Oh, already final now, last time i played b3 on a server i think, was a lot of fun. The final looks good, have to test it on a full server of course.

But what about a point system like dustbowl (each cap = one point)?
I think it is a little frustrating if one team defended on stage 3 and the other team defends at stage 1 and it is still only one point for each team.

We played it today, both teams defended the second CP on stage 1, seems a little too easy for defenders.

Don't worry, the statistics show that the attackers win more often than the defenders do.

And the non-dustbowl point style - I dislike the new scoring style they implemented, I think its plain retarded. One point for a sucessfull attack and one for a sucessfull defend makes far more sense than one per point because then you could play the starting point over and over and over before the winlimit is reached or you could play all the way through once or twice, whilst one point per sucessful attack/defend means the map is played for a more consistant amount of rounds.

Also it stops that really REALLY annoying situation where the attacking team only needs one point left to win, at the start of the first stage so the map changes mid-round.
The new system is much less fun than the old system.

in a clan game environment it's useful, previously the red team could hold the blu team at stage 1 cp 1 and score 1 point, when the sides are switched the blue team could capture all but the last point on stage 3 and the red team still gets a point,

old style scoring 1-1
new style scoring 5-1

Also it stops that really REALLY annoying situation where the attacking team only needs one point left to win, at the start of the first stage so the map changes mid-round.

I would look to the server.cfg as being more of the problem in that scenario - i tend to just rely on mp_timelimit and mp_maxrounds for a public server and have no issues whatsoever with map chnages after blu team wins a round.

Same here, on dustbowl style maps we always work with roundlimits, not with pointlimits, so that is not a problem.

Each team is defending one time and attacking one time, or if that´s too short on that map, it is twice defending and twice attacking.


If one team defends on stage 3 and the other team is good enough to defend on stage 1, the second team just played better and i think it schould be honored with points.
