How often do you REALLY play the different game types?
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 4:14 pm
When people release a mod but don't fix the spawn points for different game types, they take a lot of flak from some members of the mod community. I suspect this is not so much because people really play all the different game types, but because of the compulsive desire for 100% completion that seems very common among video game players.
In my brief tenure on Kai, I would guess that 90% of the available games were some form of Slayer. CTF was maybe 8%, with Assault and KOTH splitting the last 2%. Do you think that's accurate? My own habits follow a similar trend when I'm playing split screen with a friend or two.
I suspect modders are getting ragged on for not fixing spawns and game types when the truth is that they aren't played very often anyway. But I could be wrong.
I'd like to test this theory. Here is a poll (the built-in poll for the forum is not sophisticated enough), and I will try to update the results periodically, assuming I get enough responses for it to be worthwhile.
Please copy this format and post how often (what percent of the time) you play these different game types. I know it can depend on the map, but just make a percentage estimate across the board.
Here's mine:
Slayer FFA: 15%
Team Slayer: 80%
CTF: 3%
KOTH: 2%
Assault: once in a blue moon
Oddball: 0
Juggernaut: 0
Other: 0
