Nice to see you on this site Optimizer plz dont take my post to be Offensive, as this is only my Opinion.

[legacy-bot_deform]

All ways loved this mod, it just looks and feels great to play. There was just one things that really ****** me of, maps. There the same as the last mod update, yes there's three new maps but i was kind of hoping for a few more, 6/9 would would have been about right...


"STILL THE BEST FPS MOD OUT THERE"

[legacy-eviL<3]

0wnage Mod!

[BuffyTheSlayer]

eviL&lt;3 nice shot again

:up:
also I try to take screenshot by
"Aliases[36]=(Command="togglescreenshotmode |OnRelease shot | OnRelease togglescreenshotmode",Alias="ScreenY")"
in this mod's user ini but didnt working I cant take without HUD screenshot :cry:
and could you convert all player model in UT2004 too ?
they are so nice models too :heart: :heart:
thank you :up:

[legacy-eviL<3]

[legacy-Carbs]

OPERATION THUNDERCLAW
3) Fixed tunnel texture error where texture in mesh changed during firing

Nope, that's still there, sorry. Fun mod though, I love the aiming system. I just wish the bots would actually follow the orders I give. Nice stuff, hope to see more from you in the future!

[RichyB]

Yea i got some more advise for you.

1 A lot more new maps would be great.
There is nothing worse then downloading a mod and finding all the old maps there and only 2 or 3 new ones. Ill bet with in a few weeks you will see players disappearing of servers because there is not enough content to keep them happy.
2 Maps are unbalanced
Some maps in the new release are way off balance ok base swapping but that’s not a remedy you still have vastly unreliable game results. Bluenoon was designed to make for fair games. In the terrorist camp you have a bridge so you think the foe has the advantage wrong the good guys can sneak up behind them and take them out. I don’t care if you think bluenoon is garbage but its a perfect example of how the layout of a map should work.
3 Annoying sounds that repeat every few seconds.
Very important there is nothing worse then playing a map and hearing the same sounds over and over again. Maps DustStorm ChinaMoon shotdown and there all by one author. These maps need to have there sound affect removed or remove the maps after all there old maps.
3 A rang of new weapons for both teams
This is some thing I was hoping for in this release but I and we did not get that. A shotgun a Uzi would go down well but there are hundreds you could do so I want say them all.
4 Player skins
This field is quite important not as but will give more to the hole package of SF. Look at ut2004 could you imagine 4 player skins for that game I cant.
5 More music tracks
Music adds to experience of the map again could you imagine ut2004 with three music tracks. In order to stand up against the best you need way more music tracks say 8
6 Game types
I would like to see two new ones and tdm being the third. I am going to say it again could you imagine ut2004 with one game type I cant. If you had at least three then players would have more to play and will stay a lot longer.
7 mappers
Optimizer keeping mappers happy and replying to them is the best way to keep a healthy workflow between mapper and yourself. If this connection between them is lost for some time then you will lose the level designer, meaning a couple of maps that would be on the mod will not be.
