Iam from old skool and i really dont like quad whoring etc. If i want to play with powerups, i can play cpma or quake live. Thats all folks

since we play excessive with full ammo and weapons at start there is no point to use powerups.

u can simply disable powerups by server side command

and please don't blame server owners that they look at the future

U are so wrong fala. Look at these xp_freezestyles modes. Xp_freezestyle 3 and 1 ppl never gonna play this because of losing health. This style was instantly switched off from Beer freeze in first minutes
Xp_freezestyle 2 ppl dont want to play this because they cant restore health. As a result u forced server owners to use xp_freezestyle 0 since rest modes are unplayable. Aint it? Greit Plaaan!
And anyway whats yr arguments that ppl should use yr "powerups cfg" than playing Urt, Unreal, Warsow etc?

Hey,
I voted against powerups. I do not like them and through the few wars I played with powerups, I can't say it really works. For the first time, I've seen people camping arround corners with BFG..I can't say it is good or bad to see people playing with BFG instead of Rail (even if according to me, E+ is the Rail mod by excellence), but I just dislike this behaviour. Also, now it is very difficult to frag with shotgun and rockets but it is easier to kill with BFG and Grenades and Machinegun..I think here we're loosing the E+ spirit I like.
But that's my point of view, and maybe some of you won't fallow me, I have nothing ot say against them, we are a community and what the most people like is the most important. Then, if powerups are going to be used by all the servers, I think I won't play E+ anymore, that's all.
Also, I think the most strange thing is that some people say it is possible to kill someone with BS with only 2 rail shots. In the conf, it is possible, yes. But in fact, shooting one guy which has the same level as you twice with Rail is clearly very hard. And even if you shoot him with rail, you can't kill him with shotgun nor BFG. So I think, even if adding the BS is not a bad idea, it is not well balanced. I have think about BS a lot, and maybe we should modify it : for exemple lets make the BS spawn in random places arround the map (it might not be possible to do that in config, but I have no idea how to do that ), then we can make it as the personnal teleporter : one guy grabbs the BS then he uses it when he wants, and if he dies the one who kills him can grabbs it from his corpse, and with only something like 5 seconds of BS. Like that, people can grabb it and then they can all attack the opponent who is camping a room for example.
Well, here there are many way to think of powerups, but I don't think Quad is important as long as E+ is Insta.

Then if powerups are used, I would personnaly perfer for example : Rail hits through armor and BS, like that powerups only avoid spamming and then people will use more Rail than Grenade/BFG/Rocket combo which will make E+ more Insta in my opinion.

But, fala, I don't feel like I am forced to move, I just feel disappointed when someone easily kills me with BFG while I can't kill him with one rail shot. Also I don't like how you talk about people who, according to you, don't know how it was etc... while YOU GUY YOU KNOW IT AND YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CONF AND AND AND .... AND WE HAVE TO FOLLOW YOU OR LEAVE THE PLACE. Of course it's caricatural, of course you don't care about my opinion, but I kinda feel annoyed by all these guys "leading the community" only because they are spending time on it. I know I'm not well placed to talk about that as long as I don't spend time in the community, but I feel like somehow somepeople just don't care about opinions.
