Back to the original discussion. The current setting does not give you 3 seconds to move in protection. It might be 3 seconds from when your car blows up ... but there is that in between period where your screen blanks and then you pop back into your character. Actual time to move is about 1.5 seconds. My vote would be to bump it up till we have 3 actual seconds to move.

Confirmed. I played for about 2 hours tonight ... hopping felt normal to me. In fact as I practiced my hop/shooting skilz (yes, I still hate myself for doing this BS) I managed a game high score and kills. Of course, none of the 'good' players were on at the time. And it is not about strategy ... just hopping as much as one can which really sucks ...

Amen! The longer I play, the more I have to bunny hop to keep up with the 'good' players ... and I hate myself for it. It just makes the game about who can hop and fire the best rather than the accuracy skilz and strategy that should be inherent in freezetag style of game. My feeling is that the hop takes advantage of some lag time as from my perspective (on my screen) I literally see players hop out of my bullets that should have already registered as hits. I did some private testing with my son a while back and found the running hop worked but standing hop did not. I guess I should have recorded that. The point is that the hop takes place after the bullets have already left the gun and there is no way that the hop should be faster than the bullet. Again. I don't know @Sammy but I can certainly say that I appreciate all he did to make this mod and to improve it. Thank you.

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!

He's on perma-mute on my system ...

Hey All! Thanks for the welcomes and thanks to @AusiGirl and @Roxy! for the sponsorship. See ya'll in games!

What an ass ...

@Roxy!loves me ... Who is @wildthing Never heard of it. Yes you are a good camper ... headshots and hitting targets? Delusional. hahaha

Who are the 'world class players' you are talking about? If you mean pooty ... it's clear he is hearing and understanding everything, so I'm not sure why with him/her. We KNOW it's not Sourtap.

I've recently noticed choppers seem to be able to hit players in spawn protection now. I only noticed this when I began to run the lightweight and medic perks to get further from spawn. I'm wondering if the extra spawn protection of those perks is not recognized by the heli's? Its bad enough that the other team can see us 1-2 seconds before we come out of protection, but now the choppers can too? Maybe it's an easy fix ... donno.

I think the mini-nuke is good where it is at. On Sunday (I think) a player (!Lady) got 4 or 5 in one match ... as we continue to see players on the server that get 2-3 times the kills than our regular best players, making those weapons more powerful is only going to make the wins more lopsided than they already are when those players are on the server. IMHO. I've bailed a couple of times recently when those players visit because their kill rates are so ridiculous ... but I suppose that is a discussion for another thread.

I don't swing that way ... @Ruthlessneeds a boyfriend though. Try him.

It's more fun jumping onto your thread though ... Do NOT take anything I say personally ... I will still call you hax and bitch and noob ... and you will still laugh at me from the top of the leaderboard. All good?

" newsflash the hitbox of the target remains the same." Wrong.

Ruthless complaining about EMP's when he spends half his time tubing and hopping around the map. There's lots of stuff to 'fix' to make the game work better ... some things will make it work better for you and some things for others. EMP's slow your silly hopping, so for me that's a good thing. The EMP's don't bother me much. When I get hit I have to adjust my play ... same as when airstrikes are called or mortars are raining down.

lol ... Chicken Ark. And yes ... judgement is coming. The end is near.

Nicely done @WeednFeed. Nice looking ark too.

Set up a new hive on my property yesterday. Only got stung once! Supply chain gets shorter with each addition to the homestead.

There's something wrong with you ...

15 Layers and 10 meat birds there. We should get 6-8 eggs per day from the layers in they all survive. That's normal for Brown Leghorns.

It's that time of year here on the homestead. Protein for the next year.

Your name is not @HELLSPAWN ... yer good. lol.

All this talk about fake money makes me want to recount my silver holdings ... ha.

@HELLSPAWN Accountants ... one step above lawyers (barely!) I knew I didn't like you ... now I know why! Hahaha. JK buddy. Nice intro and nice to learn a bit more about you. You forgot to mention that you are humping the FT server in NY which is the only reason you ever get any kills. FU.

May 3 is a great day! My bday as well. Congrats to all.
