The GD Server/EAS- What would you like to see...

Yes, lately I have to say that EAS on GD was less enjoyable the it was. The problem with EAS is that it is intimatly linked to reinforcements/time.

On many maps, the time is either too short or too long. If i'm not mistaken, before the time was ajusted to each map. If that is still possible, it would be a very good thing.

For reinforcements, I'm not too sure what to do. Maybe 2 "lifes" for each team and that's it. The way it works now is a little frustrating, especially for defenders.

For mutators... mostly the compass, yurch's nades, Inf mod team weapon pack 1, bulletsound 4 (or 3 until version 4 is ready/mature enough), UN socom muty and the usual stuff. Leave the no scope out IMO... it's more frutrating not being able to take a scoped rifle then being sniped down. With Yurch's bulletsound 4 it's going to get a lot more difficult to snipe like a godlike whore, so it's even better.

Other then that, I don't know. Map rotation is fine... there's hardly much choice with EAS.

For the game type... it's possible to use the game switch bettween EAS and Spec. That's nice... but would it be possible to add DTAS too (e.g. TDM with DTAS actived whenever TDM game mode is running or something like that)? Would give even more variety. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I'd like it

I was just on. I saw over 40 people playing inf across the board, and was mighty impressed, until I realized that many were just playing TDM on shan's server. I noticed quite a few GD's on there as well...

I bet a bit of leading by example would help

Up the time to play some, and up the respawn time even more. Try going back to the settings you used to have, way back in the day with 5 / 3 +2 reinforce, BUT make a minimum spawn time of a minute. Have a 1 minute wait counter, and make everyone wait at least that full minute with Beppo's NewWave. THAT'll add tension, and help remove the "insta-spawn-I-know-where-to-go" syndrome.

I would make all maps EAS and not Specialist until a Vote Spec mutator comes out. I kinda liked the scopes, just no sniper rifles. I won't suggest maps because I have a bias against wide open sniper maps like Arid, for obvious reasons. I'm generally happy with the GD server.

@ Geo:
It has been suggested that we take reinforcement down to 2 for each side (A and D get both at the same time). Some maps times do need adjustment with the current settings and most if not all will need adjustment if the reinforcement value changes. For switching between EAS/Specialist and other standard gametypes will not work correctly [I tried that].

@ Keg:
I think upping the the reinforcements higher than they are will not be good for my health, since I believe I will be hunted down and shot. As for NewWave and the respawn timer it might be good to adjust that if I change to 2 reinforcements [GD is currently using NewWave BTW].

@Un17:
Would be nice to have that VoteSpec mutator but who is making it? I saw somewhere that it was not worth writting since EAS is not played anyway. Heck I think {GD} is the only server that has Specialist at all! However, if specialist is a factor in turning people away then I will drop it. I hate to do it but I will....

Scopes or No Scopes Question:
I had "Scope Week" for almost 3 weeks and I do not believe it made a difference from having No Scopes. I will think about Scopes and might change the server to Scope enabled [or at least Acog Enabled].

Ghost Cam:
I believe I will re-enable Ghost Cam. I like to buzz around while dead (since I find myself dead a lot).

Is there even a Allow Acogs but disallow Robar/PSG1?

Might as well move on to this thread since I have already changed the server a lot already.

w00t 2 reinforcements rock! that was the only time I ever played EAS and felt kinda nervous about dying!

Odie, use WeaponSetup to remove RC50s and PSG1s, and their ammo.

As for the mutator, it's on my list after DTAS.

Iron sights only, no grenades, no m203.... Fire fights only.That would be nice, no?

Nice settings! I like it this way (even with sinper rifles). About sniper rifles... a team working together will never have more than one or two snipers it's auto ballancing most of the time. It becomes only a problem when player start playing TDM-with-objectives instead of EAS.... then again, NT teached me that a sniper team is pretty much useless.

Bah, I promise if you have to wait 1 to 2 minutes every time, you'll be sweating your reinforce time too

How about 4/3 +1, 1.5 minutes to 3 minutes, and a longer match time?

edit: Or 4/3+2 , 1.5 minutes to 3 minutes, longer match time, and really late reinforcements?

This is also a option I suppose. Would really like some more players to give their thoughts about *higher* reinforcements.

Nice settings. Will give it a try. Depends on the sniper TEAM.

I've always tried to push for long reinforce times and lots of reinforcements, ever since the days of DropInINF. Thank you so much for actually trying them

you wont be sitting out if the maps have the proper amount of time. Actually it would be the same as with 3 lives. The magic number I think for EAS is 3-4 minutes per life on small maps, 5 minutes on medium and 6 minutes on large maps. Only the most rushing type players will be sitting out for longer periods of time with these settings like me, and I was sitting out for longer period of times anyway with 3 lives. I just dont see people respecting there reinforcements when there are more than 2.. and at least for me its the only way EAS is exciting.

Geogob im glad you realized what I was trying to show you. If you are stealthy most maps which people use sniper rifles tend to have enough cover to sneak up on there team and wipe them out. My #s I counted on Tigerhunt2 last time I played it:

Snipers killed me: 2 times out of 8 rounds.

Snipers killed by me: 24 snipers killed.

I used a silenced MP5 and only 3 of the 24 snipers saw me before I killed them, 1 of them missed 3 times as I approached cause I did the "sniper jig"

silenced MP5

Supressed damn you die die die

Anyway, I like Keg his idea. Perhaps we could even make it infinite reinforcements, but make the respawn times longer after every death? The defenders would have the same, except of course after they get their reinforcements... It might work.

Time to pull out my sniper rifle.
