P90 Shenanigans

[Mallissin]

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.

[Jeimuzu]

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.
