I love a good bit of thawing. Here's a few moments:

Yet, you go for the thaw 1st and everything else comes after - in freon that is _basically the only_ correct decision that one has to make and some fail to make. By thawing one dictates / forces the gameplay / flow and through that one can also hit more (if that is the goal). Like I wrote - this is a game of statistics where making correct decisions (=THAW) constantly will guarantee good results regardless of results in a smaller timeframe nor what you were trying to do in the first place ("having fun")
What you wrote in the other part of your answer sounds to me that you should play only FFA. Neither freon nor any form of CTF is suitable for "doing my own thing" and calling it "I only play to have fun". These are teamplay based gamemodes - the biggest fun comes from teamplay, adapting to other teammates respective gamestyles and doing your best together as a team NOT from individual "I like to have fun by wanking in the server by playing FFA in a teambased gamemode simply because this is my definition of fun". Exactly like a virtual representation of a collaboration from school / any team sports / work where wankers would be negatively looked upon
Edit: the point is that one can easily hop around and spam rockets in Freon if thawing is put 1st

I do remember that game where we've had the original thaw race >:D
kops:
But here's the thing. It's a public server. That means you're going to get all abilities, all play styles. Yes, if someone is just shooting rockets at a wall then they'll be warned and kicked. I'm perfectly comfortable with how I play and I imagine most other players are, too.
I can imagine it's frustrating that it's not as competitive and skilled as you'd like but as soon as we start gatekeeping based on one person's perception of fun and to what level the game should be played then a small, friendly (on the whole) community becomes even smaller and exclusive.
Yr absolutely right on the thawing - play through the radar and kill en route.

:D last thaw race we had we lost trying taking risks to thaw most! Well deserved loss. Great fun.
