Alright folks, with the R.O.C.K.S. server going again, time to see how everyone likes the current configuration.
For those of you who never used it, R.O.C.K.S. uses all the game types (Race, Oddball, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and Slayer) in its rotation.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, so don't be shy ... thanks!
-
Half of it normal weapons (aka start with pistol and assault rifle or pistol and sniper) and normal shields and normal vehicles. Definitely no more than half heavies / stuff with tanks, shees, or ghosts (with exception of ghosts on Sidewinder).
-
- I always enjoy CTF on death island with normal weapons. Hogs and maybe some ghosts ( So your not always getting killed by tanks and banshee's ) Score 4 - 5. Normal shields & health, Limited or unlimited nades. Pretty much a standard CTF ;D
- Another thing i don't mind is slayer or team slayer on battle creek, with shotguns, probably no shields, no vehicles obviously :XD:. Limited nades, score 25 or 50 ( depends if it is slayer or team slayer )
Well that's what i enjoy :). Not sure about everyone else?
-
Cool! I'd like to see:
- Mabey if we have a CTF for Death Island, we should use only snipers or Alien weapons only.
- Hang em high, mabey Snipers only, and invisbility shields randomly everywhere
-
ok heres what ive found to be lots of fun
crazy king of the hill on gepy with standard weopons and vehicals - with shields
classic CTF on bloodgulch - but no banshees - with shields
CTF on sidewinder - anyone that was in the ROCKS scrim the other day knows the setting, they were awsome!
-
i'd probably enjoy seeing:
Timberland CTF with ordinary vehicles and weapons xD
or
Chillout Foot Race with Heavys
thinking of one but i'll need to check the map later
-
-not everyone is keen on the sniper only slayer maps, (myself included) I think that a specialist weapon like snipers would be better as team slayer so that you have the support of your team.
-I absolutely would love to see shotguns-no shields in a tight claustrophobic map like chironTL34 or something like that.
My 2c

-
At least one maps with heavies only, but no more than two of these maps. I think that heavy weapon games are quite interesting, testing your reaction speed and so on, but you wouldn't want too many of these as ROCKS should be about variety.
So I would say that
Rat Race
Team King
Rockets
and
Chill Out
Foot race
Heavies
Would be great.
-
Map: Infinity
Game Type: CTF
Weapon Set: Normal
Shield Power: Normal
Vehicles (If applicable): As many as possible
Other Settings (limited/unlimited nades, score limit, etc.): Score 10 (I like infinity CTF, and think it should be longer :P)
-
im not sure if thisa was on ROCKS before or if it is on KOS and i havnt seen it in a while...
i liked that target slayer on death island
weapon set: sniper
vehicles: ghosts, hogs and 1 tank on each side
As for other things i would enjoy is...
CTF
Blood Gulch
normal vehicles
score 4-5
normal weapons
shields normal
2 nades at start
CTF
Prisoner
score 4-5
heavy weapons
normal shield
2 nades at start
everything else has pretty much been said
-
Battle Creek
Classic Slayer Pro
Rat Race
Classic CTF, but with no shields and 400% health.
-
I think we need more juggernaut oddball games (like on BG with fuels), those are fun!
I'm a fan of the foot races on Chill out idea as well.
I say we bring back some of the custom races we had on the Custom Race Server a while ago, just for something different.
-
I like the offense-defense on Sidewinder.
-
How about slayer with shotties, no shields, and limited nades on "Dang"nation?
-
snipers 50% health no shields full invisible 1 stickie nade 50 kills limit no teems on beavercreak ..... its my favorit :D
-
Race Death island all nav
Shotties battle creek no sheilds 50 kills or 25 if indvidual
Snipers on BG or timberland
Jugernaut on BG
-
-I would like at least one map with shotguns no shield, and NO radar, for a small map. (note the emphasis on NO radar, can't stand radar. :P)
-Snipers no sheilds, probably Timberland or Sidewinder.
-The one map that was on previously with plasma pistols no shields was really fun.
-Something with pistols, maybe oddball, don't care what map.
-I can't STAND maps with just plasma pistols and the like, especially with no shields.
Those are my 2c

OH, I forgot something...
There should be a couple of individual slayer maps, like some of thr shotgun no shield types ppl r suggesting... playing in a team is fun... but sometimes u just wanna let loose on everyone in the server, lol
I know because when ppl r on ur team that u think would be fun to mess with, u cant do anything to them, cause thier on ur team and that would be breaking the rules
-
BFM has actually taken a stance a long time ago that we don't want to have any servers that are 'individual' types of map. We will always have the games set to teams, and don't have free-for-all maps anymore. Sorry to shoot your idea down :P
I'd also like to see Sidewinder - snipers, no shields.
Shotguns, No shields, Battle Creek, NO RADAR, LIMITED NADES.
Offense - defense Sidewinder, regular weapons.
Danger Canyon - Rockets, Map score of only 1-3, since it is very hard to score.
-
Hate to post twice, but heres one that was just awsome
MAP - chill out
GAME TYPE - team king of the hill
WEAPON SET - shotguns and NO nades
normally i love shields, but for this to work no shields
when i played this it was just hectic lol
and maybe a flamethower map only would be a lot of fun too, it certainly be different!
-
1. CTF with hogs only is always classic on any level.
2. No shield shotty or heavies on small maps like wizard, chill out, battle creek, rat race, and Chiron
3. Foot races on rat race and chillout with pistol and snipers :)
-
Chiron w/ Shotguns!

Who came up with the name R.O.C.K.S

Banshees
normal shields
normal wepon set
infinity
infinent grenades

Lay low on the Heavies and Plasma games...it's no fun when you can never spawn in rocket games, and the lag is unbelievable in plasma games.
We need more normal weapon spawn games. Those are truely what most people like. It makes everyone happy because it includes their favorite weapon, as well as everone elses.
You can have a couple heavy games, but make sure they aren't long lasting ones....NO HEAVY CTFs!!!!
Also, if you can...put some Banshees in a race map here and there....not sure what you'd do about the spawn though :-\
-
i'd probably enjoy seeing:
Timberland CTF with ordinary vehicles and weapons xD
or
Chillout Foot Race with Heavys
thinking of one but i'll need to check the map later
ya for timberland and also how about ffa boarding action oddball or slayer
-
[color=whiteI'd like some pistols, pistols and pistols xD[/color]
-
It's been a while since I did anything to the server, but today I removed infinite nades on a lot of maps (per popular request), and enabled the auto-balance on every map (it has to be changed for each map, times 30 ... took me a bit :P).
As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome! :D
-
Normal slayer with normal weapons on normal maps please. ::)
Oh and less heavies.
-
I love the normal weapons, especially on CTF, so any CTF game maps try to keep those normal weapons because it is a lot more fun.
Oh and don't add more pistols just for the soul purpose that Fuzion won't be able to use them. ;D
-
hmm, maybee also a full hevy in a medium map
-
Normal slayer with normal weapons on normal maps please. ::)
Oh and less heavies.
4 out of 30 maps is not going to get much lower :P
-
To be honest, I'd like to see a few more plasma-weapon games. I know they normally suck, but that's exactly the point! :siderofl:
Maybe CTF on Beaver Creek, unlimited nades off but still nades on map?
-
I personally *love* Infinty Ctf! Maybe some more Ctf, would be great ;D
-
I personally *love* Infinty Ctf! Maybe some more Ctf, would be great ;D
I love CTF on Infinity as well, but being a huge map it requires more than just 2 or 3 players per team. But once you've got at least 4 people per team, let the fun commence. d_b
How about a few no-shields team slayer games? Personally, I *LOVE* no-shields games since they gather both to the "BOOM - HEADSHOT" and the "spray away" crowds. Unlimited nades off, nades on map enabled, and pistol as well as assault rifle as starting weapons.
Edit: Three edits to fix at least the worst typos. I'm gettign old... :smly_a_wink:
-
Yes I love no shield things, hence there being several shottie or short range maps :D
-
The thing is that I don't really like shotgun games that much. For some reason it seems that the bigger the crosshairs are, the worse my aim gets. :doh: :LOL:
But having both pistol and shotgun as starting weapons sounds quite good to me. Reminds of the SWAT gametypes in H2 and H3.
-
how bout a zombie game play if possible?
-
Big maps. Normal weapons on the map. I like Pistol and Shotgun starting set. I do not enjoy unlimited grenades (except for Race). Always have to walk over the flag to bring it home (in Capture the Flag).
Capture the Flag - Death Island - Unlimited grenades off - Normal weapons set - Flag at home to score - ALL Vehicles or ONLY Chain Warthogs - Normal respawn time settings on vehicles
Slayer - Infinity - Unlimited grenades off - Normal weapon set - Flag at home to score - Two ghosts, two of each Warthog, then one of each of the other vehicles (no respawn time on the vehicles)
Capture the Flag - Timberland - Normal weapons - No need to have flag at home to score - All Vehicles (No banshees, if they even are avaliabe for the map)
-
Capture the Flag - Timberland - Normal weapons - No need to have flag at home to score - All Vehicles (No banshees, if they even are avaliabe for the map)
There are no banshees on Timberland. The map is a tad too small for them, I guess. Although it surely would be fun to have them for a change, even if only to place bets on who gets stuck in the trees the most. :LOL:
-
Should make everything regular shields and pistols or snipers. No banshees, no tanks, ghosts only on Sidewinder, and only two hogs per base if any and no vehicles on anything other than CTF. That basically covers every single good game setup of the five :P
Most importantly, Rat Race, start with pistols, team slayer to 50. Or Hang'em High or Wizard or Derelict or Chillout. Alternatively, snipers.
-
I'm seeing a lot of good suggestions :D Keep in mind though, the whole idea of the server is variety, so there's not likely to be 'more' or 'a lot' of any particular thing ;)

Shields back on for Sidwinder CTF snipers
Shivrz

Any objections? Please try the new setup first before replying ... I personally thought it would be a good idea, but did not try it myself. These people asking did :)
-
No shields on Sniper Sidewinder CTF does not work! Sorry Walker :P Before when there were shields the score was normally 3-2. I played it today and nobody scored once. It is just way to hard to get the flag and bring it back with no shields!

Ye it is hard enough to get the flag, even back to score. But with no shields, when we played earlier i dont think any1 even got out of the base.
1 frag kills them instantly.
-
banshees. i wanna take it to the air :)
-
Two requests:
1) Can you pretty please put shields back on Sidewinder CTF Snipers? Its so hard to score!
2) Could you please make it so there are two banshees again on Infinity CTF?

Can I get a raise? ;D

Me like without shields. ;D

On the matter of the shields on Sidewinder CTF..
I personally really enjoy player any type of gametype which involves snipers without shields. I honestly think it's more fun. I balances out the game. Tanks now have to be used with strategy, they aren't unkillable behemoths anymore. Same with the 'Shees, you can't just dive-bomb the bases anymore and spawn kill. You can't do things alone anymore, and expect to win.
I guess what I'm trying to say is it creates the need for a team to rely on each other, instead of playing solo. You have to have your teammates helping you in order to actually get anywhere. It gives the game a greater depth than just "point, shoot, kill." It makes it more interesting IMHO.
My two cents.

I would really like to see a zombie like game. ;D

I WANNA PLAY PHANTOMS D-:
(For those who don't know, Phantoms is basically OMG EVERYONE INVISIBLE!)
It's freakin' FUN.

Heh back when i was part of {PR} we had this on our server it made for some intresting games just be sure if you do set this then turn on the freindly players flag becuse the guy on our server turned it of so you had no clue where your own team was aswell as the other team
-
I like CTF, but it seems like it goes by too fast. Maybe you could remove the time limit, and make the score limit something like 5 or 7. Just throwing ideas out.
-
variants that i have played and enjoyed, along with a few ideas :haw:
RACE: is it possible to do all nav/ rally races b/c i rmb the old mixed race server and i liked those races a lot :winkgrin:
Blood Gulch(all nav/rally)
Hang em high (all nav)
Sidewinder (rally)
ODDBALL (normal health and shields, TEAM, 5:00 time limit)
Hang em High [normal weps] (2 oddballs)
Derelict [HW]

I was thinking CTF on icefeilds with no sheilds. Would that be fun?
-

do u mean with snipers? if no snipers then there is really no point,but yeah that sounds fun.i really wanna do a team slayer at gephoryphobia (or whatever :winkgrin: ) with banshees! lol
-
glad i found this thread because i have alot to say. btw i love the rocks server i get good ping and its a good change from racing.
I would really like to see a zombie like game.
ditto. zombies would be so cool
sidewinder sniper no shields is good but the unlimited nades is what kills it. because than people just spam nades all the time into a enemy base and there is nothing they can do about it. so i say keep no shields even though shields i feel will be better(than again i tend to go out on my own and snipe everyone like mad). but take off unlimited nades.
i have a big problem with the infinity ctf. to me a ctf on infinity is always a server killer. its just to big especially when teams are already limited to 6 each. if you do keep it at least put in more shees.
also i would like to see more games with shields. its really annoying when ever you get near someone they throw a frag and your dead, it takes no skill.
-
what about derelect with RL's
it is absoloute chaos and lots of fun
-
Gephyrophobia on CTF, with banshee's! Gephy is awsome with banshee's in it, and I'm sure there will be plenty of teamwork involved in it! (i.e helping flagholder across the ledge)
-
s'gotta be pistols on boarding action really :L
-
what's happened to the ROCKS Server ?

what's happened to the ROCKS Server ?
I asked the same thing when I didn't see it. My guess is that they took it down for the soccer scrim that happened yesterday.

ok, thanks Tanx
-
Hang 'Em High Oddball Rocket Launchers ;D
-
Hang 'Em High Oddball Rocket Launchers ;D
now that sounds fun
-
Fuel rod on Race on Danger Canyon? I think not.
-
i like the changes made to sidewinder sniper ctf! theres accually shields! it adds more of a challenge! its my favorite of the whole rotation. ;D
-
I like to snipe.... Hang 'Em High with Snipers and pistols? = )
I don't really care about the game type too much... Maybe CTF? No shields either pl0x!
-
like the new rocks server. there are a few eh maps but other than that its all good :yesyes:. however i did noticed that infinity ctf is still there, as i said before it is a server killer. please please take off infinity ctf :bang:
-
however i did noticed that infinity ctf is still there, as i said before it is a server killer. please please take off infinity ctf :bang:
Infiniteh CTF with 1 banshee per team is awwwweesssommmeeee!!!!!!! Requires very good teamwork if you ask me. It's our only server on ROCKS with a banshee (i think) and it's a real nice change.
-
team slayer elimination (1 live) i would like to see that once i find it fun
-

I love Infinity CTF, it's the only map that's big enough for real time squad based strategy. please don't remove it or I will be sad. :'( ;D
-
has R.O.C.K.S gone down again?
It's not showing up on my XFire
-
i think its gone for a bit but have reasons to beleive that it will come back and perhaps with new maps and games.
(hope so) ;D
-
same here , had great fun in there
-
May I suggest to bring the server back? :P
-

It is coming back! :siderofl:
-
Hate to say this but maybe we should remove race maps from rotation. it is mainly being used as a server to get slayer tendencies out of our system and is a pain to admin during race maps
PS still working on name: Maybe the S.O.C.K. server?
-
Yeah, I agree with Xan, it's nice to have somewhere to go when I don't feel like racing. And it feels odd to be going from playing slayer to back to normal racing randomly for one map, then slayering again.
-
Rat Race.
-
just wondering if rocks is coming back sometime soon?
-
I don't think so, no.
There were some ongoing issues with it and I'm not sure that there is opportunity to address them at this time.
-
Rockets, Snipers, Pistols, Shotguns no shields no nades.. but no miniplasma pistols x'D
-
Battle Creek with rockets is fun.
