I'm looking for servers...

(Lt. Jones) #1

without radar and railgun in the map rotation. Those two just aren’t fun for me anymore. If you run a server without them or have played on a server without them please post the servers here. I also like most custom maps so please post servers with them as well (as long as they don’t run radar and railgun).

I’d be interested to know why you don’t like those 2 maps in particular as they’re 2 of my favourites, being rather more balanced than say Fueldump and Battery, for example.

Just curious you understand. Each to their own. :slight_smile:

In all the times i’ve played railgun it was either spawncamp the axis to death or the railgun gets fired. Nothing else.

Radar might be fun if my fps wasn’t in the single digits in most of the outdoor areas. To have any chance of hitting anything I have to rely totally on non-bullet weapons. And that’s the only map where this happens to me, I can play all the others (including customs) just fine.

I hate railgun, too.

But I have no problems with radar.

If you like custom maps give Goat’s Bar and Grill server a try (69.31.6.147:27960). It runs 10 custom maps in rotation and is set up for 16 players per team.

Enjoy :smiley:

…great…

10 map rotations…

Xp carryover too, right? :banghead:

Just my humble opinion :banana:

(Englander) #7

It has Weapons Restrictions set to 5 wich means 1 of each heavy weapon per team & you can only fire 1 AS/Arty at a time wich stops the spam it also has very High Charge times for the classes to try & compensate for the XP carry over.

Yes, this does happen. If Axis are organised they can win quickly, if not they probably won’t. Getting the Tug to the Depot is easy if 3 or 4 Axis go straight for it, but too often you’ll get Engys run off to build the Command Post or Gun Controls first, which isn’t necessary, or you’ll get the usual Covert-Ops playing “steal the uniform” the entire game.

I don’t have any particular problems with Radar compared to other maps, and my system isn’t that great. Tweaking can do a lot to improve FPS on this map, in particular r_picmip 3 and r_lodbias 2 because they reduce the detail of foliage, which is the big FPS killer. Note: They reduce the detail at which the foliage is rendered, not the amount of foliage itself before anyone squeals “cheat”.

Radar is my favorite but I detest Railgun. It’s a really nice looking map but I just hate the gameplay. I hate being on that damn tug or trying to shoot people that are on it.

If you don’t think that train has some clipping issues, go covert ops, stand in the train (so it’s moving) and throw a satchel charge… where’d it go? Nobody knows… :disgust:

(SylverDragon) #10

Mentioning the clipping issues, the track switch on Railgun has the same problem. Half the time, I get to the switch (as allied engy), throw down a mine, and it disappears. And it still takes my charge bar :angry:
Pisses me off to no end when that happenes, because it means I can’t mine the switch as effectively before the first axis rush gets there.

(Abraxas) #11

my graphics are messed up for that map, the rails are way off to the right, other than that, I just dont care for railgun, radar however, is lots of fun. Lots of killing on that map :banana:

(Kerunch) #12

Yep try leaving dynamite on the bloody tug…PUFF…gone…
:banana:

(Kerunch) #13

Just an after thought…Wouldnt it be great if you could damage the tug like the tank.The axis would not stand a chance, more bitching on spawn camping on that map :smiley:

(Lt. Jones) #14

Lol I see everyone likes railgun as much as I do. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the info, i’ll give that a try. :drink:

(dommafia) #15

lol no one gave you a response hehe, but i will!

this server is the exact thing u have prayed for!

oasis -> battery -> goldrush -> fueldump

fate? coincidence? bad spelling? who knows!

server name: thefunnyfarm.net
server ip: 130.13.82.5:27960

(Oxygen - o2) #16

I agree, railgun is kinda boring with too mutch spawncamping and radar fucks my graphics card!

(Bokkem) #17

TIP: Try disabling the rain/snow (/seta cg_atmosphericEffects 0)

Railgun can be a real pain when you’re playing Axis with newbs. :banghead: Affraid to leave their comfy spawnshack or all rushing into that attractive looking blue smoke. The trick is to capture the depot yard as fast as possible and keep it. I like the depot yard very much, it’s great to defend or attack it. It’s a hard map for both sides indeed.

(Lt. Jones) #18

I can’t connect to that server, it just sits there on “Awaiting Gamestate”. It’s in a bad location for me. For some odd reason I always get connection problems to servers located in southern california and arizona-no matter what game I am playing. I’m on Comcast cable in notheren Illinois, and it works like it should when I play on servers anywhere else.

(EvilBaga) #19

True, but i get around this problem by standing in such a way that when i drop my dyno it bumps against my boots instead of disappearing.

Worse is trying to ge an mg-42 on top of the tug…That IS impossible on a moving tug.
