Ok im gonna be doing a realism\game balancing mod
 

I have the ckr mod and im gonna be making my own version so the game will be more balanced and mg's aren't hitting you from ranges that sniper rifles would whimper at.

Only problem is for testing i can't really host a server cause i have a crap 15k\sec upload :/

Im starting work on this tonight and will most likely be doing some testing against my brother over a lan. Would anyone be able to host a testing server so we can see what its like online?

If so email me @ gerald.marley@ntlworld.com and i'll send the mod when its done which should be in a week or so hopefully.


The reason of this mod is going to be to put medal of honor's roots into proper squad combat instead of everyone whoring a B.A.R or an STG. The garand and the mauser as of right now are practicaly useless in game. In the war these 2 weapons were the mainstay of the germans and the americans. Hopefully i can set this right.

You should Pm RudeDog to see if he'll host your mod for a week or two so you can get feedback from the people on this board without them leaving there own server. Just an idea.

Might try that to tell ya the truth :). I suppose i would get better feedback on server people from here go to.

Edit the view kicking just a tad, so that people can't use the no recoil mod.

I will be more then happy to test it for you for a night.

Just give me and the board a little notice. Also try not to make it on a saturday. I am going to try and bring back the saturday night games.

I'll tell you now, I'm not getting rid of my CKR :wink:

my suggestions. i dont know if this is all possible...

increase recoil on the heavier guns, like the Bar and STG, so you cant shoot with uber accuracy as you strafe :\

increase the accuracy of all guns while crouched.

make the kar a 1 shot kill to the chest...with the slow bolt time it shouldnt be whored like dod.

make the garand a 2-3 shot kill in the chest as well.

the SMGs should be ideal for CQB, but the last weapon you would want at range.

basically, the main thing to do is to nerf the recoil on the whored weapons, and increase the power and popularity of the kar and garand.

you may want to consider changing speeds to vary with each weapon too.


and rude, what do you think about adding that smoke grenade mod to the server? i thought it would be interesting to see what might happen. if we get the right mods we might have more teamplay and less rambos, what do you think? :wink:

Well so far ive done the following

M1 garand

Pros:

Can now be reloaded mid clip.
Slightly increased rate of fire, its now a true semi auto as it fires as fast as you click the mouse.

Cons:

Less likely to kill in 1 shot unless its a head shot.
It has increased rate of fire but the faster you tap the less accurate your shots are.


Kar 98k mauser

Pros:

Likely to kill in one shot
Outdoes the garand in terms of accuracey over long distance


Cons:

Bolt action so obviously it has a slow rate of fire which can prove derrogitory when enemies are in close proximity.
5 round clip in comparrison to garands 8 rounds.


Also classes with rifles will move a good bit faster than people hauling along bar's or smg's



Im basically balancing the weapons against each other, 1 weapon may looks to have an advantage over another but the advantages normally cancel each other out. For example the garand has a better rof but you normally need 2 hits for a kill, if you hit once theres still a chance the guy with the mauser can take you out with a well placed shot.

Im really hoping this comes together right, ww2 games should be about riflemen primarily and not infantry support guys completly owning weapons that should ass rape it at long distance.

when will this mod be up on the server? i want to try it :) i'll r0x0r you with the Kar.

Probably in a day or so, i want to get most of the guns balaned off before i test it out with loads of people. I could set up a server for a while though, duno about connection speeds as my able only has 15k upload but it would give ya a chance to try some of the new stuff out :)


Try this anyway,
80.6.53.254

I'll put the server up now on ffa mode so u can try some of the stuff, i'll be there soon going to shop now :)

if anyone wants to have a try at the above come here
