1. Dead body Cam, when you die you have approximately 3-5 seconds to tell your teammates through Ventrilo and Teamspeak which way the opposition went before the camera view changes to one of your teammates. A cvar that turns off the dead body cam so that when you die, the camera view instantly changes to your teammates POV removing the ability for you to be able to spectate the enemy illegally while you are dead. This simple cvar would make the world of difference to the online competitive community.
While I can understand your view this is kinda part of the game and builds part of the teamplay. Making clear and concise comms work essential for any team to succeed. Maybe shorten the time and even have a fixed field of view, f2b worked pretty well with its fade-out. Is f2b not available in source?
2. Dead players being able to tell their live teammates through Ventrilo or Teamspeak that the opposition has just picked up the bomb because the scoreboard tells players when a bomb has been picked up the opposition. A simple cvar would resolve this and could be implemented very easily.
Big hole in the game this one, should be cleared up completely rather than a CVAR.
3. The creation of a cvar that turns the need to purchase ammo on, obviously this would be more involved than the first 2 but couldn't be to hard assuming that you still have the ammo code somewhere. By removing the need to purchase ammo you removed a substantial amount of tactics from the game, I also agree though removing ammo for the average player is a good idea, hence the best option is a cvar.
Yes non-DWP servers should still buy ammo, the financial dynamics rely on it.
4. A cvar that increases the walking speed for competitive purposes, again a very simple change that would be welcomed by the competitive community without affecting the public community.
Sounds good, haven't timed it but it certainly feels slower than 1.6 and i think 1.6 has a very good feel, would need to be locked to within certain range.
So as you can see, these are very simple and easy changes that Valve could make that would significantly improve the competitive community and I'm certain that 95% of the competitive community would agree with me.
If they are CVARs then they can be changed at the admins discretion. The community can then decide which way it wants to go. :) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
