REQUEST: Rockets only mod & server

[Arm0r]

all the noobs just spam rckets and steal the kills out from under the good players who are actually aiming and doing the majority of damage :/

then quit spamming rockets and stealing kills from the good players.

[console]

The maps dont lend well in my opinion to rocket fights either.  It is wide open, just aim at areas of large activity and spam away until you are forced into a fight locally.

I assumed cloning the railz rotation was just a starting point.  Everyone is welcome to propose a map list for rox.

Spawn with no armor(perhaps armor spawns where they normally do on maps, and that would add some strategy right there.) Spawn with 15 or 20 rockets max.  You better think about pulling that trigger and wasting a shot.  You will need to kill to get more ammo.  A different map list that is more rocket oriented.  Rockets are about SPLASH DAMAGE!  Hallways, walls, corners.  Not open maps, and often single plane fighting.

i am not sure if the current railz mod will support this, as far as allowing armor on the maps.

Yup, the mod supports it.  I disabled armor spawns because most of the current (railz) maps don't have any.

If we get a maplist where most maps have armor spawns, it would be no problem to enable.

I don't object to spawning with a limited amount of rocket ammo necessarily.  Can always switch to hand grenades if you run out.

Tried playing this the other day.

There were only three of us,  and probably inappropriate maps.
My first impression was not too good,  but I'll reassess after tweaks and trying it with more players/better maps. 

After the first few minutes I just held the mouse button down.

if no one is too excited about the idea of a point system, then I agree--taking away the armor is the NEXT best thing. Since we're leaning towards this direction......

1) is there a way to NOT count a spawnkill / 'invading someone's personal space' as a point?
2) + some of the popular ra2 maps, - some of the railz maps

start out simple:
DM1-8
match1
aerowalk
gromdm3
ztn2dm3


no armor, spawn with 15 rockets, perhaps a clientlimit of 8?

Spawn with 15 rockets, 10 grenades, no armor.

Armor spawns on maps are enabled.

its fun with armor respawn. probably does need rocket ammo pickups tho

in 1v1 you run out fast unless you save them for sneaky shit

OK, rocket ammo spawns are enabled now.

It is perfect the way it is right now. don't change anything  apart from maybe other maps in the future. but spawning with 15 rocketsand spawning without  armour is good, and having armour spawn and ammo spawn is good too.

sounds awesome, can't wait to try it out!

Could we also add health pickups?
