where are the dtas / eas players

[geogob]

Because I still enjoy good games of INF and I enjoy coding I will still work on RT. So during rany days that's one of the thing I will probably do (and we got a lot of those over here).

One thing that has been said, and I think Sentry Studios should take a note of this... the 2.9 release was indeed the best one (actually one of the best games ever made IMO). But it was based on one major gametype that was given with maps that had little to no replayability (with some exceptions like Mostar). That fine... but such a gametype should be comming with a "map release program". First they should have released less maps in the intial release. Then slowly release new official maps (maybe that would have also given the time to test maps more thoroughly and create more dynamic objectives). In general more dynamic game structure would be welcommed for the sake of replayability. Simple things can be done for this. In Irak, you could have had either one of the two CDs to capture... not two. Also don't show its location to attackers, let them find it. Then put a random extaction point... don't show it to defenders... let them find it! Just making people search for objectives gives a whole new perspective to the game.

Also the map release program might improve things, the major multiplayer shooter in player# - CS is at least as repetetive (and has usually a lot less routes) and Millions play it.

I don't know exactly, why INF didn't succeed to win a huge permanent playerbase but most single-reason-explanation can be profen wrong with the propper example.

 

[geogob]

thats not entirely true. As soon as you consider that INF is not aiming at the same type of "gamer" as CS does, that logic is flawed. You have to consider what YOUR player base is looking for... not the one of that other game.

Wish some talented guys from this community made an Inf for UT2004. A lot of us have bought it already. We could steal all RO's maps in the process
But, i'm not sure if the playerbase would grow then too.

I'll keep checking the servers and play as much as i can.

I wonder if it would be possible to rip americas amry's maps. Some of them are actually very nice.

I haven't been playing lately because my computer has decided to take some vacation time . It seems that the motherboard has died and, since I have some exams next weekend, it's very unlikely i'll be playing at least in 2 weeks. Of course, as soon as I have the comp up and running i'll check servers.

...And my issue with DTAS is again the community. People aren't going for the cap, or for defense. They threat it as TDM where one of the 2 sides has a disadvantage because they can't continue with just 1 man left. ...

Well, you came back a little too late I would say, cause it was working much better before you came back (which does of course NOT mean you caused it ).

Maybe I am lacking a little better english to explain what happened for me that does make this game loose the fun. But some don't seem to understand me the way mean it. I can just try this: Some of the feeling that INF made unique was lost. I think when really so many vets of the old DTAS players where left I would have less problems. Well anyways, I wish you all fun. The only time I will play is for beta testing new stuff for you.

Great, i found Jgkdo yesterday with 2 players, and i think "good, with luck i can play a somewhat serious match" but not, one of them had to be a f*cking SPAM nader. With a specialty in flashbang nades. They were his primary weapon, no other. :S

Unnerving, annoying, unrealistic, not funny. And no more ppl enter. I quit after a few maps.

It was just the thing i needed to finally forget the damn game.

 

[Nukeproof]

Well, I was on JgKdo with 3 other guys and played for about 45 minutes.

I agree, we should try to setup a DTAS night but I believe after the league there'll be more public DTAS anyway.

 

[AlmostAlive]

I've started preparations for another Wonderful and Fun Night of Infiltation. Wether it will be EAS or DTAS remains to be seen. We'll aim for a different day than last time though, most likely Sunday. However, things might change.

I'm not organizing the community, just the team and beta team. Servers will be open for all to join of course, including the Teamspeak servers. It's up to you if you want to join or not. There are still quite a few pieces of the puzzle left, but I'll but I'll keep you all updated. I'll ask erehwon to post a small update on the main site as well, once everything is setteled.

Turin, just forget about silly players and bad games. Take a break from inf for now. You'll feel better in a few weeks. Then try again.

Good way to deal with it I think.
