Engineers should get More XP or HP

[ravana]

Hi,

 

I'm tired of dying (providing xp to usually a medic) trying to do the objective. I say the engineers should get more Xp or Hp. This should hopefully make the maps more objective oriented. BTW hardcore is the most objective oriented server.....

 

Cheers

System was designed in such a way, thinking there will be team work and people will play to win map rather then HP or PPM. Sadly, after 7 years it's all about PPM.

Engineers have 4x more grenades + double ammos compared to medics. If you want to play objective, play competitively (etpro). Just get couple of friends and play 3on3 or 5on5, if you are new to etpro and competitive gaming and you want to get basic things fast, you can watch some matches at http://www.gamestv.org/ (register and choose match and Demand replay, you will be given IP address where you can watch replay).

Also you can check my ET Tutorial Pack videos here: http://fearless-assassins.com/tutorials/article/96-et-tutorial-pack/ (I uploaded some videos to Youtube too, check link at bottom of that page. You should be looking 06. Competitive ET and 07. Communication -videos for etpro).

 

Nowdays public servers are just mostly for fun (fragging, chilling around, talking with/meeting friends etc) and playing for objective is not the main idea. Though it would be nice if there would be server with 40 people who are all playing objective :DD

 

So short summary: objective--->etpro, chilling around--->"pubmods"(jaymod, etpub,noquarter...). This is the trend nowdays.

 

P.S. What I mean that etpro = objective? I meant that when you are playing scrim(for example 3vs3), you are playing versus clock. The faster time you set, the better chance you have to win. (also scrims are played in stopwatch mode, meaning that first u attack and then u defend or vice versa. Anyway, idea is to set better time than enemy) So you need to take care of engineers, because if engineer dies and there is no support for him, you need to wait untill he respawns, and that takes some time, and as you remember, you are trying to make as good time as possible. And usually you can't win the map without engineers. So people really need to support and take care of engineers, but also engineers need to make clear what they are going to do next so medics can support them effectively (communication ;p). And so on...blablabla, anyway I think you got the idea

Your biggest problem is the server you play on its a 50 person server (or even bigger) et was made for about 10 ppl (little moore or less) .

To lay the problem at the players is not rlly fair . If you wanne play objective play small pro servers and servers where game can be played normal (rush allowed) to win .

But some like the mother some the dauchter and even ppl like the father there is taste for everyone:).

lol where did you get that from?

[detoren]

@ ohur no idea i guess logics

a cos objective maps play best like that

b computers where not capable of running things we do now (exeptions where there )

c cos i was a marine we worked in rifle groups of 6 ppl (added with some useless staff )to do little missions (steal or rescue) .

d just of hearsay

e in the beginning 24 ppl was a big server .

 

But yes no hard evidence if someone has it i am interested to get a link to read .

 

and YES normandy beach was made for invasion with 40.000 ppl LOOOOL.

Lol, your logic isnt really understandable. I'd like to know, how does your Marine experience help you in ET?

 

But I am sorta guilty of not doing objective as engi, but I do console myself by saying that my teammates are too shit to defend/attack, so it is my duty to be the aggressive/defensive engineer.

He heard it from anal bomb.

You should play in etpub

[SunLight]

et is a team, obj based game, hence all the different classes, weapons etc.

 

sadly it is played as team deathmatch

 

it would be nice to have a public objective server (with stopwatch), but then they would have to kick all the players who don't play for obj... (hard to tell btw, since fragging is useful for the team too).

And I say again stopwatch, because unless the map is perfectly symmetric (some ctf maps) it's dumb to play for obj without it.

 

so it's better to play against some skillfakers/cheaters on irc if you want to play obj, as bosshk said.

Tired of dying? Since you can rush now, only play on stacked offense. Walk through map easily or with little resistence. Still don't expect any help from others, you're an engineer ffs (on Pub, Pro, Zombie mod, doesn't make any f'n difference). Pwn with your pliers!

SLAC only!

SLAC only!

Which reminds me that banlist needs to be updated, If there's anything that needs to be updated

Thanks for all the suggestions. I gather being an engineer is tough luck, specially on a server full of raters. Guess all those raters can continue to gangb**g me for some time to come.......

[Olykiller]

totally agree with BossHK

and watch those youtube vids, he has rly sexy voice XD
