THE FIRM - Community Server Group

(UPDATED 13/10/10 - TeeCee, Server-Admin)

A bit more detail about the changes in effect on the server...

As well as 9vs9 versus play, you may wish to observe the following summary of all the modifications on the server. Most of the changes are there for balance reasons as 9vs9 shakes things up a lot (lots of bullets for one thing!).

I believe in integrated changes that require NO chat commands, key binding or client-side changes. Therefore, there are NO !buy , !teams , !blah commands etc!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENERAL NOTES:
- You CANNOT CHANGE TEAM. Sorry, this is done to maintain a busy server - yes, everyone wants to go Infected. Wait your turn, and benefit from playing against humans instead of just dumb bots
- Because the ingame scoreboard cannot display all players, press your "p" key to see an alternate player-list panel. Press "0" to close this popup. This facility is automatically mapped to your "p" key for convenience (sorry if this is an issue)
- You will be kicked from the server if you are AFK (do not move, chat etc) after 3 MINUTES

INFECTED CLASS TWEAKS:
- You can choose what infected you are (class restrictions apply - press "right mouse" as ghost)
- SMOKER tongue has far greater range and recharges faster
- CHARGER speed and recharge vastly increased and health slightly increased
- BOOMER can move and puke at the same time, and recharges quicker
- JOCKEY can jump whilst riding a survivor's head (press "space")
- HUNTER pounce slashes are increased - he is by far the deadliest damager dealer
- SPITTER recharge is slightly increased, but spit spreads a bit slower
- TANK has increased health, but still requires teamwork and tactical play
- WITCH has slightly increased health
- COMMON INFECTED HORDE sizes are slightly larger
- Control the witch as infected (aim your crosshair at her and press "e")

SURVIVOR CLASS TWEAKS:
- Survivors rescue and heal much faster
- Survivors are able to move on the ground when incapped (press "w")
- Upon death, you will be offered the opportunity to take over a bot
- Additional official 'german' weapons are unlocked for all, and appear in the world
- M60's will replace the Grenade Launcher randomly 50% of the time
- You can restock Grenade Launchers / M60's from ammo piles
- Special ammo gives 3 clips instead of just 1

ADDITIONAL:
- This is a very brief summary of the MAIN changes. To see all the amended CVAR variables from the game defaults, type "differences" into your ingame console whilst on the server.

TIP:
As survivor - with bots on your team YOU must take point and lead them. KEEP MOVING FORWARD or you will become engulfed by spawning infected. The bots will not advance until you do...
