Re: Posting this out of anger.... 12:30min CO is BS...

i'd prefer a 20 min co because that gives everybody the chance to "boost up" their levels.

Everytime you play COMBAT .... GOD KILLLS A KITTEN!!!!

**Juggernaut** · 01-25-2005, 08:53 AM

I havent play in a while but experimenting with it again wont hurt. and last time combat was newer. I dont think it'll hurt.

I think that is why the time limit was set that way. 20 mins games are too long. It usually ends up in a stall or in a marine win. I would hate to see a game drags up until 20 min because both teams are equally strong. And combat is about speed. One team or another should be able to win in 12min. Otherwise, the defending team deserves the win.

**blackjackel** · 01-25-2005, 06:04 PM

well, 20 minutes is a bit steep....

I'd say the maximum that should ever be put on should be 17 minutes...

but 12:30 is just ridiculous at the moment (maybe it wasnt back then). I havent seen a single person oppose the 15 minute timelimit....yet. how long does the thread have to be up and/or no oppositions before the change is implemented?

BTW, sorry if i posted this thread originally sounding like a jackass, but i had just got out of a BS alien game where we didnt have nearly enough time to do anything and i was really really mad....

It's not a matter of time as much as it is interest.

I just don't see that much interest here in change.

That having been said, I think most people are adapting kormendi's approach: don't expect much and you won't be disappointied, 12.5 or 15.

I've set it to 15. If people bitch, we'll go back to 12.5. If not, here's to the glorified ready room.

**blackjackel** · 01-25-2005, 09:30 PM

thanks wyz, I hope people will have more fun with 15 mins...

but even more importantly, i hope 15 mins will help the server fill faster for more NS games...

**TheFeniX** · 01-25-2005, 10:50 PM

I think we should find some more entertaining mods to add to combat. It's not serious play, and I think if it was more enjoyable: people would stick around for NS.

**blackjackel** · 01-26-2005, 01:51 PM

I completely agree...

I've played on servers where you can get 50 levels and you can get things like:

nano armor: Self-welding armor

Cybernetics: Makes you run faster

and aliens can get things like:

thickned skin: more hitpoints

bloodlust: Recharges energy faster

hunger: Give you primal scream after every kill....

This made CO much more fun in my opinion, but again, thats just MY opinion...

Hopefully everyone else will agree and we can do this =)

**Wyzcrak** · 01-26-2005, 03:14 PM

We're already running the mod that makes that stuff possible.

It simply requires configuration, which I presently have set very conservatively.

If you guys like, we could up the time limit, turn some of that stuff on, and throw an NS mapchange vote to players after X minutes have gone by and Y players are present.

**jackel** · 01-26-2005, 04:32 PM

is it possible to leave it at 12.5 but then add a vote to extend the game by X minutes. that way if its a good game people can keep playing (hah.. good game.. combat.. lols :P) or if its bad they can goto next map.

**TheFeniX** · 01-26-2005, 05:10 PM

I was hoping for something that took the emphasis off of kills and did something else. Like MvsM combat: it's just a stupid way to waste time. Combat is a frustrating way to waste time.

**retard** · 01-31-2005, 02:50 PM

a ways back, someone... (pandas | romano?) made a mod for combat that involved res nodes as "nodes" you know, just like ut2k4 onslaught.

i enjoyed it a lot.

**tekunogekai** · 01-31-2005, 03:02 PM

Hey, now that sounds pretty fun. However, I fear that if that were implemented people would go ape titty for it and decide to play it often. This is only a problem because I imagine that MvsM-Onslaught would be a lot like dysentery: you giggle at first, but it becomes apparent that you REALLY no longer want it.

*squirt*

**retard** · 02-01-2005, 03:11 PM

ns is marines vs aliens.

marines vs. marine is the worst idea EVER.
