NEOTOKYO - HL2 Source Mod

[Snokio]

This is a big opportunity here for new blood.
 
Whitey can you make sure we get the dmw forum address displaying more regularly?
 
We also need to get a section up

It's already displayed in the main chat and the top left of the screen
 
Personnely, I think it's too early for it to have it's own section as the server has only been online for one week, of course thats my own opinion

I also downloaded from Gamershell and it went really fast.
Got to say that a few people did ask if we were recruiting so I gave them the link to our forum (I know, we don't recruit but if they get here they'll read it).
 
There also seem to be quit a few regulars that return to the server as I've found out.
 
Got to say I like the gameplay alot and need to get the hang of it a bit more with a few kits.
A warning for people using the 3rd kit, if you use the smokegrenades, your teamm8s can't see through it if they have another kit. So give a warning first before using them.
 
Still, I downloaded the game Saturday, played it Saturday-evening untill Sundaymorning 03.00 and played again Sunday afternoon and evening.
 
Enjoyable and tactic game.

I had a solid d/l from gamershell by the way.. I hit >2mb and got it in like 7min. would recommend you get the files from there if you need them.
 
NF

I downloaded from gamershell at a solid 56Kb/s as my internet was being shared with 5 other computers.
After the first 5 hour download i installed it to the wrong place, me being a numpty downloaded it to run and not save, so i didnt another 7 hours of overnight downloading as i couldnt find my temporary files!
On the bright side.. Im ready to play. :yahoo:

cracking games yesterday ! Should be on tonight for a bit before some cod :flirty:

Are we going to make one of our servers private? It seems that people have already figured out how to exploit the team play aspect and frag hunt away with that gert big AWP style gun. :eyebrow:

I have had a couple of really great tactical games so far but many have also been frag fests.

Thoughts?

[DuVeL]

Some excellent info on the game, here; LINK
 
BTW, a privateserver might be nice to learn people on the how and what, so /agree...

[delankster]

:thumbsup2: would be nice to have a private server night so i / we can learn more without being killed inside the 1st 10 sec's

One thing that could be done is: at the beginning of the round someone volunteers or we appoint the "Ghost-carrier".
He/She will be calling the shots through-out the round. These orders should obviously be obeyed  :narnar:

That way there is no confusion as to who is heading towards the Ghost and who will be covering and so onââ,¬Â¦.

I did notice (did this myself also) that at the beginning of the round people seem to just spread out...some will run off to the left other to the right and others head for the ghost.
This should really be coordinated. A caller or the "ghost-carrier" should let us know how many people he needs around himââ,¬Â¦and he can send the remaining players off to provide some cover or flank the enemy.

In general I think we just have to figure out how to best coordinate all the players. If we can come up with a plan at the beginning of the round and make sure everyone knows what the plan is, hopefully people will follow 

Even though we are all new to the game, I have noticed that we tend to only start using coms once we have the Ghost. We should start getting used to using coms through out the whole match, from spawn time till death.
Splitting up into Alpha Bravo Charlie at the beginning of the round and ensuring each team knows which role they have to play that round should help things along.

As the Ghost-carrier we should try and use player names as often as possible. If the ghost knows he has James and John close to him, he can specifically say: John, 1 enemy 20 meters SW. James 1 enemy 15m NE.

That way both players know it is down to them to provide cover/protection rathern then james/john assuming somebody else might do it.

It's still early days yet. I'm sure our communication will improve as we get to know the in's & out's.

Cya on the server! :yahoo: :boxing:

Would it work if we used the actual ranks that are in game somehow?, ive played when there as been, for arguments sake, 2 luitenants, a few corporals and the rest privates, would it be a good idea to have the highest ranked player(s) to lead the team? this would be good for example if there were 2 luitenants then one could take bravo team and the other alpha? you see where im going with this? :g:

also, in order to earn your rank you have to play well, so you would always know that the players leading the team would be more than likely good at the game itself, just a thought

[T-Bag]

I haven't played the game. Still "borrowing" internet at the moment. However If it is centred around the ghost is there a way to get the game to pick a random player each round to be nominated leader (and either pick someone to get the ghost or have it themselves).
Many of the admin mods in CS:S seem to have enough powerful features to do things like this if it was wanted. Are there any server admin tools for this yet?

[DuVeL]

Actually, I think the one picking up the Ghost needs to know how to use it and needs to have one of the faster kits (or in some cases the heavy).
Auto-assigning can be troubling as some publics still don't use VC's.
 
Last night we had a few guys not covering the Ghostcarrier (publics).
While DA and Acid were only covering me with the Ghost, the most off the squad would just try and flank everytime.
 
We need to set some rules like;
-Cover the Ghostcarrier;
-When the enemy has the ghost, try and retrieve it.
 
And another thing, if a private picks up the Ghost, he gets points for it so he can rank up. So, it's not only for the higher ranks.

I enjoyed it last night

We had some good games and there were a couple of pubbies on there that were real keepers.

I'm sure Blunt noticed them too. Neotokin (?) or someone would be worth looking out for and Axon too.

Let's keep an eye out for them.

Nice idea on the ranks Sparko but I have to say that I was the highest rank for a while there and didn't have a clue.

PS. As an aside, Section Head or not, when Blunt's rank turned to 'Rankless Dog' I thought I was going to wet myself with laughter.

Yeh, why did it change to that?
 
Also, maybe we have have a map run around session?
