Insurgency mod on dMw server

Well, we started on Insurgency mod last night on the dMw server. There were a few confused sounds about 'getting the game' but I think after a while most people started to get the hang of it.

After about half an hour or so we had (I think) maybe 14 or 15 people on the server which was nice.

Only problem was that the server stayed on the same map for ages until Blunt came to our rescue

Can the server be set to do a map cycle of say three maps or something?

Cheers!

Jabbs, I've already done a post in the Public Admins section, Whitey is setting it up that all admins have control on that channel.

I think this game is very good but also very scary when you first start playing.
Its difficult to work out who is on your team and TKs can be a problem early on.

With no crosshairs and the enemy having the ability to take you down from cover
things can be confusing and frustrating.

But, once you begin to learn the layout's and potential death traps the game really comes into its own
The concentration levels are really high but stick with it.

Later on last night Ranger and I were getting some nice tactics going.

So, overall I think its a good game and if you haven't tried yet give it a try.

I tried this a couple of times and was less than impressed...Tesco Value CoD4 was my 1st impression...but I'm gonna give it another go on the strength if your review.

Edit: I got admin if ever you need a mapchange or such

Edit2: congrats on your 1000th post Jabbs

I had a little run round last night, it was ok, nothing new, but I'm guessing it's a whole differant game with the teams full & co-ordinated rather than 2 v 2 & no idea what there doing (no idea for me at least)

Definitely better when at least four or five on each team. Keep trying with this one as I found it hard and uninteresting the first hour or two.

Now I'm enjoying it more and more.

Can Admins 'admin' the Insurgency server now? I know Browne couldn't a couple of days ago.

Would be nice to change maps etc or do whatever admin tasks need doing?

Each time we go on (once or twice a week is cool) we do seem to get around 6 people on.

The game works better the more players there are in the server and so it would be good to be able to encourage more like 6 a side.

I know some of here have been pretty vocal about not getting the game but it really needs to be given a go for longer. It's free after all!

I know for sure that the RCON works on the insurgency server. Also I believe that Whitey installed and got MetaMod+SourceMod up and running. So there should be plenty of admin options afaik.

Splitter! :sideways:

I have no idea what you mean by that Ron :blink:

Anyhoo, Insurgency has a learning curve and is quite different. But after 30-60 mins of gaming you start to get the hang of it - and it gets addictive :norty: So people, give it a go, and sign up if you like it!

Edit: I am sick, but will most likely be there...
