assault server recognition

[cooper]

Seeing as how we have so many assault servers with the same name, would it be a good idea to differentiate between them, changing the name of each on a bit? For instance putting part of the ip at the end
(SPAWNPOINT.COM|CS_ASSAULT 24/7|DWP-OFF|108.4)
or putting the location of the server in the name, such as the UK assault.

Very time consuming trying to find a specific server...

Do you need to differentiate? They are all the same anyway. If you wanted their location, it would be for the sole purpose of getting the least laggy server, which you could look at the ping for anyway. The zombie mods I play on are numbered 1,2,3,4, and 5, but they actually have different maps.

It's not really all that bad Da's has the name in it and then there are two 28 slot servers as well as two 24 slot. They are kinda spread out location wise so you should be able to figure it out ping wise as ChristensenCT mentioned. Some servers get different regulars I imagine that is why you are asking?

I'd find it useful if they had slightly different names, sometimes when I spot a hacker on using HLSW it can take me longer than necessary to find the right server.

I say name them after animals, like Gnu or Otter. Or perhaps a more practical way would be to say if they have any weapon restrictions.

Christensen you're missing Coopers point methinks.

If you see the number of forum posts regarding the "24/7 Assault server" with no distinction as to which one you might see where he's coming from.

Also ALL the 24/7 Assault servers may have the same map but run very different weapon set up configurations.

For Instance 167.17 allows ANY and ALL weapons to be used. The UK Assault server restricts auto-snipers and allows 1 AWP per team whereas 108.4 restricts both auto-snipers AND AWP's.

So you see where the confusion arises :eek"
