plant time is 5 sec and when its planted 45 sec is added. So max round time is 2min and 45 sec , not 2min-0.45sec

edit: added secs/mins so its not confusing

its more like cs, but a bit bigger.
Parent

Matias 28 Jan 2008, 18:49
smaller than cs maps imo. but more places to hide (that sux)
Parent
▼
Quzan 28 Jan 2008, 18:58
but 2 minutes is a real small time right?

if its bigger as cs.. you just get to the other side and get gunned down so it sux.. you will never do obj?
Parent

Matias 28 Jan 2008, 19:05
the ways to the bombs are shorter in cod4 than in cs, but otherwise the maps are bigger. I think that 2 mins timelimit is just ok.

Penn 27 Jan 2008, 16:14
It's the same map list crossfire have always had:

mp_vacant
mp_crossfire
mp_citystreets
mp_crash
mp_strike
mp_backlot

The skorpion SMG will be disabled
Why?
▼
Zodiac 27 Jan 2008, 15:57
Because it's unfair, ofc.
Parent

Penn 27 Jan 2008, 16:01
In it's current state, it is THE best gun in the game by a country mile.

You can kill people from any distance with a short burst and it has zero recoil.

Simply put, it ruins the game.

:: The Sniper rifles will have the increased damage dvar enabled
dvar=?
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 16:13
dvar is the name used for the PAM variables.
Parent
▼
Svepe 27 Jan 2008, 16:15
so, now always, one shot = kill?
Parent
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 16:20
No. It changes the bolt action sniper rifles to one shot one kill if you hit around the neck/head area.
Parent

juxx 27 Jan 2008, 16:35
As if snipers aren't strong enough atm, they're shit unzooming, but I'd say they're pretty much fine over distance.

ps: what's with the high falldamage :(
▼
rbnt 27 Jan 2008, 16:44
thats basically the point of a sniper... to be fine over distance
Parent
▼
Sainted 27 Jan 2008, 16:49
In cod2 you could use the sniper like a railgun, which was pretty awesome
Parent
▼
rbnt 27 Jan 2008, 16:59
what does that mean, use it like a railgun? unscoped instakill shots? :P
Parent
▼
Sainted 27 Jan 2008, 17:56
that's an accurate description :P
Parent

juxx 27 Jan 2008, 17:00
Where do you see me arguing that? Snipers don't really need any more fine tuning, leave the numberjerking to the Swedes, they love to change this game as much as they can :D

I just lol'd in my pants.
Parent
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 18:28
Snipers are strong because of the deadly bolt action dvar. The majority of PAM rule sets have had this setting set to on for about 3 releases so don't fret.
Parent
▼
juxx 27 Jan 2008, 22:48
so what do you do about the fall damage, it used to be 200-400 when we played for the qcup
Parent
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 23:07
If you mean the codqcup and not the crossfire qcup, they use completely different configs.

5 secs strat time aint good imo not much time to switch weapons or even nades :/
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 18:16
It's more than enough time.
Parent
▼
mAus 27 Jan 2008, 17:43
nice ;>
▼
cyan 27 Jan 2008, 19:00
IMO the 5 sec strat time is too little for LAN event matches :/
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 19:38
Explain why please.
Parent

cyan 27 Jan 2008, 20:05
Maybe i just had to whine about something? :P

Cnfys 27 Jan 2008, 19:40
best cfg so far, i hope clanbase and other cups and competitions will also take this one, gj
▼
Eplotic 27 Jan 2008, 20:08
5 secs strat time is not long enough, and why change roundtime from 145 to 2?
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:07
It never was 1:45

What perks settings? :oooo

And does this remove dust from maps? (like in cod2)
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:07
Yes it removes dust, it states that in the news post.
Parent
▼

It says:

":: All weather, ambient sound effects and floating bits will be disabled"

Was not sure dust was "floating bits", thats all :)

we just played a war on this and the bombtimer was pretty fucked, it was ticking like it had 15 seconds left and exploaded on 27 seconds each time. bug?
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:07
You must have your sv_fps set to 30. Keep it at 20.
Parent

Kleineman 27 Jan 2008, 22:14
what is going on with the weapon removal? when i jump the weapon gets removed?

who is his instable state of mind made this up? would really love to know why someone would even go this far to fuck a game up.
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:22
When you jump the weapon gets removed, what do you mean?
Parent
▼
vanner 27 Jan 2008, 22:26
I agree the point on strat time, 10 seconds is alot better to fully change your guns and call strats, although 5 seconds is better when playing online.
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:31
5 seconds is better for LAN you mean? If you can't change your weapon and/or grenade in 5 seconds you don't deserve to be playing the game.

Remember that once you have setup your classes, it remembers them from round to round so all you have to do is click your new weapon and/or nade, not setup the whole class.
Parent
▼
vanner 27 Jan 2008, 22:39
No i mean 10 seconds for LAN, online people will play alot of pcw's and get frustated waiting 10 seconds, at lan people will need the 10 seconds. You say people shouldn't play this game if they can't do it in 5 seconds. The fact is if someone makes a mistake then you won't have the gun you want in time and you have no time for calling strats that involve more than the words "A RUSH" :)

Obviously the clever ones amongst us (YEH ME!) actually pre-create all classes before i ready up.

just disable silencer for scorpion and its ok!

rea 27 Jan 2008, 22:31
Penn, i just checked our server.cfg and it has sv_fps on 20, any other idea why the bomb goes crazy?
▼
Penn 27 Jan 2008, 22:39
In that case i have no idea, try and find other people with the same thing.
Parent
▼
Kleineman 27 Jan 2008, 22:34
no clue, but seems to be some weird bug. its on both of the Dignitas servers. DM and TDM.

Apparently it isn't on the other modes. Sorry for the hassle
▼
chandler 28 Jan 2008, 04:55
Is there any reason for removing the OT, because as I've never experienced any problems with it.

And as ppl have said, 5 seconds strattime can be a little short, especially on LAN.

Roundtime 2 is fine, though i prefer 1:45
▼
Penn 28 Jan 2008, 19:44
PAM overtime could sometimes get stuck and never end. We decided to eliminate any delays and problems that may occur by disabling it and controlling any overtime manually via rcon.

MerlinatoR 29 Jan 2008, 04:47
5secs doesnt sound like much time, but this is not some BYOC random team lan is it. Teams have or at least should have been playing with each other and practicing for a little while- worked out attacks and defences on maps that have been chosen (or more obvious maps anyway, if listings arent released)

having maybe 3 defences and at least 3-4 attacks on each map with rarely ever having to change them randomly - you also have around 5-10 seconds before you have a secondary direction change on a lot of the maps from what I have seen, so that would give you 10-15 seconds to strat, not to mention youll probably have 5+ seconds after a round is won (I guess, if not.. oops ;))

there are a lot of CoD4 teams, a simple 5second on each round delay (ontop of the inevitable delays of any lan) anywhere time can be stolen back = good.

Summed it up nicely with that sentence. :)
