And how-come the points where mis-calculated only with the one weapon?

It's not, it's wrong for all weapons when used against vehicles with green health. Ramjets are just the most bullshit example. others which spring to mind: vehicular machineguns (orca, APC etc), shotgun, pistol, auto rifle.

It's supposed to be that points gained are directly proportionate to damage dealt - as is the case vs structures, infantry, and red/yellow-health vehicles. THe only anomaly is against vehicles with green health

Wow, cool.
So explosive projectiles were calculated correctly?

Style in gameplay changed ( In a good way imo ), not just in big 50 player servers, but also cw's and what not. Also don't forget that people were running Pentium 3 1 ghz or AMD birds, 4-5 years ago. Where people now have Dual, Qaud core's. Thus making it easier to play then playing with 7 fps. Which is really horrible. There wasn't really anything else you could do except using a tank and pointwhore. Using infantry with 5-12 fps is just not done. (With the exception of the sak) Because that was used as main whore item on maps like City, Walls.

It's funny to see people come back after 3 years and then see how they play, because you just have to grow in the gameplay. And not stay back how it was back then. Because if you use a sak right now as you would back in the day. Big chance youle get shot in the face with a med or that a Orca will come down on you.

No, they got too many points as well, but to a lesser extent.

The vehicle point fix is nice, but I don't like how it fucked the Railgun and PIC.

It seems a bit odd it took the pointsfix to make people realise PICs+ravs do less damage than tanks...

Vanilla Renegade all the way! Before any changes, skins and other homo stuff came along! That's my favourite.

P.S. Spoony is gay, but english gay.
