There is one thing that no new version of Zeroping can fix, and that's the attitude of some people who use it. I'm talking about those who, when playing on a ZP server, exclusively use the Sniper Rifle as if using ZP means that the server is suddenly a Sniper Arena.
Case in point: CTF-November. On this level, you have an ASMD, Rocket Launcher, Flak Cannon, BioRifle, Minigun and Ripper as well as the Sniper Rifle. On a ZP server running November, I can always find RL and Flak ammo (which in a way suits me because I use those weapons the most) but never any Rifle ammo. Why? Because everyone is running around with their new-found freedom to snipe LAN-style.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with sniping at all. It's just that it gets very, very tiresome when everyone's just using the same weapon and sniping left, right and centre. I know of some people who won't jump on to a ZP server if it's not running a map with a rifle on it.
All I'm asking is that, from now on, people remember that map authors put more than one weapon on a map for a reason - so that the map doesn't get boring.
