Once again, at the risk of sounding like a pessimist, I'll voice my complaint about the "s-word". Yep, you guessed it, suicide.
Just to be clear:
suicidio
intihar
sebevražda
pagpapakamatay
Selbstmord
suicid
samobójstwo
sinucidere
خودکش
(Apologies if I missed a language or two!)
Now apparently many of you think that this is a viable strategy in this game. For those of us who actually took the time to learn strategies and skills from some of the veterans in this game, I assure you it's not. In fact it's downright cowardly and selfish..
If I work you into a corner and have you beat, and you take one last shot at a wall or your feet with the RPG? WTF??? Really? You can't give up the kill and the weapon? And you think this makes you a better player?
I've got one thing to say: KNOCK IT OFF! Learn to play the game! Take your hit when you have it coming to you!
This is supposed to be fun, not frustrating! So try it. You just might like it!
Today I've introduced a penalty for kangaroos: delayed jump.
We love kangaroos, but they are not welcome here.
Maybe you shoud vote for a double penalty for suicide: -2 frags.
p.s.

I mind just players who kill themselves intentionally. I think after a certain amount of suicides such players should have no access to rockets and bombs.

I don't know about terminator photo Its more like catminator ,as for these suicide players,I have come across a regular who always uses the rpg7 at close range,and blows himself up as well as myself,only the other day he did this about three or four times to himself and me I think a penalty is in order a loss of frags if done so many times.
I always try to change a weapon instead of blowing myself up,wish others would do the same.
A certain amount has to be acceptable. And is truly accidental. But the real culprit becomes immediately apparent when the chat box fills with
player x committed suicide
player x committed suicide
player x committed suicide
player x committed suicide
player x committed suicide
And I agree, a -2 frag AND -20 point penalty would be in order.
But this is my personal opinion. Let's hear from the rest of the players.
If the majority thinks this is an acceptable form of stragey, I'll shut up and sit quietly in my corner.

I don't think 2 frag is enough,between 5-10 plus 20 points deducted would be better,but how many are allowed before the penalty?

I did mention about this suicide crap a few months ago. To me it was obvious that this would spread. This weekend I asked a player (can't remember their name) to stop killing themselves, and alianzacopa replied "no".
Also this weekend I kicked 3 player out, for doing the same suicide crap.
If you kick them out in FFA and they re-enter, then they have to collect the weapons again

slapshot wrote:Make it 4 as it generally takes that many times to really get me cranked!
That's way too much.
Most of the players don't do it on purpose.
Why shoud it take them 4 frags for that?
Yeah, I was thinking that in matches, sometimes I accidentally do it more that twice, maybe three times. But I would agree, 3 times in a FFA session tends to be deliberate.

I think with minus 2 frags, most of them will give up.
And the rest will give up after 3 suicides (they need to log in again).

I think I like this! I also liked Lenny's "lose the RPG & superguns" idea. It's a great idea, but wouldn't they just exit and re-enter and start all over again?
But being kicked from camp with a comment like "another suicide moron just checked out" and having to log back in with 6 frags less than what they logged in with? NOW we're talking!

Yes, this is very good because many of them are desperate to kill you.
It doesn't matter if they kill a teammate, or they kill themselves.

look's fine for me
Here is the new penalty for suicide starting today:
- minus 2 frags
- all the bombs & rockets are lost
- all the Pro weapons ammo is lost
We will decide later (if needed) if they will be kicked out of camp after 3 suicides.

-2 is enough!
P.S Sometimes, certain comparisons are quite uncalled for!
Anyways, not playing has nothing to do with a vote here.
A good thought, carried way too much, unnecessarily!
Well, well, well!
The no jumping thingy? I thought you were joking about that!
But I tested everything.
First, for the"suicidal-deterrent mechanism":
(My suicide was accidental at first, but later I tried it deliberately).
3 "suicidal boo-boos", and PRESTO! No guns!
Then each time after, deliberate or not, no guns!
It worked excellently!
And of course you can always collect more guns, but the lesson is certainly learned quickly!
Secondly, even if I never realized it, I must have used the jump a lot. The "delayed-jump" (I call it, "Anti-Kangaroo") will definitely take some time to get used to. Especially for players that used jumping consistently. (sorry juan507!) So no more boingy-boingy-boingy like Winnie the Pooh's "Tigger" all over the camp!

But all in all, I really think these changes are going to create more consistency and help even out the game play.
In other words, I like it![/color]

The current approach is more realistic.
Also it helps the gameplay.
In the real world "strafe + forward" does not exist.
But it's used in any game and I have to live with that.
But bad connections jumping all the time is something that I cannot accept.
Just to verify something here . Do we loose our guns immediately after 1st suicide or after 3rd. Because I kill myself today (accidentally) and I lost all of my pro weapons immediately. I thought that 3rd suicide means no guns.
Jumping thing is OK! No more kangaroos

Apparently it's been changed to the FIRST time! I accidentally... well, okay, I DID deliberately jump off the balcony, but I lost my RPG & pro-guns immediately. This is gonna take some getting used to...

I don't understand.
The rule is the same in all the maps.
Did you find a bug in APC or what?

Am verificat si totul este OK.
APC este o harta mica si ai foarte putine locatii unde poti amplasa mine.
Cea de langa RPG-7 este una dintre ele, dar conditiile de amplasare sunt foarte stricte.
Gaseste locatia (iconita minei opaca), te opresti, plantezi mina si pleci.
p.s.
Un veteran adevarat nu foloseste mine in APC.
