another one coin, from me
National Clans ! Patriotism is a key ?
Simply. 

National thing, can improve advertisement on every country, so we need stronger positions for National's - and better system.

Making National Clan will restrict players to have freedom play on other clans, so i think there is a huge problem.

National Teams, is not attractive - cause is not ranked, it can't compare to clans, and have name team (as that means nothing serious).

Then Nationals wins, wins all country, and every on team says we play for our country, hey newcomer fight for country, with that patriotism is a way to rise and push e+ from inside very country's with unite feeling; these things sounds and brings some pride inside everyone.

Nationals must be main ranked position on e+, side by side but over clans.

Side by side with clans, involving NEW rule - if member is on Clan and on National Clan - first thing must be N-Clan and Clan on 2nd place, in that way nationals can be ranked and atractive, push e+ forward true (from inside) every country and clans stays as clans, and more this will bring more competition's on clan wars !; Clans can't propose this thing they are mixed... (and theres isn't a clan onl from one country members..). 

Can community accept this thing seriously ?

LNT lives actively since beginning (started as LT clan ...that lived on this sucky system way too shortly (until transformed to what it is now) is that means nothing as an example how good this work if it pushed seriously ? LT's are ~30, ~10 w actives...

Anyway (nwm clan or team..) Nationals must be threaded and pushed in front, cause as i see only NAT'S can have bigger potential well organized (centralized) as we see national can be only one(rule), that means all country's players enemies or not, cheaters or not, kids or seniors, is concentrated to one clean place, one main single attraction point, at every country. This will work like fireplaces, spreading e+ fire over country's.

This is what about.

the sense of being in control is (the will) to win.

controllin a map is always rewarded by increasin the score
(this doesnt make a map balanced).

u can also control balanced/symmetrical maps,
where the chances of all players are equal
(even if one player is horribly campin)!

you may play unsymmetrical maps in FFA ...
coz there are MANY targets, that one camper cannot get aware of.

if ur playin an unsymmetrical map in Duel,
campin becomes easier ...
esp. on small maps!

but all teamBased maps should be symmetrical,
unless u just want to spawn randomly and frag only (FFA in team).

Er... no. That doesn't make any sense. It's easier and more profitable to camp in symmetrical maps due to even distribution of resources and lack of significant positional advantage.

Again, no. TDM maps revolve around strategically important hot-spots (big items or intersections leading from one to another). Streamlining architecture leads to limiting possibilities and profits gained from conflicts - ergo, it promotes playing defensively.

Also, what's with you and camping? Holding key positions is important in any gametype, and good maps should definitely be constructed in a way that makes both attacking and defending hot-spots possible.

camp positions are fine in teambased maps as long as either team has equal opportunity to get to the camp site ,so no spawning in camp areas, however in non symetrical maps it does matter depending on the style of the map unless its for dueling because the spawns are random so its based upon who has better map knowledge and not aim. 

anyways this is the new ideas thread. so i guess we should keep on-topic.

Is it possible to split the map and camping stuff to a new thread?
