HC HighXP 2 What happened:
He said I was lagging and basically said I only get kills due to my lag. I then explained that I have a 30ms response time to your server host and a constant 333 fps. He then and I quote said "ping is not lag. and gg for education. nice parents" and then when I tried to defend myself and explain how "lag" is predominately a result of the response time to a dedicate node in which it's traversing traffic, he then kicked me from the server.

thanks for your report banned !

I personally don't see why the whole rotation of the servers maps were rotated when only one person publicly complained? And especially putting killhouse in it on a 18v18 server was just ridiculous.

Nobody will unban you bingo, especially not if it was the third time!!

Player Skins are like a Wallhack. If i play sometimes on the RS Sniper Only Promod server they all run around as Mario or Luigi. If someome has a Skin like that ofc you can see someone  100x easier than normal Charakters. So ye thats why he WAS banned. Hope he will not turn it on again

I will crack down on them soon. "Impure client files detected" will showup again for them soon enough.

I don't understand how anyone finds it fair to have player skins... like how do you even get the idea in the first place? Didn't you think for a second, before applying these player skins, to see if it's actually considered as a cheat? This is not far away from using WH and other stuff IMO.

Leiizko you bamboolzed me! Here I've been thinking this whole time that they weren't nerfed enough since they still OP lol..I feel like an idiot

Don't get me wrong I have no problems with any other part of the mod, it's a complete step up from the original formula. However I just feel the killstreak requirements need tweaking. 
 
I have had plenty of games already where I get 10 and 12 kills and destroy the enemy team, die and then do it all again and I see a small group of players who can also often do this. It may make it possible for regular players to also get them from time to time, but in the meantime they spend the game either getting bombed out or with little to shoot because better players are already using the killstreaks. All I'm suggesting is a requirement increase that increases the challenge a little and increases the number of gunfights before killstreaks dominate the game. 
 
Also I know a lot of these comments can be taken as criticism, but they come from people who genuinely care about both keeping the server alive and improving it and are perhaps just a bit emotional in their comments.

Okay to put some stuff to rest.
 
Anticamp: It will never be implemented in such way that it stops people from camping. We have never nor will we ever forbid camping in any way, it is a legit way to play. Not everyone wants to just run and gun all the time. Current anticamp system is meant to just give a fighting chance to anyone hunting down a camper - which it does as intended. 
 
Killstreaks: They might be a bit overtuned at the moment, but you also need to keep this in mind - you have only 3 of them so they should be obtainable by a regular player and just fyi compared to before a lot of killstreaks have been nerfed heavily to compensate lower kill count needed. If this is such an issue that a majority of playerbase agrees on it can be temporary switched back to linear progression as before until cod4x19 arrives. 
 
 
And before i hear "but everyone agrees" - no they don't. I've actually heard more positive feedback that negative, it's just that a very few people are very vocal about it. It is impossible to make everyone happy, so best I can do is thread the needle and find a suitable middle ground.
 
 
And one interesting thing: Prior to update everyone was crying out loud how M21 and P90 are OP, in this update I had made a new damage system in which they were nerfed. Suddenly M21 is just fine, no problem. Well this system was disabled after 2 hours of it being implemented. All damage is as it was prior to update yet noone even noticed - funny isn't it?

what the actual fuck happened to this server? where do I even begin? seriously what the fuck. it's so shit all that was supposed to happen was p90 and m21 nerf. Don't listen to the players it's fine. Do what you want without taking any player considerations. This server was decent, sure it had minor flaws but was on the right path to becoming enjoyable again. I have been absent from this server for a few days and I come back to this shit. Seriously I don't know what to say. It's a total unplayable mess. To think I was about to donate. Ac130s everywhere when the guy has 5 kills wtf? can't move without airstrikes bombarding the full match. This server didn't need any of this unnecessary mess. Having to have multiple binds for different killstreaks?! Before I had the simplicity of using every killstreak by simply scrolling down. I'm really disappointed this was the few decent servers left. And now it's just sad to see a good server go to waste. I hope there is a prospect of harmonising the server again. But until there is such change, I think I'm done with Iceops now. I'd like to Thank @KMB, @ProXicT , @$t0rM [= and a few other people I have met.

On the 20th may 2020, it was IceOps Gaming's 10 Year anniversary of being open. 
It was 10 years ago I (IJzzo) started IceOps in the beginning under the name Blue-Clan [Blu]. We started with multiple servers but two became very popular, Softcore mixed and Hardcore TDM.
 
After few month we did a merge our clan with few other players who had a clan called iPower. However we ended this relationship already after 1 week because there were (maybe unjustified) doubts they are clean players. From here we had to rename again and used IceOps as our name for the past 9 and a half years.
 
We added the mods Obscurity and Deathrun on our servers which became very popular and rose the interest in the IceOps community significantly. With the shutdown of the back then most popular Obscurity server "Retox Squad", our clan became the most interesting one for the Obscurity community and we got our second oldest member @Kenai who is still around today with us. I can not remember all the members we had before, over the years they were a lot, so I won't name any here.
When you have played on IceOps before 2015 then you are maybe interested in something we have prepared. The Xfire screenshots token by our players on our servers can be viewed now in the gallery under these links:

Obscurity + Zom DB
Deathrun
Deathrun#2 + Openwarfare custom maps
Hardcore TDM
Softcore Mixed
Openwarfare custom maps + (early)Deathrun
Sniperserver + Openwarfare2
Sniperserver + Deathrun#2
Promod
Zombies ZomDB
 
 
Time had been sometimes very hard with major internal conflicts, from today's point of few I had done some things different, but today we are still here and alive.
Over the time there has surely been some ups and downs. This could be from people leaving that were truly cherished at IceOps, to server updates and even brand new systems put in place for the better of the community like Sourcebans for example. 
Speaking now on behalf of the IceOps staff and myself, we would all like to say a huge thank you for continuing to be here. 
Running a community for so long has had its toll on the member count, but for the ones that are still here, you are not forgotten at all. We will surely be staying here running as long as you are here with us. 
 
Much Love
 
IceOps Staff

@Leiizko did you add inactivity kicking?
I would hate that as well. 
Probably has to do with the most shittiest site ever, gametracker.com which is banning servers like crazy.
However this will not help to server popularity which is already in danger considering the issues with new update.

// CHOICE_HP( id, bg, streak, txt ) // CHOICE_HP( 0, "radar_mp", 3, "UAV" ) CHOICE_HP( 1, "cuav_mp", 3, "CUAV" ) CHOICE_HP( 3, "asf_mp", 4, "ASF" ) CHOICE_HP( 4, "carepackage_mp", 4, "CP" ) CHOICE_HP( 6, "artillery_mp", 5, "ARTY" ) CHOICE_HP( 8, "airstrike_mp", 7, "AIRSTRIKE" ) CHOICE_HP( 9, "agm_mp", 7, "AGM" ) CHOICE_HP( 11, "predator_mp", 12, "PREDATOR" ) CHOICE_HP( 12, "mannedheli_mp", 12, "CHOPPER_GUNNER" ) CHOICE_HP( 14, "helicopter_mp", 16, "HELI" ) CHOICE_HP( 15, "ac130_mp", 16, "AC130" ) Thinking about this as a final number of kills for hardpoints (streak column). Opinions?

First of all awesome work. Thank you

For me alone the Hit location multiplier is just fine, it's actually logical. However it needs getting used to and aiming more precisely. (I'm totally fine with this) BUT many people will think that the server is bugged because for example they shoot a guy from a close range with desert or a bolt action sniper and get no kill, just a hit reg. Which might lead to fewer players on the server.
So I suggest raising the numbers a bit more! like what @$t0rM [= suggested.

I do think the p90 damage is okay.
As for m21 maybe      [ "m21_mp" ] = 25      (Mostly bcoz even with 67 DMG it was still one shot killing in the lower torso from a long range too. If this is fixed then nevermind)

Just some maybes: 
Maybe for Desert      [ "deserteagle_mp" ] = 60
And finally WeaponClassFallout     [ "lmg" ] = 1600 or 1700
And       [ "pistol" ] = 1300 or 1400
And       [ "rifle" ] = 2300 or 2400

Alright let me explain it a bit: P90 has 100 Bullets, you need more than 20 or maybe 30 bullets to kill someone. in this time your dead by nearly every other weapon.
Same is MP5: you need more than 10 Bullets to kill someone
AK74u: same as MP5 10 bullets
 
^ all this bullets are counted on 100DMG
 

and now the snipers:
M21: 1 Bullet 100-34DMG
M40A3: 1 Bullet 100-34DMG
 

many people are leaving due to the update, I played 5-7 games now and all of the players want the old version back they said

So with this it is a really grey area as to what you should do.
 
You go onto any call of duty game, even the latest ones taht come out like for example Warzone, you have tones of campers that camp on roofs etc. So i can understand the fustration from that point.

However with the M21 being rather overpowered if that is the case, then this will have to be investiaged. I must admit, i have not played on the Hardcore server for a while due to irl commitments. But if it is being abused with camping, @RedRose suggested something really simple which i don't see as bad thing at all personally:
 
Simple things can change actions of people. I would most certainly hesitate from jumping streight to a warning, as fustrating as it can be, as it happens in all games with camping. But if the M21 is at a unfair advantage, then fair enough, investigations can happen.
 
As said though, i have not played for a long while so please do advise.
 
Hope we can come to a understanding as, im sure you will agree, IceOps has a lovely Family and Communtiy.
