I feel overtime should be removed completely. This was added in a mod in ET and it ruined the game. There’s no point in a round timer if you’re going to just give the enemy a potential free win only because they planted an explosive before the round timer ended. They had the entire round to get to that point, they shouldn’t get extra time because they’re close.

So, should the round just end 30 seconds before it actually ends now? 
I don’t see any reason not to remove it. If the final objective isn’t a C4 charge AND you’re not on the final objective, then you can’t win anyway. If you do make it that far, I think you deserve that final chance.

Then what would be the point of playing the objective in the last 50 seconds at all?

What? This makes no sense. The round ends when the timer is up. That isn’t 30 seconds early, that’s exactly on time.
You have the entire game with the entire duration of time given to you to get to the end. If you don’t get to the end in time then you don’t deserve a “final chance”. Your chance was given to you every step of the way while playing.
There wouldn’t be a point. People would just accept that they can’t any longer complete the objective and spend their time capping off their score with some fun frags or other messing around.

That’s damn stupid, I’m not even gonna be kind about it. It’s an objective based game, I’m not going to spend 50sec of the match accepting a loss when I could plant the C4 and bring it home for my team.
None of this “you don’t deserve a second chance” bullsh*t, the timer indicates how much time you have to plant the C4, not defuse it.

Stating the way the game currently is doesn’t further this conversation in any useful manner. We already know how it currently works.
Being an OBJ based game doesn’t mean this change couldn’t be made, and killing is one of the objectives. Killing the enemies (and gibbing) is what prevents them from doing engy type objectives.
For several years, ET had no overtime and it worked out great. To this day it doesn’t have it besides a couple nooby public mods that added it in. Since you clearly aren’t familiar with this, DB is made by the same people who made ET and is very similar to it. I can garuntee you from past experience that not having overtime works out great.

Get your “saying it’s the way it is” bs outta here. I’m saying it’s fine as day the way it is.
Also: This isn’t ET and works just fine in DB.

I never said it’s ET, read what I said before replying and you may understand.

It’s an objective based game, and thus no one is gonna agree to spending the last 50sec dicking around. You spend the entire length of the timer doing the objective.
You’re saying it destroyed ET so I said “this isn’t ET”. It isn’t destroying Dirty Bomb, and thus, fine the way it is.

I agree. The developers should remove OT.
If the a charge is planted on the objective and then time runs out, the attackers should instantly win.
It’s the defenders fault for not preventing the plant for the entirety of the round, and should be punished by not being allowed to disarm it. Why should the defenders get a potentially free win, they failed at preventing a plant. They shouldn’t get extra time to disarm it just because the attackers succeeded.
If no one can disarm it (timer ends) then it WILL go boom.

Agreed. I see no reason to make the last 50 seconds of the round utterly pointless to the objective. As you said yourself, sneak, this is an objective-based game - and the attackers deserve every second to complete that objective.

I would rather spend some extra seconds biting nails while my team is holding off the defenders than juggling my pineapples for the last 30 seconds when I know that planting makes no difference anymore. Overtime is fine as it is.
