Remove zombie/meme modes
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 8:32 am
The server is new, unfamiliar to most tg players and only up 2 nights a week. Do we really need to waste entire rounds on that stupid zombie mode or other meme badmin modes that depart so much from the core gameplay of CM? And what's up with that zombie virus? I was bitten and was still up and running after 30 minutes when I killed myself out of boredom (I found out later that you're supposed to let your team mates kill you as soon as you realize you're infected because there's no cure, dunno why since it takes so long but whatever).
Unless you play for the entire weekend uptime, you will realistically be able to play 4-5 rounds at most from start to finish (each round being 1+ hours long). This is barely enough to familiarize yourself with the roles, the map, the utterly different gameplay and interactions and so on. Don't really need rounds where you finally start to think you understood basic tactics just to throw it all out because it's "meme mode", the caves are empty etc. etc.
You also can't really expect people to learn and follow chain of command and squad gameplay if the meme mode requires them to ignore those and just run wherever the badmin announcements tell them to.
I understand it must be boring for admins and mentors to always see the same rounds playing in the same ways, but that's CM, it doesn't need "events" and shit to spice it up unless it already turned boring on its own, surely not now that the server is basically on trial run and people are just getting used to it.
