modded server

[Wagsjunior]

i was playing on other servers which use mods and then i played on TRs s + d server and my point is that TRs was boring (no offence) so could you add some custom maps? or add some mods. I played a mod called extreme and it was really fun (got planes flying over and getting shot down) so can you make TR server a bit more exciting?

[Cataclysm_J]

I think the idea about the TR servers is that they are used as vanilla COD where we can play the games as they were intended. If we want to play mods we go on other servers but there are fews servers now that are not modded and its nice to have a place of our own where it is COD as it was intended.

Apparently we used to have a custom maps server but you'll have to ask villan about that.

[Hellfire]

think he meant cod2, and i agree custom maps and modded servers are a lot more fun once you have played the standard maps over and over it becomes a bit samey
especially when u have been playing it since its release

[Cataclysm_J]

But thats what I was saying, there are many modded servers out there and as you know Hellfire we go on something like Nano or OMG when we want to play a modded game and always have our own to rely on when we want to playvanilla COD. I was referring to both CODs when I said COD before.

It would be nice to have a custom map server though.

[Hellfire]

why not have both tho a modded custom map server and the original pants 1 then TR could support their own servers instead of other ppls
seems daft to me when clans pay for their own servers but just play on other ppls

[Wagsjunior]

and i think thats why hardly anyone plays on TR (exept on thursdays and sundays when 2 people start playing then an army forms) if you look at the server frequently you will see 0/24 people playing. Most people like to play mods and theres no point paying for a server if your only gonna use it 2 days a week

[Cataclysm_J]

We don't just play on other peoples, we play our own too. And tbh the servers arn't for other people they're for us, sure other can come on but TR is a large enough clan not to need other people to come on to have enough players for a game as you know, in matchs we easily formed a 12 man side. We don't need the servers in constant use to justify them and I've never heard anyone else complain except when they've gone down for whatever reason.

[Wagsjunior]

im not complaining just thinking of making gameplay more fun

[Hellfire]

i gotta agree with wags j here whenever i look its 0/30 ppl on and i see you more on omg or other servers than TR cj

i think the point he is making is why not have a TR modded custom map server , why not have a server that members can jump on and play whenever they want with ppl on rather than having to jump on an empty server and hope some1 joins if you look at omg or nano or vsuk there is always some1 playing and its not just clan members its any1. infact right now as im writing this there is 7 ppl in ts yet no1 on TR servers

[Wagsjunior]

also i think most people enjoy TDM, S&D is good but when you die you have to wait. and if you on a full server during S&D and your first blood you gotta wait. People enjoy more fast paced gameplay

[Wags]

People enjoy more fast paced gameplay

Not everyone does. TDM is OK now and again, as is HQ, but most of the clan enjoy S&D more.

It would be nice to have a custom map/modded server as well as the vanilla COD2 and I believe that Mr Villan is looking into this (?)

[Cataclysm_J]

But we like vanilla COD, I don't see how you can say all this Hellfire when you've been in the clan for the last year and you know that when we get enough people on TS we all say, "right, lets go on our server". We're not trying to cater for other peoples likes with our servers as they are for us and if other people don't like it they can go on a different server, I like it the way it is and I assume that so does everyone else as they always come on the servers without complaining.

There has been talk of another custom server but it takes some organising then someone has to run it too.

Also there are so many mods out there that are good we couldn't run them all at once and since other people who are happy for us to use there servers run these mods we don't need to. We jump around all sorts of servers because they have different features then come back to our own when we get tired of the mods. Seems like the right way to do it to me.

As Wags says TDM is OK but that's as far as it goes and I don't really like HQ as most people will know if I'm in TS and HQ comes on. S&D requires tactics, patience and skill, TDM you can get away with pretty much non of those if you know how to play the game as my friend who had never played it before proved. If you want chaos then you should be playing FEAR online.

i agree and i think thats wat wags jnr was getting @ too not changing the server but maybe running 2

[Cataclysm_J]

I'd like a custom maps server but I'm not too sure if I like the idea of modding it, only cos theres so many out there already modded, but still its up to Villan.

[Wagsjunior]

Or it's just an idea to have 2 servers. one with mod and custom maps.
and another so you can save yall stale vanilla

[r1ncewind]

im sure if the majority of members want a cod2 custom server then the clan admins will look into it like they did before with cod1.
i myself have got the time to do it but its also having the technical grasp of it, which sadly i miss. :-(

im stuck in the middle on this one as i dont really enjoy the mods, but think new maps are good.
as a clan we need to try and cater for everyone and i dont think TDM is enjoyable for most of us.
i would say s&d being top, followed by HQ. CTF and domination are too repetitive and bore me to shit myself.

i would like to see one cod2 server added for custom maps which get changed monthly. no mods. and using s&d, CTF and HQ rotating.

[BuLLiTT]

here's my pennys worth :) Villan used to run a very succesful custom maps server that was imho a very welcome change from vanilla cod, the problem is it takes a lot of time for whoever takes it on to keep it running (not to mention the know-how!), so unless some one has the aforementioned requirements we are going to have to go on the scooby bus for something a bit different. The trouble is as well, not everyone will like certain mods/maps and a lot of the modded servers tend to end up being TDM and rather frantic...OK for the 'younger' members but potentially stroke inducing for some of the....more 'advanced' members :). I agree with Rince that I have the time at work sometimes but not the techy knowledge I'm afraid altho I have a m8 in the DAD clan who i think is admin so I might tap him up.

[Maggot]

I too like the idea of resuming the custom maps server (both for cod1 and 2). I'm less keen on the mods (though sprinting is always welcome on the larger maps :p ). We've certainly seen some fantastic maps out there and it'd be nice to be able to play them on our own server where we could kick the more dubious players......

I'm also with the opinion about tdm which I find tedious very quickly. (it's ok if there's maybe 5 people playing but above that it's just a spray fest - loud and dull)

CTF is ok but I'm more a S&D/HQ man by choice.

I'd be happy to assist in the running of such things, but like others I lack any technical know how (as you may have noticed).

[Cataclysm_J]

I have a basic understanding of such things (We had an ExG server for a period of time which I just about learnt to use then we got rid of it, not enough demand really) and would be willing to help but I wouldn't like it to be modded. A clean custom maps server would be nice. Also people abuse mods.
