Shorten Round Time

**~~Cyanide~~** · 01-04-10, 12:38 AM

I am unsure as to if anyone has brought this up, but I think we should shorten the rounds. There is way too much time per each round. Sure its a bigger server, but do we really need 4 minutes (I think thats what it is), to buy weapons and attack a site? No. Then you see people walk the whole map cause there is 2 minutes left after bomb has been spotted down and they are the last of the Terrorists.

Discuss people!

Vtd. I think it will speed the game up more and make it seem more like CSS, and less than PR. xP

Just an FYI: It's currently at 3 minutes, not 4.

If the last players left are wasting everyone's time then the admins will deal with them. If they're using their time valuably then let them have it. If they don't need the time then the round will end. I say keep it.

I gotta say, even after a failed slow play, the last people alive always seem to have like 2 full minutes, at least, to do something, and it seems the longer you wait when you are outnumbered after a slaughter, the worse the situation gets.... Iunno, I've also seen the opposite happen when you have those extra 2 minutes to get a few more picks and go....

Sometimes it's annoying to sit and watch a couple people, who in some cases sat back and baited their team and then get stuck wherever they sat in a corner with their tail between their legs....

It can be frustrating, but that's not always the case. Weigh the good and the bad, and overall.... if anything, I would say if it does need to be shortened, not by much at all.

I've always wanted shorter rounds

Good Post Cyanide!

Even during a slow play there is usually a good minute left of the clock.

I think its fine the way it is. That last man stand for 2 minutes doesn't happen enough to be irritating. If you shorten it to < 3 minutes then you are denying people from slowplaying which is a valid tactic.
If you need something to fix your ADD just Shit+Tab into the web browser for 2 minutes.
