Lives on axis

I agree with Killer Mike. I try to hold the upper base, but after a few minutes I realize I only have 5 or 6 lives left with 10 mins to go. So I start sneaking around or goombaing. Make it 25 lives so we have a life per minute.

Haven't had any trouble, the times I've been on ECGN there've been a ton of kickass medics around I never got skulled once.

Risks are what makes the game fun. Going for the flag, trying to camp the spawn, running in the trenches with nades. You can't do anything now that is fun because you have to always be cautious of the lives left. It's not about having fun, it's about being "cautious". It makes the game too much work. It just makes gameplay frustrating and clustered. Everyone camps in the basement now to avoid dying. No one ever tries holding upper base (it's now an allied havon). When the setting was at 25 lives, you could bare to lose a life every minute without the worry of skulling. Now it's at 20, start at the beggining of the round, get panzerd in fb bunker, already down to 19. It's just too much work anymore.

I agree with this.

namloot has a very good point, now that we dont have many lives, the upper base is like a allied havon. And most of the Axis go to the basement because they are afraid they will be killed, and have to sit out the rest of the round. And nobody likes to be skulled. It has just become a noob havon now, and i just think that it should go back to the way it used to be! More fun for the reg.'s!

add another ditto.

The weenie roast and ghost stories in the WR are getting a bit boring.

problem is some of those people have gone beyond weenie roasts and have started treating it like their own catholic confessional... raping every ally as they come in the ducts... fuck that sounds disgusting :blow:

make it an even 20.. i've only been skulled once while playing axis the whole game..but 20's an even number..i like even numbers...

I am sitting on the fence on this one because I quite like to be able to skull the axis team. I agree though that camping runs directly proportional to the number of lives left so...

Ya I hate the short lives when i am the one with 19 lives but I think it is good cuz when you are attacking but not getting anywhere it keeps you going cuz you probably will skull at least 5 or 6 people to give your team an edge at the end. i still have played many 25 minute games without returning docs so I think the # of lives is perfect. If the wr is crowded, go in with the nade primed and you should get 1 or 2 with every shot. or get them panzer whores to drop in......

It says 19, but when u have 0 lives left, it counts as a life itself! So thus, 19+ 1 = 20. So if u make it 20, then it's actually an odd, we dont' want that:\

Doesn't really work when the server has 40 players on and everyone decides to camp in the basement because they don't want to lose any more lives....

by **SavageParrot** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 1:45 pm

To be fair they did all use to camp before the lives got lowered. This way at least you have a sporting chance of skulling the little venom wielding fuckers...

Lives on axis

Shell axis get more lives?
