  1. For the most part, weapon hardpoints seem super stripped down from their MWO potential. It'd be nice to be able to slap 2 ballistic on the atlas D or have Banshees be interesting again. The 3E has 4 ballistic and 4 energy in MWO, but 1 ballistic and 2 energy in MW5 for crying out loud!
  2. There were a few, but Steam update broke them all. Track them for notification of when / if they get fixed. Otherwise, +1 for interest, updated or new.
  3. Necro for interest. I know a couple of other music replacement mods used to exist before the Steam release update broke them all, so I know it's possible! I'd even do it myself if I knew how. As it is, I often turn MW5's music off and open up the MW2 soundtracks or Timothy's remixes in the background.
  4. Necro time! Steam update broke the "delete or rename the video file" fix. I can't find any replacement in the content folder, and even with the "legal-screen.mp4" file renamed and refiletyped, it still shows up. This might need to be in the realm of mods again.
  5. I've not had a problem with redirects, though I did keep Adblock off for a period of hours, not days, so I may have just missed them. My issues are with resource-heavy flashy ads that completely gum up the browser and cause it to crash if stacked over and over in multiple tabs. Here's an example of one that kills me. http://puu.sh/n2mRw/bdea97d83a.jpg What's wrong with gifs, advertisers? (Hypothetical question, I know you guys don't have any control over these.) Those are bad enough for hogging bandwidth and contributing to data caps, but at least they don't cause actual slowdowns and crashes. This one below I mentioned in my original post, with actual 3D rendered elements, complete with anti-aliasing and notable slowdown when I'm really taxing my video card by staring at a heavy fog radiation storm around a bunch of headlamped power armored settlers in an alt+tabbed borderless windowed Fallout 4. http://puu.sh/n2nnU/c0a2f5d723.jpg Bonus points for an ad that actually has to have a loading screen buffer. And below, another one using tons of overlays. http://puu.sh/n2nmH/3cc6167152.jpg I could just keep jumping pages to get more, but it looks like an ad style epidemic rather than one particular seller through your service. Is this just how ads are today? Have I been so sheltered for years with my adblock that actual resource-intensive ads are an okay thing? When I quit ads, the worst you had to deal with were 10 second looping gifs in banners. EDIT: Because I'm not just an entitled whiner, I got a supporter thing. I'd still like to see this problem with ads come to a resolution. Not just because of past headaches with it, but because it'd benefit the site I've been using for mods since Morrowind to have those too cheap for $2 still supporting with ad revenue! 'Cause $2 is taking a long way home in gas, getting a small coffee, or buying one's hypothetical kids a candy bar at checkout. 15 minutes of work at the most baseline of min wage possible, there really is no valid excuse for not being able to shell out ;P
  6. Each time I see the pleading to turn on ads when I poke around after a new moddable RPG comes out, I do feel really guilty for not supporting this site that I have in the past used quite extensively. I turn off adblocker for this each time, then promptly re-enable it after the first time my browser locks up. Seriously, consider ceasing the use of services which use intensive flash ads. That H&R block one in particular which actually has 3D elements in it, who's idea at the agency was that? It's fine for one page, but open up 10 or more tabs while looking through mods you might want? Ads that impact performance, security and usability are why adblocker was made in the first place. Now, I know there's a donation to get rid of ads entirely, and to be honest, I'll probably end up contributing to that if I get into modding Fallout 4 enough to spend real time here again. It really doesn't change the fact that the particular advertising service Nexus is working with is exactly the problem with ads these days. I don't know how much this one's paying you compared to less intrusive alternatives, but please consider switching services to one that might have more people, like myself, actually disabling adblocker after seeing one too many sad faces and keeping it off.
