Title: CTF is getting stale
Post by: Thoushaltdie on October 27, 2010, 06:40:00 PM
To the grand overlords of oa hear my woes...now go check oa multiplayer and look at which servers have ppl playing in them. There are about an equal number of DM and CTF servers with ppl on them. Forget the DM ones. Now of the CTF servers how many are normal ctf and not rockets or rail? Because it seems to me that NONE are!!! the only server that regularly has ppl on it is "rofl for fishies" which has a very specalized group of people who like oactf4ish. I dont know if there is anyone else who feels this way but I have noticed this trend recently and it might be that im on at odd hours but I would appriciate any input ppl have  :)

You have supeR,ctf ; all league servers ; and much more ;)
If you are looking after nice games take a look on irc channel there is lot of people ready to fight :)

You can indeed join supeR,ctf if you want some all-weapons, else there's mostly people on insta or rockets servers.
But you can also check for the league's servers ( OACL ), there's usually guys playing in the evening and you can get some fun matches in all-weapons/insta/rockets/elimination ;)

super,ctf is often full in the evenings (cet) so you have to queue to play :)

There is also Italia|OpenArena.it CTF which often has people, and which has a map rotation with several standard maps, it's an allweapons server. Though I think it runs 081.

thank you everyone for pointing out 1 server (super,ctf) proving that everything is just rail and rockets now :(

I told you: check the league's server, there's elimination there, or you can connect on the aftershock irc:
#oaUnofficial@irc.quakenet.org
There you can also ask to play elimination on RN aftershock server.

But you can join every clan's irc and ask everyone you see for all-weapons, or elimination, or whatever you want ;)
Most of the players play rockets or rail ye, but there's also a lot of other mods played :P

But he's asking for more "standard" CTF servers, he doesn't seem interested in other gametypes...

There are others " normal ctf " servers, not that much players on it true, but most are on super ctf or on open arena.it as cacatoes said :)
