The server has gone MOD! We have decided to install the eXtreme 4 mod on the server. This will bring more realism and interest back to the game we all love playing!! Below is a list of the features and changes that will be in play. There are probably more that we haven't listed and we will post them as we figure this all out...lol.

Health Regeneration
We have opted to use the medical packs system that is a part of the mod instead of auto regeneration. This in our opinion gives the game a more realistic feel of being in battle and having to think twice about jumping off a roof cuz we wont get hurt...lol. Every player will start with 4 from the get go and you drop one every time you die. There is a limit of 5 total at one time, but more can be picked up as you use them. To apply a pack, go prone or crouch and stand idle, then push and hold the use key. You will see the health meter raise.

Search Dead Bodies
Another feature that has been added by the mod is the ability to search fallen bodies. There are some advantages to this. One being that you could get a pistol and be carrying 3 weapons instead of 2. There are many different things you will find but if over used, becareful. The reward maybe something you wont want...lol. To search the bodies, go prone or crouch by the body. Then push and hold the melee key and you will start to search the body. HAPPY HUNTING!

Scope Zoom
One of my personal favorites is the ability to zoom in and out on the sniper rifle scopes. This can be very effective tool when the enemy is hiding in a tight corner and you can only get a small glimpse of them from a distance. Also very nice on the bigger maps. To zoom in and out on the scope you use the melee and use key.

Disarm Claymores
The ability to disarm claymores has also been included. You can disarm your owm, your teams or the ememies claymores. But each has a level of success rate that varies. So, while this may come in handy from time to time, be very careful. you may get a surprise your not looking for...lol. To disarm the claymore, get close to it and then push and hold the use key. GOOD LUCK!!

Anti-Camping Enforcement
We are going to use the anti camping enforcement for now to see how it works out. what we have seen in the tests, we like. It allows you to be in one set area for 30 secs beofre it notifies you that you need to move. At 45 secs, you start being "punished" for camping. The "punishment" lasts for 20 secs. This does not apply to snipers that have the sniper rifle equipped. But it has to be your sniper rifle i believe. Pretty useful on bigger maps with few players as it forces people to move around.

New Maps
A modded server has to mean modded maps!! We are in the process of testing various modded maps for rotation purposes. At current, we are looking at about 30 or so to include in our rotation. Some of which are by the creators of the mod themselves. We are hoping to get some screen shots up of some of the better ones that we are testing and will do that when we can. For now, we are using stock maps, but a change is a comin'!! I will be happy to see this as I think the stock maps are great, just a little to routine now!! Should be really interesting game play when we "officially" start them into rotation.

This is what i can think of for now. As we get to testing maps and feature in the configs, we will add more. For now, happy gaming!!
