    April CM time machine event discussion

    Basically what you thought of it.

    Highlights

    Green buckshot
    Shotgun can two shot ANYTHING even queen
    Sentry can basically do the same
    All other guns were worthy of scrap metal
    Mag harness didn’t seem to exist in this branch yet
    Pain crit was aids, waiting to die or get killed/grabbed by young runner 420 sucks
    Mutators sucked
    Old rav vs vet rav, vet rav stupid slow but can actually delimb. Peak rav wasn’t till later
    Boomers want sulaco
    God dam shotgun
    41 is useless
    Sidearms ultra usless
    Fire is a meme espically on LV with the whole river
    39 is the perfect alpha weapon, won’t hit shit expect friends
    Marines and aliens go zoom zoom
    Sent gang snatching your fobbits
    Zoomer gang sending you to the abyss
    Faster weeds was innocent

    Smooth gameplay
    being good at the game actually mattered, good rav players stacked kills and delimbs with every charge and so did spitters/sentinels etc.
    Sentinel/Spitter/Prae neuro was a direct counter to shotgun users and on god, it was really strong.
    Acid spit was less aids
    The flattened skill curve we have now that makes everyone equally shit because there's 200 players isn't fun (god bless MOBA, please come soon)
    Virtually no lag
    Darkness was actually fucking dark
    Lurkers are forced to use their brains
    L41 with QFA
    Powertripping preds with old HPC/Wrist scimitars
    Maps prior to being absolutely satanized by the shitty chokepoint rework (BR, LV)
    Shotgun deals damage
    Neuro means death
    M41 without QFA - deals ok-ish damage but the rate of fire just ain't it
    Lurkers are forced to use their brain
    Every gun that isn't a shotgun/modded M41 is useless
    Extended bunks exist
    Fort Biceps
    Fort Showers
    Buck Montes family made a return and killed shit
    Racism rule wasn't enforced in 2019

    The SADAR spec rocketed the nexus and vented the entirety of it
    Someone removed a single tile in briefing behind a wall and vented the entire room, everyone died

    the fact that it was a real time game instead of a turn based game was pretty nice
    marines actually dying was nice too
    the FF seemed worse than ever, IDK if people were trolling since it was april fools or what
    l41 was nice
    windhealer ruined an entire round with lrp bullshit so nothing changed on that front
    overall it was fun
    i missed all the little quality of life things like shift+e, bandanas (felt naked without it), green shotgun shells confusing me, all those little things
    i think the gameplay was definently better than current CM but the QOL was way worse.

    really enjoyed some parts of it, maybe we should just revert to this day and add the qol stuff and everyone will be happy

    This has changed my thoughts on current version of CM.

    Glad:
    QoL (Req, vendors, etc)
    Paincrit is less of a thing
    Less toxic neuro
    Less toxic huggers
    More things can fit in suit slot
    Survivors don't spawn wounded (except for the North Lake spawn that STILL hasn't been removed despite promises)
    Better sprites (m39, helmets, armor)
    Better sounds (ambience, uhhhhh)


    Sad:
    Worse performance
    MD sound was given to intel scanner
    Oxygen coma is a thing
    HPR just feels like M41+ instead of epic bipod weapon
    Carrier feels so meh and boring
    Dropships have been effectively untouched in any significant manner for longer than I realize
    Its obvious how much of a joke preds have become
    Worse sprites (flamethrower looks like someone dipped it in chocolate)
    Worse sounds (janky AF sound dampening, HPR sounds like I'm rubbing an empty can on a wash board)
    L41 QFA is gooooooone *sobs*, I DONT WANNA DISCOUNT SNIPER RIFLE, I WANNA CARBINE TO ZOOM AROUND WITH

    My experience, broken down by spaghetti western:

    The good:
    I two-shot PB killed the Queen, something that would never happen in modern.
    I got a bunch of flamethrower kills, much easier than modern.
    Some of the sounds, like the doors, and the old school motion detector pings.
    Nest escape!
    There. Was. No. Lag.

    The bad:
    The Smartgun. Oh my god, how did the weapon stay in the game after this build?
    Instant one-shot neurostun. Pure. Cancer.
    Infinite duration paincrit. Not often do I pray for a xeno to come along and end me already.
    Predators. On one round, every last one of them SD’d for practically no reason.
    Req. Holy f’ing req.

    The ugly:
    Some of those old sprites.
    The weird glitch at the beginning of the round where everyone momentarily appears to be uncustomized.
    Edges of the screen weren’t rendering properly.
    Can’t wear my sunglasses on mah face! I can’t hide mah hideous face!
    Dr. Hawkington Beauregarde Blokkumsworth‘s operating room. It was pixelated, and I will have nightmares for months.

    Final verdict: Fun. But I’m glad it’s over.
