Maybe lets go 1 step at a time. See if we can get random spawns working. Then we move forward from there.

Its not random as in random spots on the map, the maps would stay the same, only the side you played would be random. Changing from Assault <-> Defense.

I'm not fond of the switching between assault and defense idea. Like I said earlier, there is no way to guarantee that you spend the same amount of rounds on each side. If we did it, it would kill any sense of competition the game has. I was thinking maybe make the spawns for each team random throughout the same general area on some assault/defense maps.

So you'll have to think about whether constantly switching sides is worth losing competition. I realize we don't have much, but even scrims and friendly clan matches wouldn't be fair.

Please don't switch sides randomly,  it would only be confusing. Teams can spawn where ever but keep the objective same. Think about new players how they have no idea about the game if objective is random on every round.

How were the random spawns confusing? There are only 2 spawn points on the map. We had a topic where everyone seemed to be in favor of random spawn points on dual assault maps.

The more I've played scrims the more I'm suspicious about random spawns. On public servers they would be great, but they would only mess up the tournament mode. At least it would be difficult at start, but I guess it's only a matter of time when players would get used to it, for example the mission planning round could be like 6-8mins then so both teams could make their plans from both spawn point of view.

I really have no idea how the map editor works and how much you can put options there and where ever, so just hypothetically speaking: the best way would be to put spawn points that are different depending on game mode, so on public match the spawn point would be random, but on tournament mode it would be static. Like I said I have no idea how it works, but are you able to put some code on one instance inside the map, program it's properties depending on some variable? I guess it's not possible either to have an option in adminpanel from where to click random-spawns on when they'd be available?

I would love to see random spawns in Urban Assault, Mout McKenna, Rummage and SF Sandstorm, Im sure they'd work on these maps very well, BUT - the big but - only on public servers.

Don't forget monkey island to puth random spawn point and this map can handle 50 players easy.  This we talkt about  befor summer . And more objects in middle of the field to.
