i hope you are aware of the fact...

that in standard normal ctf servers 80% of weapons used are only barrets and m79. the only normal servers that arent like that are 2 (or maybe even 1) servers of zabijaca in which there is a script that allows only 2 m79 and barrets in each team. something must be doen about it in next version

[Bonecrusher]

I believe  certain steps were taken in order to increase other weapons usage(wep config) and on a side note there are 3 servers.

Comparing other weapons to this 2, they are just weak. Even spas at close range requires too much time to kill, so you are owned by oneshoter.

If you learn to dodge shots, you are perfectly fine. The splash damage from an M79 will not harm you a lot and you will have enough opportunity to play baseball with the tuber's health bar, essentially using the health bar to chop his head off. Sure, one-shooting has its moments, but automatic weapons have the advantage of being able to spray. In a plain 1v1 shooting, it's the one-shot weapon that will win. That is, when you don't know how to play versus these weapons. All that is required from you is to adapt to the situation!

I think many players in public servers use one-shot weapons because they have the possibility to actually get any kills at all with them. It doesn't at all mean that it's a better weapon and that anything needs to be done IMHO. Usually when I play in public servers where players use barrett and m79 alot it's pretty easy to get at least 2 k/d and lots of caps/assists, which isn't always the case when I'm playing against more experienced players who use automatic or semi-automatic weapons.

This this this, it's not cause the weapons are op (except for 1v1) but because they are fun to play and easy to get kills with. Also the horrible barrett circle jerk on publics where people seem to think every other weapon is a noob weapon.

Sadly there's nothing to stop this. I'd love to remove the barrett from publics altogether or at least limit it to one per team regardless of the amount of players. Barrett (and the occasional whiner holding it) always kill the mood on a DM server.

@Dusty: I wrote a script for exactly doing that. I am working on the code to make it even better and drop a re-release.

[Dusty]

Some of Bonecrusher's servers are already using such script but of course it's up to the admin to decide the limit and for me, Zabijaka's limit is still too high.

[DarkCrusade]

The script he uses was written by me I am working on an improved version that runs faster and has more features.

Edit: Nevermind, it's done: link

entirely a l2p issue i'm afraid

For anyone who wants to use anything else than one shot killers there is realistic mode. I'm one of them by the way.
