Hi folks,

I concur with the RED drives. I have for storage a synology 4 bay NAS in raid 5 with btrfs file system. The btrfs makes things run slightly slower, but it's better at preventing corruption over time. I have a separate media pc that I use for the plex that reads from the NAS, but I have several people that can access my plex so I wanted something beefer than just using the NAS for hosting.

RC car doesn't blow up people with ballistic armor, you just get a hit marker. I don't use CP because they are unreliable, I don't like unpleasant surprises. Guarding the CP stresses me out anyway. 
@Sammy, the mini-nuke used to be OP then it was just nerfed in an attempt to make it more balanced. It's a very undesirable killstreak now. I miss being able to defrost from Predator, AGM, AS. I don't know why you took them out. I also hate that sometimes the map terrain will trigger that shit about not being able to get in your KS (car, predator, agm). It taunts you with that dorky message about trying to exploit the jump.
 

I think the writers problem is that GRRM didn't finish the books. They've been great at adapting the existing books, but don't really know how to write what's in GRRM's head.

Happy Birthday!

I have close to 1000 maps on my pc. I've tested about half so far with the mw2 mod and out of that 365 loaded and didn't appear to cause any problems, so there are lots of potential maps. Though how many of those are actually any kind of fun *shrug*

A few additions or tweaks coming up in the next couple weeks. Will see how they work out.
1: Raising bonus points for shooting bunnies in the air to 100. Doing this because many are using the fps exploit, which most either cant or dont know how, to jump like kangaroos. Dont want to prevent players from doing that, which would be difficult at best anyways, but to encourage learning how to counter it.
2: Hacker. If you have hacker (before you are frozen) and an enemy calls a defroster, the hacker will fool it into thinking he is a friendly and defrost him. No messages that this happened. You must watch your defroster and see who is defrosted.
3: Spawn protection. Too many people are using the 'quick raise' exploit to pop out of spawn protection and shoot someone instantly. There is also no counter for it even if you are really good. Looking into a couple options on how to do it but the jist is that the last two seconds you are visible with no weapon but still protected. The usual suspects here that do this will hate it but its a matter of fairness. Back in the day, good sportsmanship dictated in UT that you use spawn protection to find a place to take cover. Not use it as protection so you can shoot someone when it was over.  But as we all know, these days good sportsmanship is too often thrown out the window in favor of any exploit that will get you a kill.
4: As the smaw lovers know, currently they can track spawn protected players. An oversight on my part and will be fixed.
5: countermeasures activation time will be lowered a bit. This item was originally added, for among other reasons, as rc-xd protection to destroy it with emp if you stay within the protection radius. A double edged sword tho. You are protected but stuck there. Pretty effective which is why you only get one. However because the speed of the car is double than the default some have learned how beat the activation time.
6: some may have already noticed but using health packs, either on yourself or to revive, has been made faster to balance having to stand there defenseless to do it. So when you get infected with venom, use them.
7: Flak jacket made a little more effective against the car. Not full proof by any measure, especially if the car is near your feet, but will have better protection against cars at a distance.
8: If you lay down and hide in the middle of a corpse of a player that had venom, after 10 seconds you are infected unless you have combat medic.  Ok no I didnt do that one. But was a fun thought.
9: Currently the SAM launcher will fire back at an enemy artillery launcher after 8 seconds from its spawn time. Reducing that to 5 to make it more effective.
10: AFK players. Admins will always be the ones whether or not to kick. However if, on spawn, a player never moves even one inch he can still be killed but it wont count towards a streak. Also done for fairness since the AFK team shouldnt be penalized because someone is talking on the phone but wont go to spectate first.

Come join the Heineken group at PlayerKnown's BattleGrounds! 

You will love it. 

and bring back hoping into killstreaks!
 
Though there are some maps where you can't use your killstreak perks because it thinks you aren't on the ground
