Have installed a mod which will assist newbie players or those that are not playing as well as the good players by giving handicaps.

It effectively watches scores and players health and amount of time you stay alive and adjusts money, health etc on round restart for that player if required. Initially it will help everyone on first round until it knows the playing field.

I have disabled the options which would hinder the good players.

*** Please report any problems or your views. It might not stay if it doesnt do what it should.

fuck that snowy, i know its the season of good will etc but that means half the server will have an advantage if your shite.
next thing will be to only let good players have knives, no cnut helped me when i first played and it didn't hinder me in becoming a CSS GOD

I just did a search on google for it and found a few forums where people are saying that it's very drastic, some people have started with 500hp and some have started with 34hp.

I hate anything that will penalise you for playing well, yet reward you for playing absolute shit. Take it off the server!

There was no newbie mod when I first started playing on your server, I was terrible at first, I was getting 0-12, a month later I was getting 10-6. Newbie mods will not help newbies grow and develop as players, it will just fuck the game up for the rest of us.

I dont like the idea TBH, it would mean devil will start off having 500hp every round

no but seriously, i think this will annoy regulars and is a very drastic change to the game and the way people will play the game.

my two cents

I do agree with your comments so far guys. I mentioned it to DD and we thought we would try it. Like I said...if it turns out people dont want it or it shite then it gets removed.

Like any mod, you have to try it to see what it is like!

[24thfret]

You just dont want to take it off, after all the time it took you to put it on, ya cheeky monkey!

[Snowman]

Hahaha ... fortunately its only about 3 deletes and 1 update to remove it. I will let people pay around with it today... and then probably remove it.

Sounds very interesting tbh. As long as good players arn't being penalised i'm happy. If less skilled players get a boost that's all good for that battle but as everyone has said, the only way to develop the skills for real is to practice for real.

Let the great big BIATCH in the sky decide this mod's fate.

I was just playing on the server with Blaze, Chester, Hawk and some other people who are too insignificant to mention

In the first round everybody's health goes up by 4 hp every 5 seconds, this means that you have to shoot people 4-5 times with the deagle to kill them! In one round I did 140 damage to a guy, then he does 60 to me and i'm dead! On scoutzknives I was doing well, so this mod decides I have more money than I need and promptly takes $13000 from me, leaving me with $3000, if that were a map where you have to buy weapons, i'd have never played on BIATCH again!

Another thing is that it changes the financial foundations of Counter Strike, sometimes, you get more money for loosing than you do for winning, I was beating the hell out of Blaze and Damn, yet I could only afford an AK and 30 rounds of ammo! I lost a round and I could buy everything I needed!

well i just played and well it is gd, but then again it is bad, playing on office, my best map, and had a realy gd score 10-0 or soemthing like that, the i died it toke all my money of me so i had nothing!!!!
that really annoys me....
i rekcon u should take it of and totally agree with 24 and wont mould n00bs into becoming gd decent players like me

[24thfret]

Yep, it's also terrible for knife fights, if one guy has 140hp and the other has 100hp who has an unfair advantage?

[wedge]

yeah snowy i would say take it off or its becoming too arcadeish, what the fuck were you thinking you whore, no point asking devil for his opinion cause we know that dont count.
i think somthing this drastic should be tested on our war server we can give regs the passy and let them decide.

[Snowman]

Ok fair enough.. Fret and Chester have made some good points having played with it and I can see the downside of it. I shall remove it now but it might need a server reboot later.

Wedge your right, could of put on the Warserver but I still dont think it would have got the comments and its better when a server is more full as the mod has the potential to show it fall value or not.

[[-=63rd=-]chester]

thanks alot snowy, that be better wiht it gone, nad it also calls u a n00b!!!

[Snowman]

It was telling you the truth

[[-=63rd=-]chester]

HAHAHA! 4 sure
