Hey there BRO-people,

of course u do a great job and I know many people from BRO by myself. But I think to stay that good u have to improve some things time after time.

First: Your Freeze-server got the 20-point-system. There are 20 points to achieve in generell and that is no fun. For example, one team is very strong and points are 11:0, then second team can achieve only 9 more points, if they are good. After that the match is over because 20 points are achieved.
So the second team got no chance to win. The whole match could stop after 1 team got 11 points. Why dont you have a point-limit like other servers have, that would be more fun.

Second: Your ctf-server is great, but has always the same maps. There could be one from BRO who looks out for some good new ctf-maps and removes or combines them with your current map-rotation. If ppl´s say they dont like the map u chose, u can remove it with another new map. After a time u will get a list of nice new maps accepted by players. With this list your server will become much greater and there will be more fun to play.
For example I like the eg_ctf1-map. I never played it, but it looks great and it isnt too large for playing, it is like the normal ctf1.

Thats it so far. I thought about posting this in the server-section, but I think the BRO-section is better. I hope u like my ideas.

So good luck and cu in Quake

Good opinions!

Agree, freeze scoresystem should be changed. No use to continue playing when u cant win anyways!
If score>50% then next_map Happy

I think Warner tried to add maps on the CTF server, but everytime one of those maps came up, ppl diconnected or got disconnected.
Links to maps were posted and announced in motd for everyone to follow for faster downloads.
Didnt help!

Empty servers just aint that fun!

Yes I see, but it is a damn pity, because ctf gets boring this way. It would be nice to fresh it up a little. There might be a lot of great maps, but nobody seems to be interested in it (dont mean bro-people, but players who play ctf).

Haha, oh believe me Iz Im not that arrogant to think Bro has to change their maps, because I get bored. I thought you know this is just an idea of mine, not an order Happy

I gave an example in my first post, eg_ctf1-map. As I said I never played it, but it looks interesting. The problem in my point of view is that many maps are to large for ctf. They might be good for 12/12 but if u got less players it is only crap to play this maps. I think the best size of a map is related to ctf1 or ctf2. So maps should be chosen wisely. This isnt a post like BRO has to change it, because it is their server. Im willing to watch out some other maps for beeing playable in ctf, but I know that BRO has a lot of players who are interested in improving their clan-stuff, so Im not interested in undermining their authority here. They should decide to do it or not. One player from Bro told me yesterday that Warnerman tried it in past and didnt suceed, because of players leaving the server when new maps come, as you said Iz. So maybe it isnt possible to realize. Maybe my only chance is to open my own server with new maps and start some advertising. Laughing

Anyway thx Adler for this map-collection-link !

You being arrogant never even struck me. Its good to have ideas about things. Sorry if I offended you in any way.
I missed the eg_ctf1 mapsuggestion in your first post :oops:
Silly me.

I was just trying to get you to be more specific about wich maps exactly that you like so I could go check them out. Some time ago I was looking for new maps, but imho there are only one suitable of every 25 maps. After some hours I just didnt think it was that fun to dl and try new maps out no more Happy Others do this better than I do anyways.

ThreeWave is Imho a good start for introducing 'new' CTF maps. Many ppl have them already!
For FFA and TDM a good start would be the +/++ maps.
Nice Adler!

Unfortunally to add a new map in rotation seem to scare ppl off just like enabling PB does!
Mullder allowed me to try having a 'custom' server (some different maps in rotation) up but it got empty everytime a custom map was loaded. Empty servers aint no fun. Not when the other ones is full.

Im sure there are gona be new 'tests' made with having new maps in rotation of some BRO servers again. This do happen once in a while Happy

Happy New Year!
