The Original Newbies Guide to MC-Warfare

Are you new to MC-Warfare? Do you need help? Well, you have come to the right place! In this guide I will show you everything you need to know about MC-Warfare.

MC-Warfare is a server coded and owned by orange451. What this server is is basically "Call of Duty in Minecraft".
To join the server, simply use this IP: mc-war.com, or you can use the sub-IPs of the main IP is down (ex. 5.mc-war.com)

Please keep in mind that this guide was created before the short "How-To" guide was added in game and that this guide covers far more information than that of the one in game.

I. Spawn
When you spawn you will come into the lobby. Normally, it will take 70 seconds for a match to begin (your experience bar ticking down shows how many seconds until the match begins, if not in progress). If you join late it could be less, or already in progress. But don't worry, matches are always less than 5 minutes, so if one is already in progress, be patient and wait or leave the current lobby and join a new one.

Spawn built by yours truly with help from chickenputty, Mr_OwEsOmEnEsS, eol123, rockerboy302, CraftyLumberjack, and future5.

II. Stats
A common question is, "How do I check my level?". You can check most of your stats at the middle-right of the screen under where it says "Scoreboard". You can also see more hidden stats, such as your KDR (kill-death-ratio; Kills divided by Deaths) and your current experience out of how much you need to the next level, by pressing tab.

III. Gamemodes
After waiting that 70 seconds or so, you will be teleported to a match and put into a random team (if teams do apply). Press respawn to start participating in the war. Matches can be anywhere from 2.5 minutes long to 5 minutes. Now here are the types of matches (gamemodes).
A) TDM (Team Deathmatch)
This is a gamemode where 2 teams of 35 players or less will battle it off on a random map. The objective is to have your team have the most kills at the end of the match. The winners receive a couple hundred xp as well as a fair amount of credits.
B ) CTF (Capture The Flag)
In this gamemode, kills and deaths do not determine whether your team wins or not. What does determine success here is capturing your opponents flag. Normally your opponents flag will be on the opposite side of your flag. Be aware that flags are often heavily guarded, as they are nearby the enemy spawn. So you have a choice here: Guard your team's flag, or rush to pick up the enemy flag. To score you will not only need to pick up the enemy flag, but you will need to return it to your flag too.
C) Infection
In infection, one player is randomly chosen to start out as the "root infect". Root infects will earn 100xp for every person they infect, compared to the regular "infected" that earn 25xp for every person they infect. Your goal as the infected is to infect each and every single player. Remember, it only takes one punch to infect somone. Now if you are a "survivor", or on the blue team, your goal is to survive. I suggest to find a barely noticeable hiding spot or to camp with other players.
D) Free-for-all (ffa)
Honestly, I hate free-for-all. Why? Servers have the cap of 70 players, and in free-for-alls, that would put you up against 1v69 (everyone versus everyone). To win free for all, you need to reach 20 kills before anyone else can, or you need to have the most kills before the end of the match.
E) One in theChamber (one-in)
One in chamber is a gamemode where it only takes one hit to kill someone. When playing, you may notice you only have an iron sword, your secondary weapon (pistol), and one bullet. In one-ins you are only given 3 lives, so 3 strikes, you're out. The objective is to be the last man standing, or have the most kills before the match ends.
F) Gungame
You may have played gungames before in CoD. Well, it is exactly the same here. You kill other players to rank up to the next gun. The objective is to reach 31 kills before anyone else does, or have the most amount of kills before the match ends.

IV. Your Hotbar
During the match, you should see a selection of items in your hotbar. In the first slot, there will always be an iron sword. In the second slot, there will be your primary gun (automatics, shotguns, sniper rifles). In the third slot, there will be your secondary (pistol). Your eighth slot shows the amount of ammo you have for your primary (your ammo would be flint if you were using an automatic, seeds for shotgun, or clay for sniper rifles). The ninth slot shows your ammo for your pistol (which are enderpearls). Now don't try tossing your enderpearls around like people I have seen do so. Also, don't use your iron sword, it's usually not very effective.

V. How to Work a Gun
Now you're starting to understand the mechanics of the game. But you start a match with a hoe and a shovel? What the hell is this?! Well, that hoe and shovel, are your guns. These items are retextured if you use the texture pack, which can be downloaded here: http://texture.mc-war.com/. To use these weapons, you right click to shoot, and left click to aim. I suggest aiming first, as weapons normally have poor accuracy if you don't. If you're low on ammo, you can press the "Q" key to reload.

VI. The Gun Shop: Buying and Equipping Guns
So you're starting to rack in some xp and credits, but what can you use these for? Using the eye of ender, you can access the gun shop by clicking on the anvil. Buying guns require 2 things: you must be a certain level to buy better guns, and you must have a certain amount of credits to buy the gun you want. If you have met both of those requirements, you can buy your designated gun by click on it. To equip guns, access the gun menu and click on the chest. This is your class loadout. Next to the map that says "CLASS 1" is your primary. Click on that to switch to a different primary. Next to the primary is your secondary (pistol). Click on that to switch to a diferent pistol. At the moment, you can only have one class, but more will be implemented in the future. You can also manage lethals, tactials, and perks in the class loadout.
You can find more information on guns behind where you spawn.

VII. Ranks
Your xp bar in the chat will show how much experience is needed to level up. Once you reach level 31 and above (31+) you will have a yellow tag before your name. Other tag colors other than yellow signify if the person is a donator to the server (green and blue tags), or if they are a staff member (pink, purple, and orange tags).

VIII. Clans
There is nothing significant about clans, except that they change the tag in front of your name and when in the same clan as another online person, you will always be on the same team in tdm, ctf, and generally in infect. To create a clan, you will need to be above level 30 (31+), and you will need to have 1000 spare credits. Clan names can only consist of 4 letters, so choose wisely. To join a clan, a clan owner will have to invite you, and there will usually be no requirements unless the clan owner requires something like a 2.0 kdr, or level 20+.

IX. Tips and Tricks
So you are now getting the hang of the server, but you would still like to continue to get better. Here are some tips and tricks.
A) Gun Tips
Shotgun- Only good at close range (1-10 blocks)
Automatics- Good at both close and long ranges
Snipers- Best at long range unless you're an MLG quickshotter/no scoper
SMGs- Outranks the shotgun in close range combat
B ) Reloading Tricks
So you are stuck reloading your rapid fire automatic during an infection match. You see 2 infected rushing towards you as you reload. What do I do?! Switch to your pistol. No harm done, and you can usually rake in at least one kill before you're done realoding your primary.
C) Camping
Yes, I know a lot of people get annoyed from stupid campers. But this is possibly one of the best ways to rake in kills, and possible kill-STREAKS. Sometimes, when you are camping (it is suggested to sneak when you camp so others can't see you're nametag), others will not suspect you, because they are focused on rushing forward to the enemy base. This is where you come in. You are in the corner of a building by the enemy base. They walk through the doorway and dash forward, without any suspicion of your presence. You pull out your sniper and BAM! Quickscope to their back, they die in oneshot, out of nowhere, and you rake in yet another kill.
D) Kill Streaks
Killing people without dying will earn you killstreaks.
1. 5 Killstreak earns you extra ammo.
2. 15 Killstreak earns you an EMP, which blinds the opposing team.
3. 21 Killstreak earns you a tactical nuke, which kills practically everyone on the opposing team, earning you around 30-40, maybe up to 50 total kills.

X. Donations

XI. Extras
Even after the mechanics to the server, there is still much to explore. At /spawn, if you go backwards, you can find all the unique guns possible for purchase. If you go right, you can see all the equipment you can earn by donating to the server (you can also test donor weapons to the right). If you go forwards or left (and up the stairs) instead, you can explore around spawn to the fullest. There are also two parkour courses, waiting to be conquered. Here are some challenges I leave you:
1. Beat the Parkours
2. Beat the Maze
3. Locate the secret lounges
4. Get to level 31+

If you have any suggestions and/or critisism, please share it in the comments!
