TF2 LZ Arena Server - Class Restriction/Limit Plugin

I have never played on the LZ arena server, but I agree: nobody wants a team full of snipers and scouts (or any other stupid combination). So a class restriction is a must.

I don't get why you want the engi and/or heavy to be banned. Engi's can be strong, but you must not forget: they need time to build a sentry nest. Also, there is no respawn, so the sentry will much easier to attack wihtout an engi.

As for the heavy: heavies can be easily killed by a good placed sticky trap, an uber or anything else. And with only 1 medic, it will be much harder to survive as a heavy.

That are my thoughts about it.


Please, don't murder me :cry:

 

i had a team of scouts, the other a team of 3 heavies and 2 engis
yep that was a nightmare, i agree to the plugin we should get it

 

On the old server engy was banned, heavy was limited to 1 I believe. Not 100% sure.

 

Ok, you win Getting frustrated by a campgineer isn't the thing you play games for.

Also: when someone gets frustrated because of this, they are easliy tempted to RAGEQUIT. They leave their team behind, they lose another round, more ppl are going to quit and the server is more likely to become empty.

Restricting all classes to 2, heavy and medic to 1 and banning the engineer should be a good thing.

 

I also have problems taking care of Scouts when playing Sniper, perhaps we should limit those as well.

 

Well in that case..

I do know i hat some tool that would perform actions based on number of players..

Find me that plugin again and then tell me how the setup needs to be.. then i will change it accordingly.

 

Now that we are talking about class restrictions: can you restrict the scout to 3 (or less) on the hale server(s)? They do almost no damage, they are running around useless, they drink bonk to get on places you only can get with rocket (and then they stay there untill the end of the round) and they slow down the game.

Please think about this: it's not fun watching the last players (almost always scouts) running around for 5 minutes.

 

You said it yourself


and Tangency: sorry, I thought that topic was was abandoned a long time ago.

 

I was actually being sarcastic and probably should have suggested to disable them completely, to make my reply stand out more in a ludicrous fashion.

I still stand by the same opinion I had last year when this issue was also addressed, classes in Arena are just as balanced as they are in other game mode. The tricky part of arena, however, is to have the forethought to counter the enemy teams setup with your own, rather than switching to the appropriate classes in the middle of the game.
Regarding engineers, these are even more useless in arena than in any other game mode, since they do not get any setup time and will have their position compromised, long before they have their gear ready. One Heavy, Demoman or Soldier can easily ruin your day, after spending much time setting your Sentry and Dispenser up on some sneaky spot. The argument of the Pyro being unable to counter an Engineers nest, is just as valid, as a blindfolded Sniper being unable to counter an army of Scouts. I might want to emphasize the word 'Team' in 'Team Fortress'.
