Just one of those niggling questions nobody ever seems to be able to answer during play - why is the C4 timer set to thirty seconds? It often seems too short.

I think it's just to be different

it does make the game a bit quicker once the bomb is planted

Im sure it used to be 40 seconds why the change.
And especially on some maps were it takes ages
to get from one side to another. We could do with
at least an extra 10 seconds.

(Should we have a vote?) :mp5:

Ah, but would you get one or two votes with your dual forum registration?

When I last played on N42 the timer was set to 40 seconds. They'd played with it at 45, then 30, then 35, and finally settled on 40 as the "sweet spot".

Incidentally I use 40 seconds on my configs, as do my friends. Not that we play de_ maps that much at the moment

what is the setting for match play ? or can we request bomb time the same way we request a specific map to be played?

I feel the bomb time should be set to the default time used in matches

Unless there is some fancy config tool out there that can be setup for each map, no, it's universal setting and all DE maps have that timer. I think 35 is a nice compromise, 40 secs seems like forever and 30 goes pretty darn quick.

This is one of those "it depends" scenarios. If I am playing CT the timer should (preferably) be set to 60 seconds. If I am playing T it should be set to 6 seconds :-)

*bump*

Perhaps we could try mp_c4timer 35 for a while? Hmm?

(BlueBall: only 60 seconds?

)
