as most people know i'm a 2fort whore, and sometimes it just gets to a ridiculous stalemate of both teams turtling, and nothing but boredom. Before I get the "LOL DONT PLAY 2FORT" wise-asses...I would like to see if we could possibly on the votemenu see a "scramble now" option...with a slightly larger percentage like 80% or so..because sometimes on maps like 2fort or doublecross or other shenanigansy maps the round could go on for like 3-4 hours easily...

I feel like this would be abused to break a solid defense.
I can understand it on ctf where rounds can literally last hours on end, but I don't see it being a good idea anywhere else.

Like, at all. It's like adding a "kill all players" votemenu command.

Which is why I said lets put a larger amount, make both teams almost universally have to agree with the scramble...if 80-85% agree the game is that bad they dont mind getting killed to scramble, that's perfectly reasonable imo.
 
I'm gonna give this a +1, if both teams agree that one team is just getting dominated, it's no fun to wait for auto-scramble, so yeah a good 85-90% maybe? idk we'll see how it goes.
 
"Hey, my team is winning! I should scramble now so I can possibly move to the losing team!"

Hence the high percentage, 80-85% would not be abused...a lot of the time there isn't a "winning team' on CTF, its a dreadfully boring stalemate.

Edit:
and if it is feasible, and not a massive inconvenience, if we can only put that on CTF servers, I'm fine with that.

I'm telling you now, this probably isn't ever going to happen regardless.

Eh you're probably right, worth a shot in the very least, the stalemates can get massively boring. I personally don't see how it's anymore unreasonable than allowing a high percentage of the server to literally disallow a player from playing there...if a large majority can BAN a player from the server (albeit temporarily) I don't see why a large majority can simply not scramble the teams.
 
If there's someone on the winning team who wants to switch teams, they'll probably just switch teams. Someone on the losing team will want to jump ship anyhow.

It doesn't quite happen like that - eh well got declined without anybody really presenting a reasonable argument to counter the entire 80% of the server wanting the teams scrambled. Dumb of me to suggest it I suppose.
 
not gonna lie i'd -1 this just because so much of the time when a votescramble goes up in turbine I've JUST pushed out with my favorite demo of the moment.

Also, for me the best part of ctf is the turtle. But I'm a medic. And engi.

And you're a pyro. so lol.

and I play other things than pyro, infact I havent been playing pyro nearly as much as I normally do in pubs. I just don't like when both teams are turtling, boring as fuck.

because you can't do anything about 3 sentry guns. Which in my mind is the minimum number of sentries to really turtle.

You'd be surprised what I can do with my elite reflects!
