Could we make a White List (ie disallows certain weapons) on Black Mesa?

What with how unbalanced the new weps have made things (specifically Demo set and Tomislav), I think we ought to at least consider disallowing them until they are nerfed.
 
lol. You are joking if you're telling me you're getting killed by the demo set as one of the main combat classes- pyros, decent soldiers, decent demomen, any heavy (specifically natasha heavy, but who really uses that other than to annoy), scouts, heck even spies with the enforcer and decent aim completely decimate demorabians. Its mostly a set to pwn newer players with, or players playing offclasses they aren't that great at- especially now that you can't half-charge anymore.

Tomislav is already nerfed as of tonight (\o/), but either way, no, no whitelisting.
 
No... This is not something I can see happening on our servers for many reasons, OP weapons came in some of the past updates and Valve nerfs them eventually. This is just one of those updates that will pass like all the others have.
 
I don't agree with this.

I do agree that 1001 Demoknights should be nerfed, but banning them outright worries me. For one, who's to say what's OP? Is it one Admin? Would it be a group of admins, who wouldn't speak for all of eGO? Would it be eGO who aren't 100% of people who play on the server, there be many people who like playing with clans but not being in one exactly. How OP is OP?

In a quote from Batman and Robin, which I cannot find on youtube but if you know the movie, it's when he's talking to Poison Ivy before she becomes Ivy, "It simply raises too many questions".

And don't worry. As warcraft used to say, Demoknights will be NERFED TO THE GROUND, BABY! TO THE GROUND! ;)
 
Valve will fix this in their good time (TBA). There's no need to ban any weapons because they're momentarily OP'd.
 
100% agreed with fallen.

Also, restricting things makes less people less likely to play on our servers. Even though certain (THE SHORTSTOP) items make me angry occasionally (ALL THE TIME) I still don't think we should EVER restrict weapons except in events (WHEN AN EC TELLS YOU TO). ;)
 
If by banning OP weapons you mean "banning Thereven from playing on the opposite team as me", I support this 100%.
 
No cause although people may complain about the new items a lot of people are using them. So if you were to ban those items then you would drive away more people then you would make happy. Also from my few hours played since the uber update nothing seems too badly botched. The tomislav did get on my nerves a little bit thought. Heavies are not supposed to be that sneaky...
 
We want as many people as possible to be interested in playing on our servers, and if we don't allow certain content - especially new content - then we're going to lose a big player base. Black Mesa has gone up in rank every single day for a long time now, and I want to see it continue to rise (it's ranked 45th best in the world). Plus, who're we to decide what items are too strong or too weak?
 
If wanting to ban weapons on our servers is what you want, you need to do 2 things while playing on our servers: 1. Rage Quit, 2. Play a diff game. I doubt that our servers would stay full if we ever did this.
 
Why would you apply this, of all maps, in mesa? I mean, come ON, it's blackmesa, not a serious map...

It's like asking for crits to be disabled..

If we ban the weapons would we all get Bat Visas? If so, I'm game.
 
No.

The thing that gets on my nerves is when 1/2 of my teammates are demoknights. I uber this guy and what does he do? He takes out his sword and tries to kill people with it...seriously?
