Hey yo. I know Im a noob on this server and all, so you can take these with a grain of salt if you wish. I just had some ideas that might be nice to tweak with sometime. I dont wanna come across as bitching, because I really do enjoy the server the way it is now and if these are crapped on, thats okay.. but anyway here we go...
#1- Turn the game speed down just ever-so-slightly. It kinda makes adren.. not useless, but with extremely short spawntimes, and everyone moving at adren-like speed all the time.. it lessens the impact adren has. Maybe that's by design, I dont know. But with some maps having spawn times as short as 5-10 seconds, a very slight downgrade in overall game speed might bring a new deminsion to the server.
#2- Turn on stopwatch mode for maybe one or two maps. tc_base and supplydepot2 (spawnfix) are really good maps for this type of thing. The maps themselves arent very long, its good close combat, and it gives some incentive for teams to work together instead of attempting to win it all by themselves. Plus.. if it so happens that one team does dominate and win real quick.. the other team then at least has a chance to still play and try and beat that time.
#3- Teamspeak. I asked around on the server and noone seemed to know if there was a TS channel for the server, but the generaol consensus is no. I dont know exactly what you need to setup a TS channel and such, but if there isnt one already and noone in charge knows how to do it.. I can ask one of my clanmates to try and help set something up here. TS is pretty useful. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the soundpacks. But, with them going all the time, it can get a little hard to communicate with your team when the text bounces off the screen right away.. and its no secret not everyone is a lightning fast reader and ya damn well know people arent pulling down the console and scrolling through text to read what their teammate said 15 seconds before 30 vsound lines are pumped in. TS is a good way to communicate, bitch and moan and work some game stratgey.
#4- the line where Ahnold goes "i hope you leave enough room for my fist, because Im gonna ram it into your stomach"... where's the rest of it where he says "and break your goddamn SPINE!!!"
Okay, so that last one im just being a tard, but still.. that IS a cool line.
