Mall Revamp

Mall has been revamped by the community, It's been entirely remade from scratch!

Unfortunately this new site's filesize limit is really small, and Imgur pictures do not get uploaded, So click the link below for all of Mall Revamp's pictures.

The return of Sight Reticle Coloring.

Sight coloring has returned, It works the same as before, Get 10 kills while you have an optic equipped on your weapon and you will unlock reticle coloring, where you can give your sight reticle any color you want with RGB sliders.

Unfortunately, this does not work on default scopes, default iron sights and canted sights.

The ammo catagory:

Added new attachment catagory: Ammo

• Armor Piercing, Hollow Point, Flechette, Birdshot and Slugs have been moved to that.
• Available on Primaries and Secondaries.
• Judge can now use Flechette, Birdshot and Slugs.
  • Judge with Flechette has a bug(?) that gives it 8 pellets instead of 4, Making it a super effective shotgun.
  • Judge with Birdshot is very deadly up close.
  • Judge with Slugs deal more damage than the Executioner.
• SFG 50 can no longer use Armor Piercing or Hollow Point.
• Birdshot now decreases both max and min damage. (Already in the main game, Shadow nerf)
  • Max damage range however is slightly increased.
• Executioner can now use AP and HP.

The 5th one!

Unfortunately due to the old forums being gone, The other 4 are gone too, But I will revisit a few suggestions that need more attention.

(This topic series is about minor suggestions that I come up that can improve Phantom Forces that do not need a full topic)

Extra VIP server commands.

• /changestats <weapon>:<module>:<integer>
  • Allows you to change the stats of a weapon, Resets when the VIP server closes.
  • Example: /changestats FAL 50.00:MIN_DAMAGE:100 would change the FAL 50.00's min damage to 100.
• /resetstats <weapon>
  • Resets the stats to default on a specific weapon.
• /admin <player>
  • Allows a player to use most server commands like the VIP server owner can.
• /unadmin <player>
  • Demotes that player that decides to abuse your VIP server commands, Eugh...
• /randomloadout
  • Gives you a random primary, secondary and melee with random attachments.
• /sethealth <number>
  • Changes the max health of everyone in the server.
• /freezetime
  • Freezes the round timer.

When someone starts a votekick, A text opens where the player has to write the reason of the votekick.

• Would make votekicks less random.
• There should also be a message saying that if votekicks are abused, the user would get chatbanned.
• Everyone can read the reason.

When playing Gun Game, The Golden ZIP is required to win a game.

• Melee shouldn't be used to win the game on the last weapon.
  • Abused alot by people who are too lazy to use the Golden ZIP.

CTAR Barrel should rename all TAR-21 names to CTAR-21!

• There are several "TAR-21" names left untouched while it should be CTAR-21.
  • Examples are the Death UI, It still says you are killed by a TAR-21.
  • Killfeed
  • Weapon Loadout UI.

When the Glock Stock is equipped on the Glock 17 or 18, The weapon name shouldn't be renamed to "G Stock"

• Why is that happening?

Update the colors and some of the models of the 3rd person weapons.

• Most of the 3rd person models still use the blue-black old color.
• Remington 700 is still green.
• SL-8 is simply a G36 model made white.
• HK416 is simply a M4A1.
• The Glocks have stocks equipped even when they don't have it.
• VSS Vintorez has a scope equipped even when it isn't equipped.

Update the weapon background UI.

• All weapons are still using the old colors.
• The new weapons are missing while there is clearly space left for them.

Add an exclusive scope attachment to the MSG90 and Henry 45-70.

• So many weapons are getting exclusive scope attachments, but the MSG90 not?
  • The Hensoldt ZF 6x42 would be perfect, It's the scope that the PSG-1 uses.
• The MSG90 is more of a semi auto sniper, why shouldn't it have a scope?
• Same thing to Henry 45-70, It could use the Leopuld scope that the Steyr Scout has.

The Frying Pan should make the TF2 pan hit sound.

• PWOONNGG!!!

At last, after maybe over a year, The HK51B has finally hit the test place!
And the big mystery has been solved, What catagory was the HK51B gonna be in? LMG's? PDW's? Grenades? No! It's Carbines!

HK51B stats:

Extra notes about the HK51B:

  • (+) Increases RPM by 8%.
  • (-) Increases recoil.
  • (-) Decreases suppression.
• Contracts are being worked on by Lito.
• New voting system being worked on by Lito.

Alright, so this suggestion will help solve 3 things:

• People asking for more attention with weapons for low ranks.
• People wanting to try out X gun while being too low ranked or have no credits.
• Some guns being ignored.

I present you:

Gun of the Day!

It's very simple, Every day a random gun from the game will be selected to be the Gun of the Day!
This gun for an entire day will get the following things:

• The gun is free to use for everyone!
  • Anyone who does not own this gun by the end of the day will automatically unequip it.
  • The gun tooltip in the UI is colored green if it's the Gun of the Day.
• A 25 XP bonus kill reward for making a kill with the Gun of the Day.
• Players that equip the Gun of the Day but do not actually own them cannot unlock skins or buy attachments for it, They can only run it stock.

Litteraly EVERY gun can become Gun of the Day, EVERY GUN! No melee's or grenades though.

Yes, this suggestion has some cons, such as if a very annoying gun is selected as Gun of the Day (BFG 50, AA-12, MG3KWS,...) but this way the low ranks actually have a chance to give high rank guns a try for a day + Underused weapons actually have a chance to shine in battle.

So, what do you guys think of this?

Yetaloz We do not mention the "F" word here.

NayNayWhip Back in my day, we cuddled together on the hill of the dark highway lot while it rained grenades.
We had to take cover or the enemy forces would rain us with BFG BT's, FAMAS or Honey Badgers in the bitter cold weather of the revamped crane site.
But worst of all... we had no FAL's...
I barely made it out alive.

Overview

The M231 is... an assault rifle?
A gun that is supposed to be mounted and never to be used unmounted... but it's unmounted anyway.

This gun high damage for an assault rifle, and insanely high fire rate.
What, are you calling this OP? No, I didn't mention about it's recoil yet.
The recoil of this weapon is INSANE!

Originally this gun was added as a "Troll gun" for high ranks if they are bored, but over the past years, people have developed strategies to properly use this gun.
This gun carries extra ammo reserve for you to waste, so be thankful.

If you want to use this gun as a DMR, good luck, you need a good enough mouse and a fast finger to be able to tap fire it. (I can), If you able to do this, you will actually have an effective PDW + DMR combined, since this gun actually 3 hits up close and 4 hits at far distance.
Also, this gun is locked in full auto, so no semi for you.

The iron sights of this weapo... wait a second, it doesn't have any.

M855 Conv.

The M231 has access to the M855 Conv. found in Ammo, which is a less powered 5.56x45mm NATO in a 100rd Beta-C double drum magazine, Enjoy spraying!

Damage is reduced to 34 -> 19, muzzle velocity reduced, damage range reduced, recoil increased, walk speed decreased, reload time increased but atleast you get a huge magazine and 200 ammo reserve, worth it right?

Oh, I also forgot to mention, You cannot use this as a DMR, it has choke.

Wire Stock

No

Attachments

The M231 has a few unique attachments being the Short Barrel, Hera CQR Grip, Wire Stock and M855 Conv.
Since this gun is using 5.56x45mm NATO, it has access to the .223 Rem ammo type!
Sights are mounted ontop of the M231's carry handle.

If you wish to use a suppressor, I don't know why you want to, but the Muffler and Oil Filter's RPM decrease actually helps agains't the recoil.

If you want a loadout, I recommend you this:

• ACOG Scope
• Muzzle Brake
• Blue Laser
• Blue Laser
• Default

Use T to alt aim with the M231 for close range and the ACOG Scope for long range tap firing.
The Blue Lasers will help with hipfire and the muzzle brake will reduce a ton of vertical recoil.
If you wish to use the M855 Conv., Unequip your ACOG since it will be useless.

If you want a low recoil loadout use this:

• DCL 120
• Oil Filter
• Hera CQR Grip
• Tri Laser
• .223 Remington

Using this actually makes the M231 have a semi stable recoil pattern.

My opinion on this gun

I actually enjoy it.
I actually mained it before the FAL.

I rate this gun 9.5/10. (If you can use it right)

Putting those two in the same sentence trigger me very hard.

PhantomSoldier

Nope, not happening.

PhantomSoldier My mouse asked to be included, it wanted to become popular.

G36 Yep, the banhammer struck the Ikea.

G36

M134 Vulcan

She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute.
It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds.

Bonjour monsieur.
Je suis cannot speak French so I'm gonna stop trying... (I don't need to learn French anyway)

Overview

The SCAR PDW is the PDW variant of the SCAR-L, however it is classified as a Carbine ingame. Weird right?
If the FAL PARA Shorty, Krinkov and G36C are in PDW's, why not the SCAR PDW?

The SCAR PDW despite its low RPM is much stronger up close than the SCAR-L, It can 3 hit kill, but it only 6 hit kills at long range.
Also, the SCAR PDW has a slightly better fire rate than the SCAR-L and SCAR-H firing at 650 RPM!
Another advantage is the better hipfire stability and slightly faster reload.
But it does have more aiming recoil, some of it is horizontal too, and that is the bad recoil we do not want, So a Compensator will be recommended to fight that.

The SCAR PDW has the 2nd best Suppression in the Carbine catagory only being beaten by the Jury.

The iron sights are the same as the entire SCAR series, bad iron sights, should be replaced as soon as possible.

9mm Conv.

The SCAR PDW has access to the 9mm Conversion.
While it didn't do much to the SCAR-L, On this gun it actually gives you a 50 round Drum Magazine, And it still reloads as fast as normal!

(+) Decreased recoil.
(+) Increases magazine capacity to 50!
(+) Increases ammo reserve to 150!
(+) Increases RPM to 750!
(+) Increases hipfire stability!
(-) Slight decrease in minimum range.
(-) Decreased muzzle velocity.
(-) Decreased penetration depth.
(-) Decreased suppression.
(-) Damage reduced to 30 -> 18!

Use this conversion to turn your SCAR PDW into a true PDW, Melt groups players up close!

7.62X51 Conv.

Turns your SCAR PDW into the SCAR-H PDW now firing 7.62x51mm NATO!
This is your carbine battle rifle here!

(+) Increases damage to 45.5 -> 22.
(+) Increases torso multiplier to x1.1. (Enough to 2 hit torso kill close range)
(+) Increases minimum range.
(+) Increases penetration depth.
(+) Increases suppression.
(-) Increased vertical recoil significantly.
(-) Halved maximum range.
(-) Decreases RPM to 625 RPM.
(-) Decreases muzzle velocity.
(-) Increases reload duration.
(-) Decreases magazine capacity to 20.
(-) Decreases aim speed.

Attachments

The SCAR PDW has a couple of unique attachments, being the Long Barrel, Retract Stock, Remove Stock, Full Stock, 9mm Conv and 7.62X51 Conv!
The PM II Scope is free to use on this weapon!

If you want a loadout, I recommend you this:

• DDHB Reflex
• Compensator
• Stubby Grip
• Full Stock
• Default

If you wish for lower recoil, Use .223 Rem as ammo, it has no significant loss in damage on this weapon.
If you are going to use 9mm Conv., Use the Angled Grip instead of the Stubby Grip.
If you are going to use 7.62X51 Conv., Use the Muzzle Brake instead of the Compensator because of that strong vertical recoil, the Compensator will only make it worse.

My opinion on this gun

My least favorite Belgian weapon.

Never have I been able to use it to its full potentional, however that will come to a change once I finally unlock the 9mm and 7.62 Conversions.
But for now, I am not really impressed with this weapon.

I rate this gun 7/10
