'Ever use the crossbow?' Seriously? ? Crossbows arent bullet weapons. They fire projectiles and operate under different principles. I could make *every* gun in the game a projectile where physics and time come into play. But there are limitations such as the inability to penetrate anything even cloth or chain link fences (game limitation).

Tracers are FX only done on the client. Bullet rounds arent even physical objects in the game and there is no travel time between A and B. You have a virtual point of origin (the tip of the gun) and a direction. Run a physics trace line. Does it hit anything? Right next to you, all the way across the map, doesnt matter. There is no time component. If so then do the proper damage depending on what was hit.

Yes CoD4 came out in 2007. And your point being? A highly sophisticated game could come out in 2019 and still suck balls.

You dont need to watch Star Wars every week to voice an opinion on it. ?

And once you got all the challenges, then what? Do it all again? ? The top players here should ask themselves. Do you want to put your skills to the test with some harder gameplay? Or are you not interested in improving your skills and just want to stick to your routine?

Just my 2 cents. No you dont ban really good players. They worked hard at it to get there. That said, is it enough? Once you get really good, is that all there is? Or do you welcome anything that further challenges you and your skill level? What kind of things would that be? Things like weapon/challenges progression is something IW/Treyarch came up with and it works to a point. Until you get to the top and the only thing after that is to start over to get a prestige badge or golden guns. Cosmetic only.

Sure there have been plenty of servers that do that. But its not something for here. Jump shooting is a perfectly valid play style. One thing people need to keep in mind is that difficulty levels should keep pace with skill. When bunny hopping and making kills becomes too easy and rote because people have simply gotten very good at it then perhaps its time to make it a little harder. Kind of like playing CoD SP games. If you completed the last time on 'easy' are you done with it? Or do you bump the difficulty up to 'normal' and play again? One thing you dont ever want a server to become is 'routine'. Change things up to make it fresh. Dont let the chaos become stale. Some things will work and be fun, some things will not. I would like to think that a lot of people come here because there are a lot of unique features. Especially the streaks. People love their streaks. But also because the rules arent draconian and pretty open so long as you arent a cheater and/or abusive to other players. And of course there is no substitute for good admins. Its also in my humble opinion probably the most advanced version of freezetag out there. So I doubt any update is going to empty the server. As for a 'winning thing', remember how some people whined like little babies when the server was 'forced' to the current 1.46 version? At that time, the old version was 'the best'. Despite the bugs and significantly worse map compatibility. New isnt always better. Then again, neither is old. The defrost airburster strike was revisited as a stand-alone streak award. Not as an expansion of the mininuke that both defrosts and kills. There are already enough complaints about the car.

Nope I havent done anything regarding jumping. Or hopping around like a little bitch I put it. As for any changes to it anyways, well the big mac hasnt changed in forever because people still buy it. Still a terrible burger tho.

Just dont let it go to your head and start kicking people just for being a pain in the ass or whiny crybaby. Congrats.

Well........ I think I posted this all elsewhere. The car divided into two. Explosive OR defroster. Both at 3 kills. In line with the uav and sentry. And since the defroster car is essentially defenseless it is quieter and more health. So you have a choice. Get your kill but you wont help your team. This isnt a new idea of course and has been talked about for awhile. Stealth reworked vs betties etc. If you walk, it wont see you. If you run then its detection range is cut to 1/2 but you arent immune. And just to remind people currently if you have stealth, but fire an unsilenced weapon, sentries and helis will see you for a few seconds. The current Saritch *IS* a little bugged in a couple circumstances due to an error on my part that I didnt know about. Player damage changed a little. Shots to hands/feet are ignored. Lower arms/legs 1/2. However headshots and the neck are automatic kills armor or not regardless of weapon. Care Package removed to allow room for different streaks and its a bit redundant. Instead the Strike Package dropped down to 5 kills. Due to popular demand I made up an airstrike defroster (no damage just friendly defrosts). Same kill requirement as the B2. Combat Medic is admittedly problematic due to different map sizes. Also the mentioned 'post-streak' one. The reason for the post streak protection is to go with the default setting of you standing there with the pad (BO and all the others) and vulnerable while using it. That doesnt apply here of course. *IF* everybody thinks its a real problem I am open to ideas on doing a different approach to the extra perk spawn protection. I tried a method where the final two seconds you are seen, without a raised weapon, but you cannot be damaged. Of course those that are obsessed with that perk hated it. Posted a vid. SAMs will shoot down packages if close enough and if its at a good angle. A couple additional things it will go after if the circumstances are right. As for jumping, I didnt mess with that because its up to the clan whether or not to reset jumping to the game default (the old 'way it was meant to be played' arguments) that slows you down on the second jump. Currently it doesnt due to server settings. Again, if this is a real problem you could do something where you dont change hopping but maybe lower the accuracy a bit. And as for why I spend time now and then still working on this, I enjoy the problem solving and the challenge. For the spawn camper thing, which might make the whole combat medic issue moot, just occured to me that it might be possible to make up some kind of 'warning' for your spawn area. If an enemy makes a kill inside of a certain radius of spawn you will see a printed message like you would for incoming airstrikes. "Enemy in your spawn area" or something like that. But again only if that enemy makes a kill. So if you want to hide out in their spawn area and do nothing but defrost there wont be a warning. Spawn camping is permitted, per the rules, but a little heads-up wont hurt.

Well, I am not an admin with kicking authority. I just play the game when the opportunity arises. ?

Since you love reptiles be prepared for two things. A lot of cold-blooded CoD players. And, a lot of babies. Specifically cry-babies.

Reenabling PB had been discussed several times. However it does nothing about any hacks that came around after support for it was dropped. Really it would only be good for monitoring old hacks (which are still around) or out of range dvar changes. There are other known console changes which are frowned upon such as level of detail removing foliage. Which is why hiding in grass for example is not advisable.

The 5 year warranty on black drives is also a good thing. I had to return a 2TB model after I think 2 years. It didnt die but failed an extended smart test and rewriting with zeros etc didnt fix it. 2TB models were not available so they sent me back a 3TB. SSD for the OS, programs, and things where you need to read/write a lot of data *really* fast. I have no experience with the M2 drives but that is an option in the future when they become a little more affordable.

Ia mIRC still a thing?

Yup I need a new SSD also. But the 2TB models are quite expensive. Fortunately that also means the smaller ones are coming down in price fast.

Is that one million *each*? For one million in tax credits.... every year... I would do it. I would never have to pay taxes again.

Much of the time, those that complain about slow drivers think they are indy car drivers... on public roads... and the rest of us are just in their way. I've seen people do some really dangerous and stupid shit because they think the traffic laws are optional. Too fucking bad if I am too slow. ?

Yes unfortunately some people bind the dvar to two different keys. Normal and ultra low. If you see someone running smoothly, and then he suddenly starts warping around when being shot at, then he clicked the 'low' button and ran away. I once saw one semi-regular, who shall remain nameless, moving around perfectly fluid and then I took one shot at him from close range. Because I suck as a player I missed. But he warped away with his lag bind like a little bitch. ? You can usually spot this kind of thing and often it tends to be by the same players over and over during a round. If its a populated server with only a few people doing it, its annoying but doesnt take away from the fun. But when half the server, or more, is doing it I dont even bother and go elsewhere.
