I play cop on 5 a lot, and to be honest i hear ppl in ts even before we get to a bank or whatever ask if we can go lethal's. This needs to change, I personally don't care to lethal seeing yes i do enjoy the rp, and the last time i tried to with a corpse it was one sided. Honestly i feel the payouts for lethal should just go away, but on the flip side of the coin remove the pardoning. This way it stays balanced for both sides.
The combat seizes i personally don't use It make for a better rp experience when we get back to the hq and i cut your straps and add it to my collection of rusting evidence pile that my csi department is still test firing to match up to other unsolved cases.
As far as the zurging on 5 at times its hard just to get guys to show up, seeing they have been getting the faces handed to them being rolled by groups of rebels non stop. I just tell them go when you die return to your city dutys. I can say on other servers though that wasn't the issue and the zurg is real at times there.
