Man, it's getting old, playing the same small hand full of good maps, then all the bad ones. I can see this game dieing way to early because people will get bored of the same maps, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

What? Just play CTF. This game has been going on for about a year, and if anything I tend to like the maps more as I learn them better. From a combat/flight/capping perspective.
The Plasma Gun and Jackal are both banned in competitive play - although to be honest it's fractal grenades that annoy me more on specific maps. Crossfire as an example is a fractal spammer's wet dream and it only takes two players on the enemy team to make defending the base area impossible.
Fractal nades are a HOFs worst nightmare. They kill all your mines and FFs and prevent you from bodyblocking cappers for an eternity. I hate them...
They're just awful - since no weapons do any friendly damage any friendly can just saunter through them (if they pushed friendlies around it'd be a different question, but then I can imagine the frustration as a capper being denied the flag by spamming Brutenoobs.)
The normal one keeps fires 23x410 damage shots over 5 seconds, which is silly. The extended one is ludicrous, since it fires 40x390 damage shots over 8.5 seconds. By the time the spammer has suicided in Crossfire, they've already come back to drop some more off..

That's a solution to the problem I can get behind, although then they lose a lot of their value.
Tonight I shall be experimenting with super-heavy-infiltrator-on-flag. I've heard it works a treat.
Edit: Oh god, it's hilarious.

Anyone else keeps getting half empty games? This is strange.
I agree.
Reminds me of the fucking indestructible spider mine nest in UT3. Epic Games thought it would be a good idea to make the source of nearly invisible one-shot killing spiders invincible.
Hirez thinks it's a good idea to have a persistent ground-restricting area created from a indestructible grenade.
Same shit.

I was having the opposite problem of there not being enough games to get into and all the servers full. I think they've upped their capacity now.
I tend to prefer between 8 and 11 players per team in CTF anyway.
Inf with superheavy is trolling the shit out of cappers because there is nothing they can do about it apart from spamming the stand and hoping they reveal the guy. But most of the time they don't even think about that.
Also lately the bug where you can't follow friends until a mapchange has been back again. It is the most annoying thing ever.

It's beautiful. They get "killed by weapon" too, so it takes them forever to work out what's going on. It works best on Temple Ruins or Drydock where you have a big flat area they can't clear you from, and you can see them coming well in advance and have plenty of time to get into a blocking position.
I was wondering what was up with that
Yeah, that's why you can't do it in Raindance since the stand is so small, you'll get hit by anyone whacking the stand. In the other two, the area is pretty big, so you can get into position elsewhere to intercept them.
I had that a few times from getting fragged by Jugg weapons, and someone said "Killed by weapon:weapon. Weaponception." after I roadkilled him.
Definitively some kind of global bug that doesn't just apply to unnamed "weapons"

"Killed by Weapon" is an impact kill, either from hitting the environment or from another player throwing you into it
