C-Bug.

[Jay]

yeah and the devs don't play this as seriously as the players do.. so why this would bother the devs is beyond me

I have been playing SA-MP now since the day it was released, and developing for it for just over a year now. I probably haven't gone a week without playing SA-MP ever since 0.1 was released. Just because I don't play on the same servers you do, doesn't mean I don't play 'seriously'.

From what I can see, most people besides devs are fine with it.

Right. So you are speaking on behalf of the 40.000 registered players on LVP, which about 2% of which probably know about this topic.

"Properly" in single player is what you're referring to- properly in sa-mp is using the cbug.

SA-MP is a modification of singleplayer, remember. If this weapon was designed to react with this bug, I'm sure SA-MP officials would support it to, which, they don't by the way.

Fact of the matter is guys like HaZe and myself fight 900% more than the devs or admins do, and have a better grasp on the fighting side of sa-mp and LVP.

Like I said with Munch, just because I don't play that much on the same servers as you do, doesn't mean I don't play. My style of playing is deathmatch to, by the way.

1. it makes it easier for a new player with little money, and wants to earn money with nothing but a desert eagle, while other people have sawns. use the c-bug for defense and you're all good.

Killing isn't the only method of earning money in LVP. Properties, vehicle exports, borrowing, minigames and ship idling are some examples. In 2.90, there will be over 20 new money earning features introduced which are even easier than killing, one example is taking a visit to your local scrap yard and crushing your vehicle for a scrap value.

2. it makes duels more exciting

A lot of people play SA-MP because they like GTAanandreas so much. Bug abusing will take the general feel of the game away when it comes down to duels.

3. when u switch to the wrong gun in a sawn fight, c-bug fixes the error

You can buy other weapons which don't slow you down over the deagle, such as the Colt 45.

4. you can avoid grenades and burning cars if ur shooting a walk weapon

I completely disagree. If a car is driving towards you in flames, or someone has just thrown a grenade at you, if you are shooting with a walk weapon, you have to start running, however if you are shooting with a run weapon, normally you are already running, and can get away quicker.

5. it's a very widespread and popular form of fighting

I agree, which is why I think bug abusing should not be allowed, because it will ruin it.

6. many servers allow it, such as a highly popular one known as GTA:T (GTA Tournament)

GTA:T may be popular and known, but it doesn't normally have many players connected to it, infact I have yet to see more than 20 players connected. Other servers which are even more popular, such as Party Server and Littlewhiteys do not allowed it.

7. obviously the majority of LVP want this to be allowed, and they're the ones that fucking matter in this community.

Like I said with Munch, you are not speaking on behalf of the 40.000+ registered players here.
