Proposing new Payload maps!! Deadwood and Swiftwater

[The Freshmaker!]

Payload is probably my favorite game type. I recently played on another server and these two maps were alot of fun. We should definitely give them a shot! They are a nice change of pace and VERY well done. Deadwood is definitely my favorite. All classes are useful.

Deadwood:
FPSBANANA > Maps > TF2 > Payload > pl_deadwood

Swiftwater:
FPSBANANA > Maps > TF2 > Payload > pl_swiftwater

Maybe work them into the rotation where you play offense once, then defense, then onto goldrush / badwater regular maps that everyone likes.



Anyone who has played these and enjoys them please chime in

I'll check them out.

Swiftwater is appealing because it is only 9 megs....

We might just pop in into the rotation and see how it does for us.

Swiftwater looks cool. I can't believe that spy stayed alive so long.

[Reimill]

eh ive tried swiftwater, and personally to be honest i kinda didnt like it. my vote would be for gravelpit or steel. i think steel might be a nice addition :]

Lets give Deadwood a shot!!

The file is too big. Custom maps empty a server badly enough but one that large will guarantee to empty us out, unfortunately.

Where do I find frontier to check it out ?

Out of curiosity, how about adding the custom maps, and turning download off? Alternate hosting for maps?

[Sirex]

We do redirect when theres custom maps, we use a low footprint server for it, so it able to handle the requests.

The issues with customs is,
if the map is not defacto like a lot of the CBP maps or crossfile, nevermore, desertsands for ut2004 were
People leave cos they don't have the file and dont want it.

If its too big, people dont want it.

Best game i've seen for custom map sizes etc, has been ut2004

I think if it's primetime and you switch to a custom map the server will stay busy as the regulars will stay on. Putting it in the regular rotation would guarantee the server empties out many times a day though.

We need something other than Gold Rush, Badwater, the occasional Hoodoo, and Dustbowl. The same maps all the time are getting quite tiresome, at least for me.

The question is how many of you will be willing to commit to sitting in an empty server for hours trying to get it going ??

I will consider hosting a second server for custom maps, but we will need people willing to sit in there for hours at a time to get it started.

When our server was sitting empty 20+ of the 24 hours in a day many of you would ignore my Steam requests to join our empty server, yet I saw you playing in other TF2 servers that were busy.

For me, Goldrush 24/7 with 32 players is more fun than a custom map with 2 players.
