Inquirig minds want to know...

.. what is up with all the extremely easymode servers lately? 3rd person, crosshairs, nametags and map position(!)? Really?

Here's a couple of things to think about:

1.) Just because you look around corners in 3rd person, doesn't mean someone else is not doing it also.

2.) Just because you can fire any weapon from the hip with crosshairs doesn't mean someone else is not doing it also.

3.) Nametags don't only give away your position to anyone who has a scrollwheel and looks around regularly, if you press space and look around you can find vehicles, tents, etc.

4.) What exactly is the purpose of map position/magic gps enabled? Do you also want to be handheld on your way in the woods?

Seriously, a few easy places for beginners are alright but 70% of the populated servers seem to be running these settings lately.

Honestly it's host preference. There's plenty of other servers to play on that don't have these settings. With more and more servers going up by the day, the options will only get better.

I agree with everything except #2. But that could be fixed. Disable crosshairs for all weapons that have sights when you have them in hand. Stuff like flares, grenades, etc need cross hairs.

Our server has it on strictly for the name of the player I am recording combat logging. If I could have name plates enabled when aimed at but crosshairs and fingers turned off I would gladly remove it.
