Is it just me or does anyone else miss good ole regular Barb? Options

Not to take anything away from the MOD weapons Barb (and other maps on that server). I sure do miss regular sniper rilfes and just getting smoked by Abuse by a bolt action. So, is it just me? Ok, let me have it, i can take the abuse.

It's a very different style game. Much faster, requires more "skills" and less hard work/dedication. I am afraid we will lose some Regs of Barb, but such is life I suppose.

It would really hurt the higher ping players (or slower reflex crowd) who used to make up for it by mostly staying in tanks and/or mastering pak shots. Also, the WW2 buffs miss it too I'm sure.

Personally, I like both. It will be interesting to see if original Barb makes a comeback over time.

I beg to differ. There's very little "skill" involved in the MW Barbarossa. Not with those weapons...the Noobanov (the weapon of choice for about 90% of the players) requires little skill from its user. It has a powerful scope, no recoil and it can be switch to fully auto fire. How hard is it to kill someone with that? Not very.

And, as far as hard work goes, there are still some players who understand that this is still Base Assault and not TDM. We MFD guys are constantly trying to blow up the bases; obviously there are some MOB and other regulars doing the same.

However, I've noticed that, particularly on the German team (but also somewhat on the Russian team), players seem content to do nothing but sit at the top of the hill at R2 or the forward mid-Russian artillery piece and snipe away without even entertaining the thought of blowing up a base.

Funny thing is we (the Russian team) made these lazy Germans pay the other night by sneaking through and blowing up G2 and G3 simultaneously while they did very little to help their team. They didn't even try to run back and defuse. Nothing more satisfying than abusing a bunch of lazy Germs.

So, in conclusion, I REALLY like the server but let's not pretend it's about skill.
