Quick question

[noxx_]

I guess this would go out to the management but why (forgive me if this makes no sence I'm so tired right now) do we have our servers set to show you who just killed you ? I just think that it takes stealth out of the game like sniping. Its no big deal I'll play ether way just wonderin why its set that way unlike the sniper server.

I can understand how you feel but seeing who killed you can make the game much clearer for your self and team mates as it hi lights the area of the opponents. It beats getting killed and not knowing how or where your killer is.

if you are referring to freezecam, yes, we have it all our server. Not sniper server though.

We have tried to take it off before as the majority of the community was against it. However, those efforts were not successful as they glitched the achievement system.

My 2 cents:
Majority wants it but it maybe helpful for other people too. Actually we have many fun moments (screenshots) taken during the dead cam, or from the right hand corner seeing who killed you.

It's part of the fun too.

personally i hate it part of the game is figuring out where someone is, talking to your team about possibilities and taking that person out

having a clear picture of someone makes the game a lil less fun especially if i get the first shot off and see that i missed the person by a fraction of an inch gets me all frustrated

I think it is good to help people get better at the game, but it also takes a lot of the stealthier parts of the game away and forces constant relocation for certain classes.

Freeze cam is great becuase when you die, you can see why, how you can improve, or do things differently next time you are in that situation. Basically, it's better for the dead person, and the stakes are higher for the killer.

It makes it that much more impressive when you get massive amounts of kills while staying in the same spot

I like it only because it stops people from doing the same thing over and over again without the chance of them being spotted and killed. You definitively brought up a good point noxx. Ill tell you what, next time you die close your eyes and use you imagination!

You can always turn it off locally. :biggrin_old:

These are all valid points. What is the best approach to keep people interested in playing on our servers?

Hi there. The best is to keep the server mic-spam free and punk free. Just imagine, when the admin starts abusing his power, there is no way that the server can keep up with its competitor.
There are a few exceptions but in the end, these clans (as I have visited their sites and servers once in a while), their higher management asked not to kidding around with admin abuse.

Players want to have fun. But when people start cursing out, yelling at the mic, nothing is done, I guss people would leave the game immediately. They don't want to turn off the mic because it isn't the point.

So I guess our community has done a amazing job at keeping the servers clean and comfortable. But since we can't have admin on 24/7, we could have just miss that 1 minute mic spam, it is our pub and non-admin members to help us, to give us feedback and to report it with evidence (that could be a demo, a screenshot, console message).

This is the best way to keep people return to our server the next time they play. We know people leave but the only way to keep people like our servers and rules is to make sure we provide a mature and a fun server. When I join a game, I usually take a very active role via the mic and message, to help th team out, to have team work there. When people see team work and they are involved in it, they will return because this is what a game is about. We aren't in a real war but we want to have the fun part with team work, treating it as a real war, real battle.

i would not mind if we took that out, i think you are right my friend. we should take it out

I dunno i have a short attention span and i need to watch something. Maybe if DOD had a hover craft racing game like CS has on the minimap, thatd be alright.
