Hiya guys. I'm wondering if we could dial up the spawn delay to at least 2-3 seconds. Right now it is only about 1 second long, and it is degrading the gameplay , IMO. We are getting the guy we just shot spawning behind us before we can even turn around or take 2 steps fairly regularly.

 

IMO, it's more fun and realistic if the guy stays down for a few, and is more likely to spawn a small distance away, instead of the very next corner.

 

thanks for considering it anyway.

I'm undecided on this becaue I want to get back in the game ASAP, however the disatvantage to this is on an air strike if I die on the first bomb drop I respawn and die on the third drop as well because it tends to be in the same genral area. Also I do not like it when I get shot and then when I respawn I am shot immediately by the same person. This is where the 2 to 3 second delay would be helpful in my opinion.

 

Again I am undecided on this one since I have not had to deal with a respawn delay on Abner's since I've been playing on it.

... IMO this has been a MAJOR problem that I guess started with the move to the Chicago Server ? or ?

anyway it seemed like it's happening MUCH MORE than it used to. (Getting killed by the guy you just killed half a second ago, before you can even take two steps to turn the corner.)

And also what A_Snake mentioned ... I died 5 times in row the other day without taking a step ... died as I ran into claymore, spawned died in Air Strike, spawned died in Air Strike, spawned died in Air Strike, spawned got shot. REALLY ? Die 3 x's in ONE Air Strike ? that SHOULD NOT happen !

 

A slightly longer spawn delay would fix this, and not ruin the game play that much if at all ... and I could swear that's the way it USED to be while playing ? something or someone changed it within the last several months or so ? so let's change it BACK, please. :embrass

Indeed, I'm finding I'm getting very frustrated about it these days. I feel strongly that we need to back it off some, not a lot, but some.

i agree soul... I didnt really think about it till you mentioned it. when playing the other day.. I was killed and spawned same area and was able to kill the guy who got me. And those damn air strikes.. hate getting killed more than once in a strike.

Abnerdog is the best COD4 server available (IMHO) and seems to be becoming more popular as we are starting to get some good crowds. The F|A players are very diligent about enforcing the rules and it's nice that there is a very low tolerance for disrespect. Would be great to make the server even more playable by increasing the spawn delay. This is becoming a huge source of frustration.

I have been on beginners mainly.. I miss Abnerdog's It has a nice rotation of maps and game style.

 

Hope to be there more often

We miss you too Theo ... my KDR ratio has suffered while you've been away. ^_^ j/k

 

Also note ... to keep the server fresh ... I've already been seeing people asking for a fresh rotation, so maybe sometime in January or Februrary :?:

 

I know the current rotation is only a couple months old, but people do like to mix it up. People do seem to enjoy the additional game types versus the glut of Team Deathmatches we had last rotation, so keep in mind maybe adding 1 Headquarters (which we haven't had in rotation in forever), 2 or 3 Domination's (which most people like), have 2 or 3 SABOTAGE (which people seem to really be enjoying lately), and maybe 1 Search & Destroy (not sure when the last time we had that in rotation, maybe a year ago ?).

I agree that the quick spawns didn't seem to exist like they are today. It is really annoying. Just the other day I killed Soul three times in the same area of Pipeline just because he spawned in front of me twice after the first kill. This is becoming very frustrating and a lot of players coming to the server ask what is up with the spawns. I have too seen questions about additional maps and games. I hate to sound needy since the rotation was just recently changed and it is a lot better than before, but I find myself waiting for the two sabotage games we have in the rotation and would like to see more. TDM is fun, but gets old after a while. Domination is always fun so I like them as well, but wouldn't mind seeing a HQ game or a search and destroy added to the mix. Basically what LA said above. ;)

I would suggest to get new rotation to GI Joe and he can put that one.

Soul, LA, or anyone else do you wan to hammer out a new rotation here? I've seen some people ask about overgrown and even creek to be put back in, but for creek it needs to be something other than TDM since it is so one sided. Maybe an HQ since the target relocates from time to time throughout the map. We've had creek as Domination and TDM the past two times on the map so I'd say HQ or sabatoge for this if it is added at all. We could also add Bog back to the mix with another game type too.

 

Right now i like our current rotation, just maybe a couple more maps and game types added to the mix.

 

Here is the current rotation:

 

1) Showdown – TDM

2) Backlot – Sabotage

3) Chinatown – TDM

4) Broadcast – TDM

5) Ambush – Dom

6) District – TDM

7) Countdown – TDM

8) Crash – Sabotage

9) Crossfire – TDM

10) Vacant – TDM

11) Strike – Dom

12) Pipeline – TDM

My thoughts for a new rotation:

1) Creek – Headquarters or Sabotage

2) Backlot – TDM

3) Chinatown – TDM

4) Broadcast – Sabotage or TDM

5) Ambush – Headquarters or TDM

6) District – TDM

7) Overgrown - Domination

8) Crash – Headquarters - this is a very one sided map for TDM or Sabotage, not fun being Opfor and too many do not auto assign

9) Crossfire – TDM

10) Vacant – TDM

11) Strike – Dom

12) Pipeline – TDM

 

If we have to add Countdown for LAkingsfan, it should be domination.

 

just my thoughts, please feel free to add your comments / criticisms.
