What's YOUR thoughts on sv_pure?, pros and cons Options

[FatherMurphy]

Just wondering what everyone is thinking about the sv_pure on server number 2!

I have mixed reactions.

Pro:

For once I know I'm not neon red in your sights.

Hiding actually occasionally really works!

The players that have taken the time to set their game up for sv_pure are really dedicated die-hards, and overall seem to have a good level of maturity. I haven't seen anyone flood the chat with PUSSY and FAGGOT yet, anyway! LOL

The feel of the game is once again immersive. I often wish for an entrenching tool to dig a deep hole and survive.

Con:

I really dislike the weapons mod as it stands. SMGs are WAY too accurate and hit too hard at range, making them the best overall weapon in the game. What can I say? I'm a MPSH fan...I LIKE the difference in weapons between the nationalities.

Some of my favorite maps went the way of the Dodo...I guess they were incompatible with the sv_pure thing.

It's disappointing to see so few players on. Saturday afternoon and there's only 10 players in the server. I like a crowd...there's safety in numbers, eh?

What's your thoughts?

Hey Father I wanted to address some things you said here as you made some good points and some things need cleared up.

First the weapons mod. You are correct on your assessment of the smg and it was one of the first things I noticed when the patch came out. Understand that there is a significant difference in the weapons since the patch. They all run smoother and you notice it more on the smg because its rate of fire is faster. As soon as I get a chance to get all the connection issues cleared up with people I plan on retweaking the weapons mod so stay tuned for that. However, understand that this is NOT a realism weapons mod so do not expect that the smg's will mimic their real life counterparts. I claim an EQUAL weapons mod. What that means to me is that if you and I turn the corner together I want us both to have an equal chance at a kill regardless of the weapon chosen. All weapons will differ in specs but settings are offset by each other. For example, the smg's will have slightly higher rof and slightly lower damage numbers than the mg's which is an offset. The range is slightly lower on the smgs, a bit higher on the mgs, and a bit higher still on the rifles. I am satisfied with my weapons mod ONLY when I hear all guns sounds on the server. That to me means people are comfortable with all weapons and not just one.

Custom maps..... there is only 2 maps that I know of that were removed for having an issue with pure and to be honest I was having issues with those maps before pure. Any other maps that were removed were based on user feedback or lagging issues ONLY so everyone needs to get over to Sigma CHi's post about favorite maps and give me feedback. It's hard to know what maps you guys like without some input so if there are maps we have quit playing that you want to see back let me know.
