Team games rock. While I loved vanilla CTF and yes I've played the Lasermine and Netdoor servers with lots of fun, my absolute favorite ultimate team Q2 game was Jail Break. That game DEMANDED team coordination in order to win - no bones about it. I had loads of fun playing that mod! Good maps too! Oh yeah, how bout Loki Minion's CTF..?! Now that was great too, loads of maps, off-hand grapple, sounds etc....fun fun fun fun. Team WoD also was great fun, especially the latter versions in my opinion (CTF)... thanks Cy..!! But at the end of the day as you've pointed out, not much interest apparently from the group other than a pickup Coop game every now and then.... -Auto- > > > >
