I want to say first I love the roles and Cannal.

In a map like Cannal or Breach, it's hard to keep his role because when you die, if you don't grab the role item, he go back spawn. This is annoying when you are close to the end because you loose a role. I have 2 suggestions to fix this :
-Change the respawn time to 60 seconds.
-Only loose the role item when you definitly die or if you drop it per yourself.
Of course, we can combine both.

About Cannal now. We have at the middle respawn point a crossbow and at the last one 2 rocket launchers.
The biggest problem is they don't respawn (or respawn too late, the entire team leave).
The consequencies is if a guy with a RPG/crossbow die, a RPG/crossbow is lost. This will be very hard when you fight a helicopter.
Suggestion : transform the crossbow and the RPG as role items. If a player die, the others can take his weapon.

Something completely different : the RPG have 4 rocket, it's normal?

We had implemented a way for the Role items to move up through the map as you progressed, so instead of returning to the initial spawn, they'd spawn in the tunnels between sections 1 and 2, or sections 2 and 3. We couldn't iron out all the bugs before release, so it might not work properly or at all. We'll hopefully be able to fix it by the next update.

We already have planned to turn them into a Role, just not sure how soon.

I believe so.

[Auxor]

The RPGs have 3 in Half Life 2 normally.. I think.

[AndY]

They might have increased it in HL2DM.

[Colaman]

could you change the starting ammo from 3 to 4? Some newbies could take 2 rpgs and this would be a waste of ammo and weapons on ow_canals.

[warbrand2]

No in hl2dm the rpg ammo max is 3 unless you are on a customized server. but 4 is better game play wise.

[AndY]

Then I'm not sure why it was changed to 4 in the SDK files.. We'll change the starting ammo to 4.
