Hello,
I don't play often, but when I want to, nobody is playing on this server.
Here are my complaints, feedback and praises in no particular order.
1. de_dust2_2x2
Real people (not those coming from custom CS-Clients that are deeply connected to boosting sites that automatically connect you to a new server every few minutes or something) "hate" this map, new players rarely join AND stay because it's not regular dust2. "de_dust2_2x2" has become a symbol of "there aren't enough people playing here", which isn't a good look in my opinion. Also, I noticed whenever the server changes map (after timelimit) it goes straight back to de_dust2_2x2, even with 10+ people playing. At least that was the case once a couple weeks ago. Let people play both bombspots. This "only A" philosophy is boring and only imposes arbitrary rules which lessen the fun of playing, especially for those that aren't familiar with "only A". They get flamed, maybe kicked by some random guy who bought admin, etc. Let de_dust2 rise and shine again.
2. "Game" in Server Browser/Server Info
"LPC Public WAR!" is a terrible name, let alone completely demolishes the meaning of a server browser filter system. Just let it be default "Counter-Strike".
3. Server name
I suggest "LamdaProCS.com | DD2 only [EU] 24/7" as it is present here in the forum. The current one with this "Pub-War" thing (whatever that's supposed to mean) doesn't cut it at all. Make servers consistent across the LPC system with a naming scheme that makes sense and isn't "playful" to a point of confusion.
4. HUD Text In-Game
90% of the time, all the text on the HUD overlaps (at least at lower resolutions). It shows three different HUD texts on top of each other AND shows basically the same message every time ("visit our shop"). Reduce this to one powerful message. And please remove the red "Hola amigos" text that randomly pops up every few minutes. Just add a welcome message to the motd if not already present.
5. de_dust2 is broken
There's a plugin installed to automatically switch between mode "A" and "B" when de_dust2 is running. The problem is, when we tested switching to de_dust2 the server became unresponsive, e.g. the server appeared to be offline in the server browser. Only people with the IP (and maybe those without Steam) were able to join.
6. Gamemode "A" and "B"
This plugin is amazing if it would work properly. It's a good compromise of keeping de_dust2 but not only playing A. If you could fix it so the server doesn't bug out anymore in the server browser, this would be the way to go to remove de_dust2_2x2 forever. But please change the russian text of the plugin.
7. Chat spam
Messages of people disconnecting, messages of kills and points for individuals and teams, all of this stuff just adds more clutter to the chat in which you're trying to advertise, too ("visit the shop for free hp per kill" etc). Remove these gameME messages, they don't add anything meaningful to the game.
8. Command "/vipmenu"
Not working for me, nothing pops up. Server claims this will give me free weapons, but nothing happens.
That's it for now, feel free to add to this list and discuss here. If anyone is still playing on this server that is.
