Map Enjoyment - Page 2

**Sirusblk** · 12-24-2007, 04:28 AM

I also love stronghold. I pulled heavily for the map originally and love the latest incarnation of it. It favors snipers pretty well as well as many other not-used-so-much classes. Not only did it offer great gameplay in my opinion but the look of the map was just gorgeous.

Granary I hate, that's the straight forward map with both sides equal and the middle CP being a scout and pyro rush right? Boring map in my opinion. One that I play too often and don't see much in the way of tactical offerings. By which I mean you can go one way or the other, snipers are all but useless save the middle CP, which still has limited offerings.

Please bring back Stronghold!

The problem with Stronghold is that if there are few or no SMs on, it almost always kills the server or at least knocks the player count down. Now, just keeping the server full of pubs is not my intent, but it does make it easier for me to get SMs on the server if there's already a group of players there, so it's kind of a double edged sword.

I've got the latest version of BAT and coming soon (I hope), I'm going to setup custom maps votes, rather than pushing some custom maps into the rotation.

Essentially, we'd only run X maps, but SMs would have the option to vote for other maps not in the rotation, like Stronghold. I'm hoping to have this and a few other perks for the SMs at TG setup a little after the new year.

Keeping it in for vote is an awesome idea and I look forward to it
