God you really can’t let go can you!

Nice, alot better this week.

tv_delaymapchange 1 for the big games. It’s not worth putting it in the config because we don’t want to force everyone to wait 90 seconds between maps just because they have STV on.

I disagree about the round times, obscure experimented with a lower round limit to reduce stalemates but it only amplified the problem, in most maps it’s in your best interest to push quickly.

Good stuff though, it was felt a little disjointed at the start as if the questions and answers were recorded separately, but after the quick-fire questions it got going again. I quite liked the background music in the first one but I didn’t really miss it in this one.

on the subject of round times.

it seems like people are going to the css side of things when it comes to tf2.
think about it, yes both cod4 and css have under 2 minutes or something to play a round, both cod4 and css you only have 1 life to use in that round.

tf2 is more like quake as in you have infinate respawns with a spawn time penalty with a total amount of time your able to play (20-30 mins).

if you use cs/cod4 runthroughs matches in my opinion will have much more draws.

you can try it but meh, im up for it if it works.

Mate i’ll make 5minutes feel like 10 minutes if i wanted to trust me :p

nice cast btw :D

Cheers

5min roundtime wont suddenly change it to cs. Its just there to prevent some 10min stalemates “hi byte :p”. Only positive things could come from this imo. Its not yet really a big problem but could quite well become one.

10 minute round time has never ever been a problem. It’s only ever been a problem on maps where stalemates are common (Well, Fastlane and older versions of Obscure), because the game stagnates when pushes are failing from both sides and nobody’s capturing any point.

If anything, a no round time limit siuation would be for the better, meaning teams cannot camp out for that last 4 minutes to run down the clock and start again. That said, it means that maps like Well, like Fastlane, could potentially last forever.

However, only once in the time I’ve played competitive TF2 has the round limit been breached, and it was predictably, on Well, and our team was purposefully camping it out.

As Snowie said, it was proven that on Obscure (I don’t know if it still has the 7 minute timer – I haven’t played it recently), that reducing the timer resulted in more stalemates then before.

Don’t fix what ain’t broke.

And on a completely unrelated note: talking of CS, has anybody ever played Arena 6v6, properly full-on?
