P90 Shenanigans

[๖ReS]

The two shotguns definitely need their modifiers reduced, especially the pump. Here's a quick list of the top weapons, their observed damage per minute, maximum possible damage per minute and a comparison.

You can pretty quickly pick-out the shotguns (two highest percentages). The TMP beating out one of the auto-snipers was surprising.

Anyway, should probably drop both shotguns to lower than para.

Attached is the spreadsheet (xlsx) I used to calculate.

Your really into dis shit aint cha.

To be honest I rather more time go into finding new maps than editing the ranking system.

[Mallissin]

You find variety your way and I'll find variety mine.

I'd like to see people using more than just the same three weapons all the time and reward them for trying something new or being unique. New maps are made only so quickly and there are other ways to try something new or breath life into an loved old map.

Making sure the rank system modifiers are fair also makes the game more challenging to the rank whores, who literally only play for the challenge.

[THE HOLY SH**T!]

james is just mad he can't get his rank up as fast with the p90s now .

[Christmas]

I'm mad that people still are so into their rank.

It's an arbitrary number, people.

whoa whoa now lets leave the p90 alone.

james is right, usually its the people with the p90 that builds the cade.

and most of the time when the person with the p90 is reloading the rest of the people are shooting at the zombie earning the kills cause the p90 has the fastest rate of fire and some of us can really aim with that gun, taking alot of health away from the zombie.

just cause the p90 gives you so many points towards skill, doesn't mean everyone is gonna go and use it now, it has a fast rate of fire and a high recoil but not as high as the AK.

people that don't know how to use it mostly spray and pray instead of double tapping it. I vote we leave it alone and let the noobs who try to use it get killed off first and leave more kills for the guys who do know how to use the p90 correctly.
