The "must have" mods vary from person to person. I would recommend:
* a blood mod (I have Dagroov Ultimate Gore)
* alliedassault.com maps (list is found in a sticky in this forum)
* allaboutnothing.net maps - [url:461f4]http://www.allaboutnothing.net[/url:461f4]
* Teamspeak - [url:461f4]http://www.teamspeak.org[/url:461f4]
There is a multitude of skins, crosshairs, scopes and hud mods available. Sort by the user rating and you'll get an idea of what's preferred.
Only ignorant people say lean/strafe is dumb. Personally the way i see it is, if lean/strafe will greater your chances of dodging all them bullets flying towards you at great velocity, do it!
Although, i dont actually use lean strafe, i have a 5 button mouse which is configured with the lean keys in the control options within moh. People make a big deal out of lean strafe and its even been known to be banned from several leagues and ladders as its classed as a form of cheat. You will find most people will call you a cheat if you use it, so what, they are the suckers losing!
Lean/strafe does look dumb when you use it all the time , but there are times when it comes in handy. Therefore I use a 5 button mouse so I can use it if I want. Does stick on me sometimes though , gotta get that fixed. biggrin:
