Hi again

Maybe you already know this but, just in case.

Sometimes I play on the planetmonsterhunt server. They used to have a column in the vote screen to play TMH (Team Monster Hunt). I´ve joined once or twice when they were playing it. First of all, there are some specific maps for TMH, a famous one is called USRR-Stroganoff or something, I´ve never seen them playing TMH on a classic monster hunt map.

On those maps, there are 2 teams (red and blue). The team with the most frags at the end of the game wins: some monsters (like titans or queens) unfortunately often give not 1 but 50 frags, for example.

You can also kill other team members, but I think those kills do not give you frag points. However, I´ve seen many times that they kill other teams members to let their teammates kill monsters without worrying about frag stealing. When I play this, some people complain about killing other people; but I´ve asked the PMH admin (Skillz) and he agrees that killing other team members is part of this mod (TMH) so I think that could be a possible game rule for future competitions also.

So, I think that it could be a good idea to have those maps on the MHM servers. Unfortunately, I don´t know how or where to get them, but I could give you the list of the maps they used to have so you can download them or something.

Anyway, I would like to practice with you on LongCorridor also.

*POTS* wrote:What about server settings (maxhealth, maxammo, lives etc.)?
I believe this matters not at all.
Let me tell you why.

Health re-gen:
Fighting Monsters in Monster Hunt is exactly like playing bots in a DM game.
The monsters move as predictably as bots do.
To be good against Bots in DM you must learn how they move and be waiting for them.
Same thing goes with MH monsters ,
you must know where they are going to jump and when.
Be waiting with a shock combo!
Did you know that when a Skaarj gets low on health it will retreat to a projectile attack from as far away as it can get from you?
Keep shooting that sucker he is about to die!
Back on point:
If you are good at predicting and killing the monsters then health re-gen wont matter.
If you know the monsters moves then you will be dodging all their attacks. It is quite easy, they shoot rather slow.
All monsters have weaknesses.
Know them , use them!
What MH mod are they using on the server? Some of the mods give health points when you kill a monster!
Also see my point on ammo re-gen. It furthers my point.

Ammo re-gen -
This falls more into knowing the maps.
We should upload the maps to our server so we can know where the pickups are.
we should always try to lure monsters near places you can grab up pickups. This should be a common practice if we are teaming up and reduces deaths.
So if we we coral monsters and maximize the pickups we don't need to worry about ammo/health re-gen.

We will be dodging attacks , providing cover fire for each other and sharing pickups. I think its doable!


Killing other Players-
I forgot that this was a rule now.
What do you all think about it?
Does anyone know if team damage will be on?
Keeping track of who is on your team might be confusing!
These are things we need to know.
Have they released any official tournament rules?
my thoughts:
I hope there is no team damage.
But i want to be able to kill the other teams men.
I also think we should get a frag for it.
:twisted:

If team damage is on or even if it is not , I think we should all wear the same skin when competing. Then we can easily tell each other! :D

I agree, I think it would be nice to kill the other team members :lol:

On the TMH maps I've played there are 2 teams, red and blue; so you have the red and blue "uniform" for your character, like in CTF: I suppose customized skins won't work.

And yes, I also believe that health and ammo regen won't matter that much. What I do believe may matter is game speed, air control, and zero-ping mutators. I don't know if i'm right, but I believe Jon's server has game speed and air control levels lower in comparison with MHM and MHM2. That makes it harder for me, specially because I use a lot of shock combos and dodging. Of course, if air speed and air control are in higher levels and if we also have a zero-ping mutator (enforcers, shock, insta and sniper) it would be easier for me and maybe for other people also.

We could all be one of the default UT characters. These skins are allowed.
Or if they are running Valhalla we could use a really cool skin.

Lets get a list of rules and server settings together first so we can draw up a good practice plan.

Your right about the aircontrol and such. We need to duplicate these settings in the "Danger Room" lol Xmen reference , you catch it?

I was thinking maybe we are getting to serious about this.
I think we should just get together and play and have fun.
If we loose oh well.

Times zones are something we need to talk about.
9PM for me is probably 4am for some of you.

How are we going to get together on the server for team games?

Where did this come from all of the sudden? Sure were getting a little pumped but i dont see any "too serious" at all.

Isnt that what it was from the start?
This is what happened last time isnt it? a while ago you stuck TMH on your server and we all got pumped and wanted to play it, but it only lasted a couple of weeks..............

Well this is the tough part, how about everybody who wants to participate go to a site such as this one with time zones --->http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and they can post a link as to what time it is in their timezone.

We could work from there, but only if people want to participate but from the looks of it, this thread is sadly dead already :?

what happened? this seems to happen a lot actually :(
BoSs is in the HOUSE!
