Hey guys. Just a thought...
So just from in game chat and discord one of the big gripes that seems to come up from a lot of people (other than the wait to get a game going in the first place. lol) is that if the balance in the teams is off then it leads to 20 minutes solid of rape with the other team racking up silly amounts of frags. And then after that some of the loosing team don't want to play a second game and some on the winning team can be reluctant to change the teams.So was thinking, keep the 20 minute time limit but add some sort of frag spread limit.
My theory: the close matches will go the full distance but in the "rape fest" scenario the game will end if the score difference between the teams goes over a critical limit. This means shorter one sided games, teams can be shuffled and into the next game with hopefully still decent amounts of morale (coz lets face it. When your 200 frags down on dm2 and you realize there is still another 10 minutes on the clock it can be very tempting to just yank the ethernet cable out of your PC and bugger off down to the pub :p lol) .
Obviously this would just be for mixes/pickups and not tournaments.
Thoughts?
