Samokoske is proud to present: 3 Beers, Jello Shots, & Short Rounds!

This is in commemoration of the bitter appeal that 45 minute one sided team deathmatches in the groundpounder loadout in dust has gotten stagnant. I WANT MORE! And so should You! So everyone is invited to this nightly event, and since it is open, you may suggest whatever loadouts occur on my next hosting. If it should pass from host to host, that is fine. But this is where you can catch me at the given times at least for 1-2 sets.

Just so you know, these short rounds are casual matches occuring nightly at 8-9 pm EST (unless posted different in the title). This thread will continue to go live as the server occurs so that PSForums are privy to the latest of information on this event. All rules, maps, loadouts, and special conditions are going to be set here at anyone's suggestion for tomorrow's event, and will be updated as they come, so please refer to this thread for your short round needs.

The standard rules are as follows:

24-30 players (undecided)

All Talk: On

Randomize teams: On

Team switch: Off

Split teams: On

CTF - 5 minutes, 3 Flags

TDM - 10 minutes, 50 kills

Zones - 15 minutes, 2500 points

All loadouts will be in blitz to accommodate for the short round necessities. (unless otherwise noted)

The layout, round type and loadout will go as follows:

Glade - CTF -  Trooper (Fly With The Flag, Non-Blitz, 10 minutes, 5 flags)

Relay - TDM - Arena

Lost Canyon - Zones - Heavyweight

Narrows - CTF - Speeder

Basin - TDM - Ground Pounder

Hollow - Zones - Classic

Conduit - CTF - Air Superiority (Fly With The Flag)

Glade - TDM - Arena (Non Blitz, 15 minutes)

Apogee - Zones - Classic

Lost Canyon - CTF - Ground Pounder

Orbital - TDM - Lightweight

Relay -Zones -  Arena

Glade Groundpounder CTF

Relay DM

The green asterisk (*) means that there's something different about this loadout/map. I'm learning which combos are best for shorter rounds, so I am always open to suggestions.

Thank You your participation is appreciated.

I like short matches. Rather prefer really short ones. Anywhere from 5-15 minutes would be ideal. Anyone wanna make some short match server revolving zones, CTF, and TDM that we can play? preferably also a server that has anywhere from 16-20 people as well. My internet can't handle serving atm, nor can it handle huge matches either.

K. I'll go make a 45 minute server TDM with 1000 kills now. I'll inv you.

[GOW71]

[Samokoske]

IF that zones server from last night is up the games will be ~18 minutes long.   Time limit is 30 but score limits are either 2500 or 1000.

Yea, I was thinking that I'd try making a server for once. except my abysmal internet. and I think Zones would have to be a little longer than CTF or TDM. I remember playing 5 minute CTF in the beta, and those were epic fun. a better TDM round would be what, 50 kills in 10 minutes? i'm contemplating somewhere from 25-40 kills, and around that time frame.
