Headshot | Ideas & Suggestions

[iTim]

Ducks, can you do some changes like:

1. Remove sniper rifle from weapons selections as I think it does not fit into frag profile involving close, precise fights with short range guns? Sniper rifle ruins this concepts with remote shots.

2. Reinstall some cool sound pack...? There were some in HS.

Heya Butch,

As for your first point, I'm actually curious where you're able to pull out a sniper and gain an advantage on the headshot server.
Personally I like to pull out a sniper once in a while to mess around a bit. (Always a negative k/d ratio because of it haha)
I don't really see it needing to be removed, but we can always poll it ofcourse.

As for your second point, we're currently testing out the server without any additional downloads (such as soundpacks) to see if it affects any new players that disconnect because of all the downloads.

Here is the post about it:

A few of you told about it to me , and as a problem i notice it aswell when new visitors try to connect but they need to download a bunch of stuff ( intros , or skin pack files etc ) to play.

AS A TRYOUT i thought about having a 'Authenticity Week' which would focus on only the playing , i would clear up the FTP and remove all the files - and meanwhile we could test it out how would it work on attracting ppl.
