Subject: Is It Just Me, Or Does The New Layout Suck!
-------------------------------------------
I hate the new layout. I can't tell what type of game I am joining anymore. It used to be easy, now it is just confusing. I like to play CTF on the big maps. Every time I join what I think is a big map, it is not. They need to go back to the previous listing method, or fix this one.

Agreed.
They've really *bleep*ed up the game at the moment.

SERVER TYPES
If you're new to Warhawk, look for servers with "NEWBIE" in the name, such as "US-NEWBIE_Large1". These servers are rank-limited to Sergeant and below, and have no friendly fire.
If you're familiar with the game and just looking for a quick match, look for servers with "Casual" in the name, such as "US-Casual_TDM1". These servers are what you're probably used to: no friendly fire, and team switching is allowed (with balance enforced).
If you're a hardcore player looking to roll with your friends or clan and play a tough, serious match, or if you're one of our long-time vets who remembers the days of team damage and quick respawns, then "Pro" servers such as "US-Pro_TDM1" are definitely for you. These servers have friendly fire enabled and 3-second respawns. Team switching is allowed, and balance is enforced, but teams are not re-randomized between rounds, so once you get your crew together, you'll stay together.
PLAYLISTS
Casual and Pro servers are split out into multiple playlists for the various game modes. A "DM" in the name indicates Deathmatch; for example, "US-Pro-DM1". This is a server that plays nothing but Deathmatch games.
A "TDM" in the name indicates Team Deathmatch, such as "US-Pro-TDM1". Again, this is all Team Deathmatch, all the time.
A "CTF" in the name indicates Capture the Flag, and a "ZNS" indicates Zones. You can probably see the pattern emerging here.
The unique one is "Mix", such as "US-Pro_Mix-A1" or "US-Pro_Mix-B1". These are similar to the previous "Vari" servers and host multiple gametypes. In "Mix-A" servers you've got large maps in CTF and ZNS. In "Mix-B" servers you've got medium and small maps running TDM and CTF.
The number in a playlist is just there so that servers have unique names. It lets you easily tell your friends *which* CTF server you're in. It does *not* mean there are different playlists. So for example, "US-Pro_DM1" and "US-Pro_DM2" are both running the exact same playlist and ruleset.

Its a bit of a shame they got rid of the 24 player servers. The layout on Badlands (Skirmish) was a classic, I haven't seen it since......

Right.
This isn't a ''Let's all praise the game and love it, and your not allowed to dislike a feature about it'' discussion board.
It's a ''Post what you think'' discussion board.
The fact is, I never said that Warhawk sucks completely. I said that the new changes have ruined the game. It's an opinion, and my opinion based upon a single aspect of the game that has changed, of which I dislike.
And yes, your post can be deleted, as no where in it does it actually voice an issue about the game, it's about Vito's actions. Come on, can we have a bit of common sense there please.

quote ps2fan4lifeFirstly, theres a huge difference between that and what this thread is here for. This thread is for complaining about the new LAYOUT of the online, as opposed to the game, and I'm more than sure that even those complaining, are still enjoying the game, so two different things. You can easily hate the interface you have to go through to get to the actual gameplay, and still you can absolutely love the game itself.It's okay for people to complain, but if you don't like the game, don't go to the forums. Kinda like going to a 360forum and then screaming out loud the 360 sucks. That's stupid.
But now I'm the bad guy for complaining about a complaint.
THAT'S stupid.
And if you don't agree with with what the problem with the interface, then there is more than enough grounds for you to counter-his post by using a counter-argument as to whyh you think it's made it better, and by reasoning your views. And also make note that, the first post was well reasoned as to why he dislikes it, he didn't just say "I hate the new layout" and leave it at that, he went into detail and said why - "I can't tell what type of game I am joining anymore. It used to be easy, now it is just confusing. I like to play CTF on the big maps. Every time I join what I think is a big map, it is not." If you don't agree with that your more than welcome to post and say that you don't agree, but you'd need points backing up your argument
quote ps2fan4lifeUmm... but your NOT voicing your opinions on the game, nowhere in your post have you mentioned Warhawk, which essentially means that it is liable for deletion, however, whether it will be deleted or not is Vito's callAnd the best part about this is that this post can't be deleted, because after all, 'People are allowed to voice issues they have with a game as long as they do it appropriately.'

Now why the heck did someone flag Krunals post?
And yes, while I love the game, I have not been playing because of the new layout. I primarily play CTF with the large maps. Since I cannot locate them, I haven't been playing. Not even sure if I will buy the new BM pack for it. Especially since I just got the COD4 map pack.

quote Crimson FuryI used to play 32 player CTF exclusively.Now I have to settle with CTF and Zones in rotation.That annoys me a little.But I like the game so much that I can just deal with it.Now why the heck did someone flag Krunals post?

As Krunal said, members are just voicing their problems with the new layout, which is fine. Now, if any one of them came in here and said something like:quoteThen yeah, that would have been a problem.WARHAWK SUCKS! ur all fags for playing it
In this case, Crimson didn't just say that the new layout sucks, he explained why.
And as far as your last sentence, I can delete your post if I please, because nowhere in there did you say a single thing about the game. You're just complaining about something that never happened.
But I won't be deleting your post, so no worries.
Everyone get back on topic with the thread please.
PS - And Krunal flagged his own post because he is lazy and wanted me to see it without typing up a PM.
