I voted default. The game just isn't designed to have rounds longer than they are. I really think the problem is that everyone seems to be having a very difficult time figuring out the objectives, and are simply taking WAY too long in trying to assault points.

On Stalingrad tonight, the Russians *steamrolled* the Germans twice since the Germans didn't hold the warehouse nearly well enough and lost it very early. They ran out of reinforcements the first round with several minutes left, and were having to defend the South Railyard for like 8 minutes the 2nd time - ran out of reinforcements and that got capped.

The Russians were agressive, and the Germans seemed to have a hard time grasping the concept of getting bodies in the cap zone. This was much more common in the Beta and seemed to be the way this map usually played out in the mod from reading up on it. It can be difficult for the Russians if the defense is organized enough, but I'm finding that the attackers in the TG games tend to be timid about really hitting the opposition hard - and this leads to the impression that there isn't enough time. In most games with an organized offense, there's plenty of time.

I really feel that at times we're tying to "BF2" the game, and it's just a totally different animal. I think everyone needs to dedicate themselves to trying to find strategies that work without changing anything. Learn which objectives can be taken when on each map. It doesn't take us 30 minutes to cap 3 flags in BF2 - and it won't after we get used to RO.

Now, I'd REALLY love to let the maps like Arad that can end in stalemates go on longer than 20 minutes. However, if we have to make a global change to all the maps, I'd sacrifice that to keep from imbalancing other maps to favor the offense too much.
