    Hmm I just saw today that someone (Admins or Moderators) disabled Radar Scan as equipment ... I want to ask that admin of "Mesa Nostalgic" server why do u disable it ... How we can hunt camper players like a lot of them with gauss ? We need Radar Scan back again in that server I`d like to play with it , I`ve played this game for years but in next weeks everything will be disable for players like us , what about gauss why u don`t disable it ?? Shooting froom long distances , camping in invisible mode etc... WE NEED RADAR BACK .

    Welcome back. Camping, cloaking, gaussing, sniping - it was all what newbies loved about Mesa for years. This is also why I never played Mesa longer than 4 hours in my life. I couldn't stand that "unfair" stuff. But people loved it. This was idea for MESA Nostalgia server. To make it playable for everybody. It worked for last 2 months. 200 players - entering server every week. 10-16 players EVERY DAY - AT THE SAME TIME on one server. Like never before from sunday to thirsday. Before more than 3 players were only on Friday and Saturday as you remember. Last 8 weeks it's different. Radar is good against Campers. But it's not being used against campers!!! as we saw during last weeks it was used only by PRO aimers who can win without radar easily anyway. Radar was overused against newbie cloakers who were not camping on the mountain - but who were in the move but couldn't even hide for 30 seconds.... anyway all server changes and problems were discussed - it's not possible to make everybody happy with settings. It's very complexed problem. MESA Nostalgia is - as planned - server for newbies so far. Settings are being changed all the time though. Maybe rader will be back some day on this server. Give it some time and enjoy the game. You're PRO AIMER. If I was as good as you I wouldn't see any problem with gauss campers. They have only 6 bullets instead of 15 and maybe it will be reduced to 3 soon. It's not possible to buy any extra bullets for gauss. Gauss is not a huge problem on this server though. So if it was only about gauss campers - disabled radar wouldn't be a problem at all. Unfortunatelly for few weeks radar was being used permanently by those who are so good, they don't even need it. Just for score of PRO aimers, even though they don't need scan the area to kill. They kill in 3 seconds even afer being surprised by some hidden, camping player. That pro player who agreed with you today about radar - he was the one who was spamming radar's "scan button" the most like 90% of the time on server. NOT ON GAUSS CAMPERS AT ALL. On everybody, hours and hours every day. Many other players I was asking about radar before - they don't see a problem when it's disabled for a while and they even enjoy the fun more now, since it's more random and more surprising. I'm sure you can understand that as a pro killer who has fast reaction and who doesn't need radar to spot close enemy. Making universal and ballanced settings for all is not easy. Gauss can be removed in the future. If 3 bullets will be still too much to fight against. It's possible to remove this rifle. All depends on observations made by players and their ideas for fixing situations. All depends on how much is it being used by newbies and how much by PROs (yes pro players are using gauss more nowadays - so it's good reason to disable Gauss soon - check for yourself number of bullets - it's already so low that doesn't make sense to camp from distance with it) So give it some time, give it a chance. Enjoy the game... ...and have fun.

    Yeah last friday when I was there with Comrade around midnight - I saw you were trying to connect. I even told Comrade - "It's probably HoneY who is trying to connect right now" - but you were out for so many months - I wasn't 100% sure that night. Untill I saw your message on forum - I was already sure :) I will remove that 8 month od ban from Friday Event for you. I hope all is going to be fine now. IA events are being played by medium and pro players now anyway - so no problem. There are 10 x IA low optimized, very high FPS maps in rotation there so it's very playable like never before. The only problem is that since MESA Nostalgia is on-line - many people choose Mesa on Fridays also - instead of IA Event sometimes - but it's ok :) At least more people are playing. See you and have fun.

    Hm, against campers you don't usually use radar, because they will be out of your detection range, especially on Mesa. Against campers you usually use binoculars + headphones, you scan the mountains and listen to the cloak mode hum. And binoculars are standard spawn equipment. On my server, i have solved gauss-camping by reducing damage with distance. So if you shoot from point blank range, it will still kill by 1 hit, but if you shoot from far mountain, you will survive 1-2 hits. However i have never got any feedback on it, so i have no idea, if it was a good solution. Anyway i somewhat agree with Freebo, radar destroys every suprise and game variability. Playing a game, where you always know where are all enemies, is kinda boring. That's why i often don't use it, even if it's available. Of course old school elitists will disagree, because they only want to measure their aim+movement skills, and everything else is irrelevant. So it's all about point of view and making compromises. You can't make everyone happy, the server will ALWAYS be set up, so that it makes one part happy and other part angry or vice versa. From purely admin point of view: Judging by how the player count looks now and how it looked before, current server settings is better.
