A few questions

So I have a few questions about the server #2. Why can't we use the M1 Garand sniper scope? (I heard it was a glitch, if so will it be fixed?) Also, do you guys plan on re-implementing the xlrgamestats? I really like being able to see my stats and track my progress on the server, so this would be awesome.

And I have a suggestion as well. Can you guys ban Martyrdom? Hear me out. I don't see why this perk is allowed, yet we can't use rifle grenades. I don't know why rifle grenades are banned, but I'm guessing it's because they're annoying/cheap. So by that logic, I think this perk should be banned to. And to boot, I'd say martydom is even worse,  because it's a reward for getting killed which makes no sense at all. They're literally free kills. And with so many players on the server you're almost guaranteed to get a kill with it. Especially on maps like Dome. I tried to get one of my friends to play on your guys server but he left after 10 minutes because he kept getting killed by grenades. I think banning martyrdom is a good step towards reducing this frustration.

AND, before you tell me to use Flak Jacket like the server says if you complain about martyrdom, consider this. Stopping power is almost necessary, so this would restrict my play-style to using only guns that work well without it. For example, I like rifles which are a 3-4 hit kill without stopping power OR a whopping 4-5 hit kill against a juggernaut user, now when you consider 3 of those rifles only have a 10 or 8 round magazine, that's very impractical. Oh not to mention practically everyone either uses juggernaut or stopping power so if you're not using it, you do not have the competitive edge. I think this is a very logical request to ban martyrdom.

I like the post. Let me see what I can do with it.

Martyrdom was voted against here and banned twice (on server #1). I agree that martyr can be a mess, especially on small maps like Dome, but the main problem this time around is that the game is old and there are less players than before. There has been a big drop in population in WaW, but players can always come and create a vote if they want martyrdom removed. If it is, it will probably 10-15 players less (guess estimate). Things actually work a lot better on Server #1 with the higher damage and we revised the Flak Jacket perk that makes it worth it so it's possible to manage kills, but I don't know if we will do higher damage for server #2.

We are working on getting stats back on track, but it has to be done without lag or it may not be possible. It will take a little time.

I thought the scope was fixed when the server was restarted, but we have been looking into the problem since so it should be fixed soon.

I appreciate your post and it's good when players come and voice their opinions and thoughts. You can post a topic with a vote included (scroll down when making a new topic to create a vote) about martyrdom if you want.

I personally would really not like damage to be altered. I don't like hardcore game modes and the single biggest reason I chose your guys server was because damage wasn't altered. It's really hard to imagine that you'd lose players because martyrdom was banned though (and if so, maybe they weren't gonna stay anyways?). Maybe it could even draw more players? Thanks for the reply!

Oh and I hope this link is okay, but I do believe World at War has actually seen an increase in players recently. You can see the player count tracking here: http://steamcharts.com/app/10090

I check those charts from time to time and it looks like this occurs around sales. I think some players are intimidated by multiplayer and go play zombies where they won't have to think much or just not play altogether. You will see lots of players when the $9.99 sale happens and when the sale is over, things die down a bit.

Stats are now back online. I'll upgrade the interface in the future. Stats are a feature of Regulars/VIPs.

M1 scope fixed

I used to be against Martyrdom but not anymore, I kind of start to learn how to avoid martyrdoms even when it's more than one. I accept it's part of the game even though it's annoying. I guess since many people enjoy and it's such easy "get kills" shouldn't be change though I agree from time to time gets annoying but it's easily dealt with.
