...and the surprise is...

Dear dMw Community,

For years the dMw ethos has been centred around teamwork and objectives. Although CoD4 does offer these, it has become evident that the pace of the game makes it very difficult to achieve, and even seasoned dMw members (ourselves included) find it almost impossible to sustain the approprite style of gameplay.

The Admins have come up with a plan to slow the game down leading to a better tactical experience, improved teamwork and more enjoyable gaming.

Consequently, we are proud to announce that on Sunday 15th February 2009 we will launch a CoD4 "Crouch Only" server.

Hang on, what is a "Crouch Only" server we hear you ask? Well, it means that when you move you have to be either crouched or prone. You are NOT allowed to walk or run. The initial set of server rules will be:

• No running unless under air attack (helos and aircraft) or a grenade lands near you.
• You MUST crouch or go prone to move.
• Standing is allowed (to see or fire over things) but you musn't stand and move (ie no walking with sights up to eyes)
• No Martyr
• No Last Stand
• No Rockets/Bazookas
• No Grenade Launchers
• No spawn kills - if someone spawns in front of you try to give each other a chance (difficult this one as it will happen but try to play the game)

Initially, the server will be password protected (same PW as the Private server) and all of these rules will require your co-operation but if the idea is successful then we would look to using PAM mod to help enforce the rules.

The server will appear on 77.108.129.47:28962 on Sunday - you may see it before that but we will be testing - and it will be running TDM (Team Deathmatch) as that mode seems to fit best - as we gain experience we will add in other modes if needed.

Finally, we should point out that this isn't our original idea but was seen on another clan's CoD5 server and, when tried, was found to be thoroughly enjoyable. We hope you like it and that it brings back those players who felt that CoD4 was too "run and gun" for our style.

See you on Sunday guys

Sounds interesting and I will be there for the testing stage.

How about cancelling Chopper and airstrikes all together then there is no need to run?

I reckon we should call the server "Peter".

Can you try and be a bit more constructive? Why not? What aspects don't you like? Just saying you disagree doesn't help us provide a better experience.

Have fun guys, I'm off skiing then.

[delankster]

personally i can't see it helping our cause on the ed ladder matches
but if it improves the whole gameplay experience and gets more dmw's playing then i'm all for it.

one question thou: how is it enforced ?

[TE_owner]

well it would be bad for shotguns and p90 ak74 that sort of thing but i will give it a go

[Lexander]

Sounds interesting concept, but I'm a bit worried about:
- A sniper with claymores, UAV jammer and silencer + the silence walking, these kind of players are really hard to kill even now and they might be impossible to kill in the new mode.

What kind maps would there be ? as some are so long even running annoys, can't imagine the frustration of proning the whole map and then being killed

These are just initial thoughs, need to test it out and see how it works.
  On a side note if you want slower game, why not make the spawn time like 30sec and the bomb timer like 2 minutes. That would require team work and planning to get it defused. And as being said many times with 4vs4 it is fine in every way; comms, amount of people, speed. But with 8vs8 and fast spawn times only way to win is run and kill people fast.

I think its far to early to pass judgement.

Lets give it a try before we shoot it down

One question though - Are we trying to replace CSS with COD4 or just trying to add an extra element to COD4

[Dr Sadako]

Well, I am not sure about this. I will try it out to give it a honest go. However, there are a lot of restrictions. It almost seems like it would be easier to go for a game that has those settings to begin with e.g. Ghost Recon which is a more slowpaced game.

I think the biggest (only even) problem with CoD4 in TCoD mode is the standard maps. I have said it before and here it comes again. Create a custom maps server and the problem is solved. All of the CoD4 maps are tactically sub par any CS standard map as they are made for singleplayer and not multiplayer to begin with. It is like playing CS on HL levels ... it is possible but it doesn't work well. I think it would be a much easier solution anyway.

My five,

I'll try it out, but don't think it will have the desired effect. My thoughts are people will get caught a lot by dug in players at corners etc and the game will slowly desend to either grenade-ville or camp-central.

I've been playing this on a C0D5 server for several weeks now. I sometimes pick sniper loadouts but as often pick something else. Snipers arent a problem, you work round them; I've even knifed a few :devil:

It has also some positive points this server.
As for my a completely newbie in this game.

When i join some off you into a game off COD4,i really dont know what too do.:g:
I dont see the difference between my team ore the enemy.
(No i dont need glasses im just new into this game).
I got shoot from all sides,and then im asking myself where's that came from,cos i dont know the game.

So with this server you can (atleast me) learn the ins and outs off the game.
I think it's a great opportunity for new ones to learn a bit off the game.

Just my point few.
