CTF Server with 20 Runes

[John_Stryker]

Ok, so I ask this question every three years or so. We've had plenty of mods in quake and had plenty of different servers in quake, so I want to ask a question.

Why not have a CTF server with 20 runes or so? I think it would be something different and it would be a lot of fun. Sure, it would be unfair due to what different runes can do in CTF, but it would be a blast. I think it'd bring a lot of traffic to a server and for once, we could have a full server besides shmack.

sounds to me like you just volunteered yourself into getting this done

They already have something like this.

It's called SuperCTF, there are 2 servers running it (one that has a solid ping, the other one seems incredibly laggy).

It might have been popular at one time, but I've only been playing Quake on the internet since 1999 and honestly I didn't start "paying attention" until around 2002 so I don't really know alot about the history of the mod and it's level of popularity.

Unless I'm thinking of something else, SCTF has a crappy hook and not many "oldschoolers" played it. I always remember the "noobs" would hang at the SCTF servers while the elite would play on pub ctf or 3wav servers.

Chuck had CTF running with the runequake source for awhile on his server and it was awsome. If someone brought this back I'd definately play it. Just remember, disable Dual Recal Rune in CTF

I don't think it work work at all. CTF + Runequake??? Nahhh its like ctf with an added bit of gayness.

I tried out the server this morning. Decent ping but they don't use the standard rune-usedeletetell and +hook. I couldn't use the runes or hook (too lazy to look it up). It was pretty cool none the less

Isn't it nice all the popular servers use the same aliases.

That silliness about having to figure out impulses is part of Quake's past, just about every server from IHOC to Intertex is user friendly now.

I've seen this one, but the runes are terrible there. I'm talking about having the same runes from shmack to use for CTF. I know some people say there is a "gayness" factor, but it's something different.

I think planting death spots all around the flag would be fun, or using divine wind to clear out a base of defenders for your teammate. Rune of recall would of course be ridiculous, as would blink rune. Cloaking would be fun when sneaking in a base. Holorune would be actually have a use in CTF Runes (when you're on D). Phoenix rune would be fun if you were carrying the flag and got fragged. Just respawn with the flag and quad

I'm not saying it would be orgasmic, but I think it'd be pretty fun.

Like I said before, when Chuck had this running it was fun as hell!!! Even though in the beginning he had Dual Recall in there it was fun trying to get that all set up and then end the round in like 20 seconds!
