Sorry but if they're the maps we'll be using them i shall be withdrawing, frankly i've been bored of cs ever since i played SWG and was only looking to turn up on the day and play, not have to download and install new maps and spent the next 3 days learning them.  I've just got better stuff to be doing.

Team WaM will be -1 from now on.  Please will someone step up and take control asap.


 :(

See, Christmas spirit, what a load of b****ocks! For god's sake JB it's a f***king game!

Got them all from there. Thanks!!! Title: Tournament Maps Post by: JB on December 26, 2003, 11:40:44 AM Sorry but i have NEVER played Museum or Trust, be it here or anywhere else.  Museum was a regular on N42 but afaik was never played this side of the river. I'll take a look at them both today and let you know. Title: Tournament Maps Post by: DarkAngel on December 26, 2003, 12:15:00 PM Come on jb dont back out just because you are so afraid of loosing. Btw the museum map isnt in my map archive but it might be a basic map so you dont need it.... Title: Tournament Maps Post by: JB on December 26, 2003, 01:07:40 PM I explained my reasons before. Quote 'I just don't enjoy playing cs anymore' And the last thing i wanted to do was to be forced to play more just to learn these stupid new maps.  Which to be perfectly frank is the last thing i want to be doing over christmas.  A turn up and play tournament yes, otherwise i'll be thinking twice. I've seen Trust and initially i thought why not just play dust ffs. Title: Tournament Maps Post by: Gone_Away on December 26, 2003, 02:03:51 PM Didn't Santa bring you what you wanted this year JB??

I'll take a look at them both today and let you know. Admittedly de_trust has never been played here, but it *is* dust so nobody needs to learn anything bar the one extra corridor (which is soooo easy my cat could do it).  Both museum and winternuke have also been played here before.  Combined with your singularly orienteering-like knowledge of de_dust then I'm sure you'll do well.  As you say, just turn up and play.

Just a suggestion DA, but why not load up CS and create a new game using de_museum?  You can also go to Baldric which should by now be running all three tourney maps. I will be doing a bit of TCS tonight on Baldric :D TL.

I said i've never played Museum and i've done exactly that, NEVER played it.  I'll play Sunday but screw it if i'm spending the next 48 hours playing Museum. If im perfectly honest i think your choice of maps is poor.  I long to see a map created today where the creator doesn't feel the need to populate every square metre with 3 boxes, a container or half a dozen items that need jumping over just to get past.  Dust and Aztec are the most widely played maps purely because they're simple maps, easy to learn and combine both open spaces and tight situations perfectly.  Maps like Museum and Trust are poor because of their cramped over populated areas and the constant battle to move from 1 room to the next slowing down the flow of the game.  Give me 48 hours of a good map over 30 seconds of Museum anyday. JB out (in actually, but not arsed) Title: Tournament Maps Post by: 0ni0n on December 26, 2003, 05:54:04 PM HOHOHO anyone know where i can get de_museum from? cant find it!  :( I have to admit i do agree with JB to a certain extent and i too will not have played any of these maps and will not have time to praccy on them!! I will come along obviously but prob wont do very well,but its the taking part that counts! :D mmmm i never do very well anyway so what the heck!!  ;) Title: Tournament Maps Post by: JonnyAppleSeed on December 26, 2003, 05:54:59 PM not to worry Jb i dont know it either......but it should still be fun ...i think it will still be great to see how people work together ...and even better if they dont know the map :D Title: Tournament Maps Post by: Dr Sadako on December 26, 2003, 06:02:53 PM QuoteOriginally posted by 0ni0n@Dec 26 2003, 06:54 PM HOHOHO anyone know where i can get de_museum from? cant find it!  :( I have to admit i do agree with JB to a certain extent and i too will not have played any of these maps and will not have time to praccy on them!!

Title: Tournament Maps Post by: TeaLeaf on December 26, 2003, 07:12:42 PM You could always connect to Baldric and download the maps from the server as the come up in the rotation.   I chose de_trust because it is *not* de_dust, but still totally simple and will enable quick matchplay with slightly more than the usual dust mincer engagement.  de_winternuke also delivers fast action but this time with the possibility for a little more thought in your attacks.  de_museum is a map we do not usually play, but it is a simple map with lots of ways of attacking - the dilemma for teams on this map will be that they will find it quite easy to slowly advance and plant the bomb due to the choice of routes and sniping potential, but they will lose time if they do it at this pace.  So will you rush the sites and have more difficulty planting and defending the bomb, or take more time but secure the points?  All of these maps will handle the 5 man teams we will be fielding without the maps feeling too big. I'm sorry if you don't rate the choice of maps, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.  The proof of the pudding will be if the tourney goes well and people enjoy themselves  - that will be good enough for me.   TL. Title: Tournament Maps Post by: 0ni0n on December 26, 2003, 07:30:42 PM i went on 1 of the servers earlier when it was on! the server just says "could not connect you need de_museum.bsp" :( Title: Tournament Maps Post by: Doorman on December 26, 2003, 07:37:17 PM QuoteOriginally posted by Sadako+Dec 26 2003, 06:02 PM--> QUOTE (Sadako @ Dec 26 2003, 06:02 PM) Title: Tournament Maps Post by: TeaLeaf on December 26, 2003, 07:44:51 PM The version that I have uploaded to the separate thread in this section (it is uploading while I type this).  Sorry for the confusion.
