Do you want them? If so, what needs limiting?

I am in a mood to fix shit right now. I'm not officially back and won't be until late next week... but I am still eager to please and will do what I can with what I have at the moment.

limits on snipers or engies on 2fort could erase those situations where theres like 5 snipers on your team and you cant cap or defend..hehe

Jeeze.  It's happening again. 

If you have a minute to spare, go for a walk or wack-off or something benign like that.  Every time I get good at something on our servers, someone wants to kill my joy.

Bah, humbug.
You should be more like Cantrip.

on the 2fort server, i think 3 or 4 engineers would be good. snipers would be 3 or 4 as well.

I think class restrictions are needed especially on 2fort - snipers and engineers - no more than 2-3 snipers. I can't really think of any other maps to restrict classes on. You could probably make a global restriction of no more than 5-6 players of any class - helps those dustbowl situations when everyone plays demo and the attacking team can't even get out the door to the first point.

Yeah, and I'm bringing the issue back.

There are many pros and cons, I'm simply testing the water.

What would this accomplish? 

Is it meant to stop the stalemates and turtle fests? 

Would it really accomplish such a thing if we had limited snipers and engis on this map?  

Would it upset people who want to play a specific class but cannot? 

 

I just see more cons than pros for making this adjustment.

I like to think a lot of the regulars are grown up enough to be flexible enough to change class to help the team.....but I see too many folks refuse to do anything but point whore.  I have not really ever seen it get too bad, too often.

i disagree with the global 5-6 person class restriction, today on #1 on granary, we had all 7 people as scouts and it was fun as hell. we won alot, but the other team could have easily defended against us with pyros and sentries. i only think 2fort needs a class restriction, and only on #2 because of the nonstop map.

I agree. People will get mad they can't play their favorite class, and they'll play somewhere else.

Maybe global class restrictions is bad but I think limits on snipers and engineers on 2fort (both servers) is a good idea because those maps can last forever. I have played on dustbowl though where the other team had 8-9 demomen and shut out the other team by not even allowing them out of the starting pit. If there's a restriction and you can't play your favorite class then just play something else for a little while until you get the chance. If you absolutely HAVE to play a given class and can't be flexible then that's no good. Sure I *like* to play a certain class (medic yeah i know that's weird) but I am pretty happy with playing any class at least for a little bit.
