Super cool idea to replace golden cap

So, you find golden caps annoying, pointless and think that they can often result in “middle point” luck?

SOLUTION

As derived from a drunk evening of playing pyro dodgeball several weeks ago, it was decided, there and then on FB mumble, that we should play all golden caps on the dodgeball gametype to determine which team has the best pyros, randomly.

The penalty shootout of TF2.

actually we talked with vallone about this and he came up with a really good solution, change golden cap to 10mins of overtime. (ofc not in stopwatch maps) :p

I’d actually prefer overtime, providing the reset timer didn’t also reset for some special over time mode

Setting an extra 10 minutes would require some pretty nimble fingers (or a bind) from one of your players if you’re winning 4-3 and the enemy are pushing your last point with 30 seconds to go. Other than that, it’s a interesting idea.

WOOOOO!

or you wait until the game is over (the original 30 minutes) and start again fresh from 0-0 with a 10 minute timer…?

How’s that different to a golden round? I thought the idea of this was that the team with the advantage at the end of the map keeps it in the extra time.

Because it’s an extra 10mins of game time. Rather than just “1 more cap”. So if a team makes a terrible mistake/has a player lag out, they’re not screwed.
