AS FOR MAPS......, You did ask for opinions..... Options

[Monev_the_Gale]

Well, you did ask for our input FK about the maps, and this is mine just in my humble opinion. I know many may not agree with me, and I hope they will give their input as well.

First off tho, map pack 12 sucks. Sorry, I know you put work in it, but with the exception of Tractorworks, it sux. Too bad Tractor had lag issues. Seems a lot of great maps get shit-canned for faulty issues, and that really is too bad. Now for the lists.........

GREAT MAPS: Abbey, Angry Fields, Bunker, Carentan, Crossroads, Island Assault, Market Garden, Doomed, Ft. Wreck, Frag n' Rock, Ardennes, Verschneit, Tractorworks, Destroyed Village, Omaha Beach, Algiers, Druckkamern, Malta, Flughafen, Gewitter, Thunder II, Winterschlaf, Tunisian, Renan, and Berlin.

SO-SO MAPS: Osiedle, Arnhem, Berlin v. 1, Southern France, Bahnhof, Remagen, Snowy Park, Stalingrad, Holland, Stadt, and OpCenter.

SUCK-ASS MAPS: Geffangenenlager, Bloody Snow, Courtyard, Secret Weapons Facility, Bazaar, Riverside, Rush Party, Tirtagen, Storage Facility, Titleist, and Walk inthe Park.

Sorry if I've offended anyone, but input was asked for, and I hope others put their input in as well. To keep the server strong, it's always appealed to me that the maps never get kept too long in rotation to keep them fresh. That way peeps don't get burned out on them too much. Plus, new maps are always the big attraction which keep me coming back as well as the gameplay.

I know some of the above maps aren't TDM, just not sure which totally. Plus, I know there are other issues which keep maps out of play. Someone on here, and it was Chaplin I believe, posted a link to some maps that looked really kewl, especially one called Canal. Maybe that might bear some looking into.

Again, this is just my 2-cents which adds up to diddly-squat, and I do appreciate all the work it takes to bring us these maps.

I have to agree with FatherMurphy on Crossroads and Algiers, original is better.
If you eliminated the boulders in the river in Crossroads and some of the barbed-wire in Algiers that would be acceptable. Spawn points change too quickly and that is a pain in the ass on both maps. I spawned in a group of Allies the other day and didn't stand a chance. However, it does eliminate a lot of camping.

Berlin is just too laggy on any server. Tirtagen is too cramped. Walk in the Park is too green and the textures aren't too good for some graphics cards. I like Malta and size is strong point with all MOB maps.

FK, you might want to make a map pack with just big maps for those players who like the wide, open spaces.

I like Map Pack 13, good choice of rotation. Bloody Snow is a little over the top with too many barriers around the props. Have to sterp out to shoot around some of the boulders and sandbags. Have this same problem in Angry Fields with the haystacks.

I LOVE SNOWY PARK!!!!!!!! Damn the snipers. This is a great head to head map and one that has no advantage for either side and it runs great on any machine. This is a thinking man's map because there are so many ways to play it.
