AWE server and map rotation

[[SCUM] OUTLAW]

I think we should keep it custom maps and modes mainly,ctf and backlot 2 !!!!


Ctf works with most maps so maybe that should be the main focus of the server ?

*jumps up and down excitedly*

Do it do it do it!

[[SCUM] DeathWish]

CTF & SAB basically the same thing ?

[[SCUM] OUTLAW]

yes and no,when the bomb goes of thats it,with CTF you could come back from behind and still win the round...you should know that !

[[SCUM] Blackout]

ummmm,

custom maps? i dont think thats the best way to go, its like jumping in at the deep end! the custom maps are big files, and take a while to download, if people havent tried our server they dont know if they like it or not, if they dont know that, there highly unlikely to sit there for 2 minutes to let the maps download.

I say, keep it as stock as possible for a few weeks, or until the server starts getting reg's in. then start padding up the server then wit custom maps, once we get the players tht are gonna wait for the downloads!

As for the gametypes, i dont mind CTF but we have to think what will bring the players in, and a tried and tested method we have learnt is that FFA is the way to draw players in. thats why its the only GT we have running in the rotation at the minute!. once we get 5/6 players we can switch to TDM/CTF/Sab manually.

that said, it leads me to the next thing...

we have all done a good job getting the HC Server upo and running, it is almost self sufficient now, it still needs a little camoing in a morning to draw a few players in, after that it stays populated (usually full) until early the next morning.

We all now need to push for as many people as we can to get on the AWE server and get it populated, we have enough playing members now to do this faster than the other server! we need to get the rank and Rep up, just like we have done with the other server.

I believe that if we do the same as with the HC server, we should have two well populated servers in no time..

This is my 2pence on the matter

Well what differentiates itself from the main server apart from a few little tweaks,if you run stock everything theres no difference than the main server.

I like Backlot 2,i like Alcatraz,i like Two towers ,i love CTF.why would i play on the awe server if i could play on the main one.

What we have to ask ourselfs is why are we running AWE and why should i choose that server instead of the populated ranked one.

C'mon Blackout ,sell it to me !

1 NO KILLCAM - many h8 it many luv it, go to server depending on how u feel
2 No HOPPING - speaks for itself
3 NO camping - we dont penalize players on our hc uk server for camping, if u h8 campers like i do then u will play awe,
4 Everything can be tewaked (to an extent) more nades / greater bullet damage will make for a more realistic game
5 New gametypes!
6 Full unlocks - all players are the same, all weapons no one has the upper hand.
7 Custom maps - i like all thoes maps too, im happy to have a few customs in, but not ALL custom maps.

i love CTF.why would i play on the awe server if i could play on the main one.

well caus | HC UK | server dont play CTF ! Foool

TBH nothing is stock appart from the rotation at the minute! Its the little tewaks that make for a better game!

I have a few things planned for the AWE server thats just not possible for the stock server! for example a little thing im working on is like THEMED NIGHTS. for example, on a friday from 8pm well run RPG's & C4 only until saturday morning, but once we have a regular player base, we can do almost any combination we want.

Oh and did u not hear the part where i said keep it stock for a few weeks or so, not all the time!

Hmmm...its useful




2 No HOPPING - speaks for itself
Good one

3 NO camping - we dont penalize players on our hc uk server for camping, if u h8 campers like i do then u will play awe.
It was annoying as hell and put us off playing it,we wanted it off ,it broke the flow of the game and made it a chore to play


4 Everything can be tewaked (to an extent) more nades / greater bullet damage will make for a more realistic game
Still not a big deal

5 New gametypes!
CTF is the draw but like you said its not gonna be run for the first few weeks,so the people that you do draw in will be a bit pssed off as after a few weeks or months new game modes come in and its not what they are used to.Are you catering to the AWE crowd or the stock crowd ?

6 Full unlocks - all players are the same, all weapons no one has the upper hand.
most people have that already and if not they have they weapons they want anyway
7 Custom maps - i like all thoes maps too, im happy to have a few customs in, but not ALL custom maps.
I would rather have 2 servers running different things than 2 servers running nearly identical things,just makes more sense as you increase your potential audience the more variety you offer.

i love CTF.why would i play on the awe server if i could play on the main one.

well caus | HC UK | server dont play CTF ! Foool
And this one doesnt either until a few weeks down the line you said.

whats the point in having all the weapons given to you and not being able to use em ? i can understand pistols only but not for a whole night

I love AWE because it is so different ,especially the custom maps which there are a shit load of.

Oh and did u not hear the part where i said keep it stock for a few weeks or so, not all the time!

Which is my point entirely,apart from a few tweaks like no hopping,its just another COD4 server without Official Ranking.

Gotta do better than that

THERE IS NO PLEASING YOU!

If u wanna go down the full blown Custom roation route, ill deal with it, but it will make it all that harder for use to build up a clan base! which means getting all available SCUMMIes to play the awe server Primarily over the other one!

[Smokie]

I'm with outlaw on this one. We either go down one of two routes in my opinion. We either have a custom server. ie. different maps, gametypes etc. Or we have another ranked HC server.

For me personally, I'm not too fussed. I like playing on server 2 because server 1 is over populated most of the time. It's a nice break from the craziness of all the camping, choppers, glitching, blah blah.

I really enjoyed the last couple of nights on server 2, but when it comes onto a stock map I'm just like, whats the point?

[[SCUM]-Sol0]

enjoying the new maps and game types. but as long as i can shoot snake and no brackets (love u long time smokie ) i am happy. mind i am not wearing that pvc skins blackout has made .and i think once peeps get to know about the custom server it will soon fill up as like us all gamers like a change of map and game type
hope to have you in my sights soon ......................................

How much fun was Alcatraz/The Rock last night ,imagine that with 16 players !!

look at these !

[[SCUM] Blackout]

i was testing maps for 2 hours last night, i have 6 at the minute that are ok to go in, before i do tho, i need to upload them to the server, the average mapsize is around 40MB, which is pretty beefy so you will benefit from getting the maps manually then placing them into your COD4/usermaps folder,

im gonna be looking for more and more, so that we can all have a go and decide if its gonna stick or go in bin

[[SCUM] FeRoL]

My 2p

I think the main peeps who are going to play on the AWE server ( at first ) are those that come across from the main server who are reg's that're looking for a bit of a change. Once it climbs the rankings a bit people who like to play custom maps will find it and hopefully keep coming back, it shouldn't take too many of us too long to get this going.

I for one get a bit bored of the stock maps and game types sometimes and am willing to camp the hell outta a custom server.
