Hey Boys and Girls on the INTERNET !!! WOOOHOOOOOO!
Just my feedback...
I think Ftag 1 should remain the way it is; PERFECT! The primary reason for Ftag 1 losing its popularity as we know is the migration of regulars to MW2 Mod Server.
Even before this thread,
1) I have had many players confiding in me that they play regularly on the MW2 server even though they do not like it but prefer the Ftag1 server (They do not like MW2 mod's new inteface, lack of teamplay, defrosting etc). Their chief reason cited was that they prefer playing in a full server.
So they either play casually (1 or 2 rounds) on the MW2 server or join Ftag1 server when there are sufficent players according to their individual estiimate. However,after they leave the MW2 server and see that there are few players in the Ftag1 server, they choose not to play at all. As such, many of these players stop playing.
2) Changing the defrosting aspect changes the dynamics of the game greatly. The issue is not about score. The issue is that many will tend to neglect defrosting and allows them the excuse that their low defrosts were not registered in their Assist. Can't think of many examples the moment.. Heres one scenario: 2 teammates are frozen, 1 is frozen in a risky and/or faraway and the other is frozen in a moderate location. Imagine people looking at their mini maps and multiple teammates going for the easier one. And btw, who can forget that HOT SEXY hero that goes well behind enemy territory to melt you away? hehe
3) I would like to point out that maps Rockridge and to a lesser extent Islan Volcano is generally unpopular among the Ice Cube lovers. I notice that people start leaving during these maps.
Maybe some alternate measures could be taken?
Players with very low defrost ratios would be given player skin mod with their pants down. As their defrost ratio drops, their pants drop too!! hehhehe
Hopefully my input does not offend anyone.
