First of all I think this map, we're currently using is cool, because we don't need to have two servers(Outlands, City), but it's extremely glitchy, it's too big, it's creating lag and some other things, I'm gonna mention separately.The City part of the map is too small.There are no districts, there's only plaza.The whole City is plaza.I think It's much better if we use normal map(City17_Build) and add a spot on the map where you can go on outlands through it.Like LemonPunch had.I think we should do the same thing because they had the biggest playerbase for a reason.Second thing I don't like in these changes is adding everyone who escapes the city to rebel group(On Scoreboard).Everyone can just fucking metagame using scoreboard.If you add like cameras on the end of the tunnel, so when you enter the outlands cameras taka a picture of your face, so they just add you as wanted on CP's datapads.That seems much more logic.Third thing is probably more personal, but using HL2 beta factions like Conscripts is really bad.Well there is a reason.Conscripts in Hl2 beta are the same as rebels in Normal HL2.So having two faction whit the same RP point is stupid, but for some reason we placed Conscripts in HL2RP on combine side.They do the same thing as CPs(City conscripts).Why should we have the same factions on one place?On this server, conscripts are meant to be patrolling in the outlands, I think, but we have OGF for that, which should be patrolling the outlands if we're following HL2 storyline which is much better(To Me)than beta.It was cut for a reason!Some people were saying that OGFs are too OP(over powered), but that is the point of outlandRP, escaping, hiding from combines.It will stop people massively go to the outlands.
The server is not mine I just like this community and I saying my opinion.I just want to make a server a better place and get more players on server, so we get more experienced RPers.

Thing is: The reason OGF aren't stationed in the outlands is to add balance to RP and to allow for actual character development.
OGF are S2K machines, and if we were to allow them to patrol the outlands instead of Conscripts, they would bitch and moan in OOC when forced to engage in S2M.
If we bypass that by allowing them to S2K, then the refugees and rebels are going to bitch and moan because they can't develop their characters without being shot dead and PK'ed.
Even if we implement a system where PK only applies to events, people are still going to moan that they have to abide by NLR.

Point of Outlands RP is escaping and hiding from combine forces.Reason why OGFs are placed in outlands is because they have no chance of going rogue.They won't run away, but Conscripts doesn have any level of memory replacement, so that has no sense.I agree with what you said, but I never said that OGF units should be patrolling the outland, they should be patrolling only few areas like Conscript base and they should only sweep the entire map in a event.That seems balanced enough?

I agree with the reasoning Roach has presented.
Having a full-scale group of O.G.F operate within the Outlands on a 24/7 basis will do nothing but squash character. Constant, glorified base wars -- such as most HL2RP servers (and even arguably what BlueCore/Lunacy Networks became) will do nothing but turn the server into a competition for maintain scripts over development of one's character. What I intended to do with my time in the former community is develop as much as possible, and fight as little as possible. Why? Because it's so much more enticing and engaging when people have that degree of character to themselves, instead of being mindless and skilled murderers.
HOWEVER, on the contrary, there are reasons for O.G.F to regularly dispatch in <smaller> numbers to the Outlands on a regular basis. Such as higher-security patrols, inspections, and the general maintenance of higher-tier defense. Conscripts, though, should be the main force that protects the Outlands -- and they should be loyalty ensured. Rogue authorizations should be required to ensure players are not just getting guns and armor from Conscript whitelist and then going gun-ho rogue.
That's my two cents. Also, anyone have any clue why Castle deleted me?
