Who wants a Hyperion CP Server?

[Christian]

Okay you guys have asked time and time again! So we're seriously considering adding a Capture Point Server sometime in the middle of February. Is there anybody interested in this? Please reply to this post with your approval, feedback or suggestions!

[Sandie]

I want one!!! No Dustbowl!! LOL I'd love to have a CP server to play on to mix things up.

[Eraserpie]

A CP server would be lovely :-)

[ApatheticMango]

I'm interested, but in reality I'd probably only play if I saw people I know already in there.

[Wolfpup]

Hell ya!!!

I've been telling people on the server to come share their opinion but with the title of the thread we discussed it in originally (The maps suggestion one.) I don't think many people came, or found it if they did. (I did start providing a link/description but kinda late.) This thread will make things easier and I hope people will share their thoughts.

I'd almost kill puppies for a CP server, almost. (Pls, note the name.....says a lot! )

P.S.

K, just added a macro to my keyboard for this thread. I'll bring it up in game from time to time and try and direct people here. I really want this to work!

[Sparrow]

YES!!! I wouldn't mind. CP can be loads of fun with the right people.

[H. McCringleberry]

Please. Maybe some Koth mixed in, too.

Could I suggest some maps? Because there are some good CP maps (cp_process) and some bad ones (cp_dustbowl). Would we make this server no random kritz? :3 I mean, since the change to Quickplay, why not, right? If it was I'd play in it a lot more often than payload if it got filled up.

YES! One question, what is the name of the first map in the OP's post? It looks ALOT like Beach Dead from Conker Live and Reloaded for the original Xbox. By playing it in conker, it can tell you it is HARD as hell if you are attacking.

It is CP Frontline http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/98663 great map! lots of fun!

But I think as far as maps go, we will go with standard official maps at first. Then introduce custom maps in a month or so. But you are welcome to suggest custom maps now so we know what people are interested in.

Very much looking forward to a Hyperion CP server!!

Great to see positive feedback

I haven't played CP in a long time... would a 32 slot server work? or is it better with 24 players?
As Chainspell said, we might have to start with the official CP maps to start with, to get as much traffic as possible. If the server is popular enough, then we'll add custom maps like we did for Payload.

[Falconeer]

IMHO:
I'd go 24 players simply because a) it's easier to fill and b) the maps were all designed for 24.  When/if it's popular, you can start adding custom maps and go 32 player.

PS: Love the look of the cp_frontline you referred to earlier!

What about mixing in KOTH maps?  Would it be possible to mix in some KOTH maps like Harvest, Nuecleus, King and Viaduct?  I know they are "King of the Hill" maps, but they are still, technically, control points!

[maynard]

I miss CP maps so much, I haven't really played any since I moved to Hyperion.

And I think the new CP server should be 32 players.  I've played 32-player servers exclusively the entire time I've played TF2 and 32-player CP maps seem to work just as well as payloads.
