No censorship here. So you are perfectly free to tell us all how you wanted to be plowed and I can virtually guarantee you wont be banned even one second for it.

Perhaps the poll should show who voted for what. In the interest of transparency.

I suppose it would be convenient to try and say its a specific mod version (that any particular person doesnt like) that is somehow forcing people to go elsewhere. Sorry but this is a natural progression. Every year or two there are 1000 fewer actual cod4 servers even in the list. All clans and their servers are dropping in traffic. XI is not immune. I am actually surprised cod4 has held on as long as it has. In any case, the servers owners and clan leader... and only them... decide on what games and what mods are run. Polls are cute and all, but we all know that polls are bullshit and not to be trusted when it comes to making informed decisions. Unfortunately people tend to praise polls that give them what they want and dismiss those that dont. In the past the old/new dual servers idea was tried a few times. It always ended up that the older version lost and didnt get the traffic. Pretty democratic. Each individual can go where he or she wants.

Others say its basically a big update to 10. We wont know until its released of course.

Was that the post? They likely saw it as a sexual reference. Male escort equaling male prostitute. If so, a bit of a reach on their part. And thus three days not a permaban. I suppose it also depends on whether or not it was a private post or for everybody. All that said, we will all be better off not to use FB anyways. So take the three days to consider whether or not its actually important. I hope you decide it isnt.

The problem of course is who is currently in charge of the government. If its your guy, everything that comes out of it is truth. If its not, its all a lie. Unfortunately, personal politics has subverted critical thinking in this country.

Are you the type of person to stick a wet finger into electrical sockets... after specifically being told not to do so?

Well if someone is willing to shell out that much cash for a video card, have at it. Just make sure its insured up the kazoo in case it gets... er.... lost. Probably a miner. A pox on their houses full of computers.

Funny but not an image anyone needs.

"Sir, you were doing 80 in a 55mph zone. Therefore I have no choice but to give you this fine." "But officer, I did not know it was a 55mph zone." "How long have you lived here?" "10 years" "Here you go. Have a nice day."

And $450 over retail.

The spawn protection function is called after you return to your start location and not by any of the streak scripts. But think what you wish.

Who didnt see that coming from a galaxy far far away?

Maybe there are people here that would be much more at home with this. Im sure the UT mods are around in archives somewhere. Basic. No muss. No fuss. You face each other as God intended. Sportsman-like.

Ah the good ol UT2K4 ftag days. Just you and your gun. No streaks. No perks.

There are no actual bullets. It's an instant physics trace, commonly used for direct fire weapons in all game engines. As for the run-hop, well, that is why the original OW framework has the weapon lower option that many servers used. Not going to argue the point. I'm done with that. Just that many other servers/clans saw this as a problem as well and used the option.

Pot calling kettle black? Nope. Never pretended to be a really good cod player. Because Im not. Just average. If when testing a weapon out I am really good at it and cant miss, then there is a good chance that there is something wrong with the balances that need to be investigated. A number here or a number there is all it takes. Primary weapons are.... or at least were... to be direct replacements of stock cod4 weapons. New models, animations, sounds. But otherwise the same as whatever it replaced to maintain the original cod4 balances. That is the fairest way to handle it all. Give the weapons the abilities they were intended to have and that everybody knows as much as possible. Seems some dont want that. As in life, some things you compromise on and other things you dont. Or in other cases here, give a range of options (such as spawn protection or defrost time, or explosive power/radius) and the server owner has final say. But to say it again I suppose. My big mistake was making 1.46 and 1.47 clan exclusives (1.45 was the last public version), which I would continue to bughunt/customize/improve/upgrade with the understanding that various things were ultimately up to me as the developer. Wish I had known that some people thought otherwise and understood the opposite. Instead I should have followed standard practice of putting up the server packages openly for all players and all gaming clans to use if they so wished. They can make whatever changes they wanted on their own while staying with the standard requirements of not removing identifying information, mod name, decompiling, or passing off the work as their own. So currently, think of it as a public mod available to everybody that wants it and unsupported. Make whatever changes you see fit so long as the standard requirements above are met.

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.

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 dunno, these days there is a lot here in America that makes others fed up with it all want to move elsewhere. Well, not America. America is great and always has been and always will be. But %90 of the people that inhabit it... not so much. They suck. Other than that, welcome. Just stay away from Disneyland and all the parents with SUV sized baby strollers who think they are entitled to push everyone out of their way. And then get mad when you dont. After that experience I vowed never to go there again.

A lab leak is always in the realm of possibilities. However, in the absence of verifiable facts (hard to come by in China), the likelihood of it is small. But not zero. The world has created a great many major pandemics on its own with no help from humans to try and kill us all. That said, investigations are ongoing and there is no egg on anyones face. As it is, there is far far more 'evidence' of aliens than there is of a lab leak. Want to tell us, based on said evidence, that we are being ruled by alien overlords?

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'.
