FYI : YES the facebookpage on https://www.facebook.com/ContractWarsStacks/ IS the facebook version of this blog.
Hello contractors.
I have crawled from my coffin for another rare post and eventho i don't really have the time to post this, it is something you guys deserve to see. Especially since the banlist which was promised by the devs has not been released yet.
For some time now me and some mods have tried to gather all remaining active contract wars moderators in one place and for the major part this was succesful. This means that we are a little more organised and have access to the proof of multiple moderators so we can check for the possibility of false bans and give info to those who ask about their bans.
The good thing about that is that the number of false bans is extremely small. Even better is the fact that with all the info we collect, we can do some statistics.
The statistics led to this post, but there is one huge downside to it. We moderators are bound to some very narrow guidelines and have to respect privacy 100%. We also cannot freely share any information we want. Secrecy is an issue. Therefor i had to take the data we have and visualise it in numbers that do offer a representative list but give no actual information.
Note : You can ask me, torture me, threaten me, whatever but i will not give more info then what is in the images below. No names, no numbers. Take it or leave it.
Note 2 : Many more people from many more clans have been banned but i had to draw a baseline somewhere and the stats suggested all of these names are worthy of highlighting!
Note 3 : You do not agree with the contents of this post. Fine, don't.
So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, i present to you the :
CONTRACT WARS HACK AWARDS 2017
The Contract Wars hack awards have 3 categories and are measured from the months januari till may and are purely made from bans that have been done by moderators. Numbers of banned players by anticheat are not available to the moderation team and are not used in these awards.
First category. The clans with the most banned players:
(click for larger image)
This graph shows the amount of banned players from low to high. As you can see ALIII is way on top. And i can assure you that the amount of banned players in ALIII is totally off the scale. Unbelievable. Sure ALIII has a lot of members, but so does ALEPH and aleph does not score anywhere near as high as ALIII.
I believe both ALIII and ALEPH have been punished for the amount of hackers before and ALEPH seems to have succesfully managed to keep the number of hackers under control (congratulations misha!). ALIII did not and as far as i am concerned i can say 4 things:
Devs: ALIII should be either disbanded or severely punished.
ALIII management: You have failed to keep the amount of hackers in your clan under control. My suggestion is to either disband or reduce the amount of members drastically so you can control this travesty.
Players : If you do not want to be associated with hackers .. leave ALIII.
Hackers : Being in ALIII means we autosuspect you, you can be sure that in ALIII you will be monitored very closely. The first ones in a match that i will spectate are the ones bearing the ALIII tag.
Mind you that not only ALIII should do some heavy thinking..rfc and VNPA should be very ashamed as well.
Category 2. Hackerclans on the SCWC scale!
Sure ALIII has something to be very ashamed of, but.... ALIII has a lot of members as well. Can you say ALIII is a hackerclan based on this? No, ALIII is poorly managed and ill-monitored but not a hackerclan.
But orgy?.. what defines a hackerclan then?
In my opinion the amount of hackers per member is a more reliable way to determine if a clan is a hackerclan. For this i have invented the SCWC scale... which means "Shameful Contract Wars Clan"
The higher the SWSC the more you can say hackerclan
The results are :
( click for larger image )
This list shows that clan HOOYO's SCWC index is off the scale. Hooyo is a very small clan, but with a lot of banned members, This means that HOOYO is a 100% hackerclan which should be terminated and banned on sight. When you see a HOOYO, fire up your recorders asap.
Dear Devs : Please stop these pests from reproducing and finish this clan!
Second in rank is rfc, which is second in the first category as well. The number rfc members are much higher then HOOYO, yet a huge number is banned. I can say for sure that rfc is a shameless hackerclan!
Notable : ALEPH is on the bottom of the list, this shows that they took their punishment to heart and found a way to succesfully deal with their bad reputation. Again : Great work ALEPH!
ALIII - you should take a very good look at your SCWC rank and then to ALEPH's rank.. it CAN be done.. if you cannot do it, then decrease your memberamount untill you can!
Also, I find it very dissapointing to see DACII in the top 5...
CATEGORY 3 : Jury's choice awards (the top3)
1: rfc, i have not yet seen a clean rfc and since they are at rank 2 of category 1 AND 2, rfc is the winner of the Hackerfilth 2017 award!
2: ALIII - stop rekting the last shred of reputation you have left and either quit or deal with the amount of ALIII hackers!
3: Loors - A clan of which even the clanleader is banned and their rulebreaking goes beyond hacking. (i managed to ban 3 loors at once for farming but they also use shameless tactics like altplanting in the opposite team to rat out enemy locations.) I am sure that with a little more effort more Loors members will be caught as i am convinced more of them use hacks!
Edit : Something worth noting is clan UNIQUE. They are in the center of both lists and their mention is well earned. However, i have been added (even before i thought of making this post!) to their facebook group so i am able to check how they deal with hackers and/or illegal activity and how they try to keep them out of their clan. Sure clan UNIQUE has some well deserved bans, but they also are transparant and at least try to keep them out and have sought cooperation with the moderating team!
Now, you may not see actual playernames or numbers but i guarantee you that the list is correct and also i do hope that people will now understand that the CW moderation team does not favor ANY clan. If it hacks, it is on the list!
Perhaps i will do this list again in a while because there will be some newcomers on it but for now i am busy catching hackers.
Orgy out!
"We will continue to support the project as long as it will be possible and appropriate in terms of audience interest and technical capabilities"
Is the official plan Absolutsoft has with CW.
This week Firefox will end NPAPI support and if we will not continue to play in alternate browsers then it's : GAME OVER, people will leave, income will dry out and "Technical capabilities" killed "Audience interest" and therefor the game! Would you like that?
No? Me neither so : install one of these browsers and tell all your friends!
No? Me neither so : install one of these browsers and tell all your friends!
I have explained to you the steps you can take to play Contract Wars in CHROME via GAMELOAD This will allow you to use an external client to play CW. It's good. Try it!
But there are more options :
1: CHROME
If you dont want to use gameload, alternatively you can use this portable version of an older version of chrome to play cw. works 100%
Amigo is rumored to be malware, and eventho i have 0 trouble with it, you may want to get a different browser if you want 100% security!
Comodo runs CW without problem, but Comodo is based on firefox and will most likely cease npapi support very shortly after Firefox.
4: Safari
Safari runs CW, and very well BUT, safari is discontinued and will no longer be updated. It cannot be downloaded from apple.com so you need to find an alternate download link.
5: Maxthon
For now, it runs CW as well and very smooth!
6: Yandex
Wait, what? Yandex does no longer support CW!?!? Yes that is correct, but this PORTABLE version of the last yandex version with npapi support does! No problem. Forget updates, forget everything, just play in Yandex like you have done before!!
7: Sleipnir
Also a portable browser that will run CW. (seems asian)
Comment any more browsers and i will add them to this list!
onemanorgy out!
Firefox=poison - Firefox=hacks - FUCK FIREFOX!
seriously:
FUCK FIREFOX!
Hello my tarkovian friends, it's been a while.
I need your help, you need your help, CW needs your help.
As i said in my previous post, CW is in the autumn of it's life.
Development of unity webplayer has ended already.
Only 2 viable browsers to play CW remain : Firefox and Amigo browser.
Firefox should have ended NPAPI support by the end of 2016 but is overdue so you can expect support to be dropped at any moment.
Amigo browser is under some criticism from antimalware authorities.
Absosultsoft said : "We will continue to support the project as long as it will be possible and appropriate in terms of audience interest and technical capabilities."
But you can imagine that when Firefox no longer runs CW and people refuse to install Amigo the above statement will become a MAJOR issue really fast?
The development of Hired Ops is not a luxury, all devs being missing and working on that project is not devs being lazy but a must. Hired ops must be ready when CW ends!
(this is speculation, i truely hope CW will get a tailormade CW browser and support will merrily go on for years, but the fact that Devs are gone does feed this speculation!)
EDIT : ABSOLUTSOFT DOES NOT WANT TO KILL THEIR GAME IN FAVOR OF HIRED OPS. UNITY AND THE BROWSERS WHO CEASE NPAPI SUPPORT ARE KILLING THE GAME SLOWLY FOR THEM. ABSOLUTSOFT IS NOT TO BLAME FOR THIS. (yes they could be more transparant, yes they could show a lot more loyalty to their community but NO, they have no control over unity webplayer being phased out!
EDIT2 : I should really delete this post, some metally handicapped people deserve having their game removed from them (as well as their right to vote and to appear in public places without caretaker). CW MAY VERY WELL BE AROUND FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
Now,
What if i tell you that we together could extend CW lifespan some more?
Because we can! But this calls for some community action in advertising the method below.
There is a way to play Contract Wars in Chrome! Well, not really "in" chrome but "through" chrome.
this method is called : Gameload
Gameload consists of an external client and a browserextension which both need to be installed.
First visit THIS page on the chrome web store and add the extension to Chrome!
Now visit the GAMELOAD website and download and install Gameload!
When installed you now have an extra icon in chrome :
Now either go to kongregate or Facebook and load Contract Wars. Neither of these games will work now!! What you will have to do is Right click the gameload button and select : "Open this site in gameload"
Click for larger image!
So when you do, the client opens up and will allow you to play (you may need to log in to kongregate or facebook in the client first!)
There you have it: Contract Wars! and if you are not running CW on a calculator, this runs CW very smooth!
another cool feature is the easy access to the unity cache via the client:
Try it, and if you like it : SPREAD THE WORD!
Hey my fellow Tarkovians,
It's me again, your not so faithful servant, onemanorgy.
Yes, it has been a while, no i'm not dead, yes i more or less stopped playing CW.
The reason for this is that i have been promoted to department manager in my company which takes a lot of time and effort.
But, a man's got to have a hobby and therefor i decided to start playing Hired Ops.
And as allways i seen a lot of stuff that made me frown. And it's not by Hired Ops's devs but by the community.
I will adress 3 user concerns.
CW will end because of Hired Ops?
No, the fact that there is currently little to no feedback from the CW dev's is most likely caused by making a deadline in Hired Ops. My guess is that resources (people) have been pulled from CW and temporarily have been added to support the Hired Ops team. My guess is that when Hired Ops gets more stable, people will shift back to CW.
Will CW die? Definately! One day but that day is not now and i hope CW will be here for some time.. Absolutsoft has stated; "We will continue to support the project as long as it will be possible and appropriate in terms of audience interest and technical capabilities."
You should know that the amount of browsers that support unity (NPAPI) is decreasing and even the last "major" browser; Firefox will drop unity support by the end of the year. After that you will have to play cw on some smalltime browsers that may drop support for NPAPI or install an old version of a browser. This is not Absolutsoft's choice, just check this link Unity Webplayer Roadmap.
Hired Ops's anticheat is not working and i seen a video on youtube with "soon hack".
Word from Absolutsoft : "Yes, we are currently busy integrating the anticheat system that was developed from the scratch specifically for Hired Op by an independent expert team."
So, there's a cheat and Absolutsoft failed. right?
WRONG. An independent expert team means Absolutsoft hired a company like Punkbuster or VAC to keep their game clean.
So this company failed, right?
WRONG again :D There is NO such thing as cheat prevention. Not you, not Punkbuster, not VAC, not Absolutsoft's anticheat can prevent hacks. Preventing hacks is impossible. (Even Counterstrike has a hackproblem every now and then!)
Anticheat is reactive. There first has to be a cheat, and then this cheat has to be debugged by the team and then it can be stopped..untill the next cheat arrives..then it all starts again. Absolutsoft hired the independent team so that regardless of how busy they themselves are, there are allways people actively watching the security of the game.
One more thing about cheats in Hired Ops. Don't attempt it! Sure you can go undetected for some time but when the anticheat does catch up and you get banned, you will have one broken game in your steam account. One you will never be able to play again.
No making a new account and continue playing as you did before, no : account closed, game useless, in order to play : Start new steamaccount and repurchase another copy of Hired Ops. Is that worth it to you? I think not.
Hired Ops is only for russians? All support is in russian!
No, in fact, the russian players play the same version as you do, no more VK updates first and we will receive an update later. The game is the same for all.
However, Absolutsoft is a russian company and not all russians speak english very well. So can you really blame them for partially speaking russian in order to get as many feedback they truly understand and use to fix for all?
Give it some time, English reinforcements are underway!!
Thats it for today smexy contractors, i hope to see you soon, but i cannot guarantee much because of a very demanding job..
Do look me up ingame, it's still "onemanorgy"

| Clickyclicky for big piccy! |
Oh dear god
I really hate the word noob, and i rarely use it. Yesterday however, i had a rude awakening and an experience that proved, without a doubt, that i fit this category and i came to the realisation that I'm not only a noob but ;
I'm the biggest noob i know.
First let me assure you;
- I play FPS games since Wolf3d, so i have over 22!!!F-ing years of FPS experience meaning i was playing FPS games when many of you were still liquid!
- Had many clans in Unreal tournament, quake3, Tactical ops, Halflife, Turok, Kingpin, RTCW, RTCW:ET, SOF2, Delta Force (several) and Call of duty 1+2.
- I was able to win certain maps in UT Assault mode without even leaving my spawn.
- I have been messing with any in game setting i could find my hands on. In every game i played. (I'm the reason the Call of duty 1 quick message menu could no longer be customised because i I made a mod called quickmassage that offered a crosshair ;) )
- I have more then 1000 hours experience in CW.
- I have been advising people on how to do stuff.
but then...
I was thinking, why do people do so well with a noveske without aiming down the collimator. Even at range. So i equipped my novvy and tried.. tried and sucked at it.
Then i started comparing ADS/NON ADS/ADS/NON ADS and it seems i fail and fail and fail when not Aiming down the sights. So, i started to take a close look at the differences between the collimator and NO-ADS and guess what?
After more then 1000 hours of playing this game, this so called FPS "veteran" found that the mousesensitivity in collimator mode is lower and thus allowing you to aim more accurately.
Then, i got this neato logitech g600 mouse with adjustable dpi switch and i chose the lowest programmed DPI mode. and guess what?
It took me 1 death and 20 kills without ADS to prokill for the first time.
So what purpose does this post have besides proving i'm just a big old noob and you should never take any advice from me?
The other thing, if you yourself have trouble performing without use of collimators or even noscoping then you may want to try and lower the DPI on your mouse, or lower the mousesensitivity in the game.
I learned 2 valueble lessons today :
1: You are never to old/experienced/skilled or whatever to learn new stuff.
2: Mousesensitivity is so important that reviewing it is probably worthwhile even if you think you are doing okay!
Ogry out,
PS, plz dont inform my buddies in OhMy, bcuz out of shame i will keep this a secret for them. ehh wait... did i say that out loud?

| Now who's a purrdy boy? |
Hey there you smexy contracting pimps of contract wars it's been a while since i did my last review and i have been thinking about making a video, but you wouldn't like my 41y old trailer trash grumpy potty mouth voice so...back to writing :D
For this review, and to exclude the influence of skills and customisation i will compare the gun with it's base stats. That and some hands-on experience. Also, i wanted this gun bad so i have unlocked a good number of levels by spending GP on games instead of food. Theres only 3 meta levels i have to unlock, but since i don't want to eat air for the rest of the month, this will have to do.
It seems as the devs didn't base this gun on it's compact little cousin, the G36C but gave it an entirely different set of stats which happen to be eerily similar to that of the Colt IAR. So, that gives us a base to look at.
First of all, the devs have continued to put us Thermal-Whores into an even smaller corner by making the EXPS-2 accessible only through the WTASK!, your only alternative sadly is the butt-ugly and close-range only option the; Cobra Sight.
Seeing this, i would almost think that Thermalvision's days are numbered or some major Nerf is inbound.
Good thing is, the day i got it, i got überlucky by winning a secret camo from the roulette!
But now :
El reviewos del HK243 es here-os!
Accuracy.
Of the guns, HK243 has the highest accuracy. From a hands on experience, i can tell you that it's accuracy is totally weird because if you use collimators it will feel MUCH less accurate then it's stats suggest...but when using a Spectre 4x (and possibly a nightforce as well) you can snipe pretty successfully on maps like lake.
Recoil.
Hk243 has less recoil then the g36c, as i sorta predicted, but has more recoil then the IAR. With mods, you are going to have a hard time getting this to 1 and this is what IMHO is a little problem with the gun as it also has quite some visual recoil. When using this, you probably want Firestab to make it more accurate but the low recoil of the gun makes firestab a less obvious choice.
Damage.
Of the guns listed, the HK243 has the lowest damage and this sucks. Really sucks because you can really feel it's underpowered. Its not that accurate with collimators, has significant visual recoil and on top of that, Damage that feels worse then it should. These 3 factors combined make will make you spray a lot more then you really want.
Firerate.
The same as the Colt IAR but a lot higher then the g36c which to me is pretty strange. The firerate luckily makes up for some of it's weaknesses.
Mobility.
Lowest mobility of the couple. Depending on what you want to do with it, it can mean 2 things. Mobility is okay when you are primarily using scopes and thus are the campery type. But for the use of collimators and thus rushing, this will be a problem. Especially when trying to task it. (tripples means flanking, flanking means mobility required)
So, equipping the HK243 means, you need to equip a high mobility pistol (ex, glock) to move around. Sadly, when using the HK, you often will wish for a S&W or tasked DEAGLE for sniping.
Reload speed.
Not looking at stats now, but from a hands on experience i can tell, reload speed is "okay" not too long, not to short. Especially considering you have a lot of bullets so you can reload when it's safe.
Now, If you want to increase reload speed, you are going to have a hard time as well, because from what i've seen, if you would like to use the fast reload for slow weapons buff, you will have to unlock EVERY weapon tier, because only the tromix monsterbreak (collimators/rushers) and/or the nightforce (scopes/sniper) are able to pull that off. Good luck grinding it to level 14.
Ammo cap.
As predicted, same as the IAR, and enough for some serious killing sprees.
Penetration.
Lower then the G36c but the same as the IAR. Sadly, this too contributes to the feeling of being underpowered because you can unload an entire clip on a group, without getting tripples in time.
Range.
You can look at it's stats, but i can tell you that when you go sniping with this on lake, range is just dandy.
X-factor :
Aesthetics. If you are a skin-lover then this huge gun will fulfil every need. Because it's bulky, there's a lot of skin it can show. This gun looks sexy as fuck with probably any camo. The HK243 is also BIG, when walking around you will feel like a tank with this huge gun.
Wtask.
80 Tripples. Which is fair but hard considering you lack mobility and damage plus visual recoil and lower accuracy then expected. Mobility makes it hard to flank, the rest makes it hard to harvest your tripples, even when there's a cluster of enemies. My task is at 25%, with not much hours played, so i cant complain but less experienced folks are gonna have a hard time getting it done.
Customised HK243 vs customised IAR (Future, but very educated guess).
Acc= 100 max, so both will be 100 in effect. In the end theres no difference and since the IAR is bloody accurate now, it can only improve.
Recoil: with customisation, the IAR will have 1 Recoil with much less effort. IAR wins
Damage= IAR wins.
Fire rate = same.
Mobility = IAR wins.
Reload speed, IAR wins.
Penetration will be the same.
So therefor, the day IAR will be customised, the IAR will be better in almost every aspect. (unless a Nerf is inbound)
Conclusion.
EDIT: The more i play with the HK243, the more i'm thinking about abandoning it and abandoning it's wtask. The gun is underpowered, lacks accuracy and punch to mow down groups. Also its mobility is a penalty on a penalty on a penalty... When i'm in a stack, it's okay, but for antistacking i need "real" equipment. Don't buy this unless it gets buffed.
It's a cool gun and its a nice alternative to those who haven't tasked their IAR because of it's crappy iron sight BUT i feel it's underpowered in a lot of ways and i'm convinced that when the IAR gets customised, the reason to purchase this gun will be gone as well! There's just too little difference between the guns and in fact, the IAR has better stats.
Also ; perhaps i am overlooking the fact that we are dealing with a tier 3 gun and i expect t6 quality, but if i do, so do the devs because unlocking tiers with GP is HELLA CRAZY expensive. Purchasing a fully customised IAR will cost you close to 40-50€
Is it bad? No, but this goes for a lot of guns as well.
What would i not change about this gun.
Wanting EXPS-2, calls for the need to get the task done. Which is unfortunate BUT makes doing it's wtask a challenging "must". I Need the EXPS-2..I want the EXPS-2, so having to go through the tasking process is a logical challenge. Well played devs, but i hope it's worth it, because if its as bouncy as the cobra, i will abandon this gun because i simply can do more harm with other guns, sr3m for example.
What would i change about this gun?
This gun definitely needs a buff on at least one of these things :
Damage. more damage would make up for the visual recoil and crappy sights.
Visual recoil. Needs to get lowered drastically because you need longer bursts to down someone and accuracy is an issue here.
Mobility. What use is a gun that is slow + lacks the punch to deliver when you are finally in position?
Also i keep telling this, but the devs won't budge. Several Russian guns have the low magnification Nit-A collimator, Other rifles have no low magnification alternative. The HHS sight's tool tip says EXPS-2, but the devs say, it's EXPS-2 with different reticle. So thermal whores once again get a cold shoulder.
Should you buy it?
That's up for you to decide.
If you have trouble doing tripples, got stranded at the g36c and IAR wtask...then NO most definitely do not buy it.
If you have the IAR already... well if you like it, you can purchase this but IAR will be customised too and probably give you a gun with even better stats.
If you rent penetration. Yes (because this gun needs to deliver a bigger punch)
If you like to slap your enemy silly. Yes, this gun keeps spraying and spraying and spraying. You don't wanna be on the business end of this baby.
If you like skins. Definitely buy it.
If you like to troll. Buy it, machine gun-sniping on lake is very fun to do :D
If you need a viable endgame weapon. Rent it first and see if you can handle it.
That's it, i tried my best to do an objective review and went even more techy then before, but if you disagree, please comment and let me know how you feel about this gun.
Orgy out!
So, we will be getting a new LMG, cool right?
A lot of keen player have already figured out that this gun is really a fantasy gun and is a cool but weird way of thinking from the devs.
The HK243 is a civilian version of the G36 of which the Compact variant has all ready made the game. When i say civilian version, it means that it is not a LMG at all but a Semi automatic (sports) version of the G36. Sure, it can be modified to operate in automatic mode but then you won't be having the HK243 anymore but a regular g36 instead.
The HK243 shoots .223 Remington munition which is roughly the same as 5.56 ammo which the g36c uses. Difference is that the 5.56 round builds up more pressure and is supposedly unsafe to use in .223 designed rifles.
Now, Compared to the G36c we could roughly get a feeling about the HK243's stats. (the following is PURELY speculation, no one knows what the HK243 will look like)
Accuracy. A compact model as the G36C will always have a lower accuracy then a full barrel length gun. So if the devs honor realism, the HK243 will be somewhat more accurate then the G36C,
Recoil. Roughly the same ammo type will mean roughly the same recoil. Since this gun is heavier then the g36c, the recoil might be a little smaller. But since it's a LMG, i think for balance, recoil may be a higher.
Damage. "Same" ammo, same damage. Devs could buff this to make the gun stand out, compared to the g36c.
Firerate. Should be the same, but could be a little lower if the devs want to prevent it from looking OP.
Mobility. This is a full lenght barrel gun WITH a beta mag, so it is heavier then the G36C, thus i expect mobility to be lower
Reload speed. A beta mag loads the same as an ordinary mag, so reload speed could be the same, or a little lower if the devs give the additional weight and size a penalty.
Ammo cap. I really don't know how the devs thought process is but i assume it will have the same number of mags as the colt iar (7 when buffed with destroyer ammo)
Penetration. Probably the same, unless the devs know about the 5.56 pressure, in that case, penetration could be a little lower.
Range. Same as penetration.
This is as far as speculations regarding it's stats go.
---
Now, the next speculation : What weapon tier? and will it be CR or GP?
These speculations are based on the current layout and available slots, i doubt the devs will change this.
Tier 6 = full. Both Credit and GP gun slots have been filled in this tier.
Tier 5 has room for 1 GP weapon, all Credit slots are filled!
Tier 4 has room for 1 GP weapon, all Credit slots are filled!
Tier 3 has room for 2 GP weapons, all Credit slots are filled!
Tier 2 has room for both Credit and GP weapons. However, tier 2 has a CR AND a GP LMG, so i strongly doubt this will be a tier 2 gun
Tier 1 has room for 1 Credit weapon and 1 GP weapon. GP weapon slot will most likely be offered to a future ww2-era gun, or the fb/kong Winchester rifle.
Now... Credit enthusiasts, there is only tier 1 in which this weapon can be placed. Be honest here, does this gun look like a T1 gun? I strongly doubt it so it is very safe to assume you are out of luck and the HK243 will be a GP weapon!
What tier?
I expect it to be either a T4 or a T5 GP weapon. Since it is closely related to the G36c, it is very possible to be in the same tier as the g36c. However, the devs could do the same trick as the DTSRS family (t3,4) and the P90 family (t5,6). (This could even mean t3)
Anyway
Real gun or no real gun, i'm quite curious about this gun. I love the IAR and a more powerful version of this already kickass gun is very welcome but I'm not going to hope for anything this time because the mpx was somewhat of disappointment to me and this...this gun needs and deserves to be OP as fuck :D
As you know i regularly help out friends by advertising their works.
Now the comments on his video on the CW facebook page were mixed, so why do i advertise him?
Simple my lad, remember this one guy who liked writing and loves to play cw so much he decided to dedicate a blog to it? that guy was me. I ain't no pro, i just love the game and do what i love to do. And so does Twerkins.
CW videos should be about the love of the game, not a collection of prokills or a "see me owning the shit out of everything". Those videos are nice too, but theres "average joes" like myself everywhere!
Fun, and doing what you love, thats what Twerkins and CWStacks have in common. Dont forget that. Not for a moment.
This time i would like to bring the youtubechannel of Colonel Twerkins to your attention.
Colonel Twerkins was featured on the official CW Page a couple of days ago but i want him to have more subscribers.
A couple of weeks ago, Twerkins joined the Legion of 6six6 and because of him being a great guy and very dedicated to the clan he made officer pretty fast. (you can join us in 6six6 if you like)
You can find his video's :

Yes gentlemen, this is the official CW page on VK... but is it a tempban or is cw permabanhammered?
Now imagine the following *fictional* conversation (tfender=Absolutsoft CEO)
VKSupport : Hello there, how can we be of assistance?
Tfender : O HAI Admin, Today i sit at my computer and i have to go poopy
when i come back from poopy i see message about ban. I never haz used hack? unbannedplz?
VKSupport : That's because your ban is for suspicious competitions.
Tfender : U LIE..I HAZ NEVER COMPETITIONED SUSPICIOUS! UNBANNEDPLZ!
VKSupport : You or someone on your account has posted a suspicous competition, we have evidence for it.
Tfender : SHOW ME THE EVIDENCE. LIES.. UNBANNEDNAOPLZZZ!!!
VKSupport : We have evidence and no we will not show you this evidence.
Tfender : O WAIT... my frend haz posted suspicious competition on my account while i was doing poopy. Here he is, wait plz.
Tfender : O HAI Admin, i am Tfenderfrend, i did competition while i was doing poopy. Not him!! Unbannedhimplz!
VKSupport : You do know that you are responsible for your account and anyone who has access to your account?
Tfender : I has access to your mom :( U go to hell... I will DDOS the shti out of U IF U DONT UNBANNED ME NOW.
VKSupport : Is there anything we can help you with? No? Enjoy your ban and have a nice day.
(believe it or not, but i had conversations extremely similar to the one above with banned people back in the day when i was a cw facebook mod)
Edit : CW is unbanned on VK; jokes over but the memory remains :D Welcome back CW.
clickyclicky4largepiccy
1: Online time isn't the most important stat but nonetheless can it tell a great deal about a player.
For example. A level 60 player with low hours played is most likely a boosted character, nothing wrong with that, but this low number of hours played can result in a low number of kills. If hours played, is accompanied by a low number of kills, but with a High K/D, then there is a very high chance that you are dealing with an ALT of someone who's mains's stats are too low to get into good clans so he restarted. Good clans can smell this from miles and such people are mostly declined in good clans.
Another example. A level 59 Player with a lot of hours played suggests that this character is donating 75% to his clan in order to level as slow as possible. Why does someone want to level slow? to do more contracts before level 60. So, you can safely assume that this person is spending his time in 30-59 rooms only, which can make him look pro, but he will have a very, no extremely hard time when he finally gets to play vs l60+ people only.
2: Wins and Defeats. This is a nice one because having a high number of wins and a low number of defeats, will expose you as a Stacker. Stacks usually win and antistackers may keep up their k/d's but their teams will loose and thus are registered as defeats. Antistackers have more defeats then wins. The larger ratio of wins/defeat is the harder someone stacks.
This however is not rock solid evidence.
In the above picture, you see the wins and defeats of my alt oOZe. oOZe has a win/defeat ratio of 2.3 . In my book, 2.3 does indicate massive stacking , but.... even though I'm not 100% stackerfree, this ratio is honest as i play my favourite map; site on 30-59 rooms and a lot of times i end stacks and they form on me.
3: (this was posted by someone i don't remember on Kong but it is accurate) Another very tricky ratio; longshots to double headshots ratio, what does it say? well simple, the smaller the ratio, the bigger the chance you are dealing with an aimbotter. My ratio is 5377/176=36; a shitty ratio, Known and banned hackers often have ratios of 4,5,6 Why? because the bot allows you to do easy kills and it does not discriminate, bots make double headshots a piece of cake and hackers don't often realise they are exposing themselves through stats alone.
4: Prokills, well this is a very overrated factor as prokills can give a blurred image of your true skill level. Imagine yourself being level 60+ and a decent player. You will have a hard time doing prokills vs level 60+ people. But wait, lets restart a level 1 character..what would happen? Indeedy, one prokill after the other. oOZe here, is able to do several prokills a day. Onemanorgy (my 65 main) however, can do prokills only occasionally and not consistently. oOZe here has more prokills then onemanorgy...so is he more pro? Nope, it's the same player fighting vs lesser opponents.
5: Wtasks/Achievements completed. Finally a stat that tells something positive about someone. The higher number of wtasks/achievements completed means that someone is Putting more effort into the game. Someone with a high number of achievements unlocked is working towards this and forcing himself to use weapons he would perhaps rather not use. Players with high numbers here are IMO the real veterans of CW, those who try to get as much from the game as it has to offer.
6: Knifekills, can indicate someone likes to do knife-only matches, or is doing his knifekills achievement, but it can also mean that the player likes to prank those who are sleeping, camping or too busy looking through their scope. Someone with a high number of knifekills loves to sneak up to campers and stab them to humiliate them instead of shooting them. ( Allways press the walk key when sneaking up to someone...your footsteps will give you away if you don't)
7: Favorite weapon... Does one buy gp? Is someone a true sniper? Does someone like to spam LMG's.
Favorite weapon tells what style someone has and how to deal with him :D
8: Accuracy ; The most important thing IMO. This stat alone is the reason i don't go and shoot my name into walls or run around shooting like some Counterstrike whore. Sure, working on your K/D is nice, but working on your Accuracy is so much more rewarding, as the higher your accuracy is, the more easy it is to kill...and will affect your K/D in return.
To increase your accuracy, you will have to burst, you will have to aim fast and accurate, and when you do, you will notice that it's fairly hard to get over 20% accuracy. 27% in my case is something i am very proud because i never expected this to happen. My main account has a 20% accuracy, but it's hard to change that as this is my first account, with all beginner mistakes included and a whole shitload of kills which makes it extremely hard to influence my current stats. Even my K/D can outlast a lot of low K/D matches.
Accuracy...work on it, allways. Set goals, think about it when you are spamming and let this be your guide.
So, 8 things, out of quite a few more stats. Aren't they important? well, yes, no..maybe but that's personal, i don't value the number of doubles, ragekills stormkills, grenadekills, etc, much But perhaps they are important to you. Sure, teamkills tell how much of a noob or cunt you are in hardcore but still, this stat doesn't matter IMO.
Orgy out.
Next post will be all about the "Alliance of cowardly stackers" again
(this topic is purely my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of any of the clans or groups of people i am involved with unless specifically mentioned and accompanied by a source)
WHAT? YOU SUPPORT STONE YOU RAT????
No not really, IMO STONE should be monitored very closely for irregularities and banned at first sign of illegal activities.
BUT .. ever since xARMx became STONE i have seen 0 of their members who were hacking. Perhaps the ones i encountered fly straight and the rest hacks, i don't know but i did NOT see STONE members hacking. Period.
What i did see, is STONE members who have had amounts of SP that can IMO only be the result of farming, but i have personally reported those to NQSS and he investigated and assured me that the members involved have spend enormous amounts of GP on contract skipping.
The STONE i see nowadays are people who are not afraid to antistack (Edit : sometimes. I Just pounded some stones that were blatantly stacking) and don't run away when they go negative in KD. And for that, they deserve at least a some respect!
But enough of STONE, now allow me to introduce to you an even more fucked up story!
For a while now, i have this list in my head of clans that only stack. But in order to shame them and still feel good about it, i needed a way to collect conclusive evidence that would undeniably and statistically proof my accusations. I really don't want to go about and accuse clans that do have antistackers in them as well.
Well, long story short, the list in my head still exists and i don't have conclusive evidence to justify shaming them, furthermore i have encountered antistackers in the clans i thought were stacker clans. So.. i can give you little to nothing.
Until this shows up:
This is from Elite, clanleader of CCCCC posting a video in which he explains the rules of 5c. Mind you that the following is not directed at Elite alone but by ANY clanleader who is involved in this (or such an) "alliance" and forces their members to do the same. This also applies to the clanleader of SYR, who posted this:
These rules effectively FORCE 5c and SYR members to stack with a number of different clans, clans that have members in them that could wipe you like a noob alone. But no, now they have an "Alliance"
"Alliance"
"A l l i a n c e"
well, you call it an alliance, i call it (pardon my french, but read very closely as i mean every word of it): being cancerous tumors to the CW community! GG in becoming even more poisonous then your very arch enemies; "STONE" (A clan which i have not seen hacking since they left xARMx and now at least have the guts to go vs stacks.)
"Alliance"
A clanleader who kicked ALL of his members because they didn't have the level of skill he desired now forces his members to become mindless noobs and hold hands with other players in order to stomp noobies... What are you going to do when teambalancing measures are introduced to the game? Kick em all again because they turn out to be only decent players when in stacks?
"Alliance"
My god, never have i heard such a sorry excuse for stacking. Stacking? Unfair teams? ...nooooo we are only alliancing. Look at us Alliance the fuck out of these noobs... Excuse me while i alliance.
"Alliance"
It's the biggest and sorriest (that even English?) joke i ever heard in cw. And these clans, if they honor this "Alliance" Have just won the Golden 2015 Stacking trophy. Excuse me sir's but you are pathetic P.O.S's and your alliance has just killed the last bit of balance in the game! GG!
But seriously
If you feel like playing with each other, go on teamspeak, or meet up and then stack... Fighting vs clanmembers is useless because fairness get rewarded by loosing killstreaks and achievements, not playing vs other clans is a true sign of being a pathetic bunch of losers who are afraid to face opposition.
Shame on you ccccc, and if this little agreement is also honoured by the rest, the previous also applies to BIH, SYR, EAGLE, TRTN, STORM, NXUS and allegedly 007. You have succeeded in disappointing me BIG TIME.
If you feel your clan is wrongfully in this list, please do respond but for now i have no reason to assume Elite is posting false information.
Now, to any of you, what do you prefer more, a small minority of players that hack and ruin your day? Or a massive alliance that ruin your day legitly all day long by stacking the fuck out of you?
Personally, i take the occasional hackers. thxplz.
One dissapointed orgy, out!
(ps, do send in your screenshots of this "Alliance" in action)
Update: Whether you just don't like him, or outright hate him, he is abso-fucking-lutely right.
update 2 : it was mentioned STONE and LegCW having an alliance first. I have not seen proof of this but either way. Alliances are wrong. very wrong and the above also applies to this alliance (if confirmed)
update 2:
GOD and OhMy will not join any alliance. How about yours?

Hi contractor.
Sometimes i write and write and write..
And sometimes all it takes is a couple of screenshots to get a smile for the rest of the day.
In the new update, the leupold hybrid sight will be introduced. Check the CW app page on FB or the forums at kong to see more screenshots, i just need 2, 1 really.
And this is how it looks like ingame. Just look at it, LOOK AT IT DAMNIT =)
Look at it and see how it will affect your game. A fully working hybrid sight. this is what i always dreamt of and if my eyes don't fool me, we now got something that is worthy enough to ditch thermalvision,
Thanks Devs... you guyze rawk!! <3

Hi princess!
As you may have noticed, there is currently a massive gun sale with HUGE discounts going on in CW for 1 week. If you are the kind of guy (like me) who buys GP, then by all means buy whatever you like
but
if you are a FREE player, please do yourself a favour and DO NOT BUY A GUN BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP. You will regret it hugely. Buy a gun ONLY when you really support that decision!
(Disclaimer, the following is purely my opinion and people may really be pro with the guns i brand as do-not-buy but i have all guns, and i know which guns i never use and I'm trying to save you from loosing your GP on a gun you will most likely not use, so PROCEED WITH CAUTION )
Guns that are IMO 100% safe to buy are :
- Noveske (but only if you can do prokills to task it)
- Acr-C (Always a good choice)
- SA58 (if you can do stormkills, you get a beast in return)
- ORSIS (if you like to dedicate yourself to sniping)
- SR3M (if you can do a shitload of tripplekills)
- DT SRS MK2 (not the sniper and ONLY when you play hardcore mode. this gun kicks ass in hardcore)
If you already have a good main weapon you can also buy a sidearm. But paleeze.. do realise that main weapons are more important!!
- S&W (best company for noveske / acr-c and sa58 on mid/longrange maps like osm/LH)
- Glock (good sidearm for snipers, tkpd storm snipers, pecheneggers and needed for several contracts so if you buy it cheap, you may just get your GP back from doing those contracts)
- Pernach (lots of bullets 4 legendaries)
GUNS YOU SHOULD NEVER!! BUY (when you have no or low budget) :
- Raging judge (useless after level 60 because of armored enemies)
- Pmm12 cheap but kinda useless, since ironsights are blocked by it's silencer
- TKPD Storm (funny at low levels..useless at higher levels)
- Shpagina (way, way way too inaccurate to be of real use and I've seen only one player (hitnip) truly shine with this weapon in all of my CW days)
- Mosina (great rifle, with super reload feature (no magazine) for HC mode but with an utterly useless scope)
- Golden AKMS (Shiny good but not really a viable endgame weapon)
- HKMP5SD6 (Mp5k amd the mp5sd are just as nice)
- MK14 EBR CQB ( Great gun, but somewhat obsolete since 417D, MDR and sa58 have outclassed it)
- ASVAL Kobra ( Amazing gun, but lacks the ammo to do easy prokills)
- Keltec KSG shotgun (the credit saiga still pwns this cheap but inadequate shotgun)
- G36C (its good but takes many tripples and after you get a "decent" gun, not OP)
- H&K UMP 45, (it's not bad, it's not good, the range makes other guns better)
The guns i didn't mention can be either bad or good depending on your needs/style/maps/etc.. purchase those when you are absolutely sure that it's the gun you need, not because it's cheap!

As you can read earlier in this blog i was quite hyped about the mpx as it is supposed to be a very versatile gun.
First disappointment came when the MPX was delayed, this gun would have been the ideal gun to kick of Weapon customisation but the devs chose to delay it until mid-customisation. To me, this is a missed opportunity but gunz are gunz so i purchased it on 42% discount.
Second disappointment were the stats, and this is not just a minor disappointment, this is a deal breaker for me.
In this review i will also take a look at mps's customisation.
(Disclaimer, these results are based on MY skillbuild. YOU could very well have different values but they would most likely show the same trend)
First Accuracy. Accuracy can be 100 with a proper skillbuild and the proper collimator alone. There's really no need for a tactical device if you can manage to do with 2 points less accuracy. Getting your favourite collimator and tactical device for 100 acc, will result in 3-5 points less mobility.
Recoil. Just toss anything on and you will see you will end up with 1 recoil
Damage. The damage of the Mpx is right in between it's t6 brothers; the x95, P90Devgru and the Noveske with 48 points.
Firerate. The firerate of the Mpx is LOW... which results in a lower dps (dmg x firerate) X95 = 4968 dps / p90 = 4275 / mpx = 4032 / noveske = 4143 (noveskes dps is higher in reality because of it's high reload speed).
The Mpx is a SMG, Smg's are for cqb and IMHO cqb these days is ALL about DPS (unloading as much damage on your opponent in the smallest amount of time) which makes the Mpx a less desirable Cqb weapon.
Mobility. The Mpx has decent mobility, right in between the P90 and the X95 but nowhere near as good as the noveske.
Reload speed. The Mpx has decent reloadspeed, right in between the P90 and the X95 but nowhere near as good as the noveske.
Range. It has a short range fitting to that of a SMG, so it's meant for cqb. However, you can get weapons with overall better stats that can be used for longer ranges as well (acr/noveske). With a range this small, i'd expect other bonuses that would make up for it but there simply are not.
Penetration. The Mpx doesn't score high in the terms of Penetration as well whereas with all armor these days penetration is very important.
When speaking of customisation, forgive me for not spending my time grinding those tiers and wasting birds on a gun i don't like but as it seems customisation of the MPX is all about getting your preferred collimator and silencer while keeping your damage as high as possible, finding a balance between accuracy and mobility and perhaps more important, gaining more range.
Now, the conclusion, and for this, i will compare it to the noveske alone (Acr-c buttrapes the mpx as well) :
accuracy and recoil = noveske
damage < Noveske
dps < Noveske
Firerate > Noveske
Mobility < Noveske
Reloadspeed < Noveske
Range < Noveske
Penetration < Noveske
So, counting the <'s and >, anyone can figure the Noveske beats the MPX 6 to 1. My advice would be : Get a Noveske instead.
The Mpx's customisation is all about getting your favourite attachments on it, as far as i can see with my limited time invested in customisation there is no real benefit to customising it, besides getting your favourite attachments. (Accuracy and recoil are pretty much fixed, not able to go <50 mob for insane reload speed)
Also, the gun does not feel like having an x-factor or hidden "wow" bonuses
The only thing good about the Mpx is it's price, for less then 250gp you can have this one (with discount)
Would you recommend it? Nope, i wouldn't. The Mpx is not a bad weapon, it's fun to use and a good player will still prokill you to death with it but in all honesty, so does the bizon, so is the hk416c. The very first round i played with it, i managed to go 17-1 (on station, even) So it does not suck
but
This gun isn't much of an upgrade and as such, makes little sense to have. Statwise, this gun does imo not belong in tier 6 but in tier 3/4 instead, so leveling players could benefit from it!
Sorry devs, unless the mpx is buffed more, i think it's a missed opportunity.
First disappointment came when the MPX was delayed, this gun would have been the ideal gun to kick of Weapon customisation but the devs chose to delay it until mid-customisation. To me, this is a missed opportunity but gunz are gunz so i purchased it on 42% discount.
Second disappointment were the stats, and this is not just a minor disappointment, this is a deal breaker for me.
In this review i will also take a look at mps's customisation.
(Disclaimer, these results are based on MY skillbuild. YOU could very well have different values but they would most likely show the same trend)
First Accuracy. Accuracy can be 100 with a proper skillbuild and the proper collimator alone. There's really no need for a tactical device if you can manage to do with 2 points less accuracy. Getting your favourite collimator and tactical device for 100 acc, will result in 3-5 points less mobility.
Recoil. Just toss anything on and you will see you will end up with 1 recoil
Damage. The damage of the Mpx is right in between it's t6 brothers; the x95, P90Devgru and the Noveske with 48 points.
Firerate. The firerate of the Mpx is LOW... which results in a lower dps (dmg x firerate) X95 = 4968 dps / p90 = 4275 / mpx = 4032 / noveske = 4143 (noveskes dps is higher in reality because of it's high reload speed).
The Mpx is a SMG, Smg's are for cqb and IMHO cqb these days is ALL about DPS (unloading as much damage on your opponent in the smallest amount of time) which makes the Mpx a less desirable Cqb weapon.
Mobility. The Mpx has decent mobility, right in between the P90 and the X95 but nowhere near as good as the noveske.
Reload speed. The Mpx has decent reloadspeed, right in between the P90 and the X95 but nowhere near as good as the noveske.
Range. It has a short range fitting to that of a SMG, so it's meant for cqb. However, you can get weapons with overall better stats that can be used for longer ranges as well (acr/noveske). With a range this small, i'd expect other bonuses that would make up for it but there simply are not.
Penetration. The Mpx doesn't score high in the terms of Penetration as well whereas with all armor these days penetration is very important.
When speaking of customisation, forgive me for not spending my time grinding those tiers and wasting birds on a gun i don't like but as it seems customisation of the MPX is all about getting your preferred collimator and silencer while keeping your damage as high as possible, finding a balance between accuracy and mobility and perhaps more important, gaining more range.
Now, the conclusion, and for this, i will compare it to the noveske alone (Acr-c buttrapes the mpx as well) :
accuracy and recoil = noveske
damage < Noveske
dps < Noveske
Firerate > Noveske
Mobility < Noveske
Reloadspeed < Noveske
Range < Noveske
Penetration < Noveske
So, counting the <'s and >, anyone can figure the Noveske beats the MPX 6 to 1. My advice would be : Get a Noveske instead.
The Mpx's customisation is all about getting your favourite attachments on it, as far as i can see with my limited time invested in customisation there is no real benefit to customising it, besides getting your favourite attachments. (Accuracy and recoil are pretty much fixed, not able to go <50 mob for insane reload speed)
Also, the gun does not feel like having an x-factor or hidden "wow" bonuses
The only thing good about the Mpx is it's price, for less then 250gp you can have this one (with discount)
Would you recommend it? Nope, i wouldn't. The Mpx is not a bad weapon, it's fun to use and a good player will still prokill you to death with it but in all honesty, so does the bizon, so is the hk416c. The very first round i played with it, i managed to go 17-1 (on station, even) So it does not suck

I have posted this cartoon in the Contract Wars (players) group last week but do you understand what i tried to address in this little work of art?
Nothing, and i mean NOTHING is more annoying then breaking away from a clueless losing team who digs in the second they spawn. When finally you break from that team you will leave a trail of spawnees in your wake as you pass spawnpoints. You can tell who's a noob or not when people spawn in your trail. The true noob is so eager to get shot again that he keeps mashing his mouse button, resulting in firing the second they spawn...and thus giving away your position to the enemy. "gee thanks mista for allowing me to spawn in a safe location, let me thank you by placing my fist up your anus!"
Ever since i made the decision to end my blog i got ideas to write about, stuff I'd like to share but i did not want to reopen onemanorgy's blog. As you may know i started to feel about the blog as if it was stroking my own dick. I don't want to be that kind of attention whore, but i loved writing, even if it's for a community that sucks horse cock. One of my regular visitors asked me "do you think I'm a cunt too?" How about writing for those who do care and are not douche bags? So i thought long and hard about reopening the blog and i eventually i decided to give it a go, but combine it with the idea of renaming it into Stacks and allowing others who like to share their experiences as well.
here's a little Q & A regarding this blog.
Q: Why Stacks? Everybody hates stacks!
A: I still think the CW community for the most part sucks, Politics and interclan cockfights are more important then gameplay so Stacks is my "punishment" to the community. The majority of players is a bunch of no good stackers and as long as teambalance isn't enforced, stacks is the curse bestowed upon you.
Q: Why not facebook?
A: 2 reasons, 1 Facebook is cool if you have an account but many people on kong refuse to have a Facebook page, Stacks should not call for the need to have a Facebook account, so neutral grounds ftw 2, facebook has limited love for long written texts, I'm not a professional writer but while experimenting with facebook i came across downsides and more downsides whereas Blogger has everything an editor needs.
Q: Can i join as an editor?
A: Well yes you can and in fact, this move is partially aimed at that purpose. Silently I'm hoping pro players and experienced players and well known figures who got stuff to share will join in on the writing. This is no longer a personal-only blog. (Stacks is not a showcase for your prokills etc)
Q: Why the same layout?
A: Frankly, I'm not very experienced with blogger templates and i couldn't even remember how i fixed this one so i lack the skill to add and configure a really fancy one. This will have to do.
