bonus round (aka kill the losers)

**RandomGuy** · 02-12-2006, 08:22 PM

Do you think bonus round should be on or off? Bonus round is the time after a team captures all the flags where the defenseless enemy team can still be attacked.

I think it's pretty immature. I'd prefer to have the game end when the objectives are met, not have a little free fragfest for the winners...

Ditto. It serves zero purpose, adding nothing of value to the game.

Double ditto.....

I've never played on a HL1 DoD server where you can carry on killing. It seems very un-TG to me.

I think once all the flags are capped everyone should stop taking damage. I don't see any reason to let the winners rub in the the losers face.

This is a simple server setting, right?

I know I'm in the minority but I think it's fun, especialy when you get the last flag and turn the tables on the guys that were a second away from shooting you to pieces. I think it brings closure to what would be an otherwise open-ended victory. I even like playing the game of hide and seek when I loose. Maybe we could compromise and half the time of the bonus round or something?

Open-ended victory? What in blazes is that?
Victory brings closure to the round, doesn't it? Not the other way around?

If you cap the last flag before they shoot you, you've won. The end. Tables are already turned.

Yea, but the screen freezes and I'm about to get blown away by 3 guys with rifles. Surely they'd kill me and retake the flag. It's a Pyrrhic victory at best. With the bonus round I get to see them retreat as they're chased off the field by my mighty flag capturing prowess.

I can see both sides of the arguement, but in my short time playing this weekend I even had fun running from the bullets and hiding when I lost. But it is pretty pointless on TG servers.

My thoughts are the same on both points.

I willing to go majority rule on this. Bonus round is now disabled.

i have to say the mods you made to DOD server are beautyful. I think the black screen when you die is amazing, kind of freeky.

I'd actually change my viewpoint on Bonus round, I hated it at first but I soon found myself feeling it added an sense of atmosphere. When I won, the enemy all fled...I had won! When I lost, I ran...I hid. I'd been routed and felt the shame of defeat

. I'm mostly neutral on the subject but I like it.

Arf · 02-14-2006, 03:24 AM

Now I actually think it had some real value in that it made people more likely to defend their flags. When there was a bonus round if you didn't defend your last flag you got killed anyway. Now players can spare themselves the death by running away and letting the enemy team win. Too me it's the same thing as the last CT running the clock instead of going for the hostages.
