FreddyYESThis should however have a way for server admins to opt-out.

bones_was_hereYESSome of these are quite polished, players seem to enjoy them, and variety is nice. Some old maps include them and it's weird if they don't spawn.
carnag3YESTo respect the mapper's decision on the weapons choices he made but with the option that the server admin can opt out in case those weapons result in unbalanced gameplay depending on the game mode
CloudwalkNONE
divVerentYESIn a way this means g_new_toys almost wants to be made default (or a weaker form of it), and maybe there should be a g_core_weapons mutator that remaps all to core instead.
DodgerNONE
Dr. JaskaYESWhen explicitly placed by the mapper it is indeed preferable to have them then spawn but not otherwise unless configured by the server admin. This avoids mappers needing to figure out that the weapon happens to be specified as a new toy and requires cvar opt-in to spawn.

Spike29YESWe should respect the mapper's decision. This is all the more important as the Arc gun, which is used on a few popular duel maps, is possibly going to be classified as a "new toy".
terencehillYES
turkey_shootYESseems fair that maps should have the weapons mappers put on them
