Forced pick-ups + post 1.12 annoyances

I think one of the best ways to improve your own made deathmatch is to set it to a minimum of 8 players so that even if you suck at making a map, there's still some action.

I f*ckING LOVE SCIENCE forced weapons.

If not forced, many of the death matches turn into explosion fests with auto shotguns to boot.

 

Forced Combat Pistols FTW

I agree, although I currently prefer owned weapons because I'm trying to get the orange tint for the minigun (makes it look evil as f*ck) and the green tint for the RPG.

At least 95% of the deathmatches I've tried joining tonight have all been forced pick-ups. They used to occasionally pop-up, but never anything like this. It's so stupid and annoying.

 

Also, matchmaking has got a lot worse, every match I'm put with a bunch of low-levels unless their my friends. This has literally happened every match. I don't mind getting 1 low level in the team but getting between 2-4 and the other team having a bunch of 40+ players is really screwed.

 

The most annoying thing of all, the freezing has made it's way into deathmatches, I froze twice already today in the middle of a deathmatch. I'd get freezing in free-roam but never in game modes. This getting beyond.

I dont mind forced pickups, a shot to the head does the trick just fine. Having low levels on your team can cost you the deathmatch tho, but that just means you have to work a little harder. As far as freezing yeah i had to stop playin deathmacthes cause id freeze when the host would launch the game.

Forced + pickups is the by definition the best unless you want to unlock weapon tints or are playing on a very versatile map. Every map suits different weapons and many death matches are ruined because they allow the wrong weapons.

What they should have, like that have in the racing lobbies with catch up, and slipstreaming off, would be the option for owned weapons, but a no explosives option. RPG, Grenade Launcher, Sticky Bombs, and Grenades would fall into that category. That way we could all enjoy our guns, but keep the people who want to spam explosives out of the matches.

It looks like the default is now Forced + Pickups in any deathmatch I host. It has to be changed. So, I guess the hosts are not paying attention. They are probably surprised themselves when the deathmatch starts.
