This command works great for TDM because often there aren't many players. However every single I time I have used it, and I am talking the last 20 times, it says try again in 2 minutes. Is this because i'm typing it in console vs a say command, or because someone used to earlier?

Did you wait 2 minutes and try again?

It can only be used once every 5 minutes (per server).

Sometimes I think that this limit should be shortened to 2 minutes because people use it to harass wifiman and whatnot, and it's hard to use a good comeback when you have to wait 5 minutes between communications.

I mean invite was obviously only invented for the purpose of one liners!

Well what I mean is since it always says that, it ends up not ever working - even if I try again.

I've used it on a TDM server, and it appeared not to work, so I try it again and says to wait..

Couldn't figure it out till someone pointed out it shows up in mm2

do you simply type ..."invite" to invite people or is it different than that? i've been trying to figure this out forever.

It started out at 2 minutes.... which indeed fostered a substantial amount of smack talk back and forth across the invite system.

I found a lot of it funny, but I also got complaints from players who found it all too distracting while fragging.

When I started getting people asking for a way to "turn invites off", I raised the interval from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. Seems to have helped cut down on the spam.
