"awsome" is probable is too big word for NQ 1.2.5.

Excepted the anti rambo medic and the pnew LUA interface, everything is bug fixes or minor enhancements. But I am glad that there was a cleanup of the code, because last time I had a look at it it was a real mess.. :]

Lol, minor enhancements? :D This release almost includes more fixes and optimizations than all previous releases combined ;)

The release was expected last week but they felt they had to do some final testing and include a few extra fixes before they would call it done.

a lot of usefull fixes and a few changes which will also change the gameplay again. i'm looking positive into it, sounds not so bad at all ^^ can't wait to see, how the medics will be if all is fine setted, but they shouldn't be too less powerfull too, since ppl like it as well i guess.

I am very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

Warren > You're right, it is a big release... mostly bug fixes, optimisation, cleaning of code. But there is only a *few features* that will change NQ gameplay/user point of view (that the point I wanted to underline).

And yeah, NQ 1.2.5 is a strong base or future additions in NQ 1.3.0. :P

Rafaello > Basically, you will have to play *as a team* and not use some rambo medics (on a server with these settings). Use skill, not some "unfair" advantages.
I am really looking forward to playing this new mod, as it fix one of the things that I don't really like in ET. :P

Over the years i've felt that 'some' rambo medics become an important part of a team. Not that they actually work as part of the team, but create the diversion (or clearing) needed for the rest to get by.
Actually getting medics to stop and help will take awhile to sink in.They might just start Rage-quitting when they die too much, or blame everyone else for being noob for not helping them :roll:

Hurrah for engineers having an award...credit at last :o

I don't think there will be less rambo medics, auto-healing is still the main reason why someone choose to be a "rambo".
In this they will be easy to kill, but not less rambos imho.

Anywat this version is really interesting, I hope we will see it soon on our servers :wink: (looking at Bow, Icy, Seb) :roll:

I think removing the 12% hp boost for medic sucks if they wont compensate it.

If they do it, they should compensate it with something as well(a new weapon etc).

Flower > Auto healing can be disabled :P

No need to compensate that, medic have already a strong advantage : giving themselves medipack ! However, they can'tshot while healing this way... :twisted:

I also welcome the new award, particularly the "Hero of War" award. ET is a teamplay based gameplay, and it is its strength.. but yeah, teamplay is very difficult to play on public server.

Ramboing is the part of the game that I dislike the most, and that keep me sometimes away from playing ET when I'm fed up with it. I have the soul of an obj player :P
