The spawn times on items are crazy too high. I literally sat on a 5health pack and went from 10hp to 100 in seconds. Many times in battles I have just sat on a health kit and was almost impossible to kill. Lol the last time I brought it up in game someone said "I hardly see that as a problem" lol

Anyways. Its crazy unfair.

I think it keeps the action going and rewards players for knowing map layout.

I saw someone camp on a smg nade spawn, and could shoot them inifnitely by holding down alt fire.  I got a little pissed from the spamming I got today so I made a nice spray in about 5 minutes for the team that did it:



{pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name
Jessica343: so I can get heals
{pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea
{pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl)
Jessica343: hahah

Keeps the action going? How so? all it does is make it so one person can sit on a health spawn and take on 2 people without dieing. Its cheap.

ok.. if you are saying "rewards players for knowing the map" actually means "basically lets them perform an exploit" then I completely agree wtih you.

I figured the SMG spam one out on NFS and spent about 20 seconds sitting outside the enemy base lobbing them - I started to feel dirty but before I could stop a teammate jumped in front of me and I died. It was pretty funny. I agree - the respawn time is a little bit too high.

you shouldn't have that ability in nfs.  the reason i say this is because in the last version of nfs, there is no smg or airburst except in the middle of the level.  i think we need to remove all the old version of the maps from the server so they stop coming up in the mapcycle.  we have new versions for a reason.

The version on there now either has one hidden somewhere or else someone hax0red one into the game - I've only ever gotten them off of someone else. You could just remove the SMG nades, that would solve the problem!


What I really wish was that you could indepdently control the spawn times of each item - then you could do something like a 10 minute spawning orb or a 30 second spawning shotty ammo box. I think if you went through and tweaked all the spawn times you could have a really positive impact on gameplay dynamics.

I do apologize but I thought you knew that you left a smg on the high ground right outside of each teams base. I have known about that ever since I put the current version on the Tomb but I thought you had done that on purpose.

The only version on the server is your current version as I have double checked that multiple times.

I would like to get rid of it but it is really low priority stuff. With your stuff what I am most excited about is getting Pond up and running properly.
