Gun point multipliers

**Oni-scout** · 04-30-08, 12:06 PM

Do we use them in the server's ranking?

I've seen it all around in the past where certain guns will have certain multipliers applied to kills with them...

Such as... an ak's and m4's being worth 80% of the point values... and deagles being worth 120%
So the multipliers would be .8 and 1.2.

I'm just wondering because I think if we don't have them it would be nice to have them just to vary the gun usage more on the server. Giving higher multipliers to guns used less or those that are harder to use.

We could also make the awp like a .1 multiplier so the only benefit you would get from using it is helping the team that is losing horribly because it wouldn't help your rank by much at all.

Any thoughts?

I like the idea that certain weapons can earn you a better percentage of points than others. I believe the shotty is a weapon that is not used a lot

Actually I kinda like this idea. Sounds interesting. Definately would vary the use of weapons used.

...Rrriiigghhhttt...Maybe not in most games, but it is not so rare on TTP (at least the M3, the auto is not used probably because it is lame). A rarity is the UMP, Mac10, and maybe TMP.

I'm not sure it would help any with the weapons used though as many people shouldn't care about stats, and should care more about helping their team any way possible. Although I have seen this done many times in the past as well, it rarely effected what gun people used because usually those people are only good with a handful of weapons and nothing more. I wouldn't mind seeing DWP coming back into play to see more weapons being put into play again as that was great, however I know the system is still flawed and why we have it turned off.

Side note: I'm actually surprised that they haven't fixed it yet due to the overwhelming number of people/servers I know that don't use it or just give away $16k each round with DWP on and thus really defeating the purpose of having it on to begin with. Maybe they are busy working on CS2/HL2Ep3/Portal 2 maybe?

I like to shoot different guns just because it's funny when you kill someone with a mac 10 or an auto shotty. I get small kicks out of seeing those logos up on the screen.

It's also boring shooting the same gun over and over.

this is a bad idea because it encourages people to use the mac10, tmp, etc so they get more points, but as a result they get less kills (more points) and help there team out less

Well I'm not saying to set the m4 & ak at .05 and mac10 at 3.0

But I do see your point, I just thought it would be interesting to see more diversity.
