Nah. At least, people are forced to control an item, and that's much more in terms of gameplay depth than controlling spawns. As for switch spam, add rail reload delay and increase switch times.

Of course, now we're getting into a territory 90% of plus players marked as "do not want".

Btw, m0ve != plus with discussed modifications.

Plus is a very balanced config, that's true, but my whole point is, the gameplay itself is becoming (actually, for me, is for a very long time) increasingly stale. It's really not much more than camp+spam. There's still skill to what you do, but seriously..

I do realize that items were never a part of of E+ gameplay (except powerups and health on some configs), i see them as a tool to make playing the game more interesting, that's all. It's not like there are that many options to eliminate or, at least, reduce the otherwise common camping and spamming, since the main perpetrators are easily identifiable as insta rail, fast switch times, and general lack of motivation to move around the maps.

I realize that would change the gameplay many people are used to by now, but lately, more people are losing interest in playing, than people are getting it, so i think it's about time for drastic changes.

Only thing i'm afraid of, is, that would split the community, much like e6 did in the 'excessive-like' part of E+.

MOW, OMG!

This is NO little thing!!!
its like a CASTRATION!

What "BUG" are u talkin about?
I never recognized any bug!!!

Its such a GREAT function for the game:
to be able to drop the powerup and not to lose it.-
That gives the game more Action!

You cant stop ...at this point ...with the already existin CONFs.
I think of different gametypes ...
and some may work just over those Conf-settings.
But now you start to delete all those usefull functions/settings.

PLUS.cfg is NOT the ULTIMATE!
So start thinkin about NEW CONFs.

CRAAAAAP! :geek:

Powerups vanish after a certain time ...
and that time can be set-up in the CONF too (i think).-

Further those cmds could also be included to the rotation-file
(suggestion for e+team)...
so every server can have his own rules about DROP
AND other things (like new SIMILAR nice functions/settings)
that make the game more interestin!

And about "CTF": make another "plus"-version for it!

Edit:
You leave the server-admin no chance
to decide if they want this function to be disabled!
>Rename that new version, pls! :blackeye:

Thats the GAME!
What are u afraid of?-

Ofc it only works coz ID hasnt thought about this before!-
BUT its a KEWL and FUNNY function
that can give the game the special treat we are searchin for!!!
