Artillery & Dogs... That's right, put on your helmet and cover your ass! With this, there is a challenge with freeze tag play so here are the settings I have set to try and not make this change over powering of fun and fair play. Artillery - 5 kill streak - a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; this way in case of a couple of dominant players, it's not raining shells to provide the opposing team the chance to thaw - no announcement to the other team - kills by artillery will not count towards a kill streak - a 10 sec delay at the beginning of the round Dogs - 7 kill streak - a 60sec delay between artillery strikes by the same team; again, to allow better chances of thawing - no announcement to the other team - kills by dogs will not count towards a kill streak - a 10 second delay at the beginning of the round - dogs will remain active for 2min - a total of 6 dogs will be called with max of 3 dogs alive at a given time If you like or dislike, please comment: 1. Does this not work or is a particular map not suited for this change? 2. Are dogs too tough? I can reduce their health if they are. 3. Do we like artillery but not dogs or vice versa? We don't have play with both changes. 4. Any other issues encountered, changes, or just in general. Cheers all and run fast.

I played for a few hrs tonight and there wasn't too many positive likes about the new additions of artillery strikes and dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I love the freezetag part, not the extra additions they added! I'm sure my time on the ftag server will decrease! I always believe that " If it ain't broke why fix it!!"

Is this the consensus? Anyone else experiencing or seeing these issues? Dogs and artillery fucking up everything now. 24 people on last night and they all want the dogs and artillery turned off and I'm saying turn them OFF Please. The Dogs freeze the whole game and cause major Lag. I told everyone to text you and that I would ask you to remove those apps. we had to skip 4 maps last night because only the super big maps would let us play once some one used the dogs. The ones using the dogs were averaging 6 to 10 kills because the team couldn't move to fight back or run away! The worst was the fact we had to skip the best maps due to the LAG !! The second worst was the artillery was too accurate every-time it was used average kills were 8. So with the 80% saying they played on this server mainly because it didn't use dogs and artillery. At one point there were 19 people in spectate when no admin were on line so we could get the game to unfreeze and for 5 min we all were talking and everyone agreed " Remove Dogs and Artillery" or they are going to stop coming back to freeze tag and these were all "<XI> members !

I know when I was on the other night there was 30 people playing only one small complaint. I guess if most people don't want it then maybe it needs to be turned off. I have not been on to much lately but that will change soon and I hope some more ADMINS will start to play more and give some input..@@Merlin007 deerejon and coolmd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the dawgs were totally cool ! but they always lagged 1 side or the other or both ( shame they wouldnt/couldnt fix that) Been reading the comments and have a suggestion... Sounds like there is a need to change things up a bit(for some) , and just like always some dont like a change at all. Perhaps 1 day a week (admins choice / players choice /random pic etc... change up the settings for example- health, weapons ,speed, gravity,..... tweak the settings for a day or evening bla bla bla. I played on a cod 5 server that they tweaked the pistols so when you shot your pistol it was actually a artillery round! Ya I know you can only have that for a round or 2 but its GREAT fun to play with some obnoxious tweaks.

On the larger area maps tonight there were a few times dogs were called in and there was no lag. but, the in your face aggression for the full minute after your dead by the dogs needs to have the aggression turned down a bit. I didn't play any of the small maps tonight but I did notice that ever since the dogs and artillery were installed 50% of the players seam to leave an hour or more early. that makes it the last 5 days in a row that the games end earlier than normal.

If you look at 7 days then 30 days it seems pretty consistent. And if you look at the server rank you can see dip 18 days ago, before the change, then it starts to climb back up in the 6 days ago section...so I don't see a huge drop off of players or rank. I wish those you say are affected would speak for themselves Dragon. Merlin007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
