Clefairy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 +1 for balloon race. It's not mapcycle material, to be sure, but it's at least on par with pacman for an occasional novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlord Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm an admin now. You're all screwed. Have fun with that. You can have my old job! Well, any limit I had put before was only meant to be temporary, and to prevent achievement whorers & people from whoring one class to the point of hurting the fun of everyone else, such as when the spy & sniper update came out.When I was checking the cfg files, I didn't see any class limit enabled though, or even a ctf_turbine.cfg. I deleted it at the same time I removed ctf_turbine from the map cycle, last night before I went to bed. As for me, I'm tired of dealing with TF2 in general and the OCR server in particular. I may return to the server occasionally, or if the classless update doesn't suck; I have very little hope for it. You can respond to this if you want, but I won't see it, as I'm now unsubscribed from this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capa Langley Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The game has become horridly stale. I can't find myself enjoying the play anymore. That among other reasons such as latency and DUNDUNDUN Source Engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there was some chatter going on outside this thread that I don't know about, I'm pretty sure only Powerlord had a problem with Turbine.

FireSlash Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I don't like turbine when its 5+ engies, but other than that its good fun. turbine with 5+ engies is a free win. Charge a couple ubers and it's a free cap, since half of their team will be busy rebuilding their sentries while you cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trianine Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oh, Baha, I managed to get on later that night, I guess you had retired by then? Thank you though, for taking the time to sort it out. FWIW, I'm happy to miss a play experience here and there just to know we do keep an eye out for troublemakers. And as for the Balloon race map, I've played it only a handful of times. It's a neat idea, but horribly executed, IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing it played once in a while here, but it's spawn setup is confusing, and it's a bitch to catch up to the winning balloon. Also, invisible water snipers. And Powerlord, if you read this, I am sad to see your retreat. I hope you find your time well spent without us.

Charge a couple ubers and it's a free cap, since half of their team will be busy rebuilding their sentries while you cap. If you have a team with some sense they spread out the sentries though. I've seen some rounds just be an endless stream of an uber taking out the first 2 sentries (usually the ones in the hall, up on the platform and maybe one inside the intel), then a quick rebuild before the next uber or two. Now if a retard team puts all 5 in the intel its easy pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensai Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 That was awfully quick... I don't understand why they made Spy's running back to sap exits so worthless. It was something that made a big difference on some maps that really, REALLY could turn the game around. Could someone explain to me the 'auto-reload' thing? I really do not get it unless it's exactly what it sounds like, in which case why would they do that? Also, what's a 'critboost?' Sad to see Civilian Heavy go, but also glad to see that sentries will no longer shoot as cloaked spies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clefairy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 @Sensai: Yeah, but it was also a big timesink. If one guy doesn't take the teleporter, and you bump into him, there goes your entire plan, plus 20 seconds. That's not say it doesn't still have its uses. From what I've seen, players in general haven't caught on to spies being able to use the teleporter. Having that glow around your feet makes people trust you at least three-quarters of the time. And if the engineer is dumb enough to have all his stuff clustered together, hey, score one for you. Also, critboost = Kritz/First Blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 * Capturing the flag in a CTF game mode gives the entire capturing team 10 seconds of critboost * Capturing the flag in a CTF game mode gives the entire capturing team 10 seconds of critboost * Capturing the flag in a CTF game mode gives the entire capturing team 10 seconds of critboost Why even play CTF anymore.
