Can you add MushMatch and BRUT (or instead of BRUT UTRoyale)?

Can you add MushMatch and BRUT (or instead of BRUT UTRoyale)?

I'm afraid we won't be adding MushMatch, purely because of the complexity of the gametype.
We opt-in for gametypes that are easily picked up by new players.
This to prevent continuous explaining in-game.

UTRoyale we actually had in for quite some time.
But sadly had to remove because of the issues with it.
It's subclassed from LastManStanding, meaning players who are still downloading the map > can't play the next round. (As they will be set as spectator)
You would say this issue is easy to fix, only the developer never addressed these issues.

Second thing is;
It's nice playing BRUT/UTR with custom weapons, that don't give hitscan-delay if you have 80+ ms on the server.
Sadly if you use the weapons from CounterStrike (which are nicely fitting) or any other, the hitscan won't be optimized > resulting in poor hit-scan games.
Basically the one with the lowest ping, wins.

Thanks for the reply and organizing/advertising this event and the servers!

Hmm, MushMatch is not really complex. As you likely know: One life team LMS with one team not knowing who's on what team and the other having a special weapon with which they can
take a shot at converting the other team's members at the risk of revealing their "bad"/"other" team status.

So about the only really bad thing newbies might do is reveal they are Mush by asking newbie questions or getting the sporifier weapon out like it is no big deal.
I guess Gustavo could add helpful really hard to miss info for newbies to the HUD. Maybe the gametype getting more playtime by other humans / more popularity by getting added into the rotation would be enough motivation for that.

It's a damn fun gametype.

So the BRUT version with regular weapons also suffers from the latejoin "problem" I think.
Well in any Battle Royale joining later means joining at a time that is likely less dangerous and also having more of a chance at winning.


All in all for both gametypes: These are of the shorter round/match variety where players can end up as spectators for the rest of the round quickly anyway.

I play a JA2 MP mod (MBII) where you also can end up as a spectator when you die early and rounds can last up to 5 mins. It is really bearable.
Watching the action can be great fun, too.

Your call anyway.

You're welcome!
Feel free to pass by any Friday!

I'm testing Soulharvest right now ...maybe that's something fitting as game-type.

I didn't expect that I would have the most fun playing UT again with this mod.
