We can ask Rugger if he wants to do it but one change that may improve things is make the Glock secondary a 3-round burst. If you are ads and at a reasonable range one burst is usually enough to kill. Unless the player has juggy. The mod was designed to make the classes more specific and allows for perks and streaks to be limited by class in any way the server desires. Anyways, for the next release added China lake as a replacement for the GL attachment, which has been removed to free up game assets. The launcher has been balanced to behave in all respects as the GL. Except that it can also be fired ads if desired and is pump-action. All classes can choose it. Also likely the Crossbow will be as it is in BO with 2 explosive bolts as projectiles. However dont know yet if they will stick to players with a fuse. Currently they act like sniper rounds (not LR). Not very realistic.

Can you be more specific?

Oh poor guy. He was just doing what snipers are supposed to do. Might as well say that rushers run around too much.

Well reinstalled the game and patches this evening. Luckily it would accept a second drive. Then downloaded the vietnam and mw mods. But nobody there. Ah well. I only get to play when its late at night so I suspect my timing is bad.

Was told about that problem a little while ago and I think it was a bug where the menu wasnt reading the attachment tables correctly for GL. So the attachment stat for that weapon gets incorrectly set as tho it hasnt been unlocked. IMHO they did things for attachments in a screwy way for some things but can only work around it. So far the problem hasnt happened in the next release. For now, delete the player profile for the mod. Ranks are reset of course but it wont hurt anything otherwise. In the far future, if time permits, we would like to reintroduce weapon and perk unlocks and maybe a slightly more elaborate ranking system. But I fear opening a proverbial can of worms.

Broadcast and Backlot dont work on the OW2 mod, if that is the mod you mean. However there are custom versions of Backlot that are optimized for mods and are much better IMHO. Which is why we will never see mapping tools ever again in COD since they are now selling map packs.

What kind of traffic do cod5 servers get in the evenings PST or PDT? I uninstalled the game awhile ago to make room for BO when I got it (which is also uninstalled now) but if I can get it to install on a second partition or drive I might put it back.

You mean the bubble itself isnt actually removed and moves around with the player after he is defrosted? Or does it look like a red FX? I didnt think a bubble moving around with a player was even possible. The only actual command in the script that moves it is for up and down only when health changes due to the unfreezing process. Weird. I know about the no-bodies thing and hopefully that is fixed in the next release.

Wow. I have to say I am a terrible player and I can get really frustrated now and then when I play. Even so, glitching is something that would never occur to me. Might as well play against bots and set their skill to turkeyshoot.

Yup just one of those things. If that happens again open the console and type /disconnect.

Already doing the best we can with xmodels and it currently has less than the 1.3 mod did. As always its about choices and what is more important. Some maps wont even run on stock OW and it only has 6 custom models.

Remagen wont work with ow2. Too many xmodel assets.

If the goal is concealment then yes it probably wouldnt be the best choice. But if that is not a problem, say you are in a group of rushers, then the enemy knows you are there somewhere anyways pushing them. So Overwatch could be a good companion to have with you as you advance. The current version does follow the player too closely however. Changes make it so it patrols the area around the player instead and doesnt hover around too much. As for attacking, if an enemy fires on it then the heli considers him the biggest threat and will be the primary target. http://beta.xfire.com/videos/557325

Have to make sure about bomb release time but doubled the speed of the B2. Yes it is much better, many thanks.

I will look into speeding the B2 up. I agree its kinda slow. The escort has been renamed Overwatch. That is basically what it does. Its targeting is better now and acts a little more autonomusly, relying less on what the player does. If the player dies it stays at that location until he respawns. The mininuke blast and radiation effects improved. Fly height of Pavelow should be the same as the stock airstrike but I will confirm this.

Was it about a missing player tag? A known issue, hopefully fixed in the next release. Of the 3 11-kill streaks each has its strengths and weaknesses. The heli is less powerful than the ac130 but better in dense urban environments since it flies over the map not around it. Also the minigun doesnt suffer from the travel time the 25/40/105 projectiles do. The mininuke is a one use weapon on a fixed area but quite destructive and while a building will protect you from the blast the radiation will get you. So it all depends.

I've been working on FF for the streaks to make sure the main settings for turning it on/off works for it also. A few didnt work right. Except for a few cases there is no special setting for streaks. That can be changed if desired but then it would defeat the whole point of friendly fire. As for artillery, you can see it coming so if FF is on then do like Sir Robin and bravely run away. For the car, it may not be all that much help but EMP nades will now kill the electronics so it is dead. The player then respawns. The RC itself remains and starts a 20 second fuse then explodes unless its shot first. After various changes the nuke in freezetag will win the game for the team that drops it. It will still kill everybody but the owner is the last on the list. So in effect he is the last man standing.

Tsk tsk....

now that would be a cool fx, that little guy riding his big wheel down the hallways yelling redrum redrum hahahaha If so it also needs a few doors that can have their centers carved out when people walk by. "Here's Johnny!"

Those hallways remind me the the Shining. Redrum!

The other kind of FF that can be done is 'reflective'. So the victim isnt frozen the attacker is. However some work would have to be done for streak weapons. Such as what to do if the attacker is in the minigunner or ac130. Either that or just make it they cant do FF.

Hehe. If I were to do it, I would make it so if a player is frozen by a friendly then an enemy player is miraculously unfrozen. Either that or if a player does it twice then target him with a smartbomb or predator for revenge.

Yes its possible for open warfare based mods. I dont know about g13 but I am sure it does also. Do it alot to test things. Freeze a teammate bot. Thaw him. Freeze him again. Thaw again. If it were a real player I would hear all kinds of harsh words on chat. Anyways personally I wouldnt do it unless TK victims could auto-unfreeze or use bandages. Which in this case could be considered heat packs. Also TK punishments enabled. Otherwise to me it would get annoying real fast.
