Are you ready for something fresh?

[Aessassen]

So just putting my two cents in after playing all weekend..


We need more maps in the rotation.. Not that the two that are there aren't fun.. but playing 8 rounds of goldmine and then 8 rounds of badwater and the whole rotations starts over again is getting... a little boring

Not saying they are bad maps, or theres not super-intense games going on, but been play at CL for about a week now and been playing the same two maps for the better part of that can kind of get.. routine.


But besides the whole map issues, there were some pretty intense games this weekend

Thanks for the feedback.....

Dustbowl may make an appearance soon ....

I personally love Dustbowl. Its my fave capture map and I prefer it over Gravel Pit. Never liked the 3 cap thing in Gravel Pit.

Noticed Dustbowl was in the mix this weekend when I queried the server. Nice first step, but Dustbowl suffers from the exact same problem as the PL maps: it's heaven for Demoman.

I've been trying to improve on Scout lately, and it's not really productive to play scout on a choke point style map like goldrush, badwater, and dustbowl. I'm bored of Demoman, as he is just a bit too easy to really rip it up with, especially on the aforementioned maps.

The maps I mention in this thread are "balanced," in that they allow a player to be productive as any class. For now, Cainslair isn't meeting my TF2 needs and I'll be playing elsewhere, but I'll keep checking the server out every now and then in case you add more maps.

Thanks for the feedback, take care ....

The map rotation now is awesome.

Dustbowl is a classic that fills up quickly. Badwater and goldrush are also very nice.

CP_Steel is a really nice CP map (better than any stock one) and usually can get a really good amount of people.

I think we should throw pipeline into the mix. It would take some serious teamwork with instant spawns but it would be fun nonetheless. It's close quarters enough to keep the action centralized.

Just tossing my ideas out there.

Pipeline is a great map

By the way, Ogah, the server is not instant spawn

It would probalby be difficult for you to notice as you don't die often enough

Pipeline people love or hate, thus it not being too ultra-popular.

Its intense, very intense - two push-karts that go in directions like this

---BLU--->
<---RED---

They pass each other, making it pretty much non-stop action.


Edit: Agree with Ogah - CP_Steel is a riot - and the occassional turbine is pretty fun too, but gets boring with repetitive games.


Cain - You might want to look into some kind of addon that allows the players to vote on the next map, thus not always having a static rotation, keeping things fresh, and allowing players to play what they want - then you could add less-popular maps like pipeline/turbine/etc.

Ontop of map-selection addons, votekick,rtv and scramble mods may be other things you want to look into as they are quite nice to have on servers. As well as post-round all-talk (all-round all-talk ruins games IMO) but post-round is pretty cool.

just my .2cents!

Wow! Now that sounds like it might be fun!

Whoah that sounds like a "Cain's Lair" type map !!
