So I've noticed that the points modifier for the magnum in Big Flem's is set at 2.0. Maybe I'm just a bit too nit picky, but with a one hit kill weapon, isn't that an egregiously high point ratio? I mean, it doesn't take much skill to get a mag kill.

If it's the same for everyone what does it matter?

The thing is, all the weapons are easy kill so the ratio is exactly the same as on squid's or my server.

Your right T3, It should not matter, Myself I like the way Flems server is set up, if I what to live a little longer I just go to Squids.

Well he's saying that you shouldn't get such high points in the stats for a mag kill, but since its easy kill across the board then the points modifiers really don't matter.

Oh I just thought that the mag was the only easy kill weapon on flems, while the rest were normal. Guess not.

Well I do believe it's easy kill across the board.

Funny thing is, if they ever updated Flem's server easy kill would go away. It is no longer possible to modify weapons like that.. believe me, we tried.

The easy kill (one shot) with the Magnum on Flem's makes it fun, fast and furious.. but remember,it's just as easy and fast to die from it, as it is to kill with it. My favorite is the Crossbow, once you get the hang of it, and learn the lead times, it's just as fast and deadly as the Magnum . PJ's.

Granted the magnum is an easy weapon to kill/die by but the issue is that unless you get really good with it, the increase in the points multiplier won't matter. Even with the one shot kill it does tend to be a difficult weapon to kill with.

The mag is a great weapon that i think separates the unable from the skilled. The mag requires good aim. Most people I see on servers that have a RPG, are scrambling for the RPG. They dont use any other weapon. If you can shoot and kill efficiently with a mag, you have a high shoot at being tops on a server.

The problem I have on Flem's with the mag is that sometimes its two shots for a combine, while only one for a rebel. That takes something away from the game. It makes the combine have the slight advantage that could cost a team the win. Some people will say "Well, the Rebels have the crowbar which is fast that the StunStick", but who uses the crowbar/stunstick in a fast paced, high kill server like Flem's? It doesn't work.

Otherwise the mag is awesome. It separates the RPG lovers and the ORB lovers from the skilled. A player is more skilled if he can aim up one shot compared to putting machine gun rounds or a RPG near the target. The spread of the machine gun/the explosion of the RPG allows bad aim to still get kills.

And the ORB is just plain annoying. Ask Eyerock.

The stats are the same for rebel and combine so u shouldn't have more problems killing a combine unless they have suit.
