    This game needs the equivalent to CS's "Pity Cash" that you got when your team was sucking it up, to give you a fighting chance.

    As it is, lose the first round and you're on your first step down the slippery slope to getting raped from across the room by .50BMG wielding enemies while you spit popcorn kernels.

    Not really

    I've noticed a lot of rolls, but I've also noticed a lot of fairly even games where it's 3-3

    But no one remembers those

    What I've noticed more is how every game seems to have someone with a 20-2 or so xp-death ratio, even if they regularly aren't in the top 3. There is a definite snowball effect when it comes to getting some early kills.

    I've played games where the same team wins over and over. I've played games where a team wins a bunch of times and gets super rich and then the other team comes back and kicks their ass. It's completely dependent on skill even if one team has better weapons.

    I think you get a retarded amount of XP for being alive at the end of a round, when you could have contributed nothing to the map. It also encourages turtling, because you get more reward from just being alive then going out there and killing mans (but dying)

    I sort of agree with this; the idea behind it though, I think, is that you're rewarded more if you assist your team without necessarily going for the kill each time you see an enemy.

    Also, I want everyone to know that Isolation is a horrible map and you're all horrible for enjoying it. It's pretty much the 2fort of this game.

    I've learned to handle Isolation with the Assault class and the Tier 1 SMG's pretty well. I used to feel the same way as you about Transit, but then I started toting a shotgun on that level. That really made a difference, right there. It's a tough map to get around on for anyone other than Recon, that's for sure. At least I assume that, I haven't actually played the Recon class yet, but I have played it as Support and that was murder, alright. I'm learning to cope in Transit as an Assault pretty well now too.

    One of these days I may just have to see what playing the Recon class is all about.

    That's exactly why it sucks, support with mosok is already a beast on every map there is; on Isolation recon is shit and assault is a gimped support (until they get their 20xp sniper unlocks and you play them for a round before it switches the map).

    Hehe, thanks, I see you shredding it up out there too.

    I really like the M41 (2 down, first ) - I've tried the other guns and none of them seem to be quite as accurate. The automatics fire faster, but I can do the same thing with my trusty M41 by spamming the left mouse.

    The only time I go with it now over the SRM-7(fake P90) is when long range is really a factor. Otherwise I tend to skip the second level of Assault unlocks. The MX-5 Assault Rifle, on the other hand, is a thing of beauty.

    Isolation is a good map. It could use better spawn points and cover for the attacking team, but I've seen them win plenty of times, even against a team composed entirely of supports, so it ain't impossible

    The subway map, on the other hand, is my least favorite. It's cramped and there's no real clear lines of sight except in like two or three places, and I can never really figure out a way to stay alive on it. The map itself is cool, but it's definitely the least best

    Also TFS is a gay

    I've been talking with some of the devs in their IRC channel, and I've asked them about that. They hint that their are other gametypes they've messed with, but I can't get much more out of them other than more gametypes are on the way.

    I can't remember for sure, but the original NT on UT2k4 was a TDM game that had respawns until a timer ran down or you got a certain amount of kills. Maybe mrflippy remembers better than I do.

    Well see i am enjoying a lot of the gameplay devices in this mod, but i dont like the gametype very much, and there ARE no other game types. You would think a team deathmatch style of gametype would be a give-in for basically any MMO. And i think it would fit really well with this game, and for me it would make it a million times more fun.

    And i play UT3 and CoD 4 team deathmatch often.
