Description:
(From the readme) These weapons are intended to provide a new tactic to standard UT3 game play - knocking opponents onto their ass for a quick advantage.

Raggy Enforcer - headshots will knock players down
Raggy Rocket Launcher - all rockets and grenades will knock players down
Raggy Flak Cannon - the flak grenade will knock players down
Raggy Stinger - the stinger shard will knock players down

Comments:
This little pack of weapons are upgraded to knock people down. There is also a mutator that automatically replaced the stock UT3 weapons with their "Raggy" counterpart.

I really like this set of weapons. Knocking someone into rag doll mode is fun, but it makes these few weapons, especially the RL and the Flak over powered. With the RL, if you knock someone down, you can easily kill them with a second rocket while they are trying to get up. I would knock people down with the Flak alt fire, then run up and gib them with primary. Also self damage will knock you down. For example, I would run around a corner with a RL and seeing a bot, I shoot. The blast knocks both the bot and I down, and another bot runs in and kills both of us. After playing for a bit, I think this is a very cool idea, but not balanced. Knocking people down is too easy in Raggy Weapons, and that makes knocking people down too powerful, and being knocked down too irritating.

P/S Pfhoenix, if you read this, you have a copyright in your readme is for DropItAll, not RaggyWeapons.

Verdict:

Presentation: Nice readme, simple installation.
Performance: No bugs, but nowhere near balanced.
Fun: It's fun knocking other people down, but it sucks to get knocked down and gibbed.
Overall (Not an average): 3.5 / 5.0
