I have played my last 10 matches 1 person down.. I hadnt really noticed this before and its not super common. but having 1 down in this game is HUGE.. I know its hard to fix, because its not a round, round, round game its a living creature that takes 30 minutes.. but any thoughts on a way to make things more even for the team thats down? Like maybe 25% faster juice gain or something?
... It's depressing that people are starting to think the default game length is 30 minutes. It's 15. 30 is server inflated. Also, 1 person advantage isn't that big a deal. 2 starts to be a problem.
An idle kick function would be nice. Or an extra slot or two for spectating. The latter option would help for catching hackers.
i think 30 minutes is a damn good game. i would design a server for marathon games if i knew people who were competent would play in them. 2 hour long game of spunky. until youve played it, you can NOT say your sick of spunky map. hard push stalemate games are what i love most. every once in a while, this game even scratches that urge. just so you know, i once played a 14 hour game of c&c renegade, that actually lasted 20 hours or so. i played the end. we had one guy actually go to bed and come back and join the same game in progress a long time later, i welcomed him back and he swore to God he couldnt believe it was the same game, he thought it was coincidentally the same map on a different game. ... i may make marathon servers one day. ill wait for the pubs to become capable of avoiding a constant pubstomp. xbox is ALMOST there. seems like they at least have a concept of what to do most of the time i play them.
Were you the kind of person that used to play 24/7 2fort servers or something? Or 24/7 servers in general. ...Seriously, even switching between 3 or 4 maps is better than the SAME ******* map ALL ******* day. That said, it's still sad people think 30 is the default.
well heres the way I see it 15 is too slow, considering most pub games end in stalemate (OT) Anyways, and OT always feels like a hollow victory to me, I mean it comes down to, which team had the most players who were smart enough to save up half a bar of juice before OT hit. So yeah I actually prefer 30, as it gives me an opportunity to squeeze out a real victory.
