    Personally I would take a 0-0 game in 30 mins as opposed to a 10-0 game for an hour. :D

Plus, if you have an hour to play it is nice to jump into a round and be able to start a fresh round after 30 mins, makes playing more worthwhile.

D bunkering x 10 is the new standard. Seems like Sniper is more popular than normal too. Just observations.

    well the bad news is we are back to one hour rounds. The good news is you can all go back to playing like you normally do, yay?

    I was loving the 30 minute matches, seemed like more people were getting involved in O. Oh well either way is fine.

here's an idea... start recording wins as a stat ...don't allow people to switch teams(or limit the number of teamswitches per round)...and any other loophole people WILL find to exploit it...
when you start recording wins as a stat...alot more people will quit playing DM in my opinion

THEN when people need to use their stats to talk shit...there is a real stat that really matters...not a k:d ratio...not killstreaks...WINS...

ESPECIALLY if you just now start recording a win stat...everyone is on level ground...not some people living on wins recorded before steam...not wins befoer there was a min number of people required to be on the server for stats to be logged...a new stat for us that have been playing here for 10+ years...

oh and if people start teamstacking...just as an fyi...all you gotta do is sit in spec till the teams are split up...

just some ideas
I absolutely LOVE this idea! Why did no one think of this within the past decade?! Argue against it if you want, but this will get stat-whores on O.

    it wasnt supposed to go back to 60 minute rounds, I had missed a part where it set that time (specifically when it ended a round early from the cap limit) -- should all be fixed now.

    I haven't seen any compelling reasons to shorten the game yet, but let's say there were some. Are they so compelling as to cut the time in HALF? Just enough time to develop a tact or read one, no time to adjust.

I'm with Crowbarman. If the time HAS to be cut, shave off 15 mins.

    I think if drippy- decides to stick with this, he should archive the old records and then start fresh. Having literally half of the time will make beating the existing "bests" pretty much impossible.

It'd also be nice to have a completely fresh take on stats with the new 30-minute time limit. I'm sure fighting out for top position on all of the stats would bring a lot of old players back.

I'd certainly spend the better part of a few weeks seeing how I stack up on newly-even ground.
