Pretty, but not good for this map. too noisy, too slow, blocks the ladder.

BUT cool fo sure.

Agreed. Still cool.

Looks epic, Spanky! The only issue I've ever had with this map was being able to shoot at assault spawn through certain windows (which greatly favors defense). Have you done anything about those?

I'm in the middle of shrinking the filesize of Contingency. I'll post a dropbox download to the map and briefings in this thread when I finish it. If one of you guys could stick it in the dev dropbox, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: Here's the updated map: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25230487/MP_SF_Contingency.zip

If you can't kill the player in the time it takes for them to pull out a flash you deserve to lose that fight.

Besides, It's always so satisfying when you're flashed, all like "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" and you end up killing the motherfucker somehow. XD

Yes, and reducing the effect of flashes will make an influx of thousands new players.

Why is that? I fail to see why your opinion should be superior.

To put it simply: The reason for the flashbang duration change has not been demonstrated to be anything more than opinion. There are also those who have an opposing opinion. However, my position in this argument is simple: unless it is demonstrably clear that almost everyone here is in favor of this change, it is not worth the effort because, while certain people who share your opinion would be happy with the change, others would not.

This would result in fighting amongst players all over the forum, which is exactly what the admins are trying to avoid. There is no way you can prove that shortening the flash duration would bring a considerable amount of players to the game, and the same would be true if the scenario was opposite and people wanted to increase the duration because they felt it was too short. It's not about people's opinion, it's about making a risky change to a game mechanic that works just fine. The evidence for that is that a decent amount of people still play this game.

Flashes never got useless... As Tidi said, they were kinda bugged outside (sometimes you would get flashed 1 sec^^), but it was still way better than 2.5 flashes. If it's possible, just do it ^^

I understand that this change is something you want, but I'm pretty sure "A few of us want this, so change it and fuck what anyone else thinks" isn't an effective argument. Additionally, if the change was made, certain other people would push for it to be undone. There really is no point, and that means you're asking for the devs to put in a lot of work for precisely nothing. You need to look at the broader picture, not just what you want.

Everything included in the download is what's required to run Pipeline with a normal AA installation. There have been other things added to mAAp (Koden converted 2.8 textures over and put them in another package) but the 7z file in the original post is JUST for Pipeline.

All right, then I'll get my laptop running so I can reconnect to the dropbox. Could you pm me whatever I need to know in order to connect?
