ding 2 Report post Posted September 5, 2010 I think the majority of the community have not heard of ashville lest played it yet. Its not even implemented on the American side yet. (not sure whether esea will implement it this season actually) so i think it would be a little dangerous to include such a map now? Same with coldfront. Some maps we played before, i think follower should be scrapped (personal opinion) i think the map sorta sucks, not fun to play, huge open spaces everywhere. Despite the initial "hype" I had over obscure, now I don't think its a extremely good map. Its mid point sorta sucks. Not sure now since i heard there have been updates.not to mention coldfront and ashville aren't even in the servers. WHERE IS PRO DUSTBOWL LOL. And How did cp_gorge fare this season?

ch3rry 7 Report post Posted September 5, 2010 I'd say keep around eight maps (+ gravelpit for finals). cp_granary cp_badlands cp_gullywash_imp3 cp_prolane_?? cp_obscure_final cp_freight_final1 cp_coldfront koth_viaduct More than eight maps is just fucking retarded. Less than six is the same. I'd say every season introduce one new map, and kick out one old one. In the above map pool, i've provided space for cp_coldfront (new) and removed cp_pro_dustbowl. cp_gorge is just gay and imo no one enjoyed it last season cause no one had a fucking clue on how to play it. Coldfront remains a mirror map and there isnt much room for strat changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haruhi 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 so to get this discussion on track, everyone is pretty much with maps like badlands, granary.etc. The major concerns are 1) including old maps like pro dustbowl or coldfront. 2) including new maps like mainline and ashville. 3) including ctf maps like turbine and well. Personally I think that the old maps should be included in the map pool, afterall we are doing 5 in pool, 2 elimination. We need a lot more maps to sustain variety in choices and if the teams don't like it, they can simply eliminate it. Change is the only constant in life and I don't think we should keep the maps out simply because no one knows how to play it. In that case, why not have an afl3 all over again instead of an afl4. Having more choices allows lower tier teams to be able to find and hold trump cards to their favor and allow for more dynamic play. Afterall isn't everyone complaining about bl,gran in pugs all the time? New maps are definitely welcomed in the map pool if they are sufficiently balanced and tried to an extent and for a start, we can include them in the regular pug server map pool to tropicalize them from NA or EU. Once more people play it, they will be able to appreciate it and enjoy it. Lastly, ctf maps are, like what he said, about high time they get included. Turbine is a very good map and there are many different strategies involved which teams should get to know and practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traveller 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 remove pro_dustbowl and cp_gorge. Should put in coldfront, it's an official map now isn't it. Comes with tf2 already and it's cool :< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haruhi 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 If you exclude that many maps, I am afraid you will have a pretty dull map pool for the season. I see a bit of self preference there and it's fine but I do think that we should put the really debatable maps on poll for fairness sake. On a side note, mainline is actually quite a nice map and the Americans play it often, should be worth a try for us too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ch3rry 7 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Ok well after some research/looking around I came up with a pretty good map pool. Its a total of eight maps. cp_badlands cp_granary cp_mainline_?? cp_obscure_final cp_gullywash_imp3 koth_viaduct cp_fastlane cp_freight_final1 cp_gravelpit, as decider for playoffs. Basically what i've done is that i've put in 4 new/custom maps which aren't played too often and 4 old maps which we play daily. So the idea for selecting maps will be viz. Week 1: Team A vs Team B Team A picks cp_badlands Team A picks cp_granary Week 2: Team A vs Team C: Team A has to pick a map OTHER than cp_badlands Team B vs Team D: Team B has to a map OTHER than cp_granary. Mainly done to avoid retards from granlanding every fucking time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
