Important, non-shader related, V21 complaints.
Wynd_Fox:
Cog's Escape could easily be done without game modes. Rampage probably couldn't. Although I don't think that's a bad thing.
Awdax:
I included Cog's Escape because the way gamemodes work is different. Normally people would just have to release their build challenge or whatever and explain what to do, what minigame settings to use, what Add-Ons to use etc.
Gamemodes allow this to be done easier, and force players to play a map the way it's meant to be played. There can be multiple levels and clear the bricks and load them. There are lots of things that can be done.
What I look down upon is the people that have, and the people that will - make gamemodes out of something that could easily be done with a basic minigame and doesn't deserve it's own gamemode.

Gamemodes are useful for hosts.
Want to change server type?
Before: Change addons, change welcome message, load, etc.. Everything is done manually.
After: Change gamemode. I can easily change from a TF2 type server to a terrain build server with the right preparations and a few clicks.

Cog's is just like that... But I still think that's a fine use of game modes.

so you actually believe that a server without addons is stuffty?
ill make sure to never visit your addon-spam fest of a server.
if a person could even join. people like you tend to have us download 500 new files every time we find a server like it.
