Presenting: RO-Ostfront-Bolt

[Cire]

A few changes over the last few weeks. The server is now part of the =db= community, there are smoke grenades for the commander positions and pistols have also been added as a secondary weapon for all roles. Other changes include hiden scores (alpha sorted) and no death messages.

Weekly game is tonight!

Bleh. I don't think i'll play on your server anymore.

While I did welcome the addition of score hiding and the smoke nades (Didn't seem like they were really needed from what i've played, but I don't mind them much), pistols seem ridiculous.

I guess it's not "Rifles only" anymore.

 

[EvilHobo]

Highly suggest ditching the pistols. Smokes should also go, I really liked the feeling of knowing that the only cover you had was solid and it may have been a sprint away, so you needed to pick your shots and movements wisely.

 

[Cire]

What threat do pistols pose exactly? Other than it prevents those who come on the server thinking it's "bayos only" from no longer running around gigging everyone?

 

[REZ]

I havent yet been on this server, but I like the idea. Bolts only is always a ton of fun. But I'm one of those buggers that will stab you... alot.

Next map to convert - Krivoi Rog. Make it bolt only with a very long clock

"Bayos only" is usually a gentleman's agreement. And if you can't shoot the person, then you probably deserve to get stabbed. You might be able to create a new weapon class altogether if you don't want the rifles to have bayos.

Well you can't remove the buttstock!

 

[REZ]

That's the spirit!

Now that's an accurate description of me. Bayonets and butts if you have the guts.

 

[Shurek]

That could so easily be misconstrued...

Once again the settings have changed slightly. The whole point of this thread is to receive feedback, so I thank everyone who has done so.

First, pistols are gone. There are still smoke grenades, however the commanders only have 1. Also, commanders now carry bolt rifles and the semi-auto rifles have moved to an assault role. The assault role carries 1 fragmentation grenade. Let me stress... there is only 1 commander role per team with 1 smoke grenade and 1 assault role per team with only 1 fragmentation grenade. There are no resupply points and reinforcements are lowered on the maps. Use your grenades wisely.

Other changes include death messages are turned back on and a few more maps in the rotation.

I strongly feel that this is the "sweet spot" as far as roles, weapons and settings go... I hope others feel the same!

New Roles and Weapons:
Axis Commander (1) Kar98 (Bolt Rifle) / 1 Nb. 39 (Smoke Grenade)
Axis Assault (1) G41 and G43 (Semi Auto Rifles) / 1 Mod. 24 (Grenade)
Axis Riflemen (-) Kar98 (Bolt Rifle)

Allie Commander (1) MN9130, M38, and M44 (Bolt Rifles) / 1 RDG-1 (Smoke Grenade)
Allie Assault (1) SVT40 (Semi Auto Rifle) / 1 F-1 (Grenade)
Allie Riflemen (-) MN9130, M38, and M44 (Bolt Rifles)

So it's no longer a bolt only server?

 

[EvilHobo]

You have betrayed us

 

[Cire]

The times I've had people playing online they tell me "a few" grenades wouldn't hurt, so I've given them... 1.

 

[Hummer9120]

You've also given them a G43 and an SVT40.

 

[Cire]

That change took place 2 months ago... again by comments from people "playing" on the server.

 

[Hummer9120]

That's fine... I just wouldn't call it a "Bolt Only" server.

 

[Cire]

It's not anymore as stated in post#26... if I could change the title of the thread, I would.
