not to bring up an old topic, but one thing i think would help is if Medics got 1 (maybe even .5) point for kills, rather than the two they normally get. i think this would really help balance the points.

I only read the original post, but this is, by far, the point that makes the biggest difference.Talon wrote:
Very linear map/360 degree apporachable map
As a future Astronomy and/or Physics student at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a rather avid amateur astronomer, I like that I can answer your question, or at least give you some input.
First, a fusion reaction is different then a fission reaction (fission reactions are the basis of a standard nuclear power plant reactor) in that a fusion reaction smashes together two atoms of a certain substance (for instance, in the cores of stars, two hydrogen atoms, which are just one proton and one electron, smash together) to form a different substance (in a star, the two hydrogen atoms become one helium atom, with two protons and two electrons).
Now, in a star, immense gravity holds the hydrogen atoms in the core of the star and ensures that they don't escape, but instead smash into each other, continuing the process of fusion. For this reason, a fusion reactor could never really explode with any more force than a nuclear weapon, and definitely not with the force of a supernova, because there simply isn't enough matter that could fuel the explosion, unless it was actually a very massive star.
ok, now that I've just made myself seem like a huge asshole by trying to sound as smart as I can...
also, I probably could have explained myself much more comprehensibly, but I'm extremely tired.
Feel free to ask me some more specific things if you'd like.

This is actually the principle behind nuclear weapons and nuclear fission reactors. The Uranium, Plutonium, or other chemical at the core of a fission reaction contains atoms with many protons, neutrons, and electrons; to the point that the atom becomes very unstable. That unstable atom is then bombarded with a neutron from another chemical, causing a chain reaction in which the atoms of the original fissionable material are continuously split, as each atom resulting from the split is also highly unstable. This process continues until the atoms have reached a much more stable state (one with many fewer protons, neutrons, and electrons per atom) and do not continue to split.Roomba wrote:
I have heard of scenarios that start nuclear chain reactions that won't stop until the matter is used up. I think they are hyothetical but scary.

yeah, that's also trueDeadmonkiefart wrote:
There is not yet such thing as a fusion reactor. All modern day nuclear reactors use fission. This is because a fusion feactor heats to 40,000,000 degrees Celsius, and there is no material on earth that can stand that much heat. Fusion, however would be more efficient, and that is why people are always trying to discover a way to use "cold fusion", which, while far from cold, would produce less heat than regular fusion.
the arty in that mod is incredible!!! i just got done owning with it. i had second highest combat score in a full server. i believe i had a total of 24 kills, just from using the arty.SargeV1.4 wrote:

my best C4 kill was actually a teamkill:
this idiot was abusing EVERYONE on the server. constant bullshit, insults, racism, etc. He was on my team, I was in a jet, and he wanted it. He was camping my airfield with an AA vehicle, shooting at me as I went by. He didn't achieve anything, but I did want to piss him off, badly.
So, I crash, pretend it was an accident (with many insults from said wanker). I hold off from respawning, and wait untill the last moment before the jet respawns. Just as he's taking off I place a pack of C4 on the back of his jet.
From then on I spent the entire round manipulating him, telling him what to do. It was pure genius: the guy did everything I said. Yeah, I told him that if he bailed or came too close I'd blow him up, but still he could have bailed and save himself before I could pull the trigger in time. After a few minutes he made a mistake, I blew him up, and he completely flipped out. It was fun while it lasted

also, a kdr of 3 is nothing on IO servers:
i've had this problem too. also, sometimes, i'll join a server, or already be in one and a new match starts, and it shows me as being in a squad that doesnt even exist, but i'm not actually in the squad. and when i try to click on "leave squad," nothing happens and i am still stuck in the squad.elte wrote:
has anyone had a problem with making squads? Ive had that happen numerous times. no one could create a squad and the team lost because we didn't work together. or even joining squads. might be the same problem/coding. but sometimes i click to join a squad and it wont work. (i know you have to be alive, obviously)
i found this the other day just from searching for a good server. it is an incredible server! all you complaining about it being 64 players... the thing never gets above 30ish people (or at least when i've played) so it's perfect. lasts a long time so i can get my G3 on!
i believe what bigmack is trying to say is that he is good enough (and i can vouch for his skill on this one) that he will kill anyone shooting at him before he needs to start bunnyhopping to avoid an enemy's gunfire.nighthawk843 wrote:
Erm, watched both his videos, so yes ive seen him and no hes not that good. If you think that just cos u bunnyhop your not good enough to shoot on site you are STUPID. Firstly, you take down one target, often there is more than ONE person shooting at you, SO you bunnyhop left or right for the second target, it means your MOVING so your HARDER TO HIT. I think thats fairly intelligent, rather than SITTING STILL like a duck and getting owned by the second person. If you were against me Mack you would be dead, you would miss me first shot, stand still and get shot in the head when I go prone. Im proud of my 3/1 K/D on the sniper kit on infantry only maps so dont try to even treat me like a noob. Ive played for longer than you and talked to good snipers who know how to play the kit to its strengths. Bunnyhopping is what all intelligent people do, whether with the sniper kit, clan matches or just generally with any kit, it makes you harder to hit (hitboxes which we should all know about) and therefore easier to kill more with less loss of health. Your video is poor because you obviously arent willing to go into populated servers to play where there are multiple targets in a single situation. Choosing an unpopulated server where you are unlikely to get more than one or two targets in a row is just stupid for a sniper video where the rate at which you rack up kills is fairly slow anyway compared to that of medic or support. Those kits are more able to cope with closer combat or get into heavy fire situations, snipers stand a slight distance behind and cover, then rush on flags. Im thinking of making me own video now to show you how its done.
