tbh dont use the nolockdown from pure/purestats or the even the original one with CB12 etc
imo its best to make our own which still locks down a bit but not as much as it does.. the bug itself is caused by the mini giving momentum to the player when it hits being much to high
if you notice, when playin with no lockdown enabled on dm servers etc, the enforcer, RL etc will still stop you dodging - all theyve done is reduce the momentum given by the mini to almost none
i'd suggest just reducing the momentum to a reasonable level so hammer jumping while under fire is still possible, but not if the aim is good enough - which is a good compromise imo
discuss etc
oh and also... lockdown is not only about hammerjumps
it also prevents you from dodging and thats pretty gay....
I actually have a perfect example in my vid.......
I go past the lift on lava... QiutiQ gets out of the spawn as I am at the door level rushing for final.... instead of going after me with flak which would be the obvious weapon choice here since it delivers alot more damage then the minigun for this type of fight...
but no... he minigunned me and prevented me from dodging to the objective.... he didnt have enough time to kill me with minigun because minigun isnt made to deliver damage quickly, he made a dumb weapon choice but still managed to kill me because of the lockdown. A flakball would have killed me immediately and it would have also been a skilled shot.... 2 primary flak shots could also have killed me....
minigun is a very versatile weapon already, but lockdown makes it usefull in 100% of situations rendering every other gun nearly useless
if all you want to use is a single weapon fine but tbh I think it adds a lot of fun to the game when you have to play wise (choose the right weapon) to win a map... and not just have a big prrrt vs d0ng contest in virtually any situation.....

was it too hard to load a sixpack to his face then since it was pretty obivious somebody would come after you?
