Hi Guys,
NEWS
Not that much to report this month because most news you hear about playing on the servers and visiting MoH files etc
What I have heard about though, and it may be a good thing, is that MoH is being released as "Open Source" - what that means is that modders are going to take it back to the beginning and alter it. For us that could mean a whole bunch of say, new weapons, skins and perhaps even an "Iron-Sight" and maybe even "Prone" implemented into the game - wouldn't that be good?
Updates
You know about the recent problems with the server and the crashes. Sadly, it still needs to be fixed. We know it is a sound problem with the max sounds being exceeded. It could be anything, so it is trial and error for the time being.
New Server Game Types
Just to remind everyone of the game types we run on our server.
FFA - Free for all
TDM - Team Death Match
OBJ - Objective
LIB - Liberation
TOW - Tug Of War
FT - Freeze Tag
FTOBJ - Freeze Tag Objective
FTTOW - Freeze Tag Tug Of War
AS - Assassination
CD - Count Down
DEM - Demolition
CTF - Capture The Flag
That's 12 all in all. TOW & FT being the favourites along with LIB and OBJ. The two new one's are proving quite popular as well (CD & AS).
We'll also be trying out 3 more quite soon as well. Survival, which is a Zombie based gameplay (I think) One player is invisible to the others and must kill them all armed only with a silenced pistol,
and Revenge which is similar to TAG and the winner is the last player standing. I'll explain more about this at a later date. Both need to be tried first.
The last new Gametype will be everyone's favourite and that is BaseBuilder. We've all played it at some point and we all love it very much. Expect it on the server very soon.
Popular Maps
I've been checking the server logs recently, looking for the fault with the sounds, and noticed that we play more on certain maps than we do others. So, these are our server's most played top 6 maps.
Druckkammern
Flughafen
Monte Battaglia
Berlin
Monte Cassino
Verschneit
All in TOW mode except the last one which is played more in LIB. No surprise there then. Tug of War battles go to the very last round and are always very intense - and that's why they get played the most
The Top 6 most played Custom maps are...
Bombed Village
Weihnachtsmarkt
Tomb
Rockbound
Snowy Village S.E.
Vire
It's nice to see Vire in there. That's the Objective map with the very long streets. Very popular map and fun too,
Special Mention
A special mention this month has to go to Richard for his outstanding performance in working as a Team player in those massive TOW battles we've had of late. It's hard for players to know where every switch is, and to even get to them. But time and time again he does. So, well done there.
Phyllis got the best Kill to Death ratio of all last month. She played at her best last month working as she did on different teams and getting the results. A remarkable achievement. Well done also.
On our FFA Rifles Only battle, held also last month, Peter took the award for most games won. It was a close battle at first, with two players looking like they could win it. But he pulled out that little bit extra when it mattered and won the last 5 maps very easily. Well done for winning that. I'll get the proper results up so you can all see how you did.
And finally - and this will be for fun only - the Goldeneye maps. Yes! Old though they may be and a little rough around the edges, they were made years and years ago by some unknown mapper. For MoH they look good enough. The original author didn't add any sounds to these. So, I've fixed that problem by adding the original music and also added one or two mini-mods to spice it up a bit - to make it more Bond. It wont be brill, but it'll be fun. We've got a rocket that you control, new smoke grenades that still kill and a gas mask, which looks scary when playing the game. There's loads more included, like knifes and new guns, so it'll be good - more like No One Lives Forever than MoH. It'll make a change.
That's it for now.
Post any comments or questions you may have and I'll answer them as soon as possible,
