Waiting Period For Concede Is Needed...

Flak50C

The last 10 games I've played someone takes out one resource node and half the other team f4's... Its getting really annoying that you can't get a true win because people abuse the concede feature.

There should be a 10-15 minute period from when the number dips below the server allowed minimum and when it actually ends the game. If people rejoin, then the game continues... If not, the other team gets that amount of time to end the game legitimately instead of the little mario music and map loading...

Would be nice to actually once finish a game.

I agree the number of people f4ing from games is alarming, but but delaying the time will just drag out the game for the players that did stick with it and make it not fun for them. The only way to prevent it really is to have admins ban people who f4 (which happens on some servers but I haven't seen it as often as I used to).

I'm always making jokes: "If you're a wussy little crybaby, press F4! Oh wait, that'd mean the marine team would loose again."

The marine team always has the idiots on them, and an admin present to ban people who F4 would be great. I've never seen the aliens concede in 2.0 yet.

And then, next match, all the retard marines join alien and then the alien team looses.

A solution would be a timer of some sort. Let the people F4 but count them as if they were playing for the next 5 minutes. So if 4 people F4 because they dont want to get trashed by the opposing team the game goes on for at least 5 minutes giving other players the ability to join and balance the teams out again. If after 5 minutes the teams are still unbalanced/unfinished then mostly its a lame game and a F4 is deserved.

Thats actually a pretty good idea.

It really ruins the game when its been going for 10 or 15 minutes, then many of my Kharaa teammates f4 just because the marines have one hive locked down, while we are building another one, and a couple of us are about to Onos to take back the last hive.

Right now. I'm just going to say that I think we should just let the admins sort it out.

There are plugins to disable F4 mid-game.

If the endgame of a decided round lasts 30 minutes, a method to concede the game is a necessity.

well, ya know... if the losing team really wishes to give up... they could simply stop trying...

but that's just about as lame as F4ing... thing is, once the aliens have the marines pinned down... it's pretty well over...which is why ya should try to have an innocuoulsy hidden phase, so that half you team can commando...

course, if you're pinned down, you probably lost that a while back anyway...
