Server coming soon... need opinions
« on: September 01, 2006, 03:27:05 pm »
Okay, I'm working on a unique infiltration server (10-slot) which will feature two completely new concepts:

First Concept
People have been whining about the imbalance of infiltration for a while now. What if the teams were swapped halfway through a map? Well, that's I have in mind. I will use ARSSE's swap teams after map change function, and double the maplist, so it will go like this:

inf_Abel
inf_Abel
inf_Outpost
inf_Outpost
inf_Moonshine
inf_Moonshine

and so on. I also plan to lower the cap limit per map, so you won't be stuck on that map you hate for too long.

Second Concept
Tired of playing warehouse and moonshine? Have no fear, my server has no default maps whatsoever. And if you're tired of inf_Rise, don't worry about that either. All the maps have never been released publicly. Ever. Me, Wraithlike, Eagles_Arrows, Mothafix, and OutOfOrder, the newer mappers, have been at work creating maps that will satisfy all soldatens. Here are some screens. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Also, some excellent infiltration maps that get rejected in the soldatforums will be included in the rotation, with the author's permission.

I would like anyone reading this topic to give their opinions on both ideas.

I remember you saying something about this ages ago, How do you mean though by the Teams swapping halfway through a game??
How many maps?

So far, there's about eight never-before seen maps, which is good. I'll get another five or six from the forums, so long as they're very good (both in gameplay and in looks). Because of the team swap function, the maps don't have to be balanced.

Regarding the teams thing, they won't swap halfway through a game, it will just feel like it. The teams swap every map, and the maplist is doubled. It is done using a function of ARSSE.

I like the idea, but would prefer if instead of the teams being switched halfway into the map, that the teams are swapped after the map was played and then the map be replayed with swapped teams.
There are other worlds than these

Thats exactly what it does. It swaps after the game is over. Oh, and Mistercharles, It's nice to see some new maps, that I've never seen. Ever. *Wink*
