It is really discouraging to see you not even try it Timtim, and to dismiss every one as if they/ and their opinions do not matter. The entire UT community is maybe 200 - 250 players total. To alienate 20-40 of them is such a waste. Maybe cropping off 5 of them would be a good idea... those scumbags!
Make it an option. Ctf and TDM are very different game types and are not played the same. Even with Mlut dying (as always after a season ) You have gained 2-3 active people. There are others like my self who will give it a try and then disappear pending the next mlut.
What I don't understand is how you can ignore so many people, many of whom would actively play in upug if you started making it worth their while. I enjoy quite a bit, I have played every thing form ZARK to ig to weapons. I am not an elitist player that is scared of others improving or being scared to adjust my play style( i came from an automatic sniper mod for fuck sakes). I know that if I really wanted to I could easily become a monster( see the mlut where fws was used for evidence). I simply do not enjoy the flow, for the first time I can remember I was bored playing ctf last night. I would rather play IG, in which you have done amazing things.
Instead of uniting people you are creating a huge divide, one step forward 15 steps back. It seems like you really do not give a shit about people who play and want to play your mod. I would think some one who has/ is putting so much effort into making some thing, that you would want it used.
Could you not just make it an option and to see if people really want to play it?
just add another game type to upug. for example ctf and ctfnfws. I'm sure you will respond with " i know whats best" or "mlut scum dont deserve to have opinions " or " an elitist player who wants to hold people back" Or my favorite " you don't actively play it so I do not care what you think", which is horseshit considering I play either from the start of the pug or as a sub several times a month( why would I play more if i'm not enjoying it ?)
Just give it a try instead of being a dick to every single person in and outside of this thread (on this topic). Regardless of whether or not you actually give people what they want/ think they want, I wish you luck but I don't think you will achieve what you want( unified community) with out listening to the "people".
I am not sure why I am even trying other than I am naive and still have hope.
