Barrysworld Mutliplayer Servers. Where has the realism gone?

[old.Rico99]

Hi all,

As a regular BW Realism player, along with my clan, we were a little surprised and annoyed to find the Realism servers (objective 3 and 4) running witout the mods on.

The MP game is ok but without realism we find it not as fun. I was wondering if this is just a mistake? Or a trial? Or permanent even?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Rico

i take it Barrysworld use "realism" as meaning Friendly Fire On servers?

If not plz tell me the difference.
I try to only play on FF on servers too, its the only true way to play and understand tactics imo.

 

[old.Rico99]

No thats not what i mean.

Usually BW have 2 objective servers where they run the 'realism' which means weapons do more damage, and you only get 3 nades and rockets if you have one, also shotguns are less powerful. It means you die easier at first but once you get good its so much more fun, and in comparison to the original game its brilliant.

The realism servers on BW dont run friendly fire by the way.

I really hope they put the mod back on objective 3 and 4 soon!

The Realism mod does not work with 1.1 yet, which we have just upgraded to.

 

[old.Rico99]

Do you have an ETA of when 1.1 will work


Heh... our clan tried playing on the non realism and was quite funny... takes minutes to kill anyone

Cheerio

yeah.... I remember.. that was fun.. we switched a to a realism server later on and it did improve my aiming a little as more shots were needed to kill an enemy, but I still miss some of those deadly torso shots from the realism...

anyways... on www.alliedassault.com it said something about a new cpr verision... maybe the techies from BW wanna check that out?

I'll poke the server bods in the general direction.

im sure people would like "base" FF on servers too.
Get away from the Rocket/grenades spam of the FF off servers and requires more skill and teaches teamwork morethan FF off does.

also qives us who are playing on BY FF on servers somewhere else to go as BW servers usually are better.

thats a possibility

I agree that there is little skill involved in constantly lobbing grenades in crowded corridors or rooms for easy kills
...it's just that the BW servers are currently free from deliberate TK'ing biatches and peeps whinging that they have been accidently tk'ed from a rogue gren and disrupting games by retaliating.

However if enuff players want Teamdamage switched I'm sure it can be sorted.

Oh and whilst this we're talking about servers settings, I think its time that g_inactiveSpectate was turned on. Now that player limits have been lowered to try and help with laggy servers, theres an awful lot of people who idle as spectators, taking up valuable player slots and stopping other people from joining the servers who wanna play.

We just want our realism back

 

[old.Rico99]

Harrah its back! Cheers BW techies
