Hamster4 Friday Night Match

[adslrizla]

Im prepared to put up with it for clan matches though. The whole point is not to get shot, so we're not waiting around for too long if we're any good.... that counts out me.... but I'm willing to wait around. It just makes me more determined to get better and not be killed.

Round-based, we have got to actually "play" the game, rather than, run around shooting until you die. We definately gotta look at it as a whole new ball game!!

You need to change your sig m0rpheen because from what you've said then you are a gamer now. You can't argue about that - clans, training, "play" the game. No argument now mate - you are a gamer

Thanks all for playing on Hamster 4 tonight      The point was to try it and have some fun. Wonder where the VS-UK clan guys have gone? They visited our old forums but haven't seen them here.

Does anyone want to try round-based play again? I'll setup some games tonight on Hamster 4 if you all want?

Rizla is right about the spawn points on the Castle Map, they need working on, I too spawned a few times right in front of the enemy and died instantly.  I died 12 times before I got my first kill, although this was not all down to the spawning points, more a case of me thinking where the hell did that come from.  The map itself is great, but with all the hiding places its very hard to know where the bullets were coming from.  

The Rb and standard Obj matches can be fun to play as long as we all change our style of play from charging around the map trying to get as many frags as possible, to sneaking around using cover to creep up behind your enemy to take them out.

Rizla - I think that you're you're getting a bit confused here old chap!   We aren't doing the proper clan thing (not for now anyhow) so we get the choose what we want to play and when. I certainly wouldn't want to play any boring maps.

The other thing is that you need to give RB play a chance. I have often had occaisions here I just play crap and get killed every time quickly and then get frustrated. I didn't enjoy my first RB games either. However, I now rank The Hunt as one of the best maps because once you get used to the style of play and the map it becomes very satisfying (especially when you get to be the very last one alive on you team holding off all comers to win the match! ). It does take some practise though and you have to be very careful - no charging in!

I really hope you'll give it another try - just don't do the castle map.

I probably am getting confused  

Regarding RB play - I've actually given it several hours now (public and private servers) and on a couple of occasions have been "last man standing". I still find it boring. Each to his own eh?  

PS - don't suppose it helped that TS was bolloxed last night. Bloody thing just doesn't seem to work for me once there's more than 4 or 5 people in the channel. Probably something to do with the STPro - seems to have it's fair share of problems

hya riz about teamsound i hosted the other one and  sometimes i could hear soloman talking clear butt when i stopt mohaa and went out of the game then it started to work good i thought then i could hear hunter soloman  and arathrael talking very clear maby try that sometimes host teamsound whithout playing yourself

[Arathrael]

Basically my problem was (castle map) that I spawned 4 times in the courtyard - dead instantly. Spawned twice in the dark room - one time I just got stuck in a corner and couldn't really move at all. Boring - had a hell of a lot more fun with BigBazza and I stalking each other around the same map.

I think the castle's a little too small for more than a few players - you're too likely to spawn in full view of half a dozen people who want to shoot you, whether it's RB or not, but of course if it's not you come back straight away, get shot again, come back, get shot, and eventually come back somewhere out of sight. With a few players it's better like rizla said.

It'd be hard to improve the spawn points much I think, since there's nowhere that's really 'out of the way'. So I think what's needed is two maps, small_castle, and much_bigger_castle

Just a thought, but has anyone checked to see if they're still using them? The link is still there on the .com website........
