automatically picking up ammo without even having to crouch down or choose to pick it up? pretty crazy as well, silent or not. i think the sound is way more tactical, and shouldn't be removed, but that is just me. really there should be an option. you should have to be crouched and should have to push a button to pick up the ammo.
ak74u and mp5 or mp5k being REMOTELY similar in damage? are you kidding me? the stopping power depends on the size and type of the round fired. accuracy and recoil depend on the barrel length and weight of the gun. which also affects the time it would take to bring it up to ADS, speed of movement, etc. guns should NOT be balanced, they should reflect the actual elements at play.
just saying.
now, that being said, the promods with no sniper sway and all that garbage is, for some reason, what competitions and people want to use, so i deal with the ridiculousness of some of it because hey, after all, we're playing VIDEO GAMES not real life war simulators or anything similar.
but if you want to talk tactical, reload sound should be somewhat loud, doing things like changing stance at least to and from prone should make sound, sniper rifles shouldn't be able quick scope or jump scope with any accuracy whatsoever, etc. etc.
i should mention though, i don't think blackops promods should be designed to be exactly like cod4 promods. cod4 promods weren't perfect. why eliminate anything different? if people want to play cod4 with updated graphics and new maps, that's kinda cheesy in my opinion. the goal of a promod should, in my opinion, be to tweak the game to make it more suited to competitive pc gaming, while still trying to maintain the integrity of the game being modded. dive to prone is part of the game. people used to cod4 don't like it. i don't like it much myself although sometimes when in a pinch and having to bail to reload or something it can come in handy to get behind cover, etc.
promods shouldn't be designed to make every game exactly the same and every gun exactly the same and everything as easy/balanced/fair as possible. being able to work your way through an entire match without ever giving away your position until you shoot.... that's pretty lame if you ask me. don't walk over bodies if you don't want to pick up the ammo and make a sound (a sound which makes sense to have included). they should be designed to improve the competitive nature and implement features that make matching/scrimming more efficient and easy to conform to specific league rules. just my .02.
note: not knocking xerok with this or the last post. i prefer promod to regular barebones by far. everyone has their opinions on how things should run, doesn't mean mine is better than anyone else's or should be adopted by xerok or anyone else. keep working on this stuff man, thanks!
First off I have not reloaded a real gun, but that's irrelevant as this isn't meant to be realistic. And to your idea on having to crouch and hit a key to pick up ammo but keep the sound would be great idea. Finally I completely agree that xKMod shouldn't be a copy of promod as these are completely different games so a copy of promod won't work very well.
Also what would you guys think about keeping the nade pin sound? I mean removing cooking already makes their usage in close quarters invective so the nade sound might as well be removed since it was only audible in close quarters.
OMG. Now its everything ok. Only hitboxes are crap. Why would you like to change the sounds? Maybe you don't like the mod. If not, go play NO MOD.
