can record some of these to prove they are happening because I get a lot of flak when I whine about them - I know it is funny to see me struggle. I disconnected my mike for a until this stuff clears up so that no one has to hear about it. Imagine how frustrating it is for me to be playing well, running to their spawn, and then continuously dying because it feels like you are teleporting around and stuff is not where it is supposed to be. I have even started sniping a few maps because I cannot run-and-gun with these issues. I know a few admins have seen me lagging out visibly in game. I'll continue to look at my own home network but none of my kids seem to be experiencing any problems at the same time I am. Assuming the others are not bull-shitting, it seems to be happening to more than just me.

After repeatedly getting my killstreaks stolen, despite having the Hacker perk, I think I have pinned down what is wrong. 1.) If you are on a slanted surface, inside of someone else's bubble (trying to thaw), and die. Somehow you can lose the kill streak even if you have Hacker. 2.) If you change your loadout while you are frozen (switch from Hacker to Hardline for example) - and haven't respawned - it seems you can still lose the killstreak during this time. This happened twice today. *edited grammar and punctuation

FU, but you are kinda good at defrosting so... ,,|,, May the tubes rain down you on.
