i implemented this in the source league when it was first released, not many people liked it.
It still wasnt good enough for the 1.3 kids, and it made the source kids worse, so both sides hated it.
The source 'kids' didn't get worst but it actually made the game unbalanced.
The garand didn't work as a 1 shot kill to the chest/head because it became too OP in source (it stayed a 2 hit kill), and the bar wasn't overpowered enough to compensate for the kar considering the STG. Not only that but the carbine was made into its own class but also became too 'OP' because certain ppl actually knew how to click.
People were also exploiting. For example one thing they did was using custom ctx files and bypassing the server side ctx leading to guns having no recoil. There was also some server side exploits from what I heard.
It was just too much of a pain with exploits, lack of balance, and a hassle to teach tards how to install.
tl;dr - I personally liked the changes because it made the game feel fresh. Dods may be shitty but atleast it's balanced (learn 2 garand). Lastly, the promod can't fix the regless hitboxes of dods.
