Figured I might as well advertise a server here. This is !Elite Saw & Law, and the name sums it up pretty well. The balance between a long range weapon and a melee one is great, and the weapon pairing allows for some fun team tactics such as a LAW user boosting a saw user to gain advantage and slice through an escaping EFC. The lengthy reload, delay, and forced crouch stance ensures that the LAW isn't overpowered against the saw.

Personally, I think this is just about the most humiliating server around loaded with embarrassing kills. Either you'll face a LAW with no where to hide or saw quickly enough before the shot goes off, or you'll be stuck reloading or flying with a LAW unable to do anything about the chainsaws waiting below. It's great fun as a sawer to switch out to fists and disarm your LAW opponent, crippling him and forcing him to endure another nine second reload. You'll always be helpless in some manner. LAWs end up mainly use for support while the chainsaw is the primary attacking choice, though it doesn't hurt to pack one of each when available.

Tried out the server a couple of days ago. People just end up picking up a saw and LAW; thus destroying the percarious balance on which this server lies. So a widdle mod to make the LAW favorable as a main weapon and away goes the dualers

While players can have both, they can't switch out quickly enough to be effective against a good, fast approaching enemy. Of course, I'd love to be able to make it so players could only choose one weapon and not be able to pick up another, but unfortunately, I believe that's impossible. As far as making the LAW better... no way. That would kill any incentive to choose and use the saw. Right now the saw leads in kills with a 2:1 ratio over the LAW. The saw only stands a chance because of the delay and grounded usage, and to reduce that would just lead to everyone using LAWs.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it, I could adjust the time a weapon remains on the ground. Hmm...

I like the server.  I always start with the LAW, and take out a Saw...grab one of each.  You can also play decoy and confuse an enemy to think you just have a SAW, and then boom

The !Elite servers are pretty good. I like this server alot because you can snipe someone with the law and use chainsaw for close combat so it makes it harder and more fun to capture the flag.

The Elite servers always come up with interesting combinations of weapons, balances, maps and other cool stuff
