Ok, i'm certainly not the first who had this idea but i searched and i didn't find any thread/post speaking about this.
I thought about a command who can stop the time in game.
Of course it's mostly for Clan Matches or Interclans (private games).
I thought about something like this:
-The time can be stoped by vote (normal one, or with the admin/referee).
-The time auto-stop when the server is in "mastermode 2" (match) only, and when a player who wasn't a SPEC disconnected (lag or not).
I hope it is possible, thanks.

This is to only stop the game timer, not to actually pause the game?

A total pause should be the best way because if you can't move, you can't take the kevlar or recovering your health or watch your oponents positions.

Larry had a go at making a mod for this, but said he couldn't do it without changing the client.
Though I F1 this idea.
In competitive Left 4 Dead, we had a .cfg loaded onto individual servers called rotoblin which meant by simply getting both teams to type !fpause - the game would freeze completely, players, pickups, health etc.
Similar .cfg for Counter Strike 1.6 respectively.
- so yeah. Get onto this :D, it's REALLY needed.

Maybe a /resign command too? When each player of a team entered it, well it resigned... could sometimes save time ;D

At first, I thought this thread was about reseting individual sleeps since all we have is a command to reset all sleeps, interfering with others :/
Edit:This is kinda like gamespeed though I'm not sure how it would behave in a server.

Having "/paused 1" available in a match game has been proposed a few times in the ideas thread, but I agree that it would be useful enough to warrant its own discussion thread.

If the pause is like a simple /gamespeed 1 (or 0 but 1 is enough), you should can see around you and see oponents you didn't saw before.

Because /gamespeed [a low number] essentially "pauses" or at least slows down the entire engine, slowing powerups and everything -- Jason Wrote:the game would freeze completely, players, pickups, health etc.

So you want this to be like "paused" but also freeze the player camera?

Interesting idea, clan matches often get interupted when a player leaves uexpectedly if the clock stoped until they rejoined that would be cool, especially if points didnt count until all were present again.

Like starcraft players lagging out :>
Jason, why not have Larry make the mod and share the source? It might have a chance at getting implemented then.

But what if you freeze the game then the admin quits. Then your left with a fail server. lol.
I hope so much it wont get abused by noob server owners.
unless it would only be implemented if a certain mastermode was used.

The opponents of the one who disconnected may ghost around, teammates not.

"please F1 we need pause", "please F1 we need pause" in the hectic part of the match because he is losing and he needs drink milk ... i just like the pressure you cannot leave ... you are forced to be prepared and fully focused ... the server command line would need next switch for disabling because of noobs

How is that fair? Just freeze all player cams.

Just saying, I personally dislike this idea. I don't really see how it fits in an online shooter.

It's more for CM's and inters than anything.
I think it should be kept away unless the mastermode is "Match" or "Private," as in a pub situation... no explanation needed

Well it would be very useful, but it need polishing.
I think it needs to be implemented as a vote, because if not it can be abused. What if the reason of the disconnect was a power shortage or something? Then how could the match be continued?
But better this than to have the "possible" flag holder armoring himself during the pause or a dead opponent looking at player positions. Im tired of "listening" people getting pickups during disconnects.
Guys, as long as this is not implemented,
NO ******* PICKUPS DURING ******* DISCONNECT...
... sorry for caps lock.

Timer auto restarts and says EFF YOU to the disconnecting player. What like 3 minutes at most? A vote maybe, but a server switch I like the idea of and then a vote along with it to enable a watch over disconnecting players. Make sure it doesn't freeze a game when a spectator leaves!

This is because your post and Felix-The-Ghost Online 's one is wrong (:D), you don't play enough matches/inters to know what this vote could represent.
And you are one of the first to know that AC often have some bugs for no reason.
