Title: How many enjoy pgp only?
Post by: m7feettall on October 30, 2006, 02:23:01 PM
Just curious how many like to play with pgp only. It limits lining etc. Some seem to enjoy it, and others don't.

Also, since Jitspoe mentioned that there is no way to keep the expert mode settings by default each match would any server admins  be interested in .ent files for the more popular maps that would enforce pgp only each time? 

If so I working on some .ent files for my internal server and can pass them on, perhaps in one easy download .zip.

Or, they are easy to do for anyone wanting to put them together.

It would be good to have some pgp only servers for those interested.

pgping can be fun. a pgp server would be cool to have. New players won't like to pgp because they would die to fast, but they would get better.

I have been practicing with the wife on pgp only and it really seems to help the aim. It is almost like UT instagib mode.

I will start working on a bunch of .ent's. If anyone wants them post here, and what maps you want.

Or just do your own. They don't take that much to do.

matching with pgp`s would just piss people off. But playing in public mode with good players and with pgp would be really fun and would get your aim better.

If I still played, I would like this. PGP is more skillful than playing with Autocockers all the time like all the new maps seem to have. Then you just get 8v8 with 16 people spraying at eachother hoping to get a kill.

However, I would still vote yes for a PGP only public server. Not sure how much play it would get, though.

I was thinking of adding some kind of "pgp only" vote option.

That would be great :)

Or a way to make the expert mode carry over on a server until reversed.

But for now .ent's work.

Also a possibility, but I fear that would be (ab)used to put all autocockers in every map.

I prefer autocockers and steel barrels only with lots of paint and corners to spray... the way jitspoe intended it.

I think pgp is only fun on certain maps and certain occassions. Big maps are horrible for pgp.

I agree they might not like it.

However, they should. First of all they rarely need to switch out the CO2 or ammo, which is annoying for beginners. Moreover since new players can't jump as well and can't often easily gain access to the best weapons this levels the playing field as much as possible.

It also helps them aim and teaches them a style other than lining. So while they may not like it, it might actually favor them more than one would think.

i dont think it levels the playnig field, surely it must have the opposite effect. You can jump back and forward in front of a new player and NEVER be shot if htey have a pgp, at least they have a chance with an autococker
