yes
It would be VERY helpful if you post such information in the first place. No one's going to join a server just because it's "yours". People join servers because of what they can offer.


Upd:
Trailer, unfortunately, is boring and music is random. It's just some random dude killing bots. Everyone has seen this a thousand times, so this video doesn't tell anything about the server itself. You need to show what makes your server different from all those other zombie servers.
For the sake of variety - at least show different players playing on different maps with different weapons. Describe what's the goal and what's it all about so that players new to Soldat will understand what's going on.
Zoom in and out sometimes. Viewers don't need to see the whole battlefield all the time - sometimes it's better to show the important parts up-close. Check this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4H-YRQwd2o

But all that probably won't be much of a help. Sorry to tell you, but you've got a lot to learn in video editing, so if you really want a good trailer - you might need to find someone more experienced.

What is the point of that server? Why are there so many bots on both teams? What's with the WM and why is everything exploding randomly?

frosty, I've just tried the server and it isnt really fun. Too many explosions and pointless. I'd recommend you to add stuff wich you have to get by advancing, for example bigger explosions, or special items, wich you may use.

ok heres some more info

the server is using a death explosion script, when u due u spawn an m79 bullet which often explodes on the corpse, if not it falls to thr ground undernearth, so if ur getting spawned with a chainsaw the spawner gets killed, this stops mass spawning, in the case of a suicide, most enemies on screen are killed, this allows for tactical deaths, currently looking at a better method for death explosions so i can be more creative with the explosion shapes and i will make them smaller for suicides

why is there so much ammo? because as soon as u kill a huge group of zombies, another is coming right at you, i can make it so that zombies instantly respawn but then theres a massive risk of crashing the server, ill look at slightly lower respawn times or mod revamps later, also, infinite ammo was added due to popular demand

when u leave, all bots are kicked, this is my effort to help the host, and also stops massive spawning
when someone joins, Bravo is filled with zombies

i have realised that nades arent needed quite as much and with the current mod u only need 1 as they are really fast moving nades

currently working on an achievement system for website members, get a certain amount of achievements and u get better things, for example, more knifes

i changed it from bots on both teams to just 1 team so its more of a zombie server

when someone kills, a grenade set spawns on them
