voice chat is funny, it makes games more entertaining Only if listening to squeaky-voiced newbies shout profanity and threats at you for having the temerity to be better at the game than they are is your idea of a good time. I'd find it very useful and game-enhancing indeed on a server where high s...

... which is global-only, completely undocumented and does not appear to have an off-switch other than muting your sound. This just gets better and better, doesn't it?

Why aren't we using Voxlap anyway? It's free and open-source.

SMG, since before it had its damage buffed to something actually useful. I haven't tried it out much in the newer versions, but it used to be so easy to rack up kills with the rifle that the game wasn't fun anymore.

Just in the interests of being scrupulously fair to all parties, are you building those towers somewhere they're actually useful for defence? I mean, if there's a major enemy assault going on and we're in danger of being pushed back to the tent, and three or four players are blithely erecting a fanc...

As a few couple of people pointed out over on the old forum, before getting their threads deleted, Jagex are liable to get into trouble with the Advertising Standards Agency over this. Serious, "big fine and mandatory refunds" type trouble, because it seems like the stated minimum specifications wer...

Personally, I'd take a cue from Freedom Fighters -anyone else remember that game?- and have a "melee attack" button that'd do some damage no matter what you had equipped. The spade and the rifle would be the most deadly, the SMG and shotgun would be middling and the player's fists (if you had blocks...

Snow... cannon?

I just put a link to here on the Ace Of Spades page on TV Tropes.

Depends on the helmet and the weapon, and in any case I'm prepared to sacrifice a little realism in the name of game balance.

Mind you, I suppose we could just design new sprites with smaller heads.

Nah, the Blue team are about the same colour as the rosettes normally worn by the Conservative Party. It actually fits quite well.

74 with the SMG? It's not hard to land 2 shots with the SMG in the time it takes the rifle to be ready for another shot. Maybe you're right, actually. Perhaps hitting the helmet should cut damage from the SMG down to 50 or something? I dunno. If we implement the idea then we can fine-tune it once w...

Not really. We, being normal human beings, have fit into the image that Jagex painted about us. They treated us like some kind of infidel group, so we naturally bended to fit the image. It's an unconsciousness reaction. And being normal human beings with this thing called free will, we can also cho...

Something I learned about the Commando class just sparked another idea. How about slightly changing the headshot hitbox so that hitting someone's helmet only takes off 99HP with the rifle and 74HP with the SMG, and to get the full hundred you have to shoot your target in the face?
