Well I have been following the community very closely watching their changelogs seeing how their progress has been and when I got to recheck today. Both of the 2 major mods which are developing quickly and *nicely* I might add have both released new versions. My opinion is currently pro mod is looking very good with neat gameplay changes. Shrap mod is only a little behidn but only becuase of a few personal decisions such as footstepping sounds and not really any large gameplay aspects.

Heres the changelog for both the new mod releases are here. This is the first release for Pro mod btw, made publically available :) Follow their progress on crossfire if your interested.

Pro mod:

Bugfixes

* Fixed Console spam caused by a null entity call on the flamethrower


Changes

HUD

* Rebuilt the HUD from scratch basically.
* Removed every component.
* Added a Spawntimer to the HUD (under the Map time).
* Added a Ready Up indicator in warmups.
* Added a Fire Team to the HUD (this needs feedback).
* Moved the Obituary List under the respawn timer and extended it to 6 Popups.
* Moved the Chat List to the left down side, and extended it to 5 Popups.
* Added a numeric HP display, aswell as a small bar.
* Added a numeric Veil Power display, aswell as a small bar.
* Added a numeric Grenade and Satchel / Health pack / Ammo pack display. If you run out of charge, a chargebar will be displayed until its full again.
* Added a numeric Ammo display, aswell as a small bar. The bar will turn red on low ammo and on reloads.
* Added a weapon indicator icon, it will turn red on low ammo and on reloads.

Gameplay changes

We are very careful when touching gameplay elements, yet there is few which is just not good for a solid MP game.

Spawn system

* Removed the personal wait time.
* The first spawn is random for both teams. This is because we dont want to have both teams spawning at the same time.
* Bank spawns are fixed to 13 seconds on the allied side and 14 seconds on the axis side.
* All other maps have a 15 seconds spawn for both teams.


Please give us feedback on this topic here: The Respawn System

Misc changes

* Raised footstep sounds.
* Lowered luger sound.
* Removed Weapon Tracers.
* Removed Weapon Muzzleflash.
* Localized the hitsounds: You will be able to put any sound you want as your hitsounds. The server does not need to have those sounds or package.


Weapon Change

We are eager to help the community on the weapon part, but since this is the most sensitive part of the game, we DO requiere your feedback.
So if the changed weapons in this release do somehow not fit, let us know, else we cant change it.

* MP40 spread when shooting from the hip was reduced to close to that of the ironsight.
* Grenade velocity is now a bit higher again, not as high as in the unpatched retail game.


Interaction System
This was number one on our priority list, and i am glad that we could make the changes we wanted, even witouth the SDK.

* Objectives always had to pick up, now you can just walk over them to pick them up.
* Syringe, or magical whatever, can be bound to _weapon2 and you can basically walk over the map with it.
* Pliers / Wrench can be bound to _weapon2 and you can basically walk over the map with it.

Shrap mod's aim seems to give it an ET flavor.. which imo is better.

And it seems that pro's aim is to make it better for competitive play but not really change it that much..
