Gaming Spec & Map Pics

TEADM DEATH MATCH Spec TDM.01

Maps will be released for download at a later date (waiting for patches to be completed to unite UK and US as one)

Briefing

* The team with the most enemy kills wins.

* 1 KILL = 1 PT.

* Have more kills than your opponent when time expires or reach the KILL LIMIT or to win.

* DO NOT LEAVE THE BLACK AREA or you will suffer damage.

There are parameters to choose time limit and/or kill limit.

Other Info

SCE is more of a Team vs Team group of players and some of us are in the works with 16aab to get out an Advance & Secure style of gameplay, but for now SHADOW COMPANY ELITE has developed decent designs for Team Death Match gameplay.  Some map designs are totally urban and others totally rural.  Farm Day is probably the closest you will see to the original Ghost Recon's Farm Day map so that is why it was names as such.  

We hope you will hop on and come join us in some decent gaming.  Feedback always welcome.  Take care... Currently ArmA 1.05 with the patches are on the server...

can't wait to run these mission on my own, there arent near enough TDM out there

Made some adjustments based on player feedback and have updated the server.  Still getting it to a point where it will be ready for others.  Again - Feedback welcome.  The night maps have howling wolves, crickets, etc, and the day have birds, and in some cases, barking dogs.  The farm map has chickens, lol.  Tried not to over do it, but they are getting there.

I haven't played the maps yet but I think that a death based scoring would be much more reliable. So every time a trooper dies, the other team gets a point. You could make day/night changes with parameter settings in the waiting screen.

[Tom_Anger 0]

Each time a team member dies the other team gets a point. The parameters is currently defaulted to unlimitted time & 10 kills. So the 1st team to get 10 kills wins. I may add the day/night parameters as well. Thanks celery. This is only an alternative style of gaming. When I get more made they will be implemented in other team vs team gametypes so hopefully in time..... Take care.

These are not in the ARMA COMBAT OPS yet.  They will most likely be released once the patch brings US and UK versions together.  For now I am trying to get feedback on changes to make.

Also, When AAS is ready these maps will each represent a base to capture and those will be 32-64 player and up maps.  I do have a question on something.  These TDM maps are 8 vs 8.  There is 1 team leader and various classes, however, each team can choose any weapon for their side at the armories.

1.) Should I split each side up to have 2 teams of 4?

I am thinking 2 teams of 4 moving around the maps in move cover move may be better than 1 leader and 7 followers if people want to play that way.  Not too many will depend on a leader, however, if these are used for matches later on and 2 guys know the maps well, they can be an aid in helping pick waypoints for players to go to.  Just trying to think out loud here.

2.) Should I just make the leader a specific class and the rest all automatic riflemen? If so, what weapons should all start with?

I want to keep consistency and not spread around various classes which may confuse some at 1st.  Right now the maps have various classes to start with.  Since any weapon can be chosen (depending on which side you are on) specific class really doesn't matter.

Today I am going to split up (TDM) FARM DAY to have 2 teams of 4 with automatic riflemen classes and see when folks join what they think.  I will base the other maps on that.

[Call911-AGE- 0]

just my opinion but think keepin team orientation would probably be best, as far as loadouts guess it depends on if it's strictly an infantry scenario or armor or both. We been playin the Beserk maps quite a bit til 1.7/8 an the mix of both is fun but gettin old, til were all unified then back to RTS style which is a fav among 1.5 but not runnin well for 1.6.

Thanks for the feedback.  From speaking with others it seems that 8 vs 8 is the size for this gametype by default.  I'm not trying to make a huge thing out of TDM, but am working with other player's feedback on this so I would like to keep some in touch at these forums as well.  Here is my update on some topics...

Some of these can be reviewed in the specs that I originally posted in this thread.

CHALK-TEAMS

I am still contemplating the idea where each side (8 players per side) will be setup into 2 chalk-teams (Alpha and Bravo).  A team leader for each can help on large TDM or Team Survival maps that are large and need to be split up.  They are all on the same team, but work with a different leader if people choose to play that way.

WEAPONS & CLASSES

I also think it will make sense setting up all players with Automatic Riflemen class weapons.  Then they can change their loadouts as they need and upon respawn this will help if they are getting into spawn trouble.  

SPAWN CAMPING

While on the subject - I am also sizing the spawn zones so that spawn camping will not be all that easy.  We all know that TDM maps are maps where teams move toward each's spawn to try and kill kill kill.  Good map design tries to make it difficult so I will do my best to spread out the spawn points.  I could add a zone that sets damage to the other team if they get too close to the player's spawn, but I believe that will turn players away - People will be like "HUH that's stupid".  I can see that happening for this gametype so I will not go that route yet.

If I can figure out how to allow them to choose new weapons before they respawn I will add that feature down the road.

Thanks armatek - I've used this logic in the past from the BAS helpful stuff.  

Is there a way so that when a player dies they can choose these?  Going a step further can it be setup in the description so that it is restricted by side as well? I may be missing something so I will check over the next couple of days. Got to work and coach baseball and stuff...

I do have ammo scripts for the weapon crates which allows players to choose any weapon (OPFOR weapons on their spawn and BLUFOR weapons on their own side). The method you have is good for the beginning, but it is not restricted by side and I cannot choose when waiting to respawn so I wonder if that is an option to write somewhere. If not no biggie.

Much appreciated for all you do.
