Default Class Limit Mod?

I seen this on other servers. Certain classes will be limited. There were some extreme ones like "Sniper only unlocked when 24 players on the server"


While I am not for something radical as we all like our freedom but maybe we could fool around with something like this a bit?


For example having a limit on 2 Engi and 2 Snipers or something. Maybe 3 Engi and 2 Snipers. Maybe 3 medics max to prevent ridiculus half team medic half team assault rushes. Maybe 2 Spies max. Really open for discussion here - but I think something alike might make some sense.


Things would be able to be turned on/off, too no problem. Any toughts on this?

Good idea for classes like engi, scout, sniper, spy, but bad for medic. You don't want to be forced with 3 bad medics, and a team that can get half of the guys medic for an early bunch of ubers deserves to have those medics. The only thing I worry about is idiots going engy on maps where they are useful and being totally useless.

it would be nice to see pablo load in slow and be forced to play something like Engi, and cRank being stuck as medic.

oh the humor goes on and on

I would ask Ultra for his graphic tweaks so I would be the first one to load in.

Going to disagree purely due to the fact that people are going to join teams instantly and pick their class to get around the limit. Then you end up with some players (good and bad) joining instantly to pick their class, and I would really hate to see what this would do to team balance. Pretty sure I'm not the only one that loads in instantly but waits to join a team due to observing balance first. The teams generally have enough problems already to need another factor making people join instantly.

I do see where Lyra's coming from though, but its generally something a bit of communication can fix.

This would be amazing if you could set the Scout limit to zero, thus eliminating the class making the game more enjoyable for all.
