Snipers Only Server - Having Fun Killing Friends

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:45 am

OK folks. For all you camping snipers, I've set up a server just for you. To make it a non admin dependant server it is Unranked and weapon is limited to the DSG1 only.
Max players = 12
Game Type = IA
Game Modifier = Custom
(although it's basically set up as a Classic Mode server with no Nano Suit)

yo gero, why disallow the gauss rifle? it falls under "sniper rifle" too ya know...
and it would be cool if you only limit the map to sniper-appropriate maps such as lighthouse. i can't imagine sniping in terminal or parking deck; would turn into a melee and pistol fest.

I'm limited to allow only one weapon. I don't have the option for multiple weapons. I chose the DSG1 but if popular demand says another, I can change it.
The maps are appropriate sniper maps. Neither of the 2 you mentioned are in the rotation.
These are the maps in the current rotation. Let me know if there's one that's not suitable.

You can create a custom class and get a different explosive... C4 anyone? Unfortunately (or fortunately), you cant attach a different scope...

I'm of the opinion that Terminal would make a great snipers-only map; camping would simply fail as a strategy. Parking deck, too has many good vantage points that are impractical to snipe from in a regular game. Lighthouse is actually among the least interesting, imo.

EDIT: its too bad the DLC isnt-- free. There's some absolutely terrific sniping maps in both.

I will be making changes to the roration. Those small maps may be interesting while there are few players on. once we start playing we'll have a better idea. we'll be on some tonight and more tomorrow.

Sniper only, oh boy.....



(I think Gauss might be more fun don't you think?)





And I reckon a melee only server would be fun :P

An admin can switch between the DSG-1 and the Gauss at any time. You can bet both weapons will be used but only one at a time.

We're on the Classic server atm but will be coming to the Sniper Only server soon. Just join the server and we'll follow.
