Every time I get on COD4, the Chi server is full and the beta is empty...I thought this was going to replace that but it seems like there isn't ever any traffic there. Just curious why that always happens...thoughts? Flushy google and daz murray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if those are taken out until a fix is available things should be fine. Also most people seem to prefer the older crossbow. I dont remember if the beta currently there fixed the string problem. Working to finish the next one but been getting some unusual problems the last week from time to time related to player death and server-client communications.

Maybe cause it's just a habit... And there are some problems with some maps, but it's normal, as the Chicago one at start. Need just skip the map (with an admin), alert about the map_name, then fix it. The Flush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Ive played other servers that redirect traffic which works incredibly.If server floods over it directs to to another of there similar servers and doesn't just tell you sorry go elsewhere.We really need to set this up to keep the people in our servers .If you agree voice your opinion about it also Ive mentioned it before.

It sucks having 10 people on a server that just give up and go offline after a map crashes. I understand and like the idea of a redirect but personally hate being redirected to anything and will ~/disconnect before it even has a chance to put me anywhere else. The beta is a different game. Seems we will be playing it as the normal soon but it is a lot different than the current version. I like freeze tag and will play it but I do not like it as much as the old version. You must play this mod more carefully i.e. slowly. It is more similar to the original version of FT now. And don't think "you just don't like it because you suck at this mod", I have had great scores on the beta server already. Ultimately I will play whatever is up there - as long as it is freeze tag.
