    Hello everybody, I just had an idea of maybe making a F-O-G dodgeball server sometimes. I think it would be a great succsess, cause a lot of people want to practise their Airblast skills and it's really fun to play with friends. It's also a great place to just spend time on and get to know the pyros flamethrower a little better. Since I've been a great dodgeball fan on TF2 I would like to see this up someday. The server may not come soon and It may not come at all, afterall It's just my suggestion. I just want to know what you people think about this.


    Would you like a Dodgeball server or not?



    What is Dodgeball?

    Dodgeball is a gameplay mod for Team Fortress 2 and was originally developed by Voogru as a private Metamod extension. It was then made into a public Sourcemod plug-in by Asherkin.

    In Dodgeball, everyone plays as the Pyro. Rockets and nuclear bombs are fired from a pre-determined spot in the map. Each team of Pyros uses their compression blast ability to reflect the rockets and bombs back at the other team.
    These projectiles are designed to follow one targeted player until deflected by an air blast. When the projectile is air blasted, its affinity and color changes and it targets a random player on the opposite team. It gains speed with each deflection until the projectile's new target does not successfully deflect it, damaging or killing the target. The rocket can also be reflected into the ground to allow the player to survive and reset the rocket, and even rocket jump.
    Gameplay continues until one team is eliminated entirely. Players are usually continuously supplied with ammunition via the map or a custom Flamethrower.
    There are two types of projectiles used: the rocket and the nuclear bomb. The rocket looks like a standard Soldier's critical rocket with the same damage as a normal critical rocket. The "nuke" rockets are larger, slower, and usually appear in the form of the bomb attached to most Payload carts and bleeps like a Level 1 Sentry Gun. These bombs have a much bigger area of effect and a much higher damage output, able to kill anyone within its blast radius. As a result, players tend to pay more attention to reflecting nukes.

    Maps: The design of Dodgeball maps can differ greatly in theme and style, though they are often centered around a large open area with a gap or obstacle separating the two teams. Some maps will allow the teams to interact more closely, though this can lead to players juggling opponents or blasting them into environmental damage, something which is generally frowned upon.
    Servers running maps which allow opposite teams to reach each other will often change the Flamethrower's properties to negate any burn damage players may attempt to cause. They may also restrict players to their primary weapon for the same reason.

    Variants:
    There are multiple variants of Dodgeball currently being used on many servers. Settings can both be server side or map side and can have vastly different effects on gameplay.
    Speed Dodgeball is a major variant of the original multiple rocket Dodgeball. In Speed Dodgeball, there is only one rocket in play and it speeds up at a much faster rate than normal. This results in much faster, focused gameplay, typically seen only towards the end of normal Dodgeball matches.
    Other variants that servers may use include:
    Limited number of rockets in play, e.g. 2 rockets active.
    No weapon restriction, allowing players to use all of their weapons.
    If this is the case, the Flare Gun can be used to destroy rockets and/or nukes.
    Full weapon restriction, preventing the use of any weapons except for Flamethrowers.
    Rocket-only or nuke-only gameplay.

    We're busy setting up a jailbreak server first. Maybe after that we'll start looking at new servers.

    I tried it once and didn't understand what was going on, but I figured my team were so advanced they accidentally airblasted their hat's along with the bombs.

    Apparently they didn't and just thought you needed shoot it with fire.

    We might do such Servers once we have expanded into the USA (again) - this will be in around 2 months.
