Thread: 24/7 CP server goes no-crits!

Topic split. If you want to debate the merits of TF2 as a game then do it in the other thread.

I dragged myself away from my regular MMO to give this a try and I had a lot of fun. It felt like any other awesome time on our server, but the lack of crits one shotting me lowered the frustration. I also know that I get better when I have to work for my kills instead of letting a lucky shot do it for me. I'm glad we're trying this and I'll be back to try some more.

All of this coming from a guy that defended crits in all of the other threads we had about them.

Had a great time last night win or lose, and even popped some kritz on Civil before he got kicked for r-slot!

Found it easier to advance with the threat of crits eliminated.

Maybe this was just last night and owing to the excellent teamplayers we had on there, but it seems to me that people are more willing to listen to the medic being the 'shot caller'. Protecting the medic is key and with that comes having to listen to the medic calling out stuff. I played medic for a while and I was please to find that people were not only shielding me, but listening to my orders.

I even recognised someone from the 'CAL 1337 clan fag' community whom I thought to be an ass. He played fine, and started using his mic more as the regs led the way. Good show.

I agree. There were still rolling happening but it was obvious that coordination and class selection was to blame not just luck. Adjust your tactics and wham, back in the game. This format does force people to play at a higher skill level/concentration so if your not in that mood, just switch to one of the others. Also, having those new and skilled players was fun, because honestly I know at this point which classes I needed to worry about with different players, etc. The new influx of these skilled players kept me on my toes. Honestly though, I do miss my random crit ubersaw stabs (MEDICS REVENGE!!!)

I like it so far cuz I dun get crit rocketted when im lucksmaning soldiers in the face.

I really hope this wasn't the main idea for this server. Why separate the new and the skilled(I know that is not what you said, it is something different)? We want the skilled training the new.

Thats a good point, but I've actually started trying to get people to play on this sever in particular so that they can improve. The better the average skill level is per server the better everybody will improve. There doesnt seem to be any room for jerking around so the people that want to learn will.

I don't like that it is on the CP server. It is making the other servers empty more often and i am not a fan on CP.
