Here is latest comment received. Is this the consensus? Anyone else experiencing or seeing these issues? Dogs and artillery fucking up everything now. 24 people on last night and they all want the dogs and artillery turned off and I'm saying turn them OFF Please. The Dogs freeze the whole game and cause major Lag. I told everyone to text you and that I would ask you to remove those apps. we had to skip 4 maps last night because only the super big maps would let us play once some one used the dogs. The ones using the dogs were averaging 6 to 10 kills because the team couldn't move to fight back or run away! The worst was the fact we had to skip the best maps due to the LAG !! The second worst was the artillery was too accurate every-time it was used average kills were 8. So with the 80% saying they played on this server mainly because it didn't use dogs and artillery. At one point there were 19 people in spectate when no admin were on line so we could get the game to unfreeze and for 5 min we all ​were talking and everyone agreed " Remove Dogs and Artillery" or they are ​going to stop coming back to freeze tag and these were all "<XI> members !

Do you recall which map? Anything in particular about the dogs you don't like or just just don't prefer in general? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Hi and Welcome to the forums.

Comments from another player last night: "First you need to remove the dogs They are Too Aggressive and are causing M A J O R L A G !! we hate them. The team the dogs get called on get total freeze up and lag. The team that call the dogs up don't freeze or lag. also it takes 20 to 30 rounds to kill one dog and when you don't kill them they keep attacking your face non stop after your frozen until they wear out the attack and they don't run off or die they just disappear after 5 min. Of the 24 people playing 17 hated the dogs, the others didn't have mikes or didn't speak English we have a lot of new bees lately. ​KEEP the artillery everybody thought it was great"

I think we really do need these.

Congrats jay.

Good morning all, This week, we have the following maps in play and the Downloader has been updated. mp_1078carentan mp_82ab_chateau mp_82ab_richemont mp_78gaperon mp_78kwai mp_barracks mp_beltot mp_bocage2 mp_gb_atami mp_cw_pacific mp_dundygrad mp_feba mp_crossroads mp_vm_brecourt mp_hurtgen mp_jungle mp_lolv2 mp_matmata mp_pds Additionally for this week, we had a request for a game play change that we are going to try. Artillery & Dogs... That's right, put on your helmet and cover your ass! With this, there is a challenge with freeze tag play so here are the settings I have set to try and not make this change over powering of fun and fair play. Artillery - 5 kill streak - a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; this way in case of a couple of dominant players, it's not raining shells to provide the opposing team the chance to thaw - no announcement to the other team - kills by artillery will not count towards a kill streak - a 10 sec delay at the beginning of the round Dogs - 7 kill streak - a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; again, to allow better chances of thawing - no announcement to the other team - kills by dogs will not count towards a kill streak - a 10 second delay at the beginning of the round - dogs will remain active for 2min - a total of 6 dogs will be called with max of 3 dogs alive at a given time If you like or dislike, please comment: 1. Does this not work or is a particular map not suited for this change? 2. Are dogs too tough? I can reduce their health if they are. 3. Do we like artillery but not dogs or vice versa? We don't have play with both changes. 4. Any other issues encountered, changes, or just in general. Cheers all and run fast. Merlin

Thanks. I know what you mean. The setup time for some can be a turn off which is why I love the Pod. I don't have a large backyard but I had the opportunity to get this so I made it work. For me, it makes the experience that more enjoyable just because i don't have to setup and take down. And to note if you can't see it, the scope is mounted on a 6" steel tube that is set 3' in the ground so no tri-pod legs to trip over.

Happy Birthday Viprz! Hope you had a great day.

Ok, db_snowypark already in the FT rotation but not mohdm6 so will check this out.

Think you right Hunter. I recall db map but not the other. Will check it out. Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ya and i don't really want an app butting in in the middle of a conversation or chat. That would get pretty annoying after a while i think. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Tried to manually load map earlier but did not do anything. Brought up console and error message said could not find map. You try, maybe I misspelled or typed it wrong but wouldn't go for me. Played it on DM2 and is a nice map. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forums Eastcoast.

Thanks Labob.

One of my latest shots of the moon. Still playing around with camera settings but turned out ok. Taken with my Canon T5i mounted to my Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope using a t-ring adapter.

Had a recent storm and got a few pics from my front porch.
