[split] Map discussion

[Hav0c]

+90% of players play public)?

Not necessarily, all i'm seeing these days are.
ac_riflecampers
Headshotcity 003
gemas
tosok

Oh and the other pubs which have official maps on, i get 400+ ping D:

[ExodusS]

No lol , i just wana say that public/match is different , match map are not had to have a good public gameplay.
So , officials maps shouldn't have to be good in publig and match in the same time.
ac_iceroad/ac_arabian are very good public maps but it's not match maps (in my point of view).

I don’t see the added value in adding more maps to the official package. There are so many decent custom maps out there. It is my opinion even if you included a load of them in the package it wouldn’t result in them being played any more than they are now. As flowtron has already shown it’s quite obvious the few maps which are popular at the moment.

I believe the power is in the hands of server owners what maps get played the most. However, server owners have different opinions about what would make a good maprot. And then their are the vote settings.....

I think most maps in the package are commonly played in the public arena, more so than in clan matches. I would have thought most clan matches are played as private games where choice of map isn’t an issue.

It would be really nice to see server owners show off their maprots and what custom maps and modes they have compiled.

[flowtron]

jiba: use your serverbrowser - when a server is selected, press F9 - then M. Tadaa - you see the maprot :-)

[jiba]

flowtron, I am aware of how to see a servers maprot online, my wish is to see server owners showcase their maprot here as a way of presenting ideas.

[CyberKlown28]

Can't hurt to add in all of those maps as officials :D

[ExodusS]

ac_desert ac_douze , it's more player by vote than by the maprot.
1 minutes remaining ac_desert T-OSOK , unarmed called a vote (T-OSOK ac_desert) 7-F1 1-F2...

I don't see why dust isn't an official map. It's one of my favorites from old-school AC, is there a way to get it into the official maps?

[Joe Smith]

there are several servers that have mixed custom and official in their maprot, and some have more custom than official.

the thing is people dont want to sit waiting in an empty server that has a nice custom maprot, for people to come. so they leave and the server never gets started.

the people who really want those servers to be populated, need to sacrifice and stay in that server to get it started.

Its not an official map because it is a rip off of a Counter Strike map. Guess it would be a copyright infringement :\

[Boomhauer]

Ya, I know it is.... I played CS before AC... Maybe thats why I like it so much. :)

[Duckett]

Can't hurt to add in all of those maps as officials :D

hell yea it can.

[jiba]

In MY point of view (i won't have enemys) :

First , official maps = match map.
It mean that : public/pub maps should be official.
For me : ...
-ac_arabian
-ac_rattrap
... are public maps.

All maps i writed are very good maps with good designs etc...but ac_arabian is huge and not really playable in match (maybe better in HTF or T-KTF) , i'm sure that i hadn't fun to play match on it (sorry Jiba).

Remove it from the official package then = result + everyone is happy - yeah

[Ronald_Reagan]

I haven't played ac_arabian in ages. With the snarfed mac version and all. (yes, I know I can fix it). I always thought it was a lovely map. However, I can see how it might not be good for a 1v1-3v3.

[titiPT]

ac_arabian is a very nice map

[V-Man]

Closely related, apollo_arabicnight is hecka fun.

[Duckett]

ac_arabian is awesome fun in ctf/htf dudes Expecially when there's 4-6 people on each team

[V-Man]

ac_arid TDM or CTF is complete ownage!

[Nightmare]

not a fan of scaffold/rattrap/snow/arid/douze

Wouldn't mind the official map package to jump to 30(or more) for the next release ;3

[Duckett]

ac_arid TDM or CTF is complete ownage!

Again The V is right

[Josiah]

I love(love love love) ac_derb so please include that :D

Anyways, what about ac_parkour?

[Ronald_Reagan]

Both aren't quite in the style of AC I'm afraid. ac_derb is more fitting than ac_parkour. However I do like some matches on them.

[Duckett]

I do too, but I'd think they both we're intended mostly for tosok

[Josiah]

Both aren't quite in the style of AC I'm afraid. ac_derb is more fitting than ac_parkour. However I do like some matches on them.

That's just what I liked about them. It's nice to have a variety imo

[VenteX]

I agree with Josiah. I think each official map should offer very different suggested gameplay styles so that they are more unique from each other. You know, like how ac_douze is arena-styled while ac_avenue allows for some good vertical gameplay.

No two maps should play the same way.

[Nightmare]

F1 @ swamp, zanka, avenue, both casa's...

ac_mojave2 - by Andrez

It's on the DES|Biohazard server. I found it today.

Edit: All of the maps on the DES|Biohazard server should be in the next ver.

[OpenSource]

ac_mojave and ac_mojave2 are on DES|Biohazard (/connect biohazard.des-clan.net)
So are the maps from Assault Cube mapping contest.

[Frogulis]

+1 from me for ac_mojave2, ac_swamp, ac_terros, ac_zanka and ac_venganza1.1
What's this 'stellar' map that has been mentioned? I have never seen/heard of it until I read this thread.

[Mikey]

consider this map?
:)



OH! Red zone by road runner, it's EPIC!
