This mod alters some of the weapons in the way they react e.g range, damage, this is how the author explains it:
After sustained testing on two 24/7 SoF2 servers, I've put the weapons through one last set of adjustments. The tweak has been tried out in all the game modes and across the stock maps and a number of customs. it's worked out well and does produce better balance across the range of available weapons. -=SoF=-Hammer

Hammered Tweak This tweak has been developed with the patient assistance of -=SoF=- RamRod. Thanks to the members of SoF and the general public for their assistance in evaluating the tweak at its various stages. You have all been very helpful, and I welcome all responses. Visit http://www.sofposse.com to hit our forums and leave suggestions or thoughts. Credit also belongs with the Raven SoF2 team, whose forward thinking in designing SoF2 permits easy modification. Use: To use, place z_hammered.pk3 in base folder of SoF2, and then run a multiplayer server. If you run a server with this tweak, please add (Hammered) to your server name. I'd ask that if you're interested in using this tweak to develop your own damage mod, you credit it. Thanks. -=SoF=-Hammer sschwinghamer@hfx.eastlink.ca -------- Concept The concept of this mod is not realism; it is purely a gameplay tweak. By altering damage, recoil, accuracy and some other behaviours, this tweak is intended to require a bit more forethought on the part of the player in most combat situations. Some weapons were slightly imbalanced in the stock SoF2 in a way that negatively affected play on close-quarters (USAS-12) or wide-open (sniper) maps. I've tried to address that both with the weapons themselves and with logical counter-strategies. It is worth noting that the difference between ranges above 4000 is pretty much academic on most maps - except RMG. -------- Substance: This will spell out the values that have been altered for each weapon.
