ok
use this thread to post your comments on how you think the league could be better, or how you think the rules could be improved, or about maps/gamemodes.

i dont want stupid posts or spam in here, only serious posts

a lot of peeps have made comments on irc, or complained on irc, so if you think you have an idea that will make the league better, post it here

MAP's and game tupes

Currently i think the general layot is good.
The only problems i see are with some maps, and map/gametype.

For example sands is VERY big for this format. Rommel full of bugs (in 2.4 it will be a exelent map).

Pressurezone ctf is madness. I think that non-oficial maps (1-3 good maps that bend perfectly to some game types) should be used.

You sould consider the size of the maps for the format of the gametype. Besides this i think everything is great.

Suggestions then.

I think that the league would be more polular if it where a TDM league.

Keeps it simple.

one map a week - 30 minutes each
TDM

6 players each.

-------------------------

Also if each team had 2 contacts. (mail and icq)
--------------------------


I have spoken to more clans on this topic and they said that they dont play due to it not being TDM.. TDM is very popular indeed.


Mentioning it on Barrysworld and UrbanTerror,net would help also.

Apart from that I think the league admins and organisers do a great job, I couldnt handle doing all that organising myself.


You really want to make it as simple as you can for yourselves and the clans..

Anyway theres my tuppence.

TDM

no, its crap-on-a-stick.

there is no real point to it. TS has some sort of strategy, as does CTF / C&H. I play a realism mod for the strategy of not dying... not respawn every 5 seconds.

Ah well.

TDM

I like TDM. Its nice to improve my aim and for fun.

The problem with TDM are the respawns. I think you have strategy in TDM but it resumes to a spawn camping. If you play on casa (for example) you get 2 respawn points that are very near.

I think that some maps are good, but you are confined to fight ALLWAYS on the same place.

Please god, not TDM

TDM is utterly devoid of any teamwork, thought and strategy.

All it proves is who can bunny hop to the flashpoints fastest and reel off more ammo than the opposition before you die. Fun on a public server, but no real indication of skill.

TDM only clans have no real strategy. Most of them a reasonable shots with automatic weapons, so they ask for what they're good at.

Fact is, they'd get bum-shafted by a half decent TS clan. (Controversial.. oooh)

So my vote (with both hands) is for TS. CTF I like, but if it's so unpopular that only 5 clans want to play it then there's not much point.

 

[old.Baston]

Pure TS and we will be 100% back in and fully committed.

i still think there should be elements of ctf in the league...

Currently however ctf is being played on some orrid maps, ie pressure zone...

If the ctf map list were cleaned up a little, and mebbe a couple of custom maps it may be ok.

Also may i just point out.. all these clans who complain "i dont know the map how can i play" are blatently stupid. You know a week in advance (more infact) you are going to be playing a map, you should make a effort to learn positions of flags etc. I've heard this complaint repeatidly in ctf matches. If you dont know the forking ctf map thats the clans fault...

 

[ST8]

while i remember one other point, get that scoring system of shows implemented

I dont like that current scoring system

 

[show]

aye agreed ST8 .

Ive asked in the QA forum for several things to make urbanterror fair cause fair it currently is not.
Iain doesnt think we can have them until 3.0 so next season i might propose we play ctf on timelimit 10 and play it twice with swapped teams.. Other leagues do this apparently. savage i think.
TO be frank its the only way :/

 

[old.MrBlack]

Yep

The same would be useful for C&H, but the spawns there are more random. Plus that's not going to be in the league any more..

savage play 20 mins each way. tbh it is only fair. Maybe ctf games should take two legs ie. only one map that week instead of two...

just my 2p
