One server menu to rule them all?

Maybe if there was a "all Chaos gametypes" tab in the server browser, more people would be on since all of the Chaos servers would be visible together. As it currently is, I have to go through every single gametype to find a damn server

Not a bad idea at all. Infact i think its a great one

It would help unify the fanbase. A lot of other mods out there like Red Orchestra, Air Buccaneers, Frag-Ops and UTXMP (though not so much because it already had a fanbase from the Unreal 2 crowd) get larger fanbases because of the fact that they only have one gametype. The Frag-Ops community recently schizmed due to the recent addition of the War gametype which split the community into newbies playing War and veterans playing Mission, and now you only see 2 full servers on a good day, whereas you used to see like 8 of them

Hmm we could try this and see how it goes however there was something that I hit as a road block a long time ago when i tired it. Hmm can not remember...must be too much eggnog. Can look into this some more.

This Copncept is officially endorsed by pepito, although ,execution could prove tricky.

Another problem is the amount of servers running on normal DM or CTF, instead of the much cooler Chaos versions, so you have to search through all of the vanilla gametypes, too.

Instead of an "all Chaos Gametypes" tab, a "All servers running Chaos" tab would be better.

Agreed, it would be nice.

Yeah, I forgot about Chaos servers running normie gametypes. That tab would be better, 'specially for Chaos Jailbreak (which I DESPARATELY need more of

). I think what turns a lot of people off of Chaos is the fact that they can't see all of the servers at the same time.

i think its more like the fact that they dont see any servers upon opening the browser

Well, that's kind of a given, seeing as how if you don't see all of the servers at the same time you probably won't see any at all.
