ERT: XRT boogaloo

Post by Joe4444 » 04 Apr 2017, 13:28

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):ghosts should be told if the ERT is an XRT or not.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):people who don't enjoy playing xeno or don't want to be XRT can avoid pressing the join response team button.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):announce in Dchat if the ERT is an XRT.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):edit some spaghetti code and have yourself a dolmio day.

I rarely play Xeno, and every time I do it's as an XRT. Really fucks it up seeing as I have only a basic understanding of the specialized antag role. +1 for clarity and keeping me and other shit Xeno players out of the lineup.

It might be easier to just have XRT and normal ERT under a separate preference. So everyone clicks to join as normal, but if it's XRT the decider is the XRT preference selection.

What do preferences do exactly? Do they automatically put you in an ERT list?
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

If you don't want to play xenomorphs, don't select to join the ERT. If you want help marines, play a marine. Denied.
