Well just because it hasn't worked in the past, doesn't mean it wouldn't work now. I mean the Modern Warfare server pretty much sits empty...it appears that has failed...why not try something different and see if it works now? All you need is a hardcore mode, same map rotation from the DM server, and minimal maintenance. I just don't think 'it didn't work in the past' is valid reason not to try again when donations are going to waste on servers that are sitting empty anyways.

Right now we have the VFT server, 2 DM Custom Map servers, modern Weapons and a Redline server. I've seen very little use of the Modern Weapons server as well as the 2nd DM server and I was wondering if we could get one of them switched to a Hardcore custom map server (similar to VFT minus the freezetag) and with a different mod. The reason I say this is because everyone seems to be getting tired of the maps that are in our current VFT server due to the Open Warfare mod but don't want to play deathmatch. Having another server that has team based games (TDM, CTF, DOM, etc) but with similar performance of the weapons on the VFT (IMO the weapons on DM servers suck...probably because they are not set as hardcore) and the ability to add maps that can be found on the DM server and not on the VFT server would be awesome.
 
Just my recommendation....thoughts?

game is just crappy due to lost packettes we need to move back to Chicago

Thanks again for the work!
 
Just a request, any chance we can get the config data on maps in the rotation when you guys post these updates?

Johnny Dos and Dirk Diggler have chosen to drop from the COD5 admin team because of lack of activity in the servers and personal issues. Djmot and Labob will be replacing them as COD5 Head Admins. We are working on getting a more active COD5 admin team, so this will not be the last of the changes to this team. 
 
Thanks to Dos and Dirk for all their help over the past couple years! 

I think we need to tread carefully here. There are a number of maps in our rotation that have areas that can be got to quite easily that the map maker likely intended to be off limits. As far as I know none of these offer an advantage in terms of being invincible or invisible, only temporary obscurity until everyone knows about it. IMO telling other players about these areas and so exposing them and continue allowing them to be used is the best policy. This eliminates the confusion and most of all, the need for them to be policed. 

4 of us >XI< ijits and our spouses + 1 child and one young pup got together at Hunter's compound and bunker deep in the backwoods of Ontario, Canada, for tactical training, survival cooking, and drinking, all Canadian style. The Zombie Apocalypse is coming, and we needed to update our training so that we are prepared.

IMO, if he can be seen/shot, its not advantageous. He did not go 'through a solid object' as was pointed out to me the last week, and climbing/jumping to get somewhere is alright...not defending him, just highlighting the discrepancies in what is and is not considered 'acceptable' to admins.

I don't consider it cheating unless it is advantageous. I don't consider it outside the map unless he's outside the solid bush where you cannot see through and/or in 'white' area outside the map. The instances such as in an attic with see through floors, or a tree trunk/statue are advantageous as you absolutely cannot be seen and have an unobstructed view through walls, floors, etc. and should therefor not be allowed.
 
At the end of the day it's all about fun. Obvious cheating, and glitching such as the statue, see-through attics, under the map, etc are clearly not acceptable because they are advantageous. I myself would not go to that position, however I have no issue if others do because it is inside the boundaries of the visible map edge, is not advantageous, and as soon as everyone knows about it you'll have more people trying to get there and everyone will start knowing to look there to shoot them. It's the same when someone finds a new roof to climb on that someone previously didn't know about...everyone cries foul, or at least thinks it, but then you get to know people go there and you know where to look/shoot in the future and it's acceptable. Just because it is inside of the lateral playable map confines, doesn't mean it was intended to be accessible by the map maker, and therefor is outside of the vertical confines of the playable area, making it the exact same situation...but in that case it's ok? If you look at the map as a 3d playable area, you'll realize jumping on a roof that isn't supposed to be accessible is exactly the same as being outside the playable area laterally...as long as you are not in an advantageous position.
 
I know plenty of you disagree with me, but unless it is advantageous, I stand by my stance that it should be fair game.

 
 
In my opinion, this is no different then going on a roof or anywhere else the map makers did not intend for people to go. Yes, you can go behind the 'solid' bush to where you can go under the map, but you can do that on others as well, for instance the map with the church tower/bell that has the stooges noise when shot you can fall under the map when jumping on the wall/railing to get to the roof on the North side. In that case it is perfectly acceptable as long as you dont go off the map and stay in a non-advantageous position.
 
For this situation, as long as he is in an area that can be seen/shot and inside of the 'solid' bush wall, that should be fine. Using the argument of him being in a bush where you cant see them unless there's a muzzle flash is not valid because that can hold true for any bush...this just happens to be in an area that is not typically looked at.

IMO, if he can be seen/shot, its not advantageous. He did not go 'through a solid object' as was pointed out to me the last week, and climbing/jumping to get somewhere is alright...not defending him, just highlighting the discrepancies in what is and is not considered 'acceptable' to admins.

So for the record, I don't play the Sims, but figured I'd post this in here for others that might. Since EA annoucned the end of support for the SIms 2 with the Sims 4 coming out later this year, they offered all those that had Sims 2 previously to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition for free. BUT, the truth is you don't even need to have had the game in the past...you just need an Origin account. Simply go to Origin -> Redeem Product Code -> Enter 'I-LOVE-THE-SIMS' without quotations and you'll get it for free.
 
Just thought I'd share!

I love the mod, but every day I end up having to re-download some aspect of the mod/maps, game styles have been changed, fixes that need to be made still haven't been, and bugs keep popping up. I know you're doing everything you can to get it running Labob and I appreciate all the work you've put into it, I just don't think it's a reliable mod at this point and needs quite a bit more work from both the mod aspect as well as the maps.

I cant see the results on my phone, but if its 14-9 in favor of cinci, a lot of people changed their vote last minute because as of yesterday i could have sworn vegas was i similar lead over cinci...

Please announce a deadline for this poll to end so that we're not waiting around....whatever the winner is at that point will be it...otherwise summer will be over before anything is announced...lol

Flip a coin on Friday if it's still tied...lol
