most of you seem to be caught up on the fact i suggested 3mins, but my intent is that you realise the 10minute timer is clearly not perfect, and each map could have a 'better' timer.

the timer being lower should increase incentive for the attacking team to move on small advantages, which is what i think the game should be more about.

lol that's not what i'm suggesting. only that the attacking team should have an actual time constraint, as opposed to none.

would be interested in what the ppl who play euro rules had to say

u are taking the 3minute suggestion too far, like i said, each point on each map should have a timer best suited to it.

defenders should be rewarded tho imo.

surely if the community feels that way it shouldn't be hard to implement, or "make" new maps for comp, like cp_pro_badlands or w/e, so pubbers can still use the original maps "as they were intended"

i couldn't think of a better term for the "clock" that once run down resets the 6v6 map, and a new mid is started..

i believe it is 10minutes for every control point on 5cp amd different on A/D

i feel atm it is nearly irrelevant - i.e: 10min is basically infinite time, but it is a good idea which just needs some adjustment.

should the timer be reduced to say 3minutes, it would put pressure on the attacking team to continue attacking, since they have more control points, and want to protect that advantage. at the moment, it is pretty tough for teams to deal with well executed suicide plays considering the "attacking" team has so much time to make these plays.

example: team A holds 4 control points on granary, and is attacking into team B's last point, each team has 6 players up and ubercharge.
team A can easily sticky defensively and sacrifice 1 player, or use 1 player to snipe aggressively, as losing 1 player while defensively positioned with equal ubers will be quite hard for team B to capatalise on.

if the 'stalemate timer' was smaller (3mins again, for example), perhaps 1 or 2 plays like this could be made, but it wouldn't be overly unfair for the defending team.

using 1 global time would probably be a bad idea however, and each maps' points should be considered when setting the stalemate timers. for instance a small timer on snakewater last may allow the defending team to get easy resets (especially with heavy engie etc..).

thoughts?

mostly fragvids tho

cool, good to know

i've seen one before in a pug.

team: TAKEN HEALTH/AMMO

team: HEALTH/AMMO up in 5

team: HEALTH/AMMO RESPAWNED

something like that. was thinking of making one to keep loose tabs on enemy uber

oh really? i thought ppl have binds for taking ammo/health packs already..

i'm trying to make a script at the moment that involves waiting, but using the command: "wait X" is inconsistant since my framerate bounces around a bit (is that how is works?)

is there a way to wait in seconds not ticks?
