Please excuse any spelling and/or grammatical errors in this post that I do not catch...
I will revise it when I am less dead and more awake.
Ok so I tried out beta 3 on DM-1on1-Ilarnek_2k4 with a Skilled bot with skill-adjust enabled.
Ilarnek is a map that has the lightning gun, the rocket launcher, the flak cannon, the bio-rifle, and the shock rifle. It has four or five health vials and one or two grenade pick-ups. There are no adrenaline pills on the map that I am aware of.
Initially, I tried out Ilarnek with just the first weapons preset and Armor Mode C. It played pretty good, but I was running lower on health than usual it seemed.
So then I added Quad Damage just to see how bad it could get, and it was nasty :p To be honest, I think your weapon tweaks and Double Damage are more than enough to dish out the pain. Quad Damage just seems like overkill.
Taking that off, I decided to try Preset 1 with Armor Mode C and 100/200 armor. While the armor pick-ups in Ilarnek are somewhat troublesome to get, the 100 one helped out greatly where as the 200 armor felt like a tad too much armor. I think that either kicking the 200 armor down a notch would work or perhaps making adrenaline more prevalent to counteract the armor? (I was thinking along the lines of the regular health packs giving 5 adrenaline, then again I am a bit biased as Ilarnek only has 4 or 5 health vials.)
I didn't try it out with +35 health packs enabled, but I think the armor does a much better job at fulfilling that need than the +35 health packs would. I won't really know until I try though of course.
Some other comments...
I love the primary fire on the rocket launcher. The problem is that I love it a little too much. Secondary fire is dwarfed by how effective primary fire is at killing the opponent.
Lightning gun seems good as does the flak cannon and the assault rifle.
This is a minor gripe, but is there any way you could allow for the classic UT2003 models to replace the link gun, shock rifle, and assault rifle models? The link gun and the assault rifles are both the old models for me, but the shock rifle isn't. I'm not sure if that's because I have the option enabled or if you chose to use those models yourself.
I'll try out your heavy weapons and your new weapons some other time, but there's my report for now
