Unreal Tournament Assault server question...

[err]

Hi ,

I have been hosting an assault UT server to play with several of my friends.

However, I notice that the team that I am playing for (i.e:blue) would always get a time advantage againts the other team

For instance, in the Mazon map, I would get 10 minutes to attack the castle whereas I would only get 3 minutes to defend the castle. This is totally unfair to the other players and most are pissed off

How do I change the timing of the Assault game ? been looking for it to no avail

Thanks for any inputs !

I don't know the answer, but you could post your question at

http://www.planetunreal.com/forums There are a lot of server admins who lurk there. I'm sure you could get some help.

This isn't a bug... that's just how the gametype works. The whole point of Assault is to see which team can reach the goal in the least amount of time.

For example:

Blue team starts on offense (the timer starts at 10 minutes) and gets to the goal in 3 minutes.
Blue team now goes on defense and the timer gets set to 3 minutes. Therefore if the red team reaches the goal at all you know they've won (because they've obviously beaten the blue teams time), but if the 3 minutes run up you know the blue team won(because even if red could reach the goal after the timer runs up it wouldn't matter because their time would logically be more than the blue teams time, thus making red the losers anyway.)

I hope all that makes sense... It's really not as complicated as I made it sound.

Thanks for the reply... I didn't know that it is how UT assault is played ... I must be so ignorant

Anyway it would be fair IMO if both the team gets an equal time on the battle...

Thanks... if anyone have anymore input, please do so ...

but if both teams get the same amount of time to attack and both reach the goal, how would you decide the winner?

DOH! (I knew that).

The idea is to beat the other teams score. Let's say the first team assaults the base in 9 minutes. Thats how much time you have. If it takes them 10 minutes, then you get 10 minutes. If you can't do in less, then you lose.

So that's how the game is played eh ?

I see ... pretty interesting .. I must be so stupid not to realize that

Thanks all for the inputs

If the first team fail the objective in the mwx allowed, the second team gets the mex allowed time. IF the first team gets the objective, the 2nd team has the amount of time the first team took to get the job done.
