Dozens of times during the last year or so, we have been asked to switch to CKR or open a CKR server. A few times we have ran a second server using CKR but the server never was a success. This time we will be doing things a little different as we will switch the mod on Goodfellas versus opening another server depending on how this vote goes.

A little background history for those interested.
The original equal weapons mod was made by {MOB}F_K, which I later remade using feedback from players on our server.
The 1st Realism mod as most of you know was CKR made by CrowKing of {BaH}.
CrowKing did a great job with the mod and it was the basis of most future realism mods but it came with a small problem. In the early days of MOHAA, when you joined most servers, the teams would be unequal. This was because most of the people joining automatically picked Axis as they preferred the Axis weapons, specifically the STG44. Or if people used the Rifle most people joined Allied.
The reason behind the equal weapons mod was simple, it was an attempt to help keep the teams even. With our mod it didn't matter which team you picked as the weapons where equal.
I think the mod was a large part of our early success for 2 reasons.
It did help keep teams a little more even so the gameplay was more enjoyable.
The other reason was we offered a little something different than every other server at the time, most of which where running CKR.

The reason we are offering the option of using CKR is the need to use the equal weapins mod to help keep teams even no longer exist. Anyone still playing this game by now is fairly effective regardless of what team they pick when joining the server.

For those interested, I've uploaded a comparison between a few different mods including a brief explanation of the individual settings.
MOD Comparison
This was done a long time ago so I think 2 of the mods are no longer in use ( Aries, Xavier ) The table also includes the default stock setting so you can view the differences between Realism and Stock.
BTW my personal preference would be a mixture of CKR and the Aires mod which is the only mod I've found which used a realistic kick on the MG and SMG. With Aries, you fire more than a few round sand you would be aiming at the sky.

if it aint broke dont fix it....

I think there are more people who prefer the CKR mod then any other.

i agree with blk and the CKR helps be more ready for matches, since thats what the realism is in matches

Druid, I have tried that Aries Mod, or I believe it was something similar..OMG you are so right about firing an MG.As hard as I tried you just could not keep you gun from touching the sky.You could not move if you had a Rocket Laucher.

I think a mix of both would be a nice try..Also do you still have the real fire rates I sent you a while back???I think you know them anyways...

ya i think ckr would be a lot better and about the ckr server we got right now can we PLZ move the tanks on remagen and the crates on stali

I prefer ckr.

Personally I like the 20 Round BAR better than the 30 Rounder.

I prefer CKR as well.

well fuck all of you... lol i would like to keep it the same and have another ckr sever!

Personally I will prefer CKR since from now on for a while to try to get back to being teh FLAMEAFLAVE I will only be using the rifle along with Bullet. The Mauser would be great practice in CKR...My thoughts..

Aww Naww,
FlameAFlave

we already had a CKR server and nobody played in it...

The only reason why no one plays in the ckr server is because no one knows about it. If we give goodfellas ckr people already know about the server and would have no problem filling it.

AYAYAYA bolt action mauser will make anyone l33t.

Change it.

CKR > *

lets have both ... but I guarantee the equal weapons will prevail...

i agree

CKR baby!!!

Equal Weapons is best. I'd also like to suggest having the bazooka with one round; that way, it would not get out of hand.

-GPF

HELLLLLL NOOO!!!

definately go with CKR i actually dont like playing on your server because of the equal thing...i can't stand playing with a BAR that shoots that fast with 30 bullets.

Ganstas,

Where you guys been? It's been real nice and sociable around here for awhile. Did Microsoft give away free computers in Havana?

ML

I prefer CKR.. but hey this is Flash and who cares what she thinks ...

I've always preferred Druids balanced mod better. I also like his map fixes. I can see how people would like goodfellas to be more like match play, but quite frankly, I find ckr servers frustrating. I hate the BAR and although I like the KAR on COD, I don't like it on MOHAA's smaller maps.
Please keep Druids balanced realism!

my thought is this,
i like druids mod but i wont advocate that because i really dont play mohaa anymore. ill toss it in once in a while but for the most part i love COD. anyways consider this: MOB just changed servers...and have seen some posts about helping getting things back on there feet. {MOB} is popular because of the server settings and the personality of the clan. think changing IP and then a few weeks later poof change the Mod? the horse is down folks....dont pull the gun out yet! if there is a spare server put the CKR on it till you build back up a client base like before. i looked up how many people were on tonight 1400..... man 5 months ago it was 3x that. i want to see the last public mohaa server be {MOB}...no one else!

We do have the ckr in server 2.It needs to be advertised on server 1 and those who want it go there.We have had a hard time getting 1 back to having people on itIm afraid another change will drive people off.I dont know though because some of the ckr servers are full alot.I SAY ADVERTISE SERVER 2

Too true, love that bolt-action mauser. One shot and they're down.

That's exactly why they stay away. RACISM AND CRUELTY.

I prefer DRuid's mod, but bring back the bolt action KAR.

Druid's mod with bolt action kar makes everyone happy

its all love....
we treat them like we treat our own members

If they learned some basic interpersonal skills then perhaps more writers would accept them. Baller is a cool guy. I don't have a problem with him.

Haven't you noticed how friendly the postings have been since they left? I don't care if they come back; they're excellent fighters. I just wish they would interact in a more mature manner. One example, I don't appreciate the way one Gangsta continually insulted my brother, even though Ramos owned him on the battlefield.

CKR, advertise GII. I want to use it as a practice server with rifle.

ML

Yup I agree. I will be very happy with druids mod with a bolt action.

We Luv yall too guys..

Why'd you guys stop coming around.. miss. is optional now, should make you all happy

Man, either way. But I like Druid's mod. I just wish the server was full at any time lately.

$aucy,

Are you implying that the Gangstas' computers don't work as well as ours???

ML

i think we should just leave goodfelas the way it is and be done with it

The reason it's fun to use the mauser in CKR is because it matches up well with the other weapons at CKR. It's been a while but was the mauser ever CKR style with Druid's mod? Using a CKR style mauser against Druid's BAR or STG versus a CKR mauser would be incredibly difficult and I tihnk less people would use the masuer than already do. Just my thoughts.

I agree here. The weapons should be all CKR or not. I want to practice; it won't help me if no one ever plays.

ML

equal weapons. cause the bar rules

Give it a rest already...

The bolt-action Mauser would be difficult to handle whether you're using Druid's EWM or CKR. The whole point is that it's fun to practice with. Those who want to use a semi-automatic rifle should join the allies and use the M1. Just ask Samoan which one he prefers...

And besides, how many guys use Druid's Mauser anyway?

I use it

I only use rifles now...so which ever team it puts me on I choose mauser or M1..Shit I'm not like the panzies who just say OMG I WANT ALLIES! OMFGOMGOGMOGMGOG!!!! so they fucking choose allies, fuck that shit, Druid is there any way you can designate who goes on what team so good people don't have to keep switching teams to make them even?
Aww Naww,
FlameAFlave

equal weapon CKR won't work ill put money on it.

A little general input and a few replies.
Someone mentioned Goodfellas would lose a little of it's uniqueness if we switched to CKR. Actually I had already thought about this, at one time I considered doing a few small modifications to the maps. Nothing major just a few small minor things to change things up a bit as these maps are getting way to old after 3 years.
This is something I will be going ahead with. To give you an idea, take for example the crates on Stalingrad. Some people may not like them but the vast majority agree with me that it improves the overall gameplay on that map.
BTW the Stalingrad crates were BlackBarts idea, I'm just using it as an example.

To Himmler...
Nope I don't have the fire rate you sent me a long time ago, but if I remember they where wrong too. It's funny, there are a dozen hardcore Realism mods but everyone of them have the fire speed wrong. The reason it's funny is because fire speed is the easiest thing to set. Rounds per minute divided by 60 would be the exact fire rate setting.


Guess what??? The BAR actually fires that fast. The second version introduced in 1939 replaced the fire selection switch between semi-auto and slow. The new model used a fire selection switch between slow (300rpm) and fast (600rpm), this would be just a hair slower than the STG44. This was always one of my biggest gripes with CKR. I never understood why he used the specs from the original BAR and not M1918A2 version

so is goodfellas CKR?

this new ckr is a p.o.s. my gameplay is shot in half. im shooting this guy with mg 3 seconds before him, full clip, point blank, he turns around and kills me. i crater with 30 hp on a jump not even half of the church tower in crossroads. axis mg seems to have an advantage vs allies, smg are now crap, i cant use it on stalingrad anymore because of these axis mgs. dv is more easier to camp on than ever before. this is from my personal experience, many of you say its good, doesnt seem to work for me. im very sure its not because of my abscence, because i know what im doing the same thing as when i was playing frequently and all my aims are dead on. yes i do vid_restarts/reinstall mohaa and the whole shabang. i cant play on this new thing, sorry.

It's just a trial... to see if people like it.

Actually i like CKR it gives more of a challenge in the game play.
