3v3 shrub deathmatch

i think there should b a 3vs3 shrub deathmatch ladder instead of a 3vs3 osp objective

neat.

Maybe you meant "in addition to" rather than "instead of"

The 3v3 osp objective ladder is as much fun as I've had playing this game in a while. You know, this game is sort of based on the objectives and all. I'm all for your shrub dm ladder, but not at the expense of mine ;p

affirmative

i also say the OLTL ladder should be shrub.

well considering there were more teams in the Shrub league then there currently are in the OSP league both of your suggestions make a lot of sense.

What I would like to see is a shrub/osp hybrid. Take OSP functions such as the colored crosshair, elimination of things like crosshair pulsing and muzzleflash and so on, the readyup system from OSP (the shrub one is pretty poorly done), the timeouts from OSP, the speclock and add them to shrub.

Or conversly take things like the ability of any class to drop weapon and pick up a new one, mines, grenade packs, goomba kills and a few other shrub features and add them to OSP.

Thoughts?

Sounds good. I'm not sure which would be easier, adding shrub features to osp, or adding osp features to shrub, but you'd have a pretty kick ass competition mod imo if someone accomplished that. If you did this:

Shrub would be complete as a competition mod. And of course add to it, the option for WTV, but Piss mentioned they were close already to making that part work.

it wouldn't matter adding settings to shrub, i dunno bout ne1 else but i like shrub just the way it is, and thats y htere should a b 3vs3 shrub deathmatch

You're misunderstanding the suggestion. He didnt suggest changing settings within shrub, we're talking about adding some nice competition related settings that will help make shrub a more competition friendly mod, such as osp is. We're not talking about changing anything within shrub itself.

Exactally. I'm talking about adding things that make the actual competitions run smoother. Here's a quick run down of the things I'd like to see and why:

ReadyUp Feature more like the OSP feature: Yeah shrub has a readyup feature but if you have warmup damage on and a bunch of people with no self control the feature is useless.

Timeout Option: Shit happens and its nice in OSP to be able to use 1 timeout per match/round in case someone has connection problems or whatever.

SpecLock: Obvious reasons. Its nice to have your 7th ready and waiting on the server in case of a problem...This also helps MINIMIZE the need for timeouts.

Now the rest are just personal preference things that you may object too because they "change the game"

Colored Crosshairs: White crosshairs blend in with some map textures expecially with brighter configs. Colored crosshairs (and even more variety with crosshair types) makes it easier to pick out exactally where your crosshair is sometimes.

Crosshair pulsing: The crosshair pulse is fucking pointless. If you've played the game long enough you don't need an indicator to tell you when your gun is starting to get inaccurate. The pulse is just annoying and distracting especially to players not use to it.

Muzzleflash and other MINOR cvar additions: some of the cvars that OSP has added help raise FPS and reduce distraction without really changing the game.


Now adding these options to shrub is MUCH more feasible then adding shrub options to OSP since rhea and the rest of the gang at http://www.orangesmoothie.org have pretty much stopped supporting RtCW.

shrub is popular, will attract a ton of teams if u can findsomthing that sounds good

affirmative

Keep talking, get some more info in here. I wouldn't mind starting up a Shrub 3v3 ladder... not death match tho, go to GameCloud if you want that . Shrub is definately popular as is OSP, but a hybrid is most-likely impossible to happen this late in the game. The best bet is to try for one in ET, but Bani's ETPro has already covered that pretty much.

Anyways... keep posting. I will talk to admins about it, but it looks promising

asf would add 5 teams to this ladder .....alone . do it' get to plane if you want to live! {in my best arnold voice}

x can field about 3-5 teams of 3 v3 shrub dm

I'll get with SeaDawg about this and we'll discuss feasability.

feasability is nice...

DM = one live or would you want more? Just would like to know exactly what you all would like. It would be your ladder so you better put up some suggestion so i dont screw it up if we do it.

Deathmatch = no map objectives, just skull the other team. We'd want 3-5 lives.

3 would be cool.

SeaDawg, do you want to coordinate the 3v3 Shrub ladder, or is it ok if Me and NiteSwine ( 3v3 OSP ) do it? Its up 2 you... hell all of us can do it if you want.


Also, going to talk to vix3n to get anouther vote up for all TWL members stating: How many lives do you want for a potential RtCW Shrub 3v3 ladder?

Options:
-Unlimited
-1
-3
-5

Should be up next time i get ahold of her, or if she sees this post ;p

We can work together np.

awsome or a shrub oltl thatd b kewl too

i'm sayin 3 lives dm and i got a good list of maps we could use that would work great for dm.

is this ladder gonna happen?, and what about putting the oltl ladder to shrub

hmmmmmmmm

We have been planning an OLTL 3vs3 Shrub. Nite and Mortal have that about ready to go, I think.

If you think we want to drop the OSP OLTL and make it 5v5 Shrub OLTL, that'd be cool. THen we could make 3vs3 DM.

Ideas?

i would like to see this....pursuit thought that the last 3v3 was shrub then found out it was osp on the first match and canned it.

oh also... i dont care if its deathmatch or obj...the nice thing about obj is you wont find someone camping on a map like upper ruins and/or hold a spot in any map thats easy to defend.... maybe a dual obj or win by skull stopwatch match would be coo.

anything with shrub is awesome to me v57

except panzers booo

the camping part is crappy but it could happen but i would like to see some maps like sub be gametype 7 without the flags so they just dont camp the sub entrance unless the allies waste a guy on an eng, or we could do like the oltl xstab servers do and have the obj maps not even have the obj but im not sure of the cmd for that. map thoughts-
assault
base
castle
chateau
depot
destruction
ice
keep
rocket
sub
wizerness
xlabs

something like this.

Max Lives 3 or 0 both are great. 3 would be something new.

yes replace osp oltl hardly anyone plays it.

shrub would atleats have 13-15 teams on it, with ease.

yup yup
