New DM1-8 Server

[10zx]

Spawn camping is part of the game, we should deal with it properly, and plead with the admins at tastyspleen to have the short invulnerability removed at spawn.

I guess Quad kind of does the same thing as the BFG... introduces a little randomness and tests skills you might not otherwise use (like hauling ass away!).

i'll quad frag you!

Hopefully it won't, but I'm suspecting the ts dm server will end up this way too due to us "lower class players/newbs" liking a little variety.

Speaking of the lower class, we are the ones who've kept this game alive, and will continue to do so. Where did all the others go ? I check mage regulary and there's rarely anyone there, like right this minute. The ts_dm server is also empty except for the elite wallfly. There's a couple players at mutant, no one at railz, ds madhouse has about 6 players, sheridan is empty as usual and ts_vanilla is packed (as usual).

Punk and I have had this discussion a few times before. Your so-called higher class quit q2 and move on to other games I suppose because they're so bored with playing just a handfull of select maps, strick edicate, and the same few people. I know I would be.

...I for one think its overwelmingly boreing to play the same map twice in any day....let alone in a row....I joined the mutant server just the other night and aerowalk was being played consistantly....I can tell you that on the second load.....me as well as others....went searching for another server to play on.

When the fun is gone, you leave... believe me.

I hope you didn't think I was implying you were a newb or an "average" player Art, because I think you're fairly good, and at times you can be quite a challenge, specially with the railgun if my memory serves correct.

Yes, lots of people have quit playing Q2, good ones and bad ones, I won't pretend I know why though.

I think even if quad & BFG remain in their current state on the ts dm server, I'll still very much enjoy fragging there since the vast majority of the regulars that will go there will be nice folks.

And as far as DeathInc KEA's opinion, I'd suggest he stear clear from the ts dm server, fortunately for him there are other servers like mutant that have many more map options.

Hate being the smartass:

armor/armorshards = 20 sec respawn time
health(10h and 25h)/stimpacks = 30 sec respawn time

As for serversettings I'll leave it to you guys to argue. On q2dm8 bfg doesn't bother me, if someone even bother use half the time on the map going up there then they deserve a frag or two. I find it more a railwhore map thana

Well, I'm new to the forum here but I was reading a thread on this post started by Crazed where he was discussing the use of the BFG.  I've often found myself arguing my pro BFG opinion.  You'll hear alot of players throw out NOOBIE when someone uses the BFG, but the BFG in the right hands can be a powerful weapon and in the hands of the wrong player it can be disaster.

First of all like Crazed said, in order to be affective you have to shoot the BFG and keep the person, or persons you

didnt know that line of sight thing..  thats how bfg works?


and yeah..  ppl shouldnt bitch about BFG and quad and stuff,  any more than they should bitch about chaingun or rail....
or camping,  or whatever.    Like Kmarts add in a sunday paper way back in 1996, 

      Quake -  Survive in a brutal 3D world.

it didnt say anything about seeing to it that its a fair game...  its fair already.


on the other hand..  I like the way t1234 are set up..  dont change

On the DM server most people don't Quad.   I Quad if others have been quadding.  I stop if requested, unless someone again gets it.  I certainly don't always get it.  When I play in a smaller group, we often play without it. 

I like the quad beacuse it is an important resource that the players vie for.  There is nothing wrong with using what the game was designed for.  For example q2dm8 was designed as a rail map with a balance of BFG vs PS.
