Lamers and Map rotation

[Mut]

how much do you think this mod is affected at the mo?

Germans sprinting down the beach on omaha, lobbing 4 grenades in and knifing those who spawn. I seriosly doubt germans rushed off them cliffs quite so readily in real life.

Perhaps the respawn time should be longer to make it non desirable.

A sniper limit is also desirable, although fun to be, it can really affect the flow of a game if it becomes a respawn shootout.

Friendly fire, needs to be back on imo, but with good admin policing. My own team keeps shooting me in the back and slowing me down as it is and I hope that if they figured theyre gonna be tking if they did this theyd soon stop and make it less dm or grenade spam.

Remove maps from the map cycle.
As it is there are some maps which are absolute tripe

dod_bliss - cap 3 flags and the bloody thing rotates onto the next map - waste of everyones time.
dod_damLarge sprawling ugly looking poo. Not particularily buggy, just awful.

the rest are ok or excellent.(caen)


um

ramble over

oooh while Im at it.

Mounted guns, ie machine gun turrets on maps like tstation and vn61. For me as soon as someone starts firing the damn thing near me, i totally lose framerate down to 1 every few seconds ( and Ive not got a crap pc, 1ghz K7 and Geforce2 )and I lose sound in that time also. Its a real bitch and the guns not very good anyway. However if your on a fast connection it seems to not affect you, when i tried it on a lan it was fine except for no sound again.

Is there anyway to turn this off .....i doubt it but :|

i think it's so ****ing annoying when someone camps at the respawn point and keeps killing you.
but i think FF should be left off for the moment so it won't spoil your enjoyment of the mod because some dickweed keeps tk'ing and then turn it back on when the admins are sorted



but thats only my opinion :P :wail:

I'm sure I read on the DoD webby that there was a problem with the spawning so the best thing to do was to reduce it to 3 seconds

[Intron]

yeahh some of the maps just suck take that vilage one for instance its crap hate that one.

but the FF should be on cos haveing some person in the Spawn with a hmg shotting you in the head and you end up walking like a snail i had a sniper takeing great pleasure in shotting his own side last night slowing us all down.


but yeah 2 more servers and a few admins on and try out haveing FF back on

[Dent]

Germans running down the beach and jumping in the water ruins a good game, I cant figure why ppl do it as it cant be much fun.

Sniper limit should be two at most.

FF should be put back on once ppl get used to the mod and the uniforms.

If dod_bliss is bugged like you say it is then bin it, I say leave dod_dam, its a bit poo but its another map to play and variety is the spice of life.

if we had the ability to get into the server (i still havnt been on it yet) we might turn ff back on but wee cant :(

il have a word about classlimits...........

My bro is makin a TFC level atm, with a beach assault in it. Now to stop the respawn campers that might come down onto the beach hes put in an airstrike which only attacks the defending team, thus stopping respawn campers quite well.

At first I thought that we should have FF on to make it more real etc...

BUT... when I played with FF off it was miles better because theres less lamers TKing and TWing you etc....

and the only thing about class limits is that the people with the better connections get into the game when a new map is loaded so would get to pick the most used classes e.g. sniper and would most likely stick to this class for the whole map, meaning other people wouldn't get the chance to be the class they want....

very good idea :).... bit like the turrets in TFC and FLF

I'm sure all these bugs will be sorted out in the next beta and if not in the beta's afterwards

Well we definately need dod_bliss taken off the map rotation, its pointless. Im sure it might not be so bad if it didnt rotate after you cap, but currently all that happens is you spawn light infantry, dash off and cap two flags that are very close to the Axis spawn, then leg it to another flag which is so open its silly.

Then map rotates off to the next map.

this is every server Ive played it on btw.
