Hey, thanks for compliments in the AAR thread guys, but you should know I only modified the M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine, and the K98k in that test build. It wasn't meant as a full-blow trial, but rather just to see if Bone and I could connect and test it.

I DO have a more finished build ready to try now, and it's ready to be played as soon as Bone uploads it to the CoD2 server (it's on the FTP server now, Bone). The semi-auto and bolt-action rifles are both closer to done in this version.

Some comments and thoughts:

- I can certainly bump up the rate of fire of the semi-auto rifles, but instead of that, what if we controlled which weapons appear on which maps? I know I can do this with custom maps, and I'm PRETTY sure I can do this with stock maps. With this in place, we could have maps that allow bolt-actions only, maps that allow semi-autos only, and maps that allow both. We could combine this with the already existing WRM weapon limiting to get the results we want. What do you guys think?

- I can now control what weapons are available for each team, so if we wanted to, I could allow the Americans to have access to the Lee-Enfield bolt-action rifle. This would balance out the bolt-actions that the other teams already have, and it isn't unrealistic since Americans most probably used Lee-Enfields (when necessary) from time to time during WWII. Thoughts?

- I could probably modify the throw distance of the grenades, but instead of that, what if we restricted the grenade loadouts of the kits so that they complimented each other and really forced teamwork? We could give the assaulters two frags but no smokes; we could give the riflemen one smoke and one frag; we could give the automatic riflemen one smoke and no frags; we could give the snipers two smokes. This would limit overall frag grenades, and, more importantly, it would force players of different kits to rely on their buddies to provide the needed grenades to handle a given situation. Assaulters would need smoke cover from their riflemen buddies; automatic riflemen would need frag help from their assault buddies. Thoughts?

Let's play a few games with the latest weapon mods and see what we think. I won't limit the weapons yet, so let's choose all the various modified weapons and try them out. In other words, let's test it all out!
