I was pretty dissapointed with PVK2. Instead of fixing the wrong with PVK1 and adding some new features, it was basically just a graphics update (albeit, the graphics are simply amazing, especially for a 3rd party mod). I know it's just a beta, but still. I was hoping the game would take a step toward being slighly more realistic (i.e. without everyone running around at 100mph jumping and ducking like idiots in true classic deathmatch style). The keg, while fun if you're a pirate, is ungodly overpowered. I don't know how many times I've died, or been taken down to 1/4hp the instant I spawn b/c people think its m@d 1337 or something to toss them into a spawn. The main problem I guess is that there's only 1 class, so EVERY pirate has a keg.
Alright, so you're asking for realism and asking that a barrel filled with black ****ing powder not kill you when it explodes? Not only that, but the only reason there's only one class is because it's a beta? For Christ's sake, man! Vikings have MAGES!
A few relatively simple changes could make it great. Like reducing movement speed so that it is no long on par with unreal tournament and altering the melee system so it doesn't degrade to Oblivion style: parry, attack, parry attack, etc. I don't know how many times I've seen someone just sit there crouching in a corner blocking and not moving at all until you make the first strike
I admit, they could have made the melee system a lot better. It's pretty stupid as of yet. But just as a protip, if they're actually standing (WOW) then slash them in the ankles. It evades any block (especially the shield).
Turned out it was the admin who then banned me for "being cheap". Ok, I'm done venting...
Sounds like that one time in Rainbow Six where the host whored the riot shield, which protects against all bullets unless you shoot them point blank with a shotgun in the glass (machineguns help too but not as much), but they move really ****ing slow. The idea is that they are very, very prone to an easily throwable frag or incendiary. Of course, the host, being a little *****, turned both of these off. He owned everyone the first round. I looked at the equipment list, and it just so happened he had forgotten to turn off C4 packs! I grabbed them greedily, and the next round, I waited at the same door he came at last time, with the small little yellow box sitting right there on the ground. Sure enough, the idiot walks right in with the shield raised, crouching so that only his forearm holding his Glock is exposed. Giggling like a schoolgirl, I jammed the detonator and he flapped up like a fish, then crumbled in a heap. Next round, I was banned. For killing him.
EDIT: I guess getting all heavy armor and then walking right up in his face and sticking my shotgun in his mouth would've worked too, since, you know, 9mm doesn't do much against Class IV Kevlar. But the C4 is cool too.

Works for me!
