Well written nader, and for a second I was worried I had an argument on my hands! Of course I would invoke lockdown and defend my opinions for the next 2:31 until I would insta win!

:D:p


I should also add that lock down adds the defenders ability to throw their reinf tickets away and defend the position with reckless abandon. This works FAR too well, although simultaneously bleeding tickets of the defenders. But that doesn't matter because in arbitrary time X they win, even though their forces at that point without lockdown would be decimated.

D'aww, come on. I don't argue just for the sake of arguing. I just don't want folks changing up the gun mechanics when the only problem is the way they play. ;D

No, Lockdown needs to die in a fire. I'm sick of it, ESPECIALLY because I play a class that benefits most from taking things slow, creeping around unseen, and generally being patient. It's hard to be patient when there's only 40 seconds left on the clock and our team still isn't starting to cap the point. If I had a nickle for every time I had to abandon a good firing position and charge the cap with my pistol (to varied results), I'd be a rich man...

I realize that nader I'm just pulling your chain, that and including a lockdown joke that obviously was only funny to me at 3 in the morning. :D

I figured the *best* way to get rid of lockdown would be to first make it an option, then TWI could collect some metrics as to how many servers even bothered to have it enabled, perhaps in the end just removing it if it was very unpopular. All that I really need to know is that it is an option, I am very sure the 2fkr and 7cav servers that I frequent will have it turned off the moment it becomes an option.

6th Ab server as well. It's a terribly annoyance as we try to perform scenarios in training which are horribley rushed and hurried by a constant ticking clock. It's like a gym teacher shouting at you or something.

It's just more ammunition for those people accusing RO2 of being a CoD copy-cat, and I can't blame them. Hell i'm *sometimes* one of 'em.

Yep.

As a slight OT, does your 6th server run a realism routine? I'm always looking for one or two extra servers to add to my favourites list with good teamwork and on the realism mode.
