I must jump in and issue a severe warning about these guns.

I know Druid is very diligent about achieving a fair balance among many things so I think this may not be a good idea.

Here is what I found out about the MP5.

-In v1.9, the MP5 multiplies its damage by 6.xx times while using the Berserk combo, this was lowered considerably in the latest version however
-The primary bullet fire of the MP5 deals more damage per second than any other default gun with the exception of superweapons (flak and RL do more damage but much slower rate of fire
-The grenades/rockets in the secondary fire are very potent as well. The rockets aren't so much of a problem but when charging up the mutli-grenade shot it will do extreme amounts of damage.

While I realize this is entirely up to Druid, I removed the MP5 from a server due to its extreme unbalance with regard to the standard UT2004 weapons. Had we been using FHI or some other weapon mod with higher damage rates it would have worked much better. But when medics start making medic guns of the MP5, then tack a berserk combo on top of it, they will vastly outscore the other classes no sweat.

Based on v0rTeX's information, official answer is "we are disinclined to acquiesce to your request."

I've seen the MP5 in action before.

I've got a better sporting idea for the monsters. Lets make them so that they never move from where they spawn, and they never fight back.... That sounds fair, right?

The fundamental problem is this: The first word we learn as children is NO. From that point forward society teaches women that saying no isn't polite, and society teaches men to respect those who wont take no for an answer.

I thought there would be a way to turn it down or 2 a notch not to be so powerful.IT WAS A SUGGESTION.

Do you still use that bernouli shot gun thingy, vortex? I think it would be cool if LW got some exclusive weapons (that LA and LM couldn't get period). No-drop or disentegrate on drop (better). LM gets pets and LA has special artifacts. Why not special weps for LW? Maybe an artifact that converts an existing wep to the special wep...

Yeah we use the Benelli as a LW level 3 exclusive weapon.
(I recompiled the Benelli to be a 'no-throw' weapon)

Also, because there was an exploit with the MWM and Medic Maker recently, we had removed Redeemers. Now that they are fixed we put them back in but only a LW level 3 player can get it. Although the Redeemers can still be tossed, at least they are tough to get without being WM.

Hmmmmm, I don't know about the SSR. I've been on some servers that used it and the scores were way inflated for the abilities.
