Author Topic: What would be the best server? How would it play?  (Read 3336 times)

This mainly is about opinion/fantasy thread: what would be the greatest server? What would it be like?

Not "what makes a server good", but what new idea could make one of the greatest servers?

I would like a server based on military(or related) combat, where two(or more) teams are put in a certain scenario, where they are given a random class or profession and must solve the conflict. The scenario would change every round.

My idea for this, would go like this:

Warhammer40k: all players are randomly sorted into a different race (Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, etc.) given a random class, and need to complete a scenario, such as a Space Hulk sort of mission, a skirmish, or any of the sorts.
(I would actually really like to make a server like that)

Another idea:

Robocop: A large force of policeman and/or SWAT supplied with small, weak weapons(pistols or SMGs) and patrol a large city waiting for a call or some sort of signal to be deployed to the area of the crime. It sounds like APB, but here's the twist: one of the police officers spends the round (time duration of the free-roam APB game) as a super strong soldier, who most of the police will depend on for support. An intense fast-paced Robocop server.

Post your ideas such as the above, and tell how it would play.

a server with a nice host, good admins that keep scum out and give fair warnings and bans.

I could care less about gamemodes, but if the moderation of a server is bad, I would probably never join that server again.

Gonna turn into an 'advertise your stuff' thread.

Servers that involve a build that have either much to explore, or good looking scenery; which tells a story all it's own. For this reason; I enjoy role playing servers, or RPG servers. Even if the builds are bad the creators always seem to have little things inside the world that are interesting to look at or find.

Game-Play that is simple enough at the start, yet can be broken down into so much more.

A DM server that switches between CTF, FFA, TDM, etc. It would have good admins and overall fun gameplay.

Blocko Drift

This server is just like any speedkart server, but has Fast and the Furious (or Need For Speed) cars, and the gamemode takes place in cities and the Mountains. It also includes the Stereo Mod.

Yeah, same thought after posting this...

Guys,

this thread is what is a server that should be made, what it would be about, how it would play and why it would make a great server.

Thats what the Warhammer idea in the OP would include. (not to advertise, just adding that.)

a dm with unreleased addons, a sick build, and admins with a sense of humor

Super Randomizer

players are placed with 3 random weapons (a primary, a secondary, and a tertiary, all designed for the gamemode) and are grouped into themed teams (pirate, ninja, ghost, knight, swat, etc) and placed into a map. this map also conforms to a team's theme, but not necessarily themes that are present in the current round- in other words, you might get knights fighting terrorists in a pirate-themed ship-to-ship map, or ghosts fighting scientists in an old worn castle. every round, the setting updates, but the teams don't, so the same groups of players are still fighting but their costumes and weapons change

each theme has a signature primary weapon that randomly appears in their loadouts

each round would last until everyone on one team is wiped out, and players would move at slightly-above-average speed

the idea is that it'd sort of be like DM warioware with enough cohesion to keep observant players interested but still be crazypants enough to be fun on principle

what

immature humor*
but doesn't ride jokes for too long

Didn't we have a randomizer dm? Used to be pretty big and has about all the things you said.

For me a huge island with a bunch of different places to drive around is my dream server

Mindless action. Explosions and death every split second.

forget yes.

I'm going with this

a server where your inventory is the Mini-nuke, homing missile launcher, that one unpronounable weapon that crashes computers, the rocket spammer, and that REX 2 or something weapon that shoots like a minigun and rockets

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as the admins and host aren't asshats that makes a server good.
oh and the host isn't lazy when they build, a good server needs a decent build

Already done, join the randomizer dm
