Rocket Boosting (was: Making A Stand! - For 2.4)

[tZork]

granted i havent played as mutch as i used to after the release of 2.4, however the matches i did play on the maps previosly plauged by "rocket fly or camp" did show alot better gameplay imo. capturecity is acctualy fun to play again, for example.

If I want to waste 2 hours, I'll play an mmorpg. Capture City is one of the slowest maps to play on publics.

I think it should be determined by a mapper. If the mapper thinks his map will be ruined by RL jumping, then he can turn it off in a config.

Guess what? thers a timelimit to maps. you can still capture fast enougth unless all your team is pinponging arround trying to grab flags at any cost insted of keeping your base from beeing swarmed. I guess if you always play for the win and never for the game this change is less desirable.

Interesting idea, but it needs a resonable default since not every mapper will set it.

Valid point but certainly not the best solution. Better information about your teammates would (in theory) raise awareness of team tactics amongst players, resulting in stronger team cohesion and what I would consider to be a better overall experience.

Even if the flag can be capped in 5.65 seconds using just the laser, your fc's efforts are void if the enemy can grab your flag in that time. Cue "Hide and Seek" style capture the flag.

I like both simultainiously. I like to enjoy the game while my team wins.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I did 4.45 later

But that's sort of.... Impossible to do on a pub server. It fails most of the time, if you're shot once, by anything (even a MG) you're done with your run. And I'm not going at incredible speeds, I'm still easily killable.


About the "hide and seek" part, the players are to blame. If they don't move from one place, they indeed ruin the game. I prefer when they show themselves sometimes.
I don't want to be "too good" (technically I can't be), I sometimes make voluntary mistakes to give the enemy a chance, especially when the scores and the teams aren't balanced.
It will indeed be a slower game.

I like slow games from time to time. Leaves more place for some well-thought strategy, if good players are present. Don't tell me that only RPG's need strategy.

I like fast paced well thought out strategy

Hehe, that works too.

Heh, now I know why I like redstarrepublicc. It has that infiltration feeling, you know. Not making any noise, then kill the defenders in the back. KABOOM

Err...

[torus]

Yep- I love getting less than 5 frames per second.
