Morphed has created an Onslaught tutorial

Imo that tutorial needs to be a sticky. Or something. Makes it easier to find the next time I start a map.

Stickified.


edit: Some day we should decide what to un-stickify, there perhaps are way too many stickies right now.

Hardly anyone plays ONS because of very simple reasons:
-) Many don't know of it or haven't tried it (not a fact, but an assumption)
-) There are hardly any ONS servers out there
-) Are there even MAPS for it? I only know of ONS-reborn, and this one, and if there are... where are they?

Hardly anyone plays ONS because of very simple reasons:

The HUD is also lacking. Frags are shown but there is nothing about the generators. When the game ends, it's just... odd.

The generators don't appear to take on damage either. The model looks the same for me then entire time.

There was an Ons server that popped up now and then a couple of weeks ago. Haven't seen it for a while. Was a lot of fun, even though there never were that many players on it.

As for getting more players to the various game-types (not just Ons):

I've suggested this before; Add game-type to the voting process. First let the players vote for the map — as they do now. Then let the players vote for the game type. Which alternatives are available in this last vote would depend on the game types available for that specific map, and the limits set by the server admin. For instance, the admin might only want CTF, Dom, and Ons games on his server. But the players vote for a map that supports KH, CTF, and Ons, and so the only options available for the last vote are CTF and Ons.

The advantage of this is that it becomes easier for players to try out a new game type, and the admins don't have to worry about the players abandoning their server because they don't like the one game type hosted on the server.

Yes, there are Ons maps. At least half a dozen.

If the changes I mentioned above get implemented, I will happily run a ONS server and actively try to get more players to try it out. I plan on running a few new game types in Washington DC with a good ping to both NA and EU.
