Recently Ive been coming on the the servers late night (CST) when no one was around and found myself playing on a different server just to keep my pain in the ass skills at some what of high level (to no avail, see tdm saturaday results vs noddy) One thing i noticed on the server I was playing was no so much their rotation of maps, but the rotation of games... CTFB, TDM, HQ, etc etc... Another thing I have noticed was there is never anyone in the tdm server here at xi(at least when im around) everyone usually piles in to the DM or occasionally into the CTF server.... As a way of drawing more attention to a server (TDM) why not rotate game types to mix things up a bit.... Just a thought... and thanks in advance for the consideration...

It seems like every time I play lately I see your ugly mug. I hate to say it, but Mal is correct. If a few players don't like a map, just look one of us up. We can change the map. I can't wait to walk into one of your bullets in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it, but I have noticed 2 or 3 servers that are running a freeze tag mod! Since cod4 freeze tag servers are popular as hell....I'm curious to see what the gameplay is like on cod2.

Saw it on IAF COD2 server... Played pretty good too...(first time ive ever seen it though) Other Observation is that when that DM server gets too many players, ends up with a shit load(er) of spam killing and becomes pointless...

Maybe we could set up server and put it on a test run for a month to see if it gets used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one agree with noddy on this one. I think the TDM sever is a TDM server and should stay a TDM server. Maybe after the TDM tourney is over and Newf gets his ass handed to him, we can use that server to tryout alternating game types on a single server. .

Ive been looking at area51 lately and have been dropping in when players are around, mostly empty tho. Im not much of a regular TDM, CTF guy but will play here and there. I also think school is taking up alot of time for players too, since it just went back in session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMETRACKER KEEPS TABS ON OVER 3,000 DIFFERENT COD2 SERVERS, WITH ONLY ABOUT 1500 GET ANY REAL PLAY. THE DM SERVER IS RANKED #189, THE TDM #504, AREA 51 #980 AND CTF IS #1146 AND THE TOURNEY SERVER IS A ROTATING ONE FROM GAME PLATFORM TO PLATFORM CORRECT. BASED ON THESE NUMBERS AND THE TIME THE CTF IS POPULATED IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO MAKE IT THE ONE WITH A ROTATION OF GAME TYPES IMHO. THE TDM HAS BROUGHT BACK SOME PLAYERS TO COD2 WHILE THE CTF PULLS FROM THE DM SERVER, PLUS IT'S A ADMINS LABOR OF LOVE. JUST THOUGHT SOME BACKSTORY TO WHAT KEEPS US RELIVANT IN THE COD2 COMMUNITY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. OUR MOD ROCKS REGARDLESS OF THE GAME TYPE.

I think its a great idea to change things up. But addressing P-Mans comment on the CTF server, I hear many people wanting to go and play there but the problem is it takes more peeps to get a CTF game going where as on DM it only takes 2 willing to run around and mindlessly kill each other. CTF is a team sport and thus takes more to play then DM so that is why many times nobody is there. Who wants to wait around a unpopulated server and see if 4 or 5 more show up to make it a viable game. It sucks to play 1 on 1 in CTF and defeats the purpose of a team sport. While I don't know the answer to how to keep a CTF server populated I do know that once a group of people join the CTF server many more come on board and seem to have a good time. I hope you keep a CTF server alive or a least one that has a heavy population of CTF maps . On a personal note that is one of the biggest reasons I found this clan in the first place was while searching for a populated CTF server. Understandably we have to keep servers that keep the most interest and the highest populations, but please note : I don't think CTF is void of players because of dislike of the game as much as it is a team game and so needs many more people to get it started.

JMO. I like what dawgy has done with the DM server, it has a boatload of maps and the maps can be changed around without downloading more shit. At least thats what I think he did, right? Servers are like plants, if you cut off a flower its going to take time to grow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just in shock and awe to think, that you had such a profound thought, when most of the time all you say is a single word Bastage LMAO. Good Job Major it would be nice to see a rotation in game play. DM is more of a lone wolf game you depend on no one else and it is fun cause we all get to talk smack with one another. TDM and CTF require more thought and planing and team work. Rusty also makes a good point about downloading files for all those MODS sometimes it makes it hard and when you get a bad IWD file I know some people have trouble finding them and deleting them. Maybe a separate sever with just a couple of maps for each game type might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
