I just wanted to say that I think this is what the server needs to make it interesting. Nobody plays objective because allies get 20+ minutes to complete a map that should be finished in <10. So there's this unspoken rule not to play too hard until the last 5 minutes. This ruins much of what made this game so great - teamplay and strategy. As its currently set up everyone plays deathmatch, so the only fun that can be had is to play to increase your own stats or do novelty with the crazy group ( triggs lemr etc
).
I have no clue about the technical side of making a vote to change the server to stopwatch. But if we changed it so that stopwatch is on by default, then people can just vote nextmap whenever they don't feel like playing stopwatch. It would work in the same way how bots are on by default, but everyone can vote if they want them disabled. Same for stopwatch.
Does pub support stopwatch though? I don't mind if its pub + stopwatch. It would still be loads more fun than pub + deathmatch. Stopwatch doesn't mean the game has to be taken seriously, it just gives players something to play for instead of stats.
Also while I'm here, wanted to say thanks to all of you who keep the server running.
