Server side options (admin please read) :P

Just wondering what you guys thought of maybe switching up some of the server side options to make theville's already kickass servers a little bit better.

Idea #1: mp_fadetoblack 1
Using this option turns off the deathcam and makes the game all round much more realistic and fun to play. I stongly support this option and think it would be a great enhancment to the DoD servers...

Idea #2: Class limits, maybe limit some of the classes like mg and sniper to say 2 or 3 per team.

Regards,
Anthem

your first option is already in use on 2 of the 4 dod servers.

I like deathcam so it stays on 9. I've been trying to limit snipers to 4 but haven't gotten it to work yet.

limit snipers to 3 and leave everything else as is would be the best in my opinion.

ugh are we going to start this debate again. Limiting on DOD is not the way the game is to played. If a team wants all sniper sure let them have it but the game is going to be dull and they more than likely will lose. Limiting in DOD is just silly.

But if u get 3 noob snipers and they arent gettign the job done, and they arent cooperating. You will get no sniper coverage because they wont swap classes = your'e screwed. On the other hand, a team of 12 sniopers is ridiculous. SO its a doube edged sword...

I was just about to post the "fade to black" option but then noticed this thread.

Death Cam = crap

Several of the servers have had fade to black at one point or another. It's proven extremely unpopular to the general public so the death cams were turned back on.

It's not very much fun if there are 1 or 2 people trying to play and the rest of the team is a sniper, its just not.

What Mulder said. I'd rather have noobie sniper coverage than be one of the only 2 guys actually doing something. Even if you try to help them, they just ignore you.

I have joined in many games where there were just too many snipers. It doesn't take long for them to realize that they need to switch classes. There may be a few instances where they haven't switched but I haven't seen it. Games usually level off as far as classes go about 10 minutes into a map.

Class limits = Lame

No limits and keep the death cam situation as it is.
