Just a suggestion but I have seen a camper MOD before that would tell you if you don;t get moving you would get marked for camping and an arrow over your head or something like that would show you to the other team unless you moved out of the area.


It may be a good addition to a great server to get rid of the people lying around just caping and sniping especially if they only have one base left to defend.


Just a thought????

Whats the point of being a sniper if you cant camp?

Camper = Defender, no more no less.

Wallace - I share your frustration, but I'm not sure about your solution proposal. This is a two-egged sword. MW has become very popular, in fact one of the most popular servers out there, but in my opinion the gameplay has changed completely. I suspect that many TDM players have entered the game and they don't give too much energy in the way this game is supposed to be played. As long as they can find a relative safe spot with their sniper they stay put and continue their sniping session.

I'm sure I will provoke some people by this - cause there are several players who believe that it's their "constitutional right" to play this game in whichever way they wanna play it. Well I strongly disagree. These people ruin the gameplay for the majority and the whole idea with BAS. (But sure they get a lot of kills). You are supposed to take down the base, plant and destroy all bases. I'm not sure everybody who plays have figured it out.....



When you play soccer you stick to the rules and tactics. You don't start taking push-ups - start dancing or do any other absurd thing you for some reason wanna do. If you still feel compelled to do it you leave the game - and find another playground.



MW is an excellent server but imo popularity has increased but the gameplay quality has decreased. I just hope that over time these guys (mostly non-clan members) will accept the gameplay and start being teamplayers.

I suppose all is fair in love and war, but I too appreciate the frustration. What I see especially lots is German camping the hills at R2 and the mid-pak and sniping down. I've played many game where Russians could hardly move out of town because of this, but, on the other hand, despite being pinned in NO ONE from German had the guts to come into town and try and plant! People don't go for the third base kill anymore, it jst becomes a Dragnov/sniper fest. It's frustrating from either side. As Russian, you see the game transform from BA to more a TDM like game where few people seem to be trying to acheive the objectives. As German, I can't tell you the frustration of walking up to the R2 hill and charging down, and watching 4-5 players behind you NOT follow you in to make a run at 3 because they'd rather snipe all day (even though they can't get guys in behind the houses, so they rarely help in penetrating 3).

It's clear a lot of people are more concerned with personal kill stats than blowing or defending bases.

Seems like most of the people on the sever are new to base.Very few old base players from Tuc and Barb.I happen to be stuck in the 1940s an will be waiting in Tuc we the few who are still around.

You can't argue the new server is more popular than the old one. But I for one miss the Old Barb, so yes, I'm one of those who rarely plays as well anymore. A big change will never satisfy everyone. If it wasn't for that darn rocket launcher making the tanks useless I'd probably have enjoyed it, but as it is, I suppose I'm slowly moving on. There's move than enough to take our place it seems.

I'm with both of you, I only jump on the stocks when they are active, or I mainly play COD2 rifles only.
The new UO CTF server, is a HUGE breath of fresh air. The moden weapons (While a fantastic mod) just does not work for me personally. It has taken me over a year of getting killed a ton of times to become respectable with the bolt action rifle, and that effort is mainly wiped away on the Modern Weapons.

On the upside, I've meet a lot of people on the COD2 side, and it's nice to be playing with both games now, I've had COD2 for a little while, but the change forced me out of my comfort zone to go and learn COD2 more!

Camping as far as im concerned can be frustrating but it is part of the game is it not? Base i mean.

Not to long ago i was in Kursk as german .We had one base left to defend g1.I planted myself on the 88 and every time someone would so much as pop there head up i'd blow them away.For like 10 min this went on.Then some idiot on Russian side says Mechanic your a F#$n camper.And I thought to myself you gotta be kidding me ..What am I supose to do vacate the 88 so you can come in here and set our last base..yea right it aint happening ...deal with it..you freaking jerk..I will do what ever it takes to protect that last base regardless of how much it may bother my opponents period. Then the same person says I should be kicked or booted for camping.Just am example.o and it was not on our server.

The other issue when R3 in Kursk is being camped.I dont care how many times i get killed. im jumping in the jeep for a suicde ride over and over again till we get that base.However many times it takes to get that base set, so be it let them camp all they want.All I need is some support from my comrades in the tanks and hope for the best.

Stats really mean nothing to me.Sure i look at them from time to time.And laugh cause when i was really an active player youd see the Mechanic as the the king of the knoobs.But i did have a high base kill ratio.And that was fine with me.

In Foy A1 was the last base and protected or camped by i think it was the Canukster one time.i got in my jeep,and I treid over and over again to set it.The Canukster would not have it.I thought to myself the Canuk is probebly thinking to himself right now...Well i guess the Mechanic should be along any minute now..LOL..



"T.M."

Not start a 50 page topic but while morden weapons is always jammed with peole the rest are dead.Remember right befor it came out MOB had 2 (Tuc an Barn) sometimes stock fill or close to it.Now you got 1.But I am happy to see CTF an Tuc starting to pick up a lil even if for only an hour or two.Sorry Im not complaining just bummed dont like camping servers for an hour with three other guys.I will not go to some other base server cause its not the same.

What about trying modern weapons on Tuchola as well. That could be interesting as well.


I for one would like to see the Rocket launchers ability to kill a tank be toner down a little.

With having the speed you can easily run behind a tank shoot it in the ass (the turret can't keep up) and one shot and the tank is dead usually.

I like the MWBA server. My only change would be making the Dragunov semi-auto only. I use it most of the time because it's the only way you can make your way across the map because 80-90% of the players are carrying them. To me vehicles could be removed completely. I never use them.

It is fun to catch three guys coming in a jeep and blow them up though.

LOL, I like to snipe, but I dont sit in the same place for very long. Anyone whose ever read anything about snipers can tell you thats a bad idea! Personally I find this to be rather amusing; Playing a WWII game, but with modern weapons, bitching about getting shot by someone with a modern weapon.



Personally, Im kind of tired of MOW; I mean, its fun and all, but I like the strategy and teamwork from the old Barb and Tuch. If I want to go and jump around and randomly shoot people like a bunch of spasmos, I can go to most any server and do that. MOB attracted me because of the teamwork involved, not just the wholesale slaughter factor....

I agree 100% with this (and not just because IP and I share a clan). That one simple change would scare away the point whores who do nothing but sit and camp out spawns or through-ways. The fact that you can use that thing as an assault weapon has taken away from what could be a really excellent server.

I LOVE the server, mind you. But the noobanov is obviously chasing away a good many of the better Barbarossa players...I don't get to play much anymore due to new babies in the hosue, but I NEVER see SgtClark, MasterofDisaster, Abuse, T/A6pak, Angus, Deathwish, etc...and that's why teams almost never blow all three bases in a round.

Again, I'll keep playing, but I really thing the long term health of the server would be better served by reducing the noobanov to semi-auto only. JMO.
