The vast majority of the weapons kill in 5 or 6 shots, not 2 or 3. You may have been getting shot in the head which does way more damage. I'll considering disabling headshot damage if enough people want it gone though. Tracers are gonna be put on every weapon too.
I've also changed the rebels to a light green color, but I'll probably play around with it a bit more because I'm not sure how much I like the color. Either way, the teams are far more easy to distinguish now.
As for the blood, Rally's blood mod doesn't save prefs sometimes so blood staining turns itself back on every once in a while, but I'll fix that.
Also, finally, vehicle respawning should be totally fixed, thanks to an event made by Redo.
