Remove /holiday eng

Why does it exist again?

It's certainly not to balance out VIPs and regulars, because VIPs can and do use it. Newbies don't know about it, so they get fucked by it.

The spray can is an annoying weapon that is not too annoying for PTP, but annoying enough that it should be a pickup instead of a short command.

Similarly, grenades are a little overpowered to be giving to people with just a simple command. We already have pickups.

Rifles should also be pickups, as has been suggested by Saurabh and others.

At the moment, /holiday eng seems to be mainly used by regular players who don't really need the help but want to overuse its weapons at their convenience. I'm fine with the weapons, but I think there should be more of a price for getting them than just a timer between uses.

So a lvl 1spends 2mins+ taking pickups before he can face other people going 2+ places to take Armor,spray,rifle,grenade... ?

/holiday eng gives newbies a chance to fight the VIPs and it adds fun to the gamemode.

Newbies don't know /holiday eng, have no chance with a rifle against snipers, and VIPs can use all the other weapons against the newbies as well.

The solution is to make VIPs less overpowered, not to add a bunch of annoying weapons that VIPs can also use against the newbies. Nothing is going to solve the imbalance between VIPs and everyone else as long as VIPs have a perfectly accurate weapon that they can kill someone in 3 or less hits with before the attacker can even use whatever special weapons they have.

I think pickups would be more fun. Instead of a VIP getting to the tower in LS, typing /holiday eng and spraying everyone and doing /holiday eng again when they run out of spray, they'd actually have to go to a pickup and risk something to get the weapon.

VIPs would use the saw instead... Just sayin'  :D

Yeah very simple logic. This was made for holiday and command should be removed! +1

Newbies just don't know about game mode too, remove the game mode too then?

Yeah I like the idea. But for President, Rifle should be set as a weapon for President Class.

True, but you can't use the saw on a bunch of people at once like you can the spray can.

You know why
No, I don't.

Again, not sure of the logic in your argument here.

Okay, still not finding much reason not to remove /holiday eng, just that you don't like the idea.

Maybe- but that's another topic :)

Hell no.

The only cmd people get to compete with sniper is this.

Rifle spawns are not Any better than holiday eng except for another refill.

At first I was disagreeing with you. But now I see the point.

I would like this but only if there is a rifle spawn at EACH Spawn or and not like the grenade spawn where it consumes time due to the long distance. +1 in this case.

If not then it would only increase the burden on the Lvl1 in going at each rifle spawn. In this case -1
