Map changes part deux

by **aphid** » Mon Jan 12, 2004 1:06 am

It looks like it is time to move forward with this if Boc or Casus agree this can be done. By looking at the votes it appears most people who are regulars on the forums here have voted. In order by highest vote:

1. Tram
2. Depot
3. Assault
4. Ice.

Now I don't think we should put Depot on this server because there is already Happy Penguin. Just doesn't make much sense. I'd like to see three of those maps on rotation. Just my opinion though. Perhaps it can be four games of Beach then two games of each of those maps. Two games for each map with alternating sides.

Opinions? If we can all agree (mostly), I am optimistic it will be implemented for a trial run.

Tram is a huge map would lag be an issue?
All these choices would be fun otherwise

Is it possible to change the number of heavy weapons for different maps? All I can say is 2 panzers on tram is suicide for allies.

I still say rocket kicks ass!!! I mean its a complex map, lots of hidden places and tunnels. Would be interesting and seeming I have it mastered already I can humble a few people :p

Let's try not worry about things like this right now. First thing is to actually get the maps into the rotation. Then after the maps are put into play, we can see if they are receptive to other changes. Think of it as baby steps.

I've talked to MmmGood (although not recently) about what maps play well on ECGN. Any map with a huge amount of sky does not play well (Assault, Tram) I've played on 32 player Tram maps that lagged enough to make it tough to play. I'd imagine 64 players would make it unplayable.

Village is a tough map to play because FF is off, and there are literally a hundred places some asswipe can park his sorry ass to block everyone. Great map, but tough to police.

Same goes for Sub.

That being said, I'd like to see some changes.

i was there when MMMMgood put airstrip 2 and funbeach on the server, it ran fine, the only problem was the beach babies were to scared to play another map ..........

I have to agee with LadyDeathstrike here. I couldn't remember the name of the map at first but it had to have been airstrip 2. It had a huge wide open sky and there was an elevator shaft. There was also a hanger with some bomb in it. Then you had to grab the docs from near the bomb and return them. The map, to my recollection, played fine.

Even if they do lag to hell, these aren't exactly permanent changes. It's just to test things out. If it does not work out with those maps, we can try other ones.

I repeat.....Marketgarden?

Other than that. Ice, sounds good. Tram is good if it doesn't lag.

RX ECGN is the best any where any game any map.

On all the ECGN servers I never ever lag, ever! Ive played tram before on ECGN with 56k and I didnt lag then either. Of course I have dsl now, so people who lag on beach will lag anywhere RX and they know that so whats the difference if they lag on beach or tram

.

Also for those who feel Tram will lag, get a better connection cause ive never lagged there, even with 60 players there

I always thought both beach maps ( fun beach and standard beach) had the biggest sky boxes, the only one that lagged a bit was fun beach but it was before when I owned a Geforce 2 MX

Depot im highly against because HP runs it, you won't attract more people by adding that trust me.

I don't think we should end the poll, i would wait till an Ok for MMmmGood comes that we will have a rotation, because many people haven't voted. If they see its going to be done, they will vote. Assault would be uber laggy, and i dont think it be that much fun with so many people...it would get old very quickly.

1 Custom map would be very nice, but im going to have to say no marketgarden. Theres a 39man server hosted by =TSG= that runs marketgarden, and many other clan servers run it. I have a bunch of tested maps that youd like and would work very well.

NK..theres no way you can tell me you didn;t lag on tram with 56k...its impossible

This is not the thread to suggest other maps. That was what that other thread was for and it was up for over a week. More than enough time for everyone to voice their opinion. If you are a regular on this server and visit the forums regularly (in my opinion, the only voice that matters the most), chances are you saw and voted on that other thread.

If we continue to sit here and go back and forth about what maps should be put in etc, nothing will ever get done because not everyone will agree. That is also why I said admins should be given the decision on what map to put on but...The votes were put in on that other thread and they showed that the majority of regulars want those four maps. Those are the ones that should be discussed and implemented for now.

change is good

by **MichoRizo** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 4:26 am

Affirmative!

by **MMmmGood** » Tue Jan 13, 2004 10:52 am

Assault wont run that well....

I like the idea of Ice, Tram, and Depot though.

Settle down on a rotation and i'll do it.
