cool

If you're saying the spanish conquests of southern america and the carribean were any less violent...

Guys, this is not CMT thread.

I loled.

Back in my day we'd have welcomed having this many active players and people who want to download maps. The fact the majority of you look at them with nothing but disdain is saddening. You have no idea how lucky you are to have a game this active. I remember when there were 300 players online at peak hours for years and years.

What does that have to do with anything?

I'm not one of the guys who talk down spanish speakers, but I'm not about to let them practice the same brand of bigotry either.

good times.... :')

I was really shocked to see how active the game has gotten when I got back into the game a few months back. Having inbuilt map downloading really helped get custom content popular (for the first time ever) too.

Great map on a fantastic server (almost no lag at all for me).
Despite its flaws I also love the Falcon, only gripe is that it's hard to maneuver in short corners. So when you do a fly-by you basically have to kill your target or you're most likely screwed, as you won't get a second chance to properly engage them.

Just for testing-purposes, did you try giving the Falcon banshee physics? I think that could work reasonably well, as the "up-down" motion is something that isn't super useful anyways. For picking up other people, you could just add a function-key (eg. flashlight button) that stops the engine, and thus drops the Falcon to the ground. Although I'm rusty on if that was possible :p

Am I the only one who doesn't have any issue piloting the Hornet? (I still think it needs a buff though~~)

I think the piloting issues are not existant for the falcon. There use to be a problem in the older versions where if you didn't constantly look straight up, you'd fall right down. But I think that's been fixed.

I just think it's a tad weak.

I think that a battle rifle would make a great addition to this map, not as a default weapon but replacing MA5K at present, as nobody seems to use that weapon and is useless. Also, the falcon must be a little bit more maneuverable. Its hard to escape the rockets of the hog with the maneuverability at present. For race game type, i think that the spawn points should be fixed like the team slayer. In race, whoever gets a mongoose is lucky, who is not, he just gets killed by campers at spawn point. Very rarely, we get spawned to a base and escape from "camping zone".

The falcon doesn't have the firepower to compensate for it's lack of health and vulnerability to all weapons while flying in the air.

I thought against this at first, but now that people are actively targeting Falcons first (and are having an easier time doing this than ever before), isn't it about time its rockets are homing, too?
(at least to compensate against Rocket Hogs, tanks and other heavy vehicles/weapons)

The problem with the falcon is that it becomes OP when there are just a few people on the server. Flying just above the ground is the best solution when there are many people.

I have been able to use the falcon for quite long several times on a full server, as long as I was nnot flying in the middle of the battlefield, and I find it always easy to dodge homing rockets

I actually favor the MA5K over the current iteration of the shotgun, because single-fire gives me superior range, while magdumping gives me close-quarters capabilities on par with the shotgun. It does need a new model, though, to fit the aesthetic of the rest of the tagset. If nothing else, perhaps its stats could be transferred to a short-barreled Battle Rifle with the scope removed.


If there's a weapon that "nobody seems to use," it's the MA5C.

I've seen people use the MA5C to defend the bases many times. I also enjoy playing with it, it makes snipers and DMR rangers panic in hills. It's also very useful against vehicles

Does it deal more damage than the MA5K? The K seems more suited to countersniping considering its accuracy when firing single shots. I'll have to try the C again some time, though, because until now I've really not had much incentive to use it.

Falcon problems:

almost the most is destroyed when the falcon it goes flying (teammate, rockethog, laser/rocket or DMR)

It is destroyed when the enemies using the drop ordnance and hide

as i point out above, the falcon is destroyed most of the time for your teammate

and there is a problem to aim and shoot either with turret or missile and the passenger can not aim well

That reminds me... it would be nice to have a kick (then ban) system for team killing.

3 tk = ipban.

Make it two and that's a deal.

make it 0 and just ip ban everyone

Or ip range ban mexico. jk

You didn't see anything.

i was thar

pd: no AF? im dissapoint.

I have seen many people use MA5C many times but i have never seen someone use MA5K. to @echo77

I tried the MA5K today since people were talking about it here. Beat a shotgun at point blank so maybe it's not as bad as I thought, but it's certainly niche.

Odd. I feel like a census could be conducted, somehow.

I tried the MA5C yesterday, and I've decided that it's not half bad. It works well enough at closer ranges, (it has more reach than the MA5K at its highest rate of fire) but it seems pretty lackluster at greater distances. I guess it's sort of the middle-of-the-road route, though: while the MA5K is good at point-blank and mid-range, the MA5C's effective range falls somewhere between those two points.


I'd say it's less niche than the shotgun, though, given that it also offers accurate, ranged, headshot-capable, semi-automatic fire in addition to the high rate of fire for close-quarters combat.

hello,
what is the name of the variable that changes when 'set tod' set to 0 or 1. ?

Not sure what you mean. When you change tod to 1 then it switches to night bsp using "switch_bsp 1" command. "set tod" command only switches bsp on client side to prevent server lag when switching.
