^^^^^^^ yessssssssss!!!!

any word on whether this poll is simply that, or if there is the possibility of an impact being had? it would be awful nice to see the return of random class melee sudden death. fun times.

I'm going to playing around with server a bit tonight.

the poll only indicates sudden death being the preference though, i guess, and not necessarily a specific sudden death, like random class melee. that must be because random class melee sudden death is so awesome, a vote for sudden death is an assumed vote for random class melee sudden death. right? right?? :w00t:

Guess I'll just throw my 2 cents in here as I've been playing nothing but warpath recently, and it's growing on me. Warpath -needs- sudden death, it's just par for the course with a map like this. Every time it ends in a stalemate I hear groans at the lack of a way to end it aside from stalemates, and it also results in at least 1-3 people leaving the server each time.

One of the problems with sudden death on warpath is that players are reluctant to leave bases on regular sudden death, where you have sentries and ubers. The solution is to remove that, by making it a random class melee sudden death. 90% of the rounds will end with closure, the ones that don't will be because someone is sneaky enough to avoid being killed. Wich itself can provide some enjoyment, situations like this often have hillarious results.

NO NO NO we don't want db heights named as WP it won't do !!!

 

[Bad_Dude]

Guess it didn't get put back tonight, After one round, I would say about half left when they saw no sudden death. But didn't take long to fill back up tho.

Sudden Death always made for great fun, why was it removed in the first place?

 

[Bad_Dude]

From what I understand, the last "big" update caused it to be removed and just has not been put back on.

I like the sudden death. One little tweak needs to be done - the time needs to be shortened, or at least not allowed to be 'juggled'. We do have some real pros on that server who can extend the game for far longer than what people might be able to wait.

That said, if the server is sitting at 9-0, with stalemates not counting... the server should auto scramble.

 

[FreakingHell]

Yeah, I'd have to say Warpath has the most talented regulars...

 

[JHeat]

Yeah my only thoughts on sudden death is if you get killed right away, you're left sitting there (sometimes for a very long time) watching everyone else play. Then people get bored, and find another server. I think a solution like random class + melee like ack suggested would be a good solution to this, because it would go a lot quicker. And a bunch of spies running around trying to backstab each other? Hilarious.

I like no melee and all sniper sudden death, that way I can take all of your heads with ease. Or just make it no melee and I'll go sniper and take all of your heads anyhow.

well from the meeting tonight SD has been put back on the warpath server. But it may get taken off again if more complaints get filed

 

[Wombat]

Yay, it's back! Thanks!

I really missed it. I'm a longtime CS player, and Sudden Death is just part of how it seems like things should be.

Thank you to Ego leadership for responding!
