Remove Third Person in TF2 Servers.

[TopHatCat]

Let's be honest, the TF2 eGO/pG Hightower server is full of players who would use any kind of tactic to get any advantage in the game over other players. I have seen a few players abuse third person by sitting just outside of spawn and waiting on the enemy, I have seen players sit around corners waiting for their next victim. What's the point of even playing if you can't have a fair game in the first place?

As far as I know, third person requires sv_cheats 1 to be enabled, doesn't it? Does our server have some sort of third person plugin?

I've never seen or heard of a single person doing it, very curious. Is this actually something we have enabled on that server?

 

[TopHatCat]

Yes we do have this plugin. We have had it since the merge between pG.

I mean, it's not like only some people can use it. It's open to the entire server to use. I personally don't use it, but I don't have a problem with others using it.

 

[TopHatCat]

There have been quite a few accounts of people who use this thirdperson command that only sit in corners, waiting for someone to come by so they can "ambush" them off for a cheap kill. One in particular is a user that frequents the server as pyro, only sitting behind corners for an "ambush" on players.

Dear TopHatCat

Your suggestion has been accepted, and third person will be removed per your request. The leadership has decided it is best for the servers in entirety instead of just hightower. This thread will remain open, until the plugin is removed.
