Do the Axis have an advantage?

2. Attackers spawn clock runs longer

This is already done. The attacking team will spawn in every 20 seconds and the defenders will come in every 30. These are also variables that can be set (e.g. g_redlimbotime x) on the server as well, so creative server ops can tinker with them if they like.

Must have missed that :eek:

Still, I think in that case the spawn times should be 30 Allies / 40 Axis, rather than 20 / 30. The 20 sec Allied spawn is negated by the distance they have to travel to get back to the action, and with a 30 sec spawn Axis are almost guaranteed to be able to re-spawn in time to defuse a plant.

One of the reasons Assault is such a popular map for Clan games is because Allies (defending) have a 40 sec re-spawn, so a good Axis team can clear out Allies and plant and have at least a fighting chance of defending it. On most RTCW maps 40 secs is the default re-spawn time for the defending team. A 40 sec spawn and 30 sec countdown for dynamite, as opposed to 30 sec spawn and 30 sec countdown, makes a helluva difference to the balance of the game.

The problem with setting non-default times on maps is making it an accepted standard. If it’s left up to leagues/tournies to decide these things Clans will only argue about it.
