I havê already replied to the nrns server feedback km battlelog (
https://battlelog.co/post.php?id=13751&page=3#)
Since the thread never got replied, I am opening a topic here, só the admin council can ser this.
I am a consistent player on NRNS servers, because I get the lowest ping possible and the weapons hit something at least.
Oposed to many other servers where they hit nothing.
Let me clear some of this and try to give the best input I can.
1.
Snipers one-shoting.
In my opinion the ONLY sniper that should one-shot IS the M95. Why? Cause its the most powerfull sniper in the game and can shoot through reinforced glass easily.
The M24 should leave non armoured troops (medics/specs...) at 10%hp and armoured ones at 25% (anti-tank, suports...)
The L9 should do the above but 5% hp for non armoured troops and 15% armoured ones. Or something close to this.
SVD and QBU-98 are fine.
At this moment, NRNS servers are camping grounds for snipers, since it doesn't require almost any skill to snipe. Just aim, shoot, repeat 500.
2.
One shoting APC and Armour.
I think its fine, because it prevents armoured vehicle abuse (engineers everywhere!), which leads to spawn rape and ruins the game.
Do you remember those servers in that 2 tanks with engineers could conquer the entire map? That's idiotic.
I hate tank who**ing!
3.
Weapon damage and accuracy pumped up.
Great, this is how BF2 should be. I got mad a lot of times in other servers due to the disgusting hitbox.
A bit on the plus side, sometimes its a bit spray and pray, but its fine for me. You just need to get used to it.
THE BIGGEST THING THAT MATTERS IS THE PING! Sometimes its ridiculous, but thats the way BF2 was coded.
4.
Rules.
This is my main doubt/issue.
"No baserape/spawn kill" , yet on Sharqi Peninsula MEC forces are constantly base raping the USMC TV Station with the chopper (Mi-28). WTF??
Also, some admins need more discretion before punishing people.
Ex: If someone is passing through the spawn and kills someone , its ok. but if an admin is killed that way, the killer is kicked right away. Soooo, admins are like god? Not good.
The other things are fine for me.
Love the points system. 10/10
**Someone replied this:**
"1 shot kill sniper mod is fantastic.
10 second re-spawn is also decent.
Permanent sprint bar also a nice touch.
One suggestion for all maps server would be to reduce the "Fog of War" on both Karkland and Blue Pearl slightly to increase sniping range but that's purely because I favor the sniper kits. 1 or 2 additional maps would be a cherry on top.
The all maps server is the only 1 I can play on without ping/lag issues as I'm based in Cape Town, SA.
Thanks so much for the effort you guys put in to bring BF2 back (extended to all parties involved), nothing quite matches up to the game play experience on BF2 (imo).
Thanks and regards. "
**To which I replied:**
"agree on the sprint bar, and the 10 sec respawn is balanced.
Other thing is that BF2 is old as hell, but DICE will never release such a masterpiece in coming years. BF3 and BF4 are utter crap
Now, on the sniper sugestion I completely disagree!
Snipers received a massive buff, which needs balancing.
They are already one shoting everyone with little efort. That's why on a team with 25 players, almost 15 of them are snipers...
Removing/reducing the fog of war would screw the maps even more, since you would have pretty much more camping!
And maps like Karkand and Blue Pearl that are suposed to be infantry oriented, you would have more sniper campers?? Big no.
Like I said above, snipers need balance, because with the accuracy buff, you need almost 0 skill to snipe.
I'm not saying that there aren't good snipers, I am a sniper myself from time to time... But lots of times when I was sure to miss the shot, I shot anyways just to try, and many of those times I got a kill.
Best thing that NRNS could do in my opinion, is to try and create an AIX2.0 server . (it's vanilla settings are perfect for MP without modding anything)"
Thank you all.
*hoping that machete sees this*
