Overdone Weapon Mods

So, what do you think of all the servers starting to make these weapons mods that are completely over done? In my opinion all it comes down to at that point is luck. Most of the weapons kill instantly, and its generally no fun because it just increases spawn camping. I'm just glad the private servers I frequent haven't done this kind of (Please refrain from swearing).

Thoughts?

Thats why i balance the mods, i don't make em overly hyperactively nutsy.

Try suggesting to balance it out. SOmehow i don't think a 500 shot m79 is a good idea. Like, suggest if the barret fires rockets, decrease ammo, and put a short fire interval, but startup time. Also, long reload time.

I dunno, like decrease accuracy, make less ammo. Put a shotgun that has loads of power, but only 2 shots. Turn the law into an artillery cannon. Give the deagles explosive shots, but decrease the ammo to 2.

I'm personally waiting for someone to promote a 'real' mod.

I think the whole idea of modding, personally, is absolutely GHETTO. For one thing, especially with EXTREME modding, they look like garbage. I was shooting my ever-so-trusty Desert Eagles this morning and they were launching knives!! What?! And to have a Barrett launching rockets?! Why did we ever come up with the LAW in the first place? Or the M79?! Another issue I really, REALLY have about it is that it no longer requires a player to have any experience or skill. Any goon could come along, pull the trigger whilst pointing any random gun in your general direction, and the next thing you know, you're a fresh coat of paint on the wall. Even if you ARE good @ soldat.

Law is a good weap if you KNOW how to use it. So is teh barret. My dream: Law with startup time and three shots, but fast reload. Scooter X, just play in a real dedicated server like U13, gamearena, iiNet or himitsukichi.

What about booster guns? they dont kill ya.
yeah, so what if it's annoying? Find a way to get past it and stick with it.

I agree with Chakra. I originally liked the idea of the weapon modding because I thought people would be more creative than 1000-shot M79s. I'm waiting to see a themed mod, something that makes the game more interesting, not just comical.

Am I just not aware of ongoing projects?

I dont even bother going to weapon mod servers unless the mod has a realistic point. (1.2.1 mod, modified 1.3, etc...) And usually the title of the server will mention what the weapon mod is. If not, its probably another extreme wm soldat server.

^ For the above:

Can you list some redeeming qualities about your WM to us in point format?

Oh, I agree. teh LAW is good. You just have to know how to use it. It's good for a quick kill, fun to ambush people with it. :o) And thanks for the info on those servers, 117. It's just that I had gotten back on soldat after about a month of just not being able to play, and noticed the new version was out, so I got it, and it freaked me out. I thought soldat had just taken a huge dive. (For me, personally that is. I guess lots of people enjoy the heavy mods)

And, to sortof agree with Relenquished and Chakra, I don't really mind the modding so much, as long as it's - dare I say it? - done responsibly? (perhaps not the best choice of words, but to heck with it) So that we don't have the 1000 shot m79 with an instant recoil/reload thingy. Although fun as it sounds at first, to actually put it in the game kinda' dampens the fun. The strategy and skill factors get nixed. But I wont go into that again...

*Edit*

But I just thought of this: Wouldn't it be totally tits if when someone threw a grenade @ you, you could shoot it and it would blow up in their face?! Does anyone out there think that could be done? Shooting grenades & blowing them up?

Its been done, thats what a mine layer is for ^^, just make the minigun/minimi shoot normal grenades, and carpet the area with it. Then shoot 1 m79 grenade to detonate em all.

on all my servers the barret is nothing, just a rifle that fires a scout probe. its a tactical weapon.

Do u have teh mine layer? For those pesky ppl about camping, transform the chainsaw, barret and knife into healing weaps, and switch on FF... F13lD m3d1c5!!!111!!one!!

Imagine, running into battle with a morphine pack, healing ur team mates

No, I wasnt talking about a weapon that uses grenades as ammo. I mean, if Person A throws a grenade, and person B shoots the grenade with his Ak-47, thus blowing up the grenade in Person A's face! I dont think it's possible, but I think that would be cool.
