I was just reading over some threads like the Mod one, and an idea popped into by crazy, fucked up head. Well here it is. I think the maps in the surf rotation should be what some call "battle surf maps". You might be asking yourself: "Why, bleek, what are you talking about, sir?". Battle surf maps are maps, made for killing. They are fast paced maps (ex. surf_f7l5c), and they provide for the pure enjoyment of the original concept of the game which is, killing the other team. My reasoning behind this: Alot of times I look over at the sevrer, and it's empty. I proceed to look over at the map, and it is some skill map, or a BIG easy map, that takes a while to finish. Don't get me wrong I love maps likle these (the challanging ones like surf_aaa), but I think the server would do alot better if the rotation purely had fast paced maps. This would allow people that die, to start playing faster, instead of waiting 4-5 minutes for everyone to eventually fall to their death. I am not saying we should totally get rid of the skill maps either. We can keep them, and play them from time to time, when the server is full, or has alot of people, and they agree to try it out. But I think the regular rotation should just contain these 'battle maps". Some examples of fast paced surf maps include : surf_japan any version, surf_raceway, surf_f7l5c, surf_storm, surf_bigramp, surf_scoutzknivez, surf_skyworld( not so sure about this one, but it's pretty fast paced, if the people dont suck). There are probably plenty more maps like this. That is just my idea. Open for discussion. |

bleek, thats a pretty good idea. i have to agree with u about the battlemaps attracting more ppl. Japan, when i saw it yesterday, filled up the server. Its quick and fun. First time ive seen it fill up the server. Scoutzknives does the same. I say we should just simply alternate. Half battlemaps and half skill maps. AFter all, it is a surf server. There should be a lot of surfing involved. So i say we half it. Half battlemaps, half skill maps. | ||

I would say alot more people like "battle" maps more than skill maps. So it would benefit if the rotation was just maps like japan and so on and put up admin votes for other maps.. It is better to cater to the majority (in my oppinion) or you could go for the fence and have maps like legends were you do need atleast abit of skill to reach the very end.. but not alot of people like that for some reason. Something worth thinking over in depth and research as many maps as possible... |

yeah, battle maps (to me) are more fun, people dont like waiting 5 mins for a round to end, also, not many players have very good skills at surfing in the first place, so if we did skill maps all the time, they wouldn't get much fun because they get owned in 30secs to live for each round. | ||

Some of you are missing the point. Skill maps tend to slow down the gameplay pace, which might cause the loss of people. Doing it half and half would mean we would be empty half the time. We need ONLY battle maps in the rotation, and have skill maps on the back up, in case the greater majority wants to try one. Someone (scope?) mentioned Legends. That map is easy, but huge, and has very little action. I am not just saying get rid of hard maps, but gigantic maps that make people wait 5 minutes to respawn. | ||
