My heart sinks when a map changes and I hear shogun.wav. Am I alone? Mog bit the dust yet this PITA remains. Please make it stop!  :frusty:
(Looks around page to find a votey type thing and can't find one  :( )

The admins take note when people 'vote with their feet'. If we see people leave when a certain map comes up then we have to do something.

We've pulled mog and bitterwine from the rotation and will pull others if needed.

Have your say people ...  :)

My understanding is that the full version is just cosmetically changed so how would that aid gameplay?

It is? I thought they had changed some stuff. If so ... yank it and while you are at it remove thunder. Add nuke and vegas.

You have to have 10 CTs against 6 Ts to make it "even" and only 25% of the map is actually used. Another problem is that people drop due to different versions of the map and they can't make it work.

Think there are better hostage maps than that one.

I will agree that the majority of the map is not used, this is due to PCS boundaries rather than the map being poor. The fact that so little of the map is used though shouldn’t really be an issue as the game play centres around the hostages. As to the teams having to be balanced to allow good play I think actually adds to some maps, and enhances the realism of the situation, (“we have a situation where 6 terrorists have taken hostages, send in 6 of our special forces”) personally I would send in more CT’s to rescue the hossies.
While this may not be the best hostage map it does play differently to a lot of other maps, otherwise we would be playing the same strategy on aesthetically different maps rather than tactically different maps.

Maybe we need an early new map vote type thing ?

To add MORE realism, why don't we, as CTs, just hang around outside and negotiate? That way there would be no unnecessary loss of life. :rolleyes:

i thought thats what "rush" meant  :flirty:

Erm, I rather like both shogun AND cs_thunder, leave em there!!!!

Post by: smite on September 05, 2003, 07:57:00 PM
I leave whenever shogun comes on ...IT is the new Aztec of my hatred (which i now like again  :blink: )

And Thunder is a good map, as stryker said it is down to wether you have a good team that work well together....as with most maps this one is excellent if you have 2 evenly matched teams.

Yes it is some distance to run but there are flaws with all maps.

CT / T doesnt matter i enjoy being on both.

I agree with what Smite said about agreeing with what Twig said about agreeing with what Stryker said. I like Thunder, it's one of those maps that can be really good if the players play as a team, but Shogun is a bit pants, was fun at first but now it's not. :(

Personally I like shogun. I agree with what has been previously said about Thunder though, unless you are organised it becomes a frag fest for the Ts.

Post by: TeaLeaf on September 06, 2003, 03:26:06 PM
I like Shogun too, but I think the Ts often do not use the space available to them wisely.  If you sit in the house all night it gets a bit boring.

I hate playing shogun when there are hardly any people so we try to change the map but if there are no admins on at the time you have to play it and big maps are a real bore to play with little teams. Is there any way to change the maps in the rare offchance of no admin?  :eyebrow:

Post by: TeaLeaf on September 13, 2003, 06:37:22 AM
With the change over to 1.6 you'll be lucky if the admins themsleves can change anything.  Hold that thought and ask it again in a month.
