Second Counter-Strike Server Suggestion

[manofphat]

Yo guys!
For those who are on the forum often you probably got several hints that we're planning on starting up a second Counter-Strike Source server. There are several ways we can configure it but I want to choose the option that'll be most beneficial for the community so lets hear it. What do YOU want!?

[Krythos]

REVERSE GG DEATHMATCH! it was wonderful just before we got the 2 tf2 maps up, and Ill make GGNR maps that will be exclusive to the NR ggdm server, if you want to put them in winston :P ill make sure they are loads of fun for death match XD

[EyeMaster]

Awpless for noobs? I'm happy with the one we got running now, I don't think I'd join another configuration.

[manofphat]

Having a second server with the exact same setup we have now is a possibility for sure. No one shy away from suggesting that

[Stremes]

yea.. for me its fine just the way it is

[Krythos]

well eye, we had a gg DM running wonderfully before tf2.
**Auto-merged Double Post**
booooo on anything thats not GG DM :P

[Stremes]

maybe have one with the old maps like dust and chateau and stuff like that, for the people that still enjoy a good round of chateau.. like me

[Krythos]

booooooooo stremes. allthough chat would make a good GG DM map mabye >.> XD

[Stremes]

haha stuck on a DM are we?

[Krythos]

I want to have a good gun game server to play on, actually, but gungame Deathmatch is severely fun on the right maps.

(right now I play on a quite laggy 32 person reverse GG DM. loads of fun, but its too laggy)

anyone who likes gungame usually likes gungame deathmatch more, since you dont get stuck on pistol, pistols last. and you dont have to wait for a respawn, since its deathmatch.

also, GG DM gives an added sense of, ok your probably going to be shot in the back sooner or later from a respawner. but hey, its all good.

[Stremes]

i will admit that GG DM is fun but after a while its not the same as playing an objective based T/CT round.

[Krythos]

yes, but thats why it wouldnt replace the normal game.

chat dust and all of those are very one sided unless BOTH sides are working very hard as a team, and pubs dont like that, so.

also if you notice, how often does CS maps get played on NR, because of the lack of time thats needed for them, this is mearly because people like games like dust2 too much. I am mearly asking for something thats not the normal game, so we have choices, and seeing as how I am pretty sure winstons going to set the game up still to vote, putting a server that has dust chat and the likes, they still would not see the light of day. given votes for the usuals, and if you made a normal server with just them in it, no one would join it

[mfkr]

gg dm with custom maps only.

[Krythos]

well what I would find as the optimal map would be Reverse GG DM custom maps only no voting, rather the voting for removing or adding gg maps would be done on the forums, which would bring more activity to the forums and see what people like etc.

[Stremes]

yea i guess i see your point.. its too bad tho

[ToKken]

In my opinion Krythos has a good point. I haven't been around long so I don't really have a say but... NR already have an amazing regular server that everyone loves.

Gungame sounds intense. Then again the 4 extra people aren't bad.

[Krythos]

tokken, do you know what gungame is? if not go join a gungame server, or a reverse one (I like these better) it helps you get used to ALL the guns, and is wonderful for pratice.

[theunderking]

Personally I really hate gungame. So i would choose a server with a more conventional option set like our main cs server.

[Krythos]

aka, just more space for you, right underking?

[Entropy]

Im thinkin the second server should include all maps in rotation, and possibly awpless. The server we have now could run strictly cal maps.

[DeathSniper]

GGDM with the custom gg maps.

Make for a helluva lotta action and fun!

[Doolittle]

I'd like to NOT see the maps that are on server 1, on server 2.

Awpless would be nice. or a descent AWP map !

No rank. <--- can't remember the last time I played where the guy ahead of you wasn't scared of loosing 3 points for rushing blindly for the sheer fun of it all !

Bet mod

VOTES ! /votekick /voteban /voteslap and any other fun votes /votefire /votefreeze /votedrug /votemute
Knife and Pistol round voting <-- I've seen it before where it asks "should the next round be pistols/knives only?" Yes/No

All Talk when dead

[Krythos]

GGDM with the custom gg maps.

Make for a helluva lotta action and fun!

if you read my post before DS. I will be making alot of our GGDM maps if we go GGDM. so dont worry, we will have a shitload of custom GG maps. (all my maps willstart with GGNR_ when I make them, so EVERYONE will know they are NR only)

[null]

I would like to see a reverse GG server, myself. Nothing quite as fun as ownin' your buds in a game've GG, I should say. It can get intense, but it's always in good fun, and it's a departure from the normal way of things. Not sure I care for the DM style, but I can't really argue against.

As for the cal map only server, I can't say I like that idea at all. I tend to hate playing cal maps on pubs, due to the fact that not many people know what the hell they're doing on'em. Just don't find'em well suited to pubs.

And the awpless bit. Next thing y'know, we'll be banning smoke and auto-snipers, too. I rarely ever awp, but I don't have any real problem with them, whatsoever.

*shrug* Just my two cents.

[Krythos]

I like the voting idea, and the pistol voting. it would be fun on a reverse GG DM. end up having a huge knife fight to win >.> lol

[theunderking]

aka, just more space for you, right underking?

Hey now, lets not get bitter. I'm just saying what i'd prefer.

aka "Damn right peasant!"

[Krythos]

whoever said I was bitter, just cuz your only making us look like a one trick pony >.> lmao. but then again, thats life right? XD

[DeathSniper]

I think ggdm nostats is the best ;)

Yeah Krythos, but my intention was a hint at some of the other maps that were put onto the prior ggdm server :)
*cough* alienz, sewers, bloodbath... :D

[manofphat]

Yeah I liked the maps that we had on our last GG DM server.
I think Gush Crusher would like to see the GG DM server back again too lol

[ToKken]

tokken, do you know what gungame is? if not go join a gungame server, or a reverse one (I like these better) it helps you get used to ALL the guns, and is wonderful for pratice.

Ok I just noticed this post now..... I don't want to raise hell but your talking to me as if I'm a hardcore nub. Of course I know what a Gungame server is.... Titties N Beer has great GG servers. I was just letting everyone know my opinion. I never said No to gun game. I said Intense, maybe I should have been more specific but "intense" in anyway doesn't sound like I am putting GG down....Who wouldn't want to play on an "Intense" server?

To be honest I am a Former CSS player and I am returning now from a really long break. Wasting my time with WoW:redface:

Sorry, Your reply to me actually pisses me off.

[Crayola]

put every mod possible onto the server (include admin ones)

[MiNdWaRp]

Superhero mod server man. That shit is BOMB!

[gOOCH]

surf

[FLeX]

"put every mod possible onto the server (include admin ones)" maybe you could put on the music mod.(type music and you can choose trance/rap/rock) The defuse mod(pick the right wire and you defuse under 2 seconds). Bet mod.

A smart idea would just replicate the normal one and add on as we go if there is high demand for a certain thing. Like have one of those hourly announcements like "have any suggestions on what to put on the server?" northernresistance.com. yadayadayada

it'd be sick if it was possible to get players only in cal to join the server. so like they have to be verified through zblock auth or whatever but there probably isnt something like that.

[cujo]

surf has a pretty harsh learning curve, although i wouldn't mind surfin again >:]

i still remember n00b cries of "WTF... why am i falling?!" and "what do I dooooo?"

[Krythos]

hahahahaha, I think we have all been in that position cujo.

[manofphat]

I've added the poll.
I'm hoping to have the server up by tomorrow night so get your votes in quick!

[DeathSniper]

TnB has a laggy ass gg server :P

I VOTED FOR REVERSE GG DM - BE COOL LIKE ME AND DO THE SAME! :p

[Krythos]

no arguement with me there DS. reverse GG all the way

[SharpShooter]

We had a Reverse GG DM server before and it was always dead unless all of us got in there and got it going then the second we would leave it would be dead again. If you want a server where you don't have to go and grab a pile of friends to go and get decent game going I suggest that we go with either the exact same thing as what we have now or a CAL rotation so that we actually get a good group of players in the server that will be there when you feel like playing.

[gOOCH]

gg dm will be popular for 2 weeks most then die
id enjoy a server with smaller maps, aim like maps, where guns are already on the floor

[Wesley Crusher]

A pure custom map server, no stats.
Maps like speedball, awp_india, aim maps, scout knives, jump maps, surf maps.

[fly]

i 2nd wes's idea

[EyeMaster]

Hey, I just thought of something... how about a Dust2 server all the time, since it's playign way too much on the other server...

[manofphat]

Hey, I just thought of something... how about a Dust2 server all the time, since it's playign way too much on the other server...

ouououuuououuo

[manofphat]

looks like GG DM is the winner for now.
I'll hopefully have the server up for tonight

[gOOCH]

wowwowowowwowowowowowowoww

[The Killing Joke]

All of us in the "CAL Match Only" and "Duplicate our Current Settings" vote groups (pending their agreement) would like to change our vote to "Make a couple adjustments", to offset your voting, and remove the option of "GG DM".

/chant

VETO! VETO! VETO! VETO!

/end chant

[gOOCH]

ya rly its like the other 62% just dont want gg dm

[The Killing Joke]

I do believe that's why they didn't vote for it - think about it: the other three options all ask for a generally 'normal' server, while the fourth option asks for a mod that's completely different. The vote is skewed, if you ask me.

It should have been a two-tiered vote, if you ask me - "Normal Server vs. GunGame Server", and then "Maps and Settings". If you look at the numbers now, we have 13 people who wanted a normal Server, and only 8 who wanted GunGame.

(I should just give up arguing now - anybody who voted for GG is only going to piss and moan anyway.)

[manofphat]

actually yeah your right. I should have noticed that

[addon] alright, for now I'm going to set the server up as 24/7 dust2 until we discuss what should be done with the server

[EyeMaster]

Wow! I hope the people will be happy and stop doing RTV for Dust 2 all the time now...

[The Killing Joke]

Can I vote that we change this to a 24/7 Dust 1 Server?

:))

[manofphat]

no lol

[WiseGuy]

did we already try ther GG DM server thing and it failed, twice?

[Calamity Gundam]

ZOMBIEMOD plz :D

[manofphat]

ZOMBIEMOD plz :D

sounds scary lol

[EyeMaster]

I love zombie mods. Only problem is that they are hard to populate. (way more fun that GG, for you GG lovers...)

There was a zombie mod for Italy, where the CT's would have 16000$ and the T's were zombies. It was great!

[null]

I had thought the GG server idea never panned out because of lag issues. Seem to recall there being lots of complaints of lag when the private, pub, and gg servers were full, or nearly so. Could be wrong there, though.

[Krythos]

GG is fun, and it helps you get all your guns up, and the only reason the gungame never took off was because it remained dead. GG is no fun with a few people. and bots were never put in to compensate. and allthough that yes, bots are not as fun, they still help populate the server.

also, if you think that a reverse gg DM lags... I have NEVER seen a zombie mod NOT lag, not once. since zombie mods are not fun unless your fighting 20 zombies with like 10 players (so the zombie mod servers are usually big player bases, and the zombies are usually all bots) and having all those players is severely laggy.

the fact is, is that those of you saying that a GG would die fast is because you never give it a chance to populate we have had a GG server twice for what, mabye a month at most each, without many bots put in, so when players did decide to join, they had little if any kills before the rounds restarted, or that because it was always on dust 2 or something, the maps were too big for the small ammount of people.

those are the reasons the gungame did not take off, not that people dont like gungames. because about 75% of the servers around now are GG.

[Keegan]

REVERSE GGDM!!!! SO GOOD!

It lets me get my UT fix while still playing CSS. Mmm... instant respawn....

Or a Zombiemod. Love those even more.

[Domi]

I say we get a Headshot only Deathmatch server going... would be super awesome and make for a good warm up before hopping into the other server or off to a scrim heh

[manofphat]

The fate of CSS #2 is still undecided here guys!
It's up for grabs to anything!

[eclipse]

Isn't it shown as a 24/7 dust server

[manofphat]

yeah but I just put that up for now until we come up with something better

[trapster]

hmm.... since we always "RTV" every "cs_" on the pub and will always vote for nuke/d2/inferno and cbble all the time. why don't we make it "24/7 Cal map rotations w/ cbble"?? Everyone seems to like "de_?" maps anyways. just a suggestion.

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Personally, I would like to see a few custom maps to change it up a bit. And, perhaps even a different Mod or something. I dunno.... but we should decide soon.

[eclipse]

I'm with trapster, a cal map rotation server with a few extra custom maps would be awsome. The main maps that are played are dust2, cbble and inferno anyway

[manofphat]

I think that if we were to do a CAL map rotation we would have to stay away from customs (minus mill, fire, contra, villa etc)

[Crayola]

what other custom maps are there?

[manofphat]

www.fpsbanana.com

[trapster]

dang! thats a lot of custom maps. something with awp would be nice :P

[eclipse]

007 maps might be neat, but you'd have get a gernade launcher

[Crayola]

I think that if we were to do a CAL map rotation we would have to stay away from customs (minus mill, fire, contra, villa etc)

i dont get the point of this post then...

[manofphat]

I mean except.
So we couldn't do customs with the exception of those maps

[Crayola]

hence "cal maps"

[manofphat]

a cal map rotation server with a few extra custom maps would be awsome.

I was responding to this post Phil and I included those other maps because I knew someone was gonna ask

[Krythos]

well seeing as how the normal server just is only cal maps anyway, wouldnt it be better to make the main server cal only maps and the second server custom maps? that way we dont have 2 cal only map servers

[gOOCH]

ok rly guys, css is not growing, its dying, so lets do without a second server cause we really dont need it

[cujo]

CSS as a pub is shrinking as more online multiplayer games are coming out. The only real space it has for expansion anymore is as a competitive game.

But I'm a diehard fan of CSS! >:]

[fly]

make is a custom map server like scoutz n knives.... or normal cs with betting and ninja mod, tracer mod and betting

[Knight Templar]

4th TF2 server tbh

I feel bad kicking people to join the server.

[Fabulous D]

yeah drop it like its hot...

[manofphat]

So what do you guys want instead?
TF2 server with custom maps?
TF2 server with instant respawn?
Not interested in Crysis
UT3 will be up sometime next week
CoD4 that's not hardcore random?

[Fabulous D]

tf2 custom

[MaLeK]

Tf2 custom sounds good

[WiseGuy]

yea i could try out TF2 custom

[The Killing Joke]

/signed - TF2 Custom (Wow, didn't I ask for this before? I believe there was a 'poll' around here somewhere...)

:))

[Knight Templar]

What does custom mean? Moar different maps? I guess that would be ok, i'm kinda tired of Granary

More slots is all I was looking for.
