COD:WW Discussion

[KocK GoBlin]

The beta will be here in October with a mid-November (confirmed) release. My guess will be that Treyarch will release the dedicated server files to the major game hosts sometime soon so we could possibly have a Beta COD:WW server in October.
All that aside, when the game ships in November and we have a server (possibly 2) up, what gametypes would you like to see? I'm assuming S&D will still be available, along with TDM and DM. CTF will be making it back into the stock gametypes, along with their new War gametype (vehicles). Lets discuss what gametypes you would like to see on the servers.
Any other suggestions you would like to make? Larger/smaller servers? Longer/shorter timers? Still want them to be hardcore? Post below.

imo, if a game needs a "hardcore" mode, theres something wrong with the base balance, so I just hope that won't be an issue with WW.

personally I'd like to see a DOM type server (if they'll have that game type still), sort of as an up-market version of DOD:S with all the shit we wished they added (japanese? russians? brits? oh my :D). other than that, maybe CTF if they dont fuck it up

I think you should have three servers. Yes, three. :)
S&D - Hardcore - If the maps are similar in size to CoD:MW i'd say 18 players. 24 If they're generally bigger.
CTF - Softcore - 16 - 18 players
War - Softcore - 32 - 36 players

Not saying we should open 3 servers on day one of it's release but that pretty much covers all of your different types of FPS players.

Agreed 100%.

Although I personally believe that a SnD server should be the last to be put up of the 3, if at all.

Have to have an SnD server. Most of it's players are SnD players only. It wouldn't really be fair to all of our regulars/members who end buying the game. I don't know if i'll be picking it up but if there's no SnD server I definitely wouldn't pick it up.

[Insanest]

My only preference would be to run non hardcore servers.

Too true. Heh, I forgot about them. :p

So yeah, I suppose we should cater to the regulars of our current SnD server and make a CoD5 SnD server and a CTF server with the specs that Bartok previously mentioned. Then after about 6-8 weeks we can look to try out the War game-type if things go well. That's my two cents anyway.

There definitely needs to be a SnD server. That is obviously the server that has the most regulars as it is full just about all of the time. I would like to see a TDM or CTF for the second one. War sounds cool, but who knows how it will turn out yet. I would like them to stay hardcore if the settings are basically the same. i hate on softcore when you have to put half a clip into someone to kill them. Hopefully they change that for WW. Well thats what i think...can't wait for WW.

everyone knows i'm ana S&D addict lol but i would like to see a CTF server, i've never done CTF in a game like this.

I don't like that either in "softcore"/regular however if you're playing CTF being able to kill someone hit 1-3 bullets is gonna be pointless. Same thing goes for War, if the vehicle's health is minimal than it will be pointless.

If settings stay similar to what they are now for hardcore, our CTF server will most likely be normal with the possibility of going HC at a later date. Hardcore CTF might be a little impossible.
