I have been on for a while now and figured I had two cents to throw into the ring here.
The first issue I see is that LFG seems to love fast paced combat and movement akin to quake or unreal tournament then some of the more modern games like Rainbow 6 siege more focused on tactics. We added both AOT gear movement swords and a parkour swep, but both are melee, one is broken strong, one is broken weak, and neither create smooth easy movement making pvp less interesting.
I propose the addition of a small addon called Black Ops 3 Exosuit Movement.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...1545679817
The addon is extremely lightweight and is very balanced/not abusable.
In terms of movement it will provide a nice boost to pvp capabilities by allowing advanced movement while allowing the use of regular weapons. It is also not broken because aiming will be harder given the newly created 3d movement, and the now more mobile weapons are still weaker then many drones, LFS aircraft, tanks, and more.
It defaults to being equipped on spawn and the sounds are somewhat annoying, but it is easily turned off in server settings (this turns it into a spawn-able pickup). If one wanted, it could even be added as a member only or donator only item to incentive membership or donations.
I would also say the jump distance could use a small boost from the defaults because gmod does not come with ledge grabbing like Blackops would. Other then that the default settings feel fine as is.
My other suggestion is about plycore.
Currently, plycore is banned/disabled for all non admins because it was abused. However, it was abused by a very small minority, from what I remember it was literally only Nicegirl using it who got it banned.
Semi proof here, Saint you might remember more - https://lennyfacegaming.org/showthread.php?tid=7598
"I had a tracker that showed me all the players on the map then I had another one that makes me fly w/o buildmode useing space"
It is a very useful set of functions for interacting with the user and the player avatar. Many of the cooler pac3-like creations I wish to make with it are gated behind some of the disabled functions, and it would be nice to make a better debug system using its better messaging system.
Keep in mind that it was one rouge player that caused this who hasn't been seen in over two years. We also have regular bans and the power to restrict rights or demote as punishment for abusing privledges or tricks on LFG. One bad egg should not permanently ruin the bunch.
Also, if Saint or someone else feels that some of the functions are too powerful no matter what, it would still be nice to have the rest back. In specific it would be nice to have plyapplyforce() and plysetang(). I wish to obtain these so I can create meme displays such as Bulk Bogan the super wrestler or Jackie Chan the world's best martial artist.
And again, there are already functions that are more powerful then the two that I listed. We have admins who can handle people who abuse such functions. If we didn't want any abuse to be possible we would have removed tanks so they can't spawncamp.
If anyone has any suggestions relating to these, reply in the comments
EDIT: If I didn't make it clear, the BO3 exosuit is not a weapon its some form of togglable equippable. If it is added as a default you will never be free of it, and the noises can get annoying, especially in buildmode. This is why i suggested making it a spawnable item.
