I've an idea of gameplay change. Would it be possible to realize?

From my point of view, winning through pointwhoring isnt a smart way to win a game, although I do it too. But it is boring and less skill is needed in pointgames then in marathon.

Furthermore are the players of the team less in points so often very quick demotivated, if they see, they have no chance to win by points anymore or ped/complete base destruction. Its annoying to be in this situation.

Why not about this:

Standard 1-Hour Games:

If no total base destruction/ped occours, the winner is the team with MORE BUILDINGS REMAINING.

If the numer of remaining buildings in GDI/Nod is the same (deadlock), THEN the score will make the decision.

This way the following would happen:

- Buildings get a revaluation
- Pointwhoring isnt so important anymore
- there will be higher motivation up to the last second for both teams to go and destroy buildings
- let buildings die because of the "damn pointwhoring" will be stoped
- more skill is needed ingame
- more teamplay is needed ingame

We actually have this kind of scoring system in TK2 internal clan wars. And indeed, it's a rather good system. Not saying it should simply be changed to that though.

I thought TT was not going to change Renegade Gameplay, just solve gliches, bugs, add new things like a map downloader, fix the current horrible netcode and get some proper Anti Cheat going.

I doubt TT is suitable for this, or will actually do this.

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

Although I think it's a good idea, I don't think TT should touch this. It's probably possible to make a server side modification to do this though.

no, of course it should not be changed completly.
was just a question, if it is possible to code.

if so, it should be an option in FDS.

A new (optional) gamemode where everybody is a pleco that fires live nuclear strike beacons is definitely possible to code; that doesn't that we are going to do it.

I think its a great idea and should have also been that way.
Point whoring is just dumb and requires no skill.
If that is all it takes to win a game of Renegade then I might aswell play a different game which requires more skill and fun like quake etc.

Thats my opinion.

Also what I find irritating is that when I have spent the whole game batteling the other players and am
clearly the most valuable player on the team some one else gets the MVP for just sitting in a tank
far away ponitworing the building letting evryone else do the work.

the current point system encourages tank fights in order to allow pointwhoring to take place, renegade is a tank game. Plus tank fights are one of the few areas of ren where cheats are still easy to detect.

You know that by pointwhoring you actually help your team, simply because you're keeping at least 1 player occupied of the enemy team, you're getting points and last but certainly not least, you might kill a building.

Try killing a building in quake, if you like that more >.>

By only whoring one building you're actually keeping less than one player busy, at least in larger games. As for example, if three arts whore a building, two hotties can keep it up.

I understand that a pointwhorer will keep some players occupied by repairing a building
but does that mean they deserve to get MVP?
The main reason why so many players do this is to get MVP or a hell of a lot of points.

That's what i thought: should be possible server side, no? Example: give the team +5.000 points for each building that gets destroyed. Idea implemented!
