Question...in your opinion, how stupid can an admin be to use a know bug of a map (which kills everyone instantly), many times, inevitably causing half the opposing team to spect (with server full)?? .=

Azarael, help, tell me that this clown doesn't run the server!! ;"( ;"(

The only choice is stay or leave. Or get close and use the SKAS shotgun on him (aimed, single shots) because he really hates that.

I don't specially like ehi (we had so much "fights" between us.. ;B ) but for that point, I agree.

Since when admin use bugued weapon to farm others ? I thought they've to be a sort of model/example of rules but it seems not.

Btw, I don't see the fun for players to have a person who knows the weapon gives instant kill in a certain firemode and use it on EACH MAP where MAU is able to be used.. You're in his team ? Don't except to get a kill, he will want to be a "cocky player". You're in the opposite team ? Then suffer or leave/spect. What a pathetic admin.

(oh and yeah Craplypto, you can mute/ban me if you want as you wanted to be X days ago. I'm not a cocky player who need to be popular by farming with an exploited weapon in a game to be proud of myself troll2 )

I could fix it, but I don't care enough to, because the intent of the server is being destroyed for the sake of one person's popularity. I'm talking about making all the shit versions of the maps available for voting again. I spent so long trying to balance this shit because the server's intent was to be a place where gameplay trumped other considerations. While I'm aware that sacrifices have to be made to keep players, the action that was taken (restoring every single possible shitmap) went FAR beyond what was strictly necessary to accomplish that.

As long as the server remains in this condition, I don't see why I should care about weapon imbalances. After all, they're just another injustice, right?

It's not only the flawed maps, farming, and bugged weapon use, but Calypto's very presence makes balanced teams unlikely. The server becomes boring and frustrating.

My main issue is the current "Ping Compensation" (I assume it's really a server-side Location Prediction mutator) which is too biased in his favour despite his ping of 120. He shoots at what is 98% likely to be our location, while we shoot at what is 50% likely to be his location. If that mutator was less extreme, he would not be scoring a lot more than everyone else most of the time.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Otherwise I'll probably avoid contact from now on.

A) it's a placebo and doesn't work
B) you can turn it off if it really bothers you that much
