Bjr 5

[Bjusterbaarlik]

BJR 5 is most likely coming for CoD:WaW. I am currently in the progress of porting over almost every script feature from CoD4 to CoD5. One improvement over the CoD4 version is (for some people, it never bothered me), that you will now be automatically powerleveled to rank 65 and everything will be unlocked when you first connect to a server running BJR5.
Coming features include, but are not limited to:

Mod Logo
Welcome messages
Removal of damage feedback
No dogtags on scoreboard
Weapon drop on hand and/or arm hit
Fall over when hit in legs and/or feet
Viewshifts when hit
Ability to disable obituaries
Customizable killstreaks for all hardpoints
Spawn protection
Inablity to sprint and/or jump after taking a considerable amount of fall damage
Customizable weapon zoom

However, it will be a while yet until you see it on one of our servers, since I still have to alter all the weapon statistics which will take a lot of time.
If you have any ideas for BJR 5, post them here.

3. Gameplay Notes
=================

- Ranks & Challenges:
If a player joins a server running BJR, that player will automatically be promoted to level 65 and will have all his weapon attachments unlocked. Please, do not leave the server while you are being promoted as that might result in only getting half of the ranks. Also, all achievements will be unlocked and are able to be achieved.

Once the 'powerleveling' is complete, you can set up your custom classes in the main menu.

Prestige mode is gone for now. Instead of that, there are 35 new ranks for everyone to achieve. Be aware that to climb these ranks, you will need considerably more experience as you would in the stock game. There are no extra unlocks or achievements after level 65, so leveling up is merely for the show.

- Heavy Machine Guns:
The DP28, MG42 and the Browning M1919 can no longer be fired from the hip. You will need to use your iron sights or set them up in order to fire these weapons. Their accuracy is best when deployed. In addition, these 3 HMG's are only available with bipods and no longer without.

- Damage Handling:
Locational damage is back. In the stock game it did not matter where you were hit, but in BJR it definitely does. A bullet does considerably more damage in the head than it does in the right hand. However, a lot of limbs have added effects when they are damaged.

When a player is hit in his hands (bjr_droponhandhit) and/or your arms (bjr_droponarmhit), he will drop his weapon he is currently holding. When hit in the feet (bjr_fallonfoothit) and/or the lower legs (bjr_fallonlowerleghit), the player will fall over and will no longer be able to sprint. There is also a chance that the player might drop his weapon when falling over. Additionally, when a player is hit by an explosion, the same effect applies.

- Fall Damage:
Fall damage has been altered. You will not be able to drop down from huge heights anymore. When taking fall damage, a player might also lose his ability to sprint and/or jump. This depends on the amount of damage taken and the distance he fell down. The player will not be able to get this ability back for the remainder of his life.

- Bouncing Betty:
The bouncing betty's can now be set to kill friendlies as well (bjr_betty_ff). When this is in effect, the betty will detonate for anyone except the player who planted it.
