Title: Supporting a different game
Post by: smite on December 04, 2004, 09:43:30 AM
Can dMw Support another game?


I was thinking BF:1942 / Desert Combat, Halo or UT2004.

BF:1942Desert Combat is a more obvious choice as it can be very team based.


Over to you.

I am all for it. I thoroughly enjoyed Desert combat at LAN V. King of the hill and capture the flag in Halo were also superb fun.

In principle I don't have any particular problem with supporting a different game, but:

....before we do that I would want to ensure that we were healthy in those games we already support.  This begs the question "are we supporting the right games right now?", but that's a different debate.  Spreading ourselves across an increasing number of servers is generally not good when we do not have the active membership to support what we already have.  I am already concerned about the number of servers we run - for example, whilst things like HL2DM are 'fun' it has been detrimental to the TCS population for the last two nights.  We should be focusing on how to ensure that we get busy servers more regularly.  As our population grows then so would our ability to acticely support other servers and other games.  At the moment we could set the server up but you run the risk of being the only person on it!

My 2 cents.
