6 pointsDue to it being highly requested anti camp system has been added to the server. Rest of the updates will come in a patch at a later date. How it works: You will see a DMG % number in bottom right side of your screen. Your shots do the shown % of base weapon damage. Moving will keep this % at 100. Minimum damage is 33%, snipers keep their full damage (subject to change). Additionally wallbangs now only deal 25% of base damage and are also affected by the anti camp damage modifier. Lastly player HP has been increased to 50, so a lot of weapons will no longer insta kill. The system is still in experimental phase and might require some tweaking to get the balance right. TL;DR: Anti camp added, if you camp you do less damage, Wallbangs do 75% less damage, Player HP increased from 30 to 50.

The changes are as follows: Hardcore TDM, FFA and Softcore TDM servers: * Mapvote system has been improved: - You are now able to move up and down the list - If multiple maps have the same amount of votes the map is chosen randomly - Maps now dynamically change depending on the amount of players * End of game stats have been replaced with leaderboards: - Top 5 players will now be showcased at the end of the game - Must have atleast 200 kills to be showcased - Banned players will be removed - If you are inactive for more than 7 days, your stats will be hidden until you play a game - If you are inactive for more than 90 days, your stats will be removed * $stats command: - Now shows Trueskill rating, KDA rating and your global rank (min 200 kills to be ranked) - Global rating will update only at the start of the match - If you are inactive for more than 7 days, your stats will be hidden until you play a game - If you are inactive for more than 90 days, your stats will be removed * Added $report command - Using this command will report a player to our discord channel - It is advised to use $pbss command before reporting a player - Abuse of this command will result in ban! * VIP perks: - Icon on the scoreboard - Icon in killcam feed - VIP welcome - Hardline perk: 1 kill less for hardpoints Obscurity: * Added $report command We also plan to change some of the dead servers soon. - The IceOps Staff -
4 pointsAll these gameplay updates aside, is there anyway we can get a new map rotation? These maps are getting quite old and a lot of players are asking for new maps, as admins we can change the maps ourselves but the players cant without having half the players voting yes and when it's full of 36 people, it's very difficult to actually get the map to change. There is quite a few maps where it is literally impossible to get out of the spawn trap , e.g. Vacant, chinatown ,crash i actually switch to spectator during these maps(most of the time) due to not being able to get out. I'm not an inexperienced player either and even for me its extremely difficult when the spawns are being hard locked by campers and grenades. Or maybe a function that is able to be put in that gives the team that cannot move from spawn a chance to actually get out.

HC HighXP server update

Should appear in the list soon. My bad it was not running promod as it should be. I think I used it for something else long time ago and then forgot about it. But this is fixed now. -

HC HighXP server update
Rem-Chan and 3 others reacted to leiizko for a post in a topic
The camping issue: I've been thinking about a different kind of "anti-camp" system where the player would receive a damage penalty instead of killing him. So in a event he camps for too long, his damage will be reduced by some number, making wallbang kills very difficult. Nade issue: If delay doesn't help we can always try giving nades to people as 1 kill streak reward instead. This should eliminate a lot of nade spam. The hardpoints: The shop that was described was already present on the server a while ago. People disliked it so we removed it. Right now it will work kind of like "select a class". You will have extra menu in which you will be able to set your hardpoint loadout. And since players will be limited to 3 hardpoints, we can let them keep previously earned, so no more wasting them. Second smaller TDM server does seem like a nice idea. Perhaps switching the softcore one with 12 slot HC one. -

HC HighXP server update
Hexenx and 2 others reacted to leiizko for a post in a topic
Hey there everyone! There is a huge update in the works and while at it I would like to get some community input on the current state of the server and any additional suggestions, ideas, problems to solve, etc. A bit of a sneak peak on the bigger upcoming features: Ranks above 55, a "soft" prestige, Hardpoint (killstreak) selection, each player will be able to select 3 hardpoints he would like to use in a match. I've been also toying with the idea of disabling nades for the first X seconds after a player spawns to reduce the spam cycle (spawn -> throw nade - > die -> repeat, all in very short amount of time) The target date for the update is approx. end of the september, giving us enough time to implement requested changes and solve other problems. - The IceOps Staff -

HC HighXP server update
CROdator and 2 others reacted to 610 *.* for a post in a topic
In a server (don't remember the name right now) if you camp over like 30 seconds (just a number), the counter goes +1, a warn comes out and if you shoot at an enemy, it's like shooting at yourself (the enemy survives and you die). As soon as you move, the penality goes off. At the end of the game a writing appears with " Camper of the game: your_name" for the player who has camped several times. -
3 pointsAnticamp update attempt 2 Ditching the complex math behind it and keeping it simple this time. Player health is now 30 again, wallbang damage does 67% damage. Anti camp has 3 levels: 100%, 67% and 34%. Semi auto sniper rifles start at 67% damage. On average everytime you go down a level, you will need 1 more shot to kill a player. To drop a level you must be camping for 10 seconds per level. (10 seconds camp - 67%, 20 second camp - 34%). This timer will recharge 1.6s per every 1 real second you keep moving (you move a bit more than 6 seconds and you can camp for 10 seconds). The timer is invisible, you can only see your current damage. What counts as not camping: As long as you walk in a straight line you will not trigger the anti camp. Rapidly moving left and right or moving while ADSing will count as camping due to greatly reduced speed, however you can normaly crouch walk or even moving while prone will not trigger the anti camp. In a nutshell - if you are not ADSing and holding the W key down, it will not count as camping. Also curious if hitreg got a bit better.

3 pointsI did ask for the Demo provided and i personally thought he was using something such as No recoil&Wallhack, i even got a second opinion and they thought the same aswell, i didn't ban ban due to head admins being more experienced then i am and maybe they would choose a better decision other then i did. However due to him not being banned, i will personally take it upon myself to keep an eye on this player! I am happy to recieve any demo's or evidence regarding this matter

3 pointsI would say the wallbang damage should be set back to what it was prior to this update. The walls being penetrable wasn't the root cause of the problem anyway. The problem is campers who just hold one spot that is hard to reach from the opposing team. Yes, on crash this very spot is also easily penetrable through a wall, but that's just in this particular case. And after many other gameplays, I think it's safe to say that the anti-camp feature should really be applied to sniper class, too, regardless of the weapon of choice. Since this update, so many players started using various sniper rifles, mainly M21, SVD and Barret. So half of the server consists of snipers now. Also, increasing the players' health resulted in people asking if this is still an HC server. Deagle isn't one shot one kill anymore, even with higher impact. And even though the health got increased, some weapons, such as M21, are still OP. So I would go the other way around, that is decreasing the damage of the problematic weapons. Nevertheless, it feels like we're getting into an XY problem here. And I think we should really focus on solving X, rather than trying to figure out ways to solve Y which is actually a problem caused by X. In other words, the problem was that on this server there are too many notorious campers. This problem is now being mitigated by lowering weapon damage in case the player doesn't move for a certain period of time. And although it could still use some polishing, I think it's this that we should focus on. After this issue is addressed, we can think about the other problems we've talked about, such as the problem with grenade and RPG spamming.

3 pointsUpdate: Wallbang damage has been increased from 25% to 40%. If this still feels too weak it will be further increased. Player health has been increased to 50 for real this time. There was a bug that caused health to revert back to 30. Also clarification on this change: the purpose is not to stop one shot kills but to aid in general gameplay balance. Most of the weapons have so much damage, the damage reduction wouldn't help unless it went into absurdly low levels. As for the snipers it is a bit trickier. Every sniper rifle does 70 damage per shot meaning the damage would need to be reduced by 30% to stop one shot kills. If anti camp worked on snipers as well in current state, a bit of dancing around would be all it takes to keep the modifier value above 70%.

HC HighXP server update
ProXicT and 2 others reacted to CROdator for a post in a topic
-Maybe we could set the snipers to have same thing but with longer delay, so they can stay put but not for too long. Or as @Milad noted, some snipers are not so problematic.. so lower their dmg a bit or include semi-auto snipers to the anti camp. -Also we could increase wallbang damage to 50%, some weapons barely do anything through walls now. Some walls are easily penetrated, like in the killhouse map, there is no helping that map, hah. And I noticed that the percentage of damage sometimes starts at the value which was active when you died, don't know if it' is a visual or something else. -
3 pointsThe thing is in our servers you shouldn't consider m21 a sniper!! It actually is an assault with a scope and a low recoil... it is really hard to kill some of these m21 campers in some specific locations (not in every map of course), especially now that you can't wallbang them either. so what to do?! one option is to make it hard for them to kill (like reduced damage to 30% so 4shots of m21 is needed for one kill)

3 pointsThank you very much for this update, @leiizko, it's a noticeable change! I have a few notes based on a few gameplays. I would definitely apply the same rules to snipers, however, with a different rate. And maybe even based on if the scope is a bolt action (M40, R700), or semi-automatic (M21, SVD, Barret) rifle. The DMG status should be reflected in the killcam. Now when someone kills me with apparently lower DMG, I can still see my DMG status. The wallbang damage got decreased way too much, I think. If you see a player running behind a fence made of sheet metal, it should be penetrable easily. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible in CoD4 to differentiate between individual object entities and set the penetrability respectively. And even if it was doable, it would be so much hassle to go through all the objects. And during normal gameplay, wallbangs are inherently not the issue anyway, the problem is when campers start abusing them by shooting through one wall for the duration of one map (which should get mitigated by the anticamp feature anyway ). So, if at all, I would decrease the wallbang damage a bit less. Regarding the grenade spam situation - which can get pretty atrocious in a higher player count - it would be nice if the grenades were gained only by running a certain distance. For example, after running 500m, you'd get a grenade. This, I believe, would improve the gameplay significantly, as there are many players who throw random grenades right after they spawn, making the battle look more like a minefield. As it was already noted, I would also try doing something with the RPGs, either remove them from the mod altogether or at least reduce the number of RPGs; It's like with grenades, many players just tend to spam them into random places. Other than that, great job, @leiizko and thank you again

3 pointsUseful update. I did not notice any special losses, everything suits me, BUT it seems to me that the damage through the walls should have been left somewhere by 30-35%, because in some places it looks like a too strong nerf. Of course, I am against spamming through walls, but for some maps this is a useful feature. Since there are many little things that interfere to hit the target. Well IDK. What do you think? Good job @leiizko

CROdator and 2 others reacted to Milad for a post in a topic
I think the S&D HC server should be changed into a promod s&d. its more popular and way more people like playing that way. the fact that there are guns like M21 sniper, LMGs and p90 makes the game experience Not-Pro! I think the pro players like to play Promod rather than TDM and having these guns around in the S&D server forces them to leave. -

Ban appeal for NENENENENENENENE
CROdator and 2 others reacted to leiizko for a post in a topic
After some internal discussion we have come to following conclusion: Using character skins that do give an advantage to the player will not be tolerated. However as this is not as severe as general cheats we have decided we will give another chance to players who do a proper and respectful appeal. If same player is caught twice using said skins, the ban will not be lifted under any circumstance! You are welcome to return to our servers as long as you remove those skins. -Ban Appeal Granted Sincerely, -The IceOps Staff
