Making Crossfire Great again (Chapter 3)

Assisting our staff with reports:

The problem:
  There is a lot of cheaters, Glitches, bugs abusers and macro users it's becoming a real frustrating problem, our staff is doing their best but they are limited in numbers and there are lots of replays and reports being submitted daily, It's Understandable the staff is overwhelmed causing the current delays in bans, The thing with anti cheat is that there isn't so much it can do when most cheat developers have access to the game root files enabling them to patch their cheats very often bypassing our updates and Anti cheat.


The proposed solution:
  We need the staff to let us the community help them, there are many motivated and dedicated players who are willing to assist, Yes indeed we are currently able to report cheaters for staff reviewing but what if the staff would pick a group of trusted players or known pros to help review replays and reports not exactly to decide the verdict but to vote on the replays whether do they see evidence of cheating, bug abuse or Any violations.

Tickets and reports that would have 70% or higher Votes that it seems to have no evidence of violations would have a lower priority to be checked by game staff however Other Tickets that seem to have Much higher votes on them as to have clear evidence of violations would be prioritized as to be checked by game staff first and I believe having people who played the game for years and are very experienced check the replays would surely help the staff to expose smart cheaters that aren’t very blatant.

This whole thing can be managed in a separate discord server using Discord bots and that server would be Just for the game staff and the community members picked to assist.

This won't necessarily reduce the amount of incoming reports but it will assist with handling them much faster.


One thing regarding players using macros which has sadly become very common, I'm not sure if most of them aren't getting banned since there are too many and that'd impact the game banning many old users but if that's case then it's understandable however there should still be a form of punishment to control macro usage, can be temporary bans or as a funny suggestion if a player is proven to have been using a macro for a certain weapon, that weapon would be removed from their inventory with all it's variants for a good while and the name of the player should be added to a public list of shame
                                   

The Weapon Meta:

The problem:
  Currently there are specific weapons in the game that offer a very big advantage above almost every other weapon, we always had guns better than others but there was never that huge of a gap in stats, Certain weapons like the Gatling gun Infernal Dragon and it's variants are making every other Machine gun in Mutation modes or even every mode Just seem like a very inferior choice, Same thing with the following guns for other modes 
COP 357 Derringer, USP, CheyTac M200, Kar 98K, QBZ-03 ect... (up for debate what else can be added to the list) Currently these weapons are way too superior in their categories it almost makes no sense to use other weapons, People are no longer using different pistols, snipers or Machine guns like before, it's always Just the listed weapons due to how much advantage they offer, Yes some weapons will always be weaker like certain shotguns or SMGs but I am discussing the average weapon stats it is undeniable that our current Meta weapons are Just in a different league when compared to the weapons we've always used in the past 


The proposed solution:
  I think the mentioned weapons need a rework or a nerf to give the huge variety of guns in the game a chance to be used more often as that is also something many people miss and it also makes the game more exciting seeing people be able to show off the rare weapons they have in their arsenal without being under the pressure of their guns being far slower or weaker than the Meta weapons, from a profit perspective it's actually better since people will be less worried about not being able to use the guns they win or buy and will pursue winning more weapons as at the moment most people are Just worried about winning those few meta guns and care much less about obtaining others.

I think older weapons generally need to be considered more when deciding the stats for new weapons, A good example for that would be The Barret in Mutation mode, In the past it was only the VIP Barret and it's noble variants that could do full damage but now the newer regular barrets can do that to, including the ZM4 barrets and the GP crate Barret abyssal dragon, That hurts the value of older barrets like the Divine Dragon, imperial dragon, Red dragon and so on, we need to either give all barrets the same stats for mutation or adjust the newer non VIP barrets to be the same as the older ones.

I actually really agree with this one. I'd also love to see a non-VIP option for the game modes for more challange and fun (saying this with more than 30 VIPs in my storage)
