If the flag runner drops the flag it can be returned, and not moved by enemy. Give it a chance guys. Its not DM it is much better than dm in every aspect.

I miss the old Tomb a lot but finally did get to play in a fairly large game (i.e. more than 3 vs. 3) and it was a lot of fun. I'm still unhappy about the weapons changes and I don't like the new movement (you get going too fast too quickly and you get hurt for falling 5 feet). Besides that and a few random bugs, most of the new maps are cool and it's a lot of fun. Just wish the server was always full of 12+ people like the Tomb always was.

I keep asking the same questions....were is everybody. I have went on line and hooked up only to see 5-8 people playing at the most. The time I get online is between 8-12 mid night ET. I enjoy the new server but I miss all the regular players that I have not seen yet. Whats up?

I think its just that a lot of the guys who played random DM maps and came on Tomb for the player amount don't even know about the clan really, or the fact there's a CTF mod. I've been jumping on and off the server to play, and I just literally stay there until someone else connects, and then someone else...and then someone else. It's great to get alot of people. We had a good game going with myself, Dick, tpractice, Vinnymac, maddog, and a few others along the way. It was a good time. We played more then 2 maps too lmao.
It's really not bad at all. I mean, new weapons...modifications to the maps themselves...it just feels like a better, updated DM, and to be honest I play it more than HL2DM. Why? Because most servers on DM suck now with CTF and Coop maps thanks to Valves "AWESOME" updates. I Just think if more people believed it wasn't so different they'd come over. I mean, a lot of people played the old Tomb for CTF and for fun, and for the clan...so...where are you guys now? Honestly...there's nothing really changed. It's still the Tomb. It's still {pDs}. It's still fun. Oh yeah, and if the name of the mod doesn't give it away, it's really STILL CTF! =P
Maybe it's my n00b brains, but I think it's just the CTF mod fear factor: The fear of stepping out of DM, something people are comfotrable with, to something new, fun, and something that can be fixed, should there be problems with it.
I'm about to hop on now for an hour myself before I go to bed. My kd ratio sucks lmao. That's what I get for playing again Vinny and Whut for so long one on one. lol

People aren't coming over because they join the server, get blasted with a shotgun blast to the face, die, and think the game is different when in fact it's simply hits registering and proper hitboxes. They're used to dm where nothing registers and the hitboxes are the fucked.

Ok......every evening I stop to see who is on the Tomb. Nobody (maybe two at most) !!!! I miss the old Tomb. I enjoy the new server and it is really great but if nobody is playing then was it really that great of a move?? How can we get people to move to The Tomb....and crank out some hard core play?

Making the new tomb successful relys on dedicated gamers. You need to grab some friends and jump in. People won't join an empty server. The responsibility rests on you guys. As far as the switch is concerned, no it wasn't a smart switch in terms of staying as popular as before, but I won't host a game I don't play. I won't ever play hl2mp again.

Wacky, I hate to knock you off of your ego box, but in promode, the shotguns are midly stronger.
As a matter of fact, here's the differences between promode, and DM mode in hl2ctf.

With a 15 degree spread using the same number of pellets, I believe the shotgun would be weaker the farther away you are from the target.

Did I say the shotgun wasn't more powerful in ctf? If I did I didn't intend to.

What is the scoring system the fight club uses? "you get x points for shoving the stick up whoevers ass" Somebody else gets x points for sticking back in your ass" kind of thing? People seem to really like that over there. I know I do.. Its sort of like scores and ranking all rolled into one. It even seems to take into effect who is killing who. One of the local 20 gazillion point bad asses kept getting 0 points for killing me while I got a bunch for killing them. It was great.. it sorta balances out the lets bash the noobs thing.
Would it be possible to incorporate something like that here? Once Known as Grumpy... Oh hell lets face it... I have and will always be Grumpy

Not to be rude or anything...but...uh...isn't the fall damage in CTF/Pro "Realistic" and in MP "10"??? Cause I usually lose about 4 or 5 health when I fall from the window in the CTF Football level. Maybe I have my suit charged too...I dunno. Forgive my n00bish non-sense. [20:39] {pDs} t3h Cam3l: hey craig, how do i set up a private server?

I think by "realistic" they mean "you don't lose only 10 health no matter how far you fall".
