You can just sit next to a dispenser or 200 ammo box at a corner, and continuously spam buildings out in the open. The sentries will unlikely get more than one kill(or even one at all), but you get mad hlstats points doing this.

Then again, even my own buildings often get blown away by spam every five seconds despite my best efforts to protect them, so it's not always intentional.

Yeah it's more the build it where it can't do any help but be killed instantly which is the issue. Building everything at spawn and switching class is just lame, and if frog has fixed that then even better!

Just a quick question, we had a stupid scramble last night that took place about 30 seconds after starting the third round on yukon, this ended up suiciding 90% of the players, deducting points and messing up the round as those alive could take the mid and most of the next point before everyone had respawned - any way of stopping mid round scrambles? end of round are fine, mid is just silly...

Scrambles are a bit silly. I know its not that good when a game is majorly one-sided, but the fact that anyone can bring a vote up to scramble is a bit much.

Was in a game where things looked dire in the outset, wich prompted a guy to type !scramble. Vote got trough and after that the rest of the round was a nice, balanced fight. only then the scramble kicked in and it was ruined once more. Scrambles but everyone = leading to more scrambles cause you can't really get a balanced set of players all the time. Often its better to play the map out as is to get a diferent map and a different setup.

The scrambles are hit and miss. Sometimes they save the map from a hopeless steamroll. Sometimes they make it even worse.

Mind you, admins can either force a scramble vote, force an instant scramble, or cancel one in progress at their discretion. Since HH has quite a fair share of admins, they might want to start making liberal use of these features.

iv canceled quite a few scrambles, the problem is they just do it again.. and again. people need to learn that some you win and some you loose, just cos your loosing and its not stalemate dont mean the teams need scrambling. but no one ever listens when i say it ingame

Aye for someone to win someone has to lose, never gonna change. Constant stalemate is no solution. I would rather win 1 game and lose 2, than stalemate 3, it's just boring toss and that's why I dislike anything that promotes stalemates. (engis/poor maps for 24ppl etc)

Just putting this out there,

would it be possible to give only the HH regs the ability to vote scramble (behind admins though), the vast majority of us are capable enough to notice when a game requires a vote scramble?

Most scrambles I've seen are by regs, this would achieve nothing. :P

Would love to see that mid-game scramble disappear, I hate being killed by a vote.
