Oh, BumMonkey - I still like you posting about using an Elfbot! Very good!
OK - back On topic to the off topic...
I guess this whole debate has to rear its head every now and then.
The way I see it, there really shouldn't be much debate -
This does Not boil down to which way is better, wanted or the correct way to do Redeemer at all.
The best or correct way is non-existent as far as I can see.
It DOES boil down to
EACH Player's Preferences is all and there is no right or wrong way to play redeemer for the most part.
(And I am talking about NON-cheating gameplay)
There are no "Dinosaurs" either. ( except those that left UT altogether LOL )
I like playing on ANY of these servers (and styles) myself - they are all fun.
It is how
YOU (or Each one of us) want to play it that counts - Not how each one of us thinks that others SHOULD play redeemer!
Never tell other players how they Should play Redeemer - let them play the way THEY Want to! (It is OK to instruct though if it is wished)
Never say that other redeemer servers are "wrong"!
They aren't! - they are merely a different way to play it!
MEAT and other players prefer a certain way or ways to both Serve and Play redeemer.
Hermskii and others their way.
I myself (and others too) am somewhere in the Middle of Hermskii and MEAT or the Original ways of playing redeemer and the Newer (or MEAT's) ways.
My Redeemer servers have both Large, Small and Medium maps - a
Variety - old and new - any I deem good maps.
Play any way YOU want - I do not care as long as you have FUN!
I do not have spawn protection as I do not see a real need for it at all - I just don't.
A mute point if you will.
Most maps have enough spawn points that even on the Rare occasion that someone does some spawn killing, it is very short lived.
We have a mix of NEW 2010 redeemer mods and Old.
I am not a big translocator fan either as its use as a Weapon anyway.
It is a
Redeemer Arena, so use the Redeemer to frag - not the trans - in my opinion.
In a Sniper Arena server - we use the sniper rifle to frag.
The trans is an annoyance to me and detracts and distracts from the Redeemer Experience in my book.
Use the trans, if it is really wanted, to get around the map is all and for no other reason.
If you want to use the trans to frag - go to a translocator arena server. - Again IMO.
So, in a quick summation ...
Play at {CG} - Hermskii's server, for Great, Original, Medium and Small Style maps Redeemer Arena FUN, etc.
Play at {MRS} - MEAT's server, for Great, Innovative, Large Style maps (and Scoped Deemer) Redeemer Arena FUN, etc.
Play at {CLD} or {CMM} - Hook's server(s) for
Variety, and for Great, Innovative, Large, Medium and Small Style maps with PURE(no distractions and MULTI-Deemer2010 + TEAM Games) Redeemer Arena FUN, etc.
Something like that anyway!
