Dear Frankie,
First of all, please forgive me if I ask something that has already been asked. When I started typing this message, there was 39 pages of replies. I made an honest effort to get through the first few pages, but I don't have the time to look though every one. My question relates to game variants and Forge.
I love the new options that are available to us when customizing game variants. I also love the new interface for doing this, and the fact that we can do this all while in a multiplayer lobby. There seem to be a few options missing, however. What do I do if I want to remove all deployable equipment from a map, or turrets, or powerups? I realize that this is achievable in the forge, but it seems that this should have been an option to customize on the fly. As an example, say I wanted to create a SWAT team slayer variant. I can remove the weapons and grenades from the maps, just like in H2. But I can't remove the equipment. This means maps like "The Pit" (which works great for SWAT, by the way) have a power drainer and regenerator spawn which are kind of pointless for the SWAT gametype. This also means the turrets are there, which is not normally a part of SWAT. This forces me to create custom map variants for every map that I'd like to play my SWAT game type on.
