Before I post this, could somebody, after all these years, explain to me how I can but a space between to seperate subparagraphs from eachother? Thanks. No this thread will not be about flaming Efreeze!!!!!! 
Ok so I have felt this from almost the beginning of efreeze, however after having a conversation with Necro today about the past of our community I realized how much I dislike efreeze when comparing it to the good old FreezeInstaUnlagged.
But, before I go on, let me explain to the newer players what FreezeInstaUnlagged is.
FIU was the predecessor of EFREEZE, the mod we are playing as we speak. When I first started playing on 1.31 almost 7 years ago, this was the mod that was played on most of the servers that runned freezetag. It was a simple mod that basically did the same as Efreeze does now however with a little features added to it and most importantly none of people’s lacking performances was blamed upon the mod itself.
Now before I start whining what is wrong with Efreeze, let me say that the biggest reason why I never complained about it like I am doing now was because I didn’t want to whine about something that other people are putting a lot of free time in for our beloved community. I really need to say that I really appreciate all the work and if it hadn’t been done by someone, it would have resulted in the death of freezetag on 1.31.
My dislikes:
1. The speed is to high, mainly because of the hook speed, and makes the game too easy.
Why did u guys make it so fast compared to FIU? It started with HoD running servers with high hook speed and all of a sudden it’s a main CFG setting. The high speed makes walking and quadjumping useless, and makes it possible to dodge 20 players by going retardmode with the grapple. It really makes the game too easy in public games. I also have the feeling that the overall gamespeed is too high aswell. In clanwars speed is owning tactic right now and for me it really brakes the fun.
You can see the prove in the scores of efreeze compared to FIU. Really they were, counted per minute about 10% lower most of the time. Plus a lot less people had those high scores. Now u can think maybe everybody simply got much better at this game, or maybe its because the speed has doubled?
2. Poor hitdetection and shotthroughs
Really what happened to this? I think there could be two reasons involved here. First of all efreeze aint unlagged but there’s something else. In the beginning of Efreeze I had 0 problems with shotthroughs and u didn’t hear a lot of complaints about it. But all of the sudden, like bit more than a year or two ago, I had huge ST problems. Maybe it because of the new force model options that were introduced that sometimes things get fucked up? Maybe its because on what a shot is calculated? Serverside or clientside of the shooter or clientside of the one getting shot. When I shoot my shot goes through the players, so it isn’t calculated on my side. Also it doesn’t always happen and only on certain players. Most of the time the ping I have and the ping of the player I shot through is not the issue.
The thing I loved about Efreeze, or more what I thought to love was the idea of take FIU and improve it like by adding models, more CFG options, maps and make it more stable. Now the first three have been done, however instead of making it more stable had is gone the other way and instead of improving a loved and nearly perfect system, it changed to much making it more of a whole new mod, than an improvement of the mod we used to play.
I hereby make a petition to at least TRY to use the old speed values again, but more importantly I want the hit problems fixed first. Those who do not want the low speed values without a reasonable argument are simply to scared to see a drop of performance. Plus imho I think old players have more of an argument than new players to begin with, since they most likely never tried FIU.
If I could learn programming or something I am willing to do so! REALLY. I got plenty of time this summer, so if you need anything from me to help to improve this mod I will immediately do it. Teach me.
READ MY NEW SCORE THEAD PLEASE!
(AGAIN, I apologize to the makers of efreeze for complaining. I just want to help improving and really apreciate all the work you did for us)
lol) and sometimes no posts for days on end.
.
. There are two contrasting styles of play on efreeze and i think thats what makes it interesting and fun.
