Blockland is becoming more of a realistic FPS engine than a building game (rant)
Cybertails1998:
I mean look, literally kilometric forgettons of guns and most happen to be real-life-like firearms instead of cartoony boomsticks.
Several vehicles based on actual tanks or made up, specifically for combat.
Lots of DM/TDM/jail escape servers with those guns and vehicles.
And let's not forget the billions of CoD gamemode and gun and BF mechanic threads in suggestions and requests.
Seriously, it's like BL is a foundation for realistic shooters and realistic shooters only.
Whatever weapon pack that only consists of AK47s and M16s gets tons of support and those that don't ultimately die a horrible death and are left to rot.
Tons of CoD imitating servers.
Tons of weaponpacks and vehicles.
Abuse of the poor Afghan DM save.
...I hope you get what I'm pointing at.
Questions frequently asked by rabid CSS fans:
"forget YOU! WE DO WAHT WE WANT!"
Then make those millions of ultra-lambda-realistic AKs for Call of Duty or something like that instead. Or for Counter Strike. Will fit more in there. This is a cartoony internet legos game, the weapons are supposed to at least look like generic laser-shooty gizmos.
"THERE'S NORMAL SERVERS TOO--"
Yeah I can see the 10% good freebuilds/DMs that don't use whatever 1337 quickscope weapon packs the majority uses. Not to forget the nonexistent dms that use the actually good cartoony boomsticks like amade's repeater.
"BUT WE LIKE OUR GUNS, WE WOULD LIKE TO SHOOT GUNS IN BLOCKLAND!"
Then make a separate master server somehow and name it "Blockland 2: Call of Duty DLC". Or make a Blockland mod for Battlefield 3. Or go the extremes and port the v8 army men mod or something.
"I AM ONLY HERE TO YELL AT YOU FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON YOU loving friendRON"
Get banned. Nobody will miss you.
Sheath:
Blockland is a sandbox game by design and features.
Just because its players use it for FPS purposes doesn't make it an FPS game.
There is nothing realistic about floating limbs and jet powered plastic figures.

yes but the part where guns taken almost copied off of cod/bf with litteral hands
i agree with the OP
Placid:
i kind of agree. every time there's a good build these days, it's always "so what gamemode will it be used for??!?"
i kind of dislike that everything has to be a minigame and that having biulds just for buildings' sake doesn't really exist anymore.
but then people can play it how they like i guess. they should just respect that there are people who don't play the game simply for the shooting and stuff.

Well its the community that is deciding to create, share, and promote use of those files.
If you don't like it, boycott the files and host something else. Leave servers that use such files.
Blaming the game as a whole is pretty ridiculous.
