So I like the instagib gametype. Its a nice replacement for the "sr8 only" and allows for some good fun.

The main thing that I'm not sure about is the reload time. When I reload the weapon, the magazine is pulled out and put back, then there is a long pause, and then the chamber is cleared. Is there a reason for this super long pause? It just feels weird and awkward. I can see that maybe you wanted to make people who are reloading much more vulnerable for a longer period of time, but it feels weird. Maybe if there was a way to instead just make the magazine animation take longer instead of forcing a long pause? IDK, that pause just screws with me cause I watch the animation and then assume I'm good to go, but then I cant fire until the chamber is cleared and then I'm all sorts of screwed up.


Also, on an unrelated note, I would much rather have that gun available in regular gameplay than the FR-F1. That .50 Cal gun provides some distinct advantages and disadvantages over the SR8 and PSG-1 whereas that FR-F1 is just a worse version of the SR8.

Here are some pros and cons vs the SR8

.50 Cal pros:
- Stay zoomed in after each shot
- Insta-kill
- perfect laser straight no-scope at any movement speed
- Slightly faster firing rate

.50 Cal Cons:
- longer reload time
- Smoke trail gives away position
- Can only zoom in once

I think if they got rid of the super easy no-scope capability and gave it 3 rounds per magazine instead of 5 then it would be pretty balanced and provide something totally different from the current sniper options.

Kind of strange considering the TOD-50 was hot swapped directly onto the SR8 animations as well as the FR-F1. After that I don't know what was done as far as specs goes.

I got stuck in the air after /kill a few times i come back to the floor and the new sniper gun is awsome you can bounce bullets on the floor and kill also the smoke is cool.
Also double kills with 1 shot!

But urt crashed after few minutes :(

I think I now finally understand why people love "SR8 only", this is really fun.

A few observations I've made.

• Why do we have kevlars?
  
  • Everyone has the same gear, so wouldn't it be more fun, if the game was faster?
  
  
• The reload animation is very unintuitive due to the pause.
  
  • Already mentioned by Kronik, just added it, as I agree.
  
  
• The bouncing off the floor/walls is amazing
  
  • It's simple to understand and possibly so very deep.
  
  
• What level are the bots set to?
  
  • They didn't do anything, even though they should be amazing with an instagib weapon.

Also my game crashed after having killed two people and then turning 180. Sadly, I cannot say more, as there was no console or log.

Iirc we unlocked stamina when instagib is on.

I was wondering about the bots as well. :)
but hey, if they were set to lvl 5 they would probably wreck everything, due to the no recoil and stuff. :)

Interestingly they were running around with the knife most of the time. might be that they try to switch to a secondary/sidearm, as they dont run around want with a sniper rifle, but cant find any.

@Biddle Geez, half of my feedback is just a waste of your time. I'm really sorry. :>

@Iye Yeah lvl 5 is probably too much, but I'm thinking like 3 or 4, right now they look much more like lvl 1.

Could you please add the option to choose any sniper for this gamemode and could you replace the smoke trail with a tracer round effect.
When I was playing on the server my stamina was being drained. IMO for a good instagib there should be no fall damage,movement or zoom penalty and no stamina.

I changed bots levels to 3 (previously 1). Please remember that bots are officially not supported so they may (and will) behave strangely.

Could you maybe add a single bot to each of the test servers? When I hop onto a server to test something I have to open two clients for TS or TDM so that I have something to shoot at and so that the game actually starts. It would be nice if there was just a single bot in each server for testing purposes.
