Barbarossa 24/7 server with Modern Weapons, ... Version 2.0, please give it a try Options

[steel]

Temporarily, as an experiment, the {MOB} Barbarossa 24 x 7 server is now {MOB} Modern Weapons Barbarossa.

I've made the modern weapons mod for this server a completely different beast, based upon the feedback everyone gave. Thanks for your feedback.

1. The gun selection has been reduced.
2. The Dragunov sniper is semi-auto only (fires one shot at a time), it has no automatic mode.
3. No RPG-7's, just plain bazookas and panzershreks, so tanks can once again own the map, lol.

Also, there is no super-fast sprinting, no satchel charges, no trip-wires.

With this greatly reduced mod, the server can run back-to-back Barbarossa, 24 x7.

If you like it, it stays this way. If you don't like it, I'll put it back to stock weapons.

I know where you guys are coming from with your points. You all just took me wrong and acted like I was way off. But actually, when the new MOD came up, the traffic on that server went nuts from the start. Earlier today I looked at the servers when I made my previous post and both the TDM and BAS servers had at least 15 people in each, and the Barb server had 0. Now I am looking at all 3 again and see that both the TDM and BAS have 20 and 27 in it while Barb has 0.

My point with all of this is not which is better gameplay for us the experienced players who love playing a team effort game. My point with all of my posts on this topic is that if we had made the changes, the traffic would die down in our servers. And the loyal MOB players and few other followers would come in the servers only at certain times of the day and a 8 vs. 8 would be considered a big game.

So again, which is better? Less in our servers, but better team effort play, or more in the servers but have to deal with the Noobanov and RPG's?

Thats what I said before, and thats why I wanted change so I could prove my point. People just thought I was crazy or something, lol.

Go ahead and give it a week, or a month. The same results will be there. The server will build up when we go there and build it up, but it will never be like the current TDM and BAS servers because of the weapons mod 1.0.

Look, I'm not sure anything is proven here. The "new" MW mod was put on a server that was already dead, a lot of people probably aren't even aware of what has happened with it. The MW server OTOH got refreshed with new maps. This isn't exactly comparing apples to apples here. Also, if there is a complaint I've heard a lot about the Barb server now it isn't the lack of a full auto Drag or the RPG missing, it's the slow running. People do miss the fast running which gets them into the action faster, especially since they're used to it.

An apples to apples comparison based on complaints some had with the MW mod would be to leave the mod as it is with only the Draganov and RPG seriously toned down. Run it for a week and compare the popularity to the previous week ON THE SAME SERVER. But what we're doing here is completely differrent and merely an attempt to see if it is possible to ressurect a dead server.

I'm sorry to see the experiment end after only 5-6 days. AFAIK, you might as well turn that server off now and stop paying for it. Experiments to revive are met with derision, yet no one goes in it otherwise. MOB should save it's money and stop paying for dead servers, especially when no one is willing to try something different.
