potential new maps

[iSeize]

found these on FPS banana. tried 9 or 10 others but these three are TD quality.
take note: all dust2 remakes are AIDS.

feels like pira or italy. lots of long corridors, bomb sites have a great layout, and are good distances from eachother. close quarters, snipers may have a hard time.

feels like prodigy or tides, plays like inferno. some interesting backroutes to sneak into bomb sites, lots of open areas in mid. snipers could do well on this map



gave these ones a playthrough to see their layout. not sure how many spawn points they have. might need to correct that.

Fedra looks a little too meh.

We should see what other popular servers are playing, and check to see if there's anything that fits our cocks well.

 

[OG buckshot jr]

mad dog told me about a map that's "popular" on wtf.. since they copied their entire server: rules, maps, forum, etc. from us, I can take a map or two from them.

I'll get the name of it tomorrow after work.

bump

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

We need to move some maps off rotation, and put others on the list in. It's getting too repetitive.

 

[.44 caliber]

I agree strongly

 

[Taylor Sith]

amen to that....we need de_scud back... lol

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Alright, heres the plan. Tomorrow, ill finish fire and egon, and get a hold of skd. In the meantime, lets figure out our current rotation and finalize. Once finalized, ill connect with skd n we'll update the list and rotation.

Im just trying to prevent him from going through the hastle (yes, its not too simple) for one map...

So lets do work!

Italy_tactics needs to come back

Love the map, but from what I remember we tried it once. Server usually started to die once the wild team stackers appeared.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Yeah, a map like Italy and its variants won't play nice on TD while the admins can't swap players.

 

[wh1te]

Maybe admins should be granted that power, just saying lol. Also, beroth, 3rd street, that one TD made map, and a few other de-populate the server (dunno about recent activity tho).

BJ works on maps as if he were unionized hahaha

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Its not a problem being "granted", there is no known, working linux plugin for teamswap, thats why we dont have it... there is some work being one on it, just give em some time or it...

 

[DarkSiege]

I downloaded de_sidewalk awhile back it's like a modern city kismayo. Looks like some work has been done to improve it's performance. http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/11236

moar new maps

 

[marinerevenge]

good reviews on that sidewalk map. must get in rotation!

 

[iSeize]

I played Sidewalk. its so open and wide, its crazy. if the map was compacted into like 2/3rds the size it would be nice, but this is overkill. Its Huge, but still so simple.


I found 3 new maps,tried 10 or 12 others but these seem to be best. They look really good by layout, but i cant vouch for the balance of them quite yet.

First up is de_rush

http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/19321

good looking map with interesting layout. A member recommended it before but it was never implemented. I had great FPS on it, no reason anyone else shouldn't.

2nd is Corse
http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/18280
This map is really really pretty and has awesome layout, a huge emphasis actually takes place on rooftops where snipers can be useful

3rd is Sultan
http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/154054
This map also has a really cool layout but the mapper seems to have left it bare. its got next to no props and the textures are just recycled all over the place.
if you don't care about aesthetics then this map will be fun. the bombsites are a market and a bridge. its different. mostly mid-long range combat.



Also, let it be known that Italy and all other variants are awful maps.

 

[47]

corse looks cool. rush is ok, we had it before. ADD MOAR MAPS !!!!

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Just for comparison, this is what WTF plays:
WTF - Black, TD - White

I've highlighted the differences in the map cycle. WTF only plays those 25 maps since last reset; we play 38, but only up tp 25 had over 1000 kills.

 

[iSeize]

should we substitute Mills for mill? i usually hear complaining that its not the original map (or something similar) when new people come into the server.
