So I figured I would return here to chime in with a bit of an update now that I have spent a decent amount of time on this server. First let me say the owner has been awesome. He has been trying to work out allot of the current issued and get the server running smoothly. With that said some problems do exsist that can scare away new players or make a less hardened vet rage quit.
TotalCalamity really seems to focus on PVP. With increased vehicle spawns and weapon caches, it doesn't take long to get a decent weapon to gun down those other survivors. However you learn quickly that the only way to really compete is to find a sniper rifle. As most PVP servers snipers rule. Right now the server has some issues with veteran players who have caches of M107s. They did have As50s which were removed, but the 107 causes the same issue that was presented by the AS50. 50 Cal weapons leave zero room for error. With their range and 1 shot 1 kill on any hit ability, they bring what could be fun and exciting firefights down to a crawl. It doesn't help when you have dedicated groups of folks who always have access to these weapons. This was exemplified one night when a handful of folks with M107s camped the towns around the spawn coast picking off fresh players in a constant stream of death spam. If the 50 Cals were removed completely I really believe some folks would leave because they simply aren't good enough without them to survive.
Either way I will continue on the server as I am a glutton for punishment. Besides I enjoy the numerous vehicle spawns and friendly chat. I would like to see players start with hunting kits, Hatchet, Knife, Matches so they can focus more on getting weapons and fighting.
