what happend to stock maps? Options

[)--S@B0T-->]

Nice Sabot! I think another reason why stocks is declining it that a combination of two things. Intelligence, and Stupidity. I think the intelligent players are tired of going on Offense and destroying all the enemy bases only to find that they're last bunker is planted while some tards just stand around outside the bunker with sniper rifles. (duhhauaoh whaattaa weee doooe?) That's what I'm tired of at least. There has been several time's that jack and I under different aliases have defeated an entire enemy team by ourselves. The other members of the team must have just been there for distractional purposes, because they never bothered to shell one base.

Also, there is an expression for the stupid people I came up with a while back. A more politically correct term I came up with is "The Deathmatch/TDM Rejects" Seems like most of the people who come into BA are more worried about sniping or kills to worry about getting in/out of a tank and defuse a plant or knock down a base. These are also the people who repeatedly do stupid things like shoot your machine gun, block doors, attempt tk'ing, hit you with jeep across the map, taking the heavy North on kursk and then just camping with it, or just stand there with no F'ing idea of what is going on and occupying a slot that a competitive player can use. I'm sure you've all encountered these people. There have been several instances that Dean and I have sought games elsewhere for these reasons. I have been playing deathmatch. That is where the competition is! No stupidity. Because the whimpy's just come in there, get killed a few times and are like "screw this, I'll go to base assualt and attack some peeps who ain't looking"

Ok, griping complete.
I bid you adieu.

I have to agree with you completely. That is exactly why I stopped playing a long time ago. For some reason stocks always attracted those noobs. Barb has its share, mind you, but for the most part they seem to be drawn to stocks for some crazy reason.

Enough I say! lol.

The reason no mod or new map has been added to the server,is the fact that CSA,DEV and any other TWL team,uses the NORMAL maps as interactive practice.

[UNDEAD 1]

not saying they need to be altered in any way,just wondering where everyone is??

I would suggest a tdm set-up like Happy Penguin's 24/7 tdm Foy. No 88s. It's insanely busy most of the entire 24. I don't play cod much now but I like popping in there; It's a nice set-up they have--- 40 player slots and even though the server crashes 2 or 3 times a day, they still fast recover to full games. Just a suggestion. And although everyone there whines persistently about large numbers of tanks taking ownership and having decimating spawn ownage effect, they all still play there- it's a good sized map with constant action-and fun. Generally the reason is tactics rather than strategy is the key for winning... so noobs there can still make the game fun.

You'll have to clear up the difference between "strategy" and "tactics" to me.

However, the idea of no 88's is a good one. Although I don't think anyone will go for it until it's dead and buried, I'd love to try Barb out with the paks removed, increase time limit to 70 minutes, one round games. No long distance pakking to cover plants, but then no paks for defence either, and you'd have one heck of a lot of arty parties after about 45 minutes!

Stocks have been happenin the past couple nights. Dont kno what happened but if we get around 8 guys in it will fill up.

[Barkmann]

The past weekend saw alot of ppl on the stock maps

Kharkov BAS would be nice to see on, thats a fun map to play BAS on.

Stocks is stocks.

Stocks is stocks.

Took the words right outa my mouth!

[-priority(+)target-]

Yeah, it says so much... and so little at the same time. It is what it is, but what it is is good.

Lets not go completely crazy and talk about changing what is pure and good in this world... If you all want to talk about changing something, I think Barb could use some planes, or maybe modern weapons would be a great... j/k... "I was only kidding" (ala Tony Montana)

[HammaTime]

One issue I've always had with the Stock Map server is that it really isn't a pure stock map server. We have the weapon sound mod. Over the years there have been so many people who have come into the server and thought we had some kind of hack running because they had to download a mod. I know everyone loves the cool weapon sounds, but if we truly want to appeal to the widest audience with our stock map server, I'd advocate we pull that mod. The more hurdles we remove for new players to join, the better.

Hehe. Well, I'd be for that too, but I know I'm probably the only Barb reg that thinks that'd be cool. Planes on Barb...mmmmm.

[Crazy Canuck]

I have to agree with you hamma! many people won't even join if they see they have to download something, i know i'm like that anyway. maybee we should put up a vote or something, because really it's a useless mod if it just changes the sound a little.

[-priority(+)target-]

What am I takin crazy pills? That sound mod is great... I love the silenced ppsh... ah well vote if you must... but make sure one of the options is to vote that yall are crazy to want to change it! LOL

I like big butts and I cannot lie. this cold and flu medicine ROCKS baby! YEEEEHAAAAAA

[)--S@B0T-->]

Is this the same mod that we have always had? Or is it something you guys have added as of late?

I wonder how many other servers (stocks) don't require any download whatsoever if you have never played there before? Seems like everytime I join one, I always have to download something....usually. Maybe it is a turnoff to some. If the factory sounds aren't too intolerable, then maybe give it a go and see what happens.

......you otha brotha's can't deny....yep, pain meds are kickin' in! LOL.
