Quake style domination etc

[Parva]

No doubt many of you will have seen the Quake style messages and sounds running on several servers, as in 'Domination' etc. It's running on #01, #02, #07 and #13 and I'm sure there's one or two others but old age is creeping in. ;)

Would you guys like this rolling out to all servers (other than the specialist 'climb' ones) or are you happy with it as is?

Also, we have 'melee only on sudden death' on a couple of servers. On #13 (turbine) this is set to switch everyone to HW's and makes for a highly amusing fist fight. I'm about to change the default class that all get for something different on that but I digress.... Should I add melee only to more servers?

Views, opinions and suggestions welcome.

Keep some servers as pure TF2 - some people like it that way.

Hell no to the domination effects. I can't stand having to download mani admin rubbish. I wouldn't mind but steam doesn't let me filter out un-pure servers.

I like the fist fight idea though.

aye domination rubbish just gets in the way. If i wanted to hear that all the time id play quake.

[ez64]

Yeah TF2 doesnt need rubbish downloading in the background, its fine how it is.

The Quake sounds and such like are good fun esspecially on my favourite #2.

At the moment i think the mods are quite fun but i think if we add more and such like it will kill the game play and the general atmosphere.

For an example (as i said before) i play alot on the #2 server. With the new Radio option on the server (which is really good and i enjoy) but noticed that obviously because everyone was listening to the Radio no one was talking ingame trying to organise themselves......just a pathetically small peeve for me but you get my jist.

Adding mods and funn bits and bobs on servers is great but make them far and few between. If you start adding the melee weapon section in all of the servers then you would have an uproar! especially from #2 hee hee :P

I'll leave as is then with melee only on sudden death only on a few servers and I'll leave the quake effects where they are now and not add further.

i'm not a big fan of the whole sound pack thing on servers, but melee-only sudden death is always a laugh :)

[βДĐĜĘŘ©]

Ye don't get me wrong i don't want to seem like the boring one but when you start to overload a server with packs, add-ons, and mods it just get's a bit too much. Besides the majority of people enjoy the game for what it is not for what you add onto it.

*cough* admins you know what i mean *cough*

Forgot to say on Turbine I have also noticed quite a few players joining the server but not getting as far as the game - I assume because they are quitting out when they see the sound files d/l ing.

Downloading extra shiz = pain in the ass.

[swarfega]

you only have to download it once.

Are the servers being renamed to UK2 aswell? I seem to remember them having a stupid amount of plugins for bright flashy lights sounds and general annoyances. Mass plugins only ruin server performance anyway :\

Not a fan of the quake sounds, TF2 already has a a "domination" feature that works well.

Melee only sudden death on the other hand is ace, and turns sudden death from meh :roll:, to something i look forward too.
