A new player, in the RO Forum, his second post, suggested the following;
First off, this is posted in the "Level Design" section because it mainly deals with changing all the current maps.
I'm mainly looking for feedback (if there's enough positive feedback, I may continue with changing the maps and even renting a dedicated server to host them). So, if you like this idea and think you would play on the server, then please post so I know there's interest.
My idea is simple. I want to remove all vehicles, every grenade, and all the roles except riflemen in every TW map (this includes the huge tank maps... Arad, Barashka, etc...). For the larger tank maps, I'll probably take out a few objectives like the two fields in Arad, so that all the fighting is concentrated in a few areas.
I'm thinking the server will be a 16-20 player slot. This seems like a good number, there won't be too many people on the current smaller infantry maps and there will be enough players that the larger maps will see plenty of Bolt on Bolt action.
What do you guys think? Would you play a Bolt only server (no grenades/vehicles)?
Thank you, and I look forward to any comments/ideas.
Change ALL the RO maps?? Nah, write a mutator.
Once all the maps are changed by this "new mutator" and its all installed on a server, go online and watch for players.
This just what the platform needs. Total Rifles only..... :d
Now, we return you to your regular programming.
Hopefully it'll be mutator, not individual map edits and changes. It must be a matter of choice. Sure, there'll be those who want the setup such a mutator will offer, but it must be an optional thing as it goes to an extreme. Otherwise the loss to those who enjoy other modes of play will be devastating to them and the server(s) involved.
A mutator with the necessary options is the ONLY way to go on this.
