ET 8 sec spawn server - some ideas?
Posted: 07 Sep 2016, 16:25
Hello there ETC,
I've been playing on your server (8 SEC RESPAWN TIME) recently AND a few things struck me while playing.
I know it is a fun server but friendly fire off makes the game impossible to enjoy. Masses of people shooting and running. That's it. No skill required. The game is out since... forever and only hardcore players stayed with it. It would be a little more challenging to change FF back on, so teams would have to work together to complete the objective, not just loners running aimlessly. Field Ops of a defending team just put arty every few second on a spot and the game is done, or the Soldiers with the panzerfausts or flamethrowers jumping and flaming around the gold. It really annoys and spoils the game.
With the friendly fire on people will have to at least aim where they shoot and when they shoot. Since it is supposed to be a cooperative game, the play is supposed to be a teamwork. What is more, I have found that the energy bar is probably impossible to deplete. Medics can run the whole game using adrenaline - one after another and in the mean time heal yourself. Same goes with the Field Ops. One arty after arty, airstrike after airstrike. One big maps it is O.K, but while playing e.g. Gold Rush or Supply Depot, on which calling artillery is vital for defense, it kills the game I do not know, what you were supposed to create with those settings, but I can tell there are no noobs on this server. Everyone aims good etc.
Maybe by changing the settings a little bit, the game would become even more enjoyable.
I will not be talking about the maps, as I found most of them just stupid and low quality, but how about changing the randomly picked maps to a map vote? It would sort out unwanted one very efficiently.
Anyway, the post is not about criticizing anything. Just some plain ideas.
Please write what you all think about.
