It eliminates any “colour advantages” if you swap colours.

Also, some kind of “live stats” plugin would be nice if we were to do this, but thats probably pretty hard to do so i won’t ask someone to put in a lot of work for no reward.

I think we should use the US ruleset though and have done for a while.

There’s already arie’s plugin, it’s pretty neat but not public yet afaik

I wonder how many results have been affected by map asymmetries. I guess between 0 and 1.

Honestly there are many maps with asymmetries, you won’t notice their impact too much, but its there, and over the course of an entire game these little details could influence many things

looks fine

It’s not “the only problem”… Also it’s an integral part in streams and casts. If you can’t get logs and team switching working properly like the americans IMO you shouldn’t keep playing with the na ruleset.

I’m not saying its not better. Im just saying we need to be better prepared to use it.

I believe mp_switchteams does the work properly. The only problem, from what I know, would be keeping the results if the timelimit ends or the half ends ( basically going back to “warm up” ) cause it would go back to 0-0

i dont want to play 1 map a week… seems boring to mainly pcw only 1 map for a whole week (during a season) and the only map that really has a noticeable advantages only on one side is granary blu, and its not that critical, JUST DO HEAVY FIST FIGHT ON MIDDLE

Well, the point stands that not a single one of us has complained about it before.

Now it’s suddenly a big deal. Bollox.

Why do they switch halves in football? Would it be a big deal if they didn’t? what if the Spanish did switch sides but the french didn’t?

It would be a big deal . They switch halves to allow people in different stands to watch their opponent’s goal for at least half time. I agree its pointless in tf2

Why do they switch halves in football?

Imagine a game with a 200 mile an hour wind going from one side to the other, that and sun position can make a big difference. Also the fans.

Hope everyone agrees it’s not a deal breaker, I mean if it were we would’ve had half times a long time ago.

Americans play 2 maps a week – just on different days. This also means everyone plays everyone twice (I think? – can’t remember exactly).

I’m aware of this, it is the fact it is only one map per week, even if you play it twice. I get fed up of scrimming same 2 maps each week, so one map a week would be even staler although it would allow for teams to really look at a map, evaluate it and think of the best strategies, experiment and by match day, realize what works and what doesn’t and use it.

Did the same in Highlander in UGC, but in HL I scrimmed like 3-4 times a week, with 6’s we’re talking doing 8-10 pcws a week.
