Current Server Settings: Crits: off Damage Spread: off Intel Crits: off
If you wish to test your map with diffident settings please make a note of it in your post.
Well it might have something to do with some admins preference to leave crits, etc, off.I brought it up ages ago and complained but never pursued it further because I knew it wouldn't change back once it had been put this way. I personally find the game far more enjoyable when there are cases of immediate turnaround at random that both teams need to react to. I quite honestly never have fun on our servers anymore.
edit for elaboration:
The decision seems to be "leave it how it is" simply because nobody bothered making a thread beforehand and the poll is a 50/50 split. I can use that for the other side of the argument as well. Since the poll IS a split, it can't be used to say the stuff should be off. Nobody made a thread requesting them be turned off, and we always used to maintain that the servers would be valve-default and stay that way. The question is, why did it change in the first place? Was it a leftover from the CTF contest? It couldn't have been that, because I was maintaining map-specific configs that turned them off ONLY for the contest maps. So it seems someone arbitrarily decided it should be changed and slipped it into the configs.
It's basically a case of We're damned if we do, we're damned if we don't.
It was already decided. You're an oldey around here, I'm sure you are aware that the past consensus was "valve default" and even though some people preferred it otherwise they understood why and accepted the reasoning for having it.Half-Half. That's what most people would consider a deadlock, where neither side would have any more swaying power over the other. So don't get mad when we don't cater to your personal preferences.
It's been like this since we got new servers a couple of months ago.
