Is it possible to make the first round last for 45 minutes, and the second 35?
35 minutes without arty leads to a draw to often in my opinion.  The-Blind-Norwegian  --------------------   Team Barbarossa |

Yeah, I'm not diggin the 35mins either. I dont think Ive played a game recently that has been 'won' or 'lost' - always a draw. But, I think most of the MOBs like the 35mins...

I don't know folks....I just don't know. The vets here know Barby can be won by either side in 8 minutes with all things smooth sailing. I still believe 35 minutes is enough and inspires bolder game play in rushing to objectives earlier on in the round. It seems 45 minutes rounds inclines more slower advancing- which is fine with me if results are still accomplished, but... the guys that usually rush in shorter rounds now plant slower it seems- giving more time for the nooblets to plant bases out of order- thus increasing the chances of draws and stalemates.
I propose a mod be introduced whereby nooblets most guilty of flagrant disregard for the preferred base planting sequence be spawned on a modded water well in rusky R3 village to be dropped in it [with a couple of satchel charges] or- on a modded scaffold in the middle of the map as a public incentive for more thoughtful gameplay. --------------------   |

If a team win in 8 minutes, the loosers consists of 80% nooblets while the winners have maybe 20% of the kind. In a more balanced game I still mean that 35 minutes often tend to end in a draw because it is not time to try different tactics against the opponents. Especially in the first round, when only a few guys get arty for some havoc show.
I like the water and scaffold idea, Hellfighter. That sounds great! The-Blind-Norwegian  -------------------- Team Barbarossa |

HF, you have no idea what you're talking about. What a bunch of rambling nonsense.
 45 mins is better than 35 mins. simple as that! -------------------- |

I haven't run my resluts through any data analysis machines to see the hard data that flows out the other side, but my general feeling is 35 minute games result in way more ties, and I prefer the 45 minute games to offer more chances for victory or defeat. I've never noticed people "sitting back" just because the game is 10 minutes longer. Those willing to sit back on defence tend to do it all the time IMO. Like I said, never used the statical analyzer to see if that's true, but i get the feeling when I play 35 minutes games I end up saying to myself a lot more "Oh, game over...another tie. Ho hum".

MoD Yeah, I think I'm going to start tracking how often games end in a draw. I'll post my results in a few days. -------------------- |

how about we split the difference and call it 40 minutes?
-------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |

I think that makes the game to long.....Plus what are we doing with the other server....I like to be able to playa whole game of barb and if its 45 minutes I NEVER am able to play a whole game....And if they blow up the bases right away you are playing DM for 40 minutes til the game is over..... My two cents...

40 mins sounds like a good comprimise... I think the bonus 5mins will make a big difference.

IMHO 35 is too short, please some additional minutes? The cunning additions proposed for noob planters are welcome also!

40 is fine, just not 45+, then people wouldn't stay for both rounds. i personally can hardly play a 35 minute one without being somewhat frustrated/bored/wanting something more fun.
