Why the clan server is bad.
Comments

i have a problem with clan matches, my computer is quite slow so after the first match it takes quite a while to load the screen, however there lies my problem, becasue of the slow loading time, by the time im at the screen, the second round has already AUTOMATICALLY started, since u cant rejoin after nor can u leave the room, i have to click rejoin, thus causing a dc. im sure im not the only one with this problem, so it would be nice if the second round started after a little l8er, like wait 30 seconds or so, gives time to load and talk with teamates, then auto matically countdown after 30 seconds or so

"Screw it, let's modify the game itself just because my computer is slow"
Of course they will sweetie, of course they will. -
C'mon, it is common sense dude.
well it doesnt have to be just waiting time, it can be incorporated with the half way storage time, and team strats time.
also i think it would be cool idea to instead of shortning the rounds, use a couple seconds to pick spawn points, on the teams -

And you got all these ideas because your computer is quite slow...

-allow joining while the game is in progress
they can only spawn during the strat/freeze time. Only people from the same clan.
-adjust round timer
1:45 is good. Add an extra 5 or 10 seconds of "strat time" before the round.
-friendly fire
full would be nice, whatever the other versions have is a start.
-randomize spawns
makes the game more balanced and competitive.
-remove names showing up when the crosshair is near the model.
would allow smoke grenades and flashbangs to work as advertised. Also you wouldn't be able to spot people hiding at corners and stuff just by pointing your crosshair there. Also due to a strange bug with the coding, its possible to see player names through stairs/wooden objects and even walls.
-allow passwording of rooms on clan server
would allow clans to restrict who can enter their room.
-allow spectator slots on clan server
would allow for broadcasting of matches via wogl or other services/individuals.
-remove or otherwise shorten the kill cam
keeps the game moving faster
-Allow "Mutation Mode" stacking
opens up new strats and tricks for more advanced teams
Just trying to keep this on every page... -

First, the short list of what the clan server does right:
-Forces room name to be the name of the clan.
-Auto switches at half time.
-Forces even teams.
Things the clan server does wrong:
(Some of these might require changes to the game)
- Can't rejoin at halftime or during the game.
Things happen. Not everyone out there has the best equipment and the game itself is often buggy and crashes at random. By locking out a player for the rest of the game you've taken what might have been a good close 5v5 and made it a waste of time 5v4. No matter what the outcome is neither team is going to be happy. Also, sometimes people have off days, or they have to go due to something urgent in their life. I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed for a member from the same clan to join in at halftime.
tl;dr: If someone drops or has their game crash, let them rejoin during the half. If someone else from the clan wants to join, let them join at halftime.
- Spawns are fixed.
When you spawn on the first round of the half, thats where you'll spawn for the rest of the half. This means that if you're playing at B and you spawn far away from it, you'll always get there late. With the consistent spawning it puts teams at a disadvantage and its not something that you can plan for. If you're on offense and you have to most god awful spawn that puts you so far away from A site, how can you rush A? The defense will always beat you to those choke points. A random spawn system adds more strategic depth to the game and ensures competitive balance.
- Round times are too long
I've spoken to many competitive players about this and we've all come to the same conclusion. 2:30(:25, w/e) is far too much time for a single round. The game plays slow enough as it is, rarely do teams run out of time. At times its just boring to play, let alone spectate as the last remaining attacker walks all the way from long A to B site on Black Widow in order to plant. A shorter time would be much better, and perhaps 10 or so seconds of "freeze time" so that teams can coordinate on vent or type in team chat. I would suggest 1:45 of playing time and :10 seconds of freeze time at the start of the round. Its not a major change, just start the round with 1:55 instead of 2:30.
- No friendly fire
Does anyone go into the clan server intending to lose? Even awful games like Combat Arms have friendly fire enabled in their clan server. Other versions of CF allow a checkbox for pubs to have friendly fire. No reason why our version shouldn't have it enabled on the clan server. It forces players to pay more attention to the game instead of just spraying bullets at anything that moves. Full team damage should be enabled.
Besides, then we can make cool videos like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ_L24XMn-0
All I can come up with right now. I understand that there may be internal company politics that prevent things from being changed but uh...yerp.
If you have any thing else to add, type it up nice and I'll edit it into my thread.
