Ok - The sr8 as is still gets bitched about.
Some people complain its a noob cannon, while others are still moaning about the lack of jump shots.
My proposal is we allow the sr8 jumpshot back, *BUT* only on the proviso of some other handicap is put in place.
Soo... Sr8 Jumpshots back in exchange for if you get shot while zoomed in, you get automatically unzoomed and your view gets "slapped" off target a bit.
So, this allows sr8 uses to run along and assault with the sr8 (yay for sr8!), but if someone shoots them while zoomed they're more or less toast (yay for Auto user who got the first shot in!).

Seems like a good idea to me. Of course I'm biased since I often get shot while hitting a sniper and it's quite frustrating.
Did you by any chance consider locking cg_bob and all those to the defaults again ?

cg_bob et all are defaulted to 0
simply too lazy to remove them all together.

thats a bitchy deal 
every newb sprayer can hit you while ur strafing/rushing into a place so its pretty pointsless 2 give back the jump shooting.
smells like all the sprayers are gone agree and the snipers getting pwnt.....
if it has 2 be this way i prefer the jumpshooting 2 stay of

I voted to leave the SR8 as it is.
I do miss jump shots, but there’s no way in hell I'd sacrifice the ability fight back while you're under fire.
IMO. making this new/old “feature” would only seem like a nerf of the weapon instead.
Sadly, I think all the auto-users will vote yes, so hello jump shots.

I actually meant the defaults of 0.005 and 0.002 like in normal quake3. Or maybe just change these when scoped to find the balance somewhere in the middle.

Really bad idea imo...so the guy just needs to leg me once with some spam to get my aim all fucked up? Nah leave the sr8 as it is and change whats to be changed instead of trying to look for other stuff to fuck up.
Oh and you want to bring the ubercamp to a higher state? I know for sure that i wont rush in with my sr8 if only a hit is needed to get my aim off. I'll just sit and wait until some one comes in my lof.
SR8 is one of the best thing there is in urt..dont touch it.

I agree with nerfing the sr8 a little, this idea had a good start, but imho in game it will make sr8 really hard to use except while camping with 90% of the body hidden.
It would require more skills to use the sr8, and the PSG couldn't replace it. The game is good with a sniping weapon like the sr8. Maybe it's overused and too pwoerful but this would be too drastic.
Many sr8 kills are done after being hit, yeh it can be annoying but with the handicap sr8 would just become a neglected weapon like PSG currently is.
