Gametype - Jailbreak
« on: April 28, 2012, 05:53 »
I was speaking to Raj about this on the ONS server earlier and I thought I would share this with the rest of you guys.

There is a Gametype that I am a HUGE fan of, and that is Jailbreak.

Here's a quick summary:
Quote from: jailbreak beyondunreal
In Jailbreak, like in many other game types, your objective is to frag the opposing players — but unlike other game types, fragged players go straight into safe custody in the enemy jail when they're killed. To get them out of there, one of their teammates will have to fight his way into the enemy base and trigger the jail release switch that's hidden there (Jailbreak!). It is your task to defend your prison release switch and to free your own teammates when they're in jail. If your opponents manage to get all members of your team in prison, the opposing team will score a point, and your team will die a horrible death.

Jailbreak strongly focuses on team play and forces players to take on different roles for their team as the game goes on: defending their release switch, going into offense to frag opponents, or attacking the enemy base to release your own team members from prison. You'll have to be a versatile player to survive and win a game of Jailbreak.

Now I know Raj has to pay money to rent a server =P but I'm not gonna ask for that quite yet =P I want you guys to check this out and if it becomes an interesting topic between us, maybe we could have another server ;P I wouldn't mind donating a good amount of cash to help out with such though =] Though a listen server would be cool every once in a while xD

Just my 2 cents -Bigbigbuddy

Well Raj will probably need more than two cents to pay for a server. I am a good fan of jail break sadly the match just seems to quick, and to reliant on your allies.

Well "Just my 2 cents" is a saying as in, "here is what I had to say, or here is my input" but I would obviously donate more than that =P

Jailbreak isn't that fast if you increase the score limit =P that's why I prefer a limit of 5 over the average 3 =] and by heavily relying on your allies it only boosts the want for strategy and true team play. I typically play this with bots and friends so I haven't really had much of a chance to play with others online =/ except when I got lucky and saw a listen server online, which funny enough was really popular =D

I've played it, quite fun.
I would like a multi-gametype server where this could be included. Maybe some day...

I was joking about the two cents thing. I'm sorry I meant the time it takes for a whole team to get jailed. Then again I have only played it with bots and with the YaRM mutators.

Actually it's quite possible xD

Once I'm out of school I could focus on this and help out =P

Well increase the teams (I prefer 8-8 or 9-9) and the highest level for bots and you've got yourself competition ;D

I don't play with bots.

Anyone can configure their mapvote to support multiple gametypes. Just a whole new server would be required, since ONS is way tot popular on its own and 90% of KF Mod players will never want to hear of anything other than KF.

well jailbreak is fun but i dont think many people will play it...
once i played a JB server and noone of my team were fighting together... they either just stood around and didnt do anything or they were killing everything...
if ut2k4 would have geomod2.0 the whole building would have crushed

I know it requires a whole new server =] and I wouldn't mind donating to the fact =P I also know of a site that has pretty cheap prices for UT2004 servers =P

I've also played JB on UT:GOTY Edition =P it's pretty fun xD but I still believe the UT2004 version is much better ;P
