I think It can be played twice or more. I want only one team point Even if game do not become overtime.

When there are a few people , almost games will finish before 10 minutes. The time of almost all games is short. People leave cause game is not interest.

But do not need to perform it 4 times or more. If game is too long, people leave too. Can you shorten a round time and set Team score is certainly 1 please?. (with goal score is 2)

I did not write forum..... I worte that in this forum. :-/

Pomona, I'm not sure I understand.

SV is 2 points for a win. If I set it to 3, you could play a map for nearly 2 hours. The match time has already been reduced to 15 minutes, from the default of 20.

Epic really needs to have an option for best two out of three, not points. And they need to have some kind of team balancer to make the teams more even stats wise. If they did that, the maps would run longer.

If I'm not understanding you, please try again.

ok . I'm sorry My explanation is insufficient. I do not also think that extend game time more than now.(When a game is prolonged) Please Do not change goal score. Goal score is 2. But Even If someone destroyed Core when within a time, Team score is just only 1.

I think Everybody does not want the game to finish with 5 minutes. The game has already ended almost players in loading.

I wish that an idea is transmitted.

Brilliant Pomona if doable.

That would limit the game to three match's at most. Load times are always killer the first round and for quick maps it's game over and onto the next match. Even worse with few ppl and bots.

Basically 1 point given regardless of overtime or not.
Game point still 2.
no more 2 points given for a win.

Yes, that would effectively be two out of three.

Unfortunately, it's hard coded that a victory is 2 points. There's nothing I can do about that.

OK. I considered that problem several days. I don't want finish a game with 5 minutes. If There is Mutator which can edit TeamScore , I want to apply that to server. But I could not find it. Moreever, Nobody can make it.

But, I've got good idea.

Setup the RoundTime to 1. Yes. Just 1min.
And Edit UT2004.ini
[Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame]
OvertimeCoreDrainPerSec=5

Game will become overtime immediately. But PowerCore take about 20 minutes until blow up.
Probably, It is necessary to try it several times. I think OvertimeCoreDrainPerSec is better to 5 around.
Problem is PowerCore will become "soft".

What I would prefer is a 20 minute regulation time, but for the cores to drain faster in overtime -- Setting the regulation time to 15 minutes means overtime is entered more readily. However, I'm not sure if there's a way to increase the core drain speed without screwing up the server listing, etc. In any case, it's not a big deal, as we have a pretty good rotation with few pure stalemate maps (Chainsisile, House, etc.).
