Barry's CS map choices

[old.[Father]Ted#]

Not sure if this is a good topic or not but, does anyone else think that there are too many maps on the Barrysworld servers.

OK, I know there are servers dedicated to defuse or hostage and the now obligatory "Dual Duster", but do we really need maps like 747, Oilrig, Highrise, Cobble et al that as soon as the server cycles round to them everyone leaves. This happens alot on Vegas and other maps. Maybe a couple of "Classic Map" servers featuring all the stalwarts, Dust, Nuke, Italy, Prodigy, Backalley, you can see where I'm going.

I know I sometimes wont go on a server if I know that in 2 maps time I'm going to hit Oilrig. I think its time for some hard choices at Barry Towers, time for some spring cleaning, wheat from the chaff etc.

afaik barrysworld has always left the mapcycle as the default one that comes with the latest counterstrike patch. Deathace started a thread earlier asking people what custom maps etc they would like on a server but got little response to it.

Cobble and 747 rules anyway the vip maps are the bad ones. (I dont think highrise is in the 1.1 mapcycle btw)

People dont leave vegas cos they dont like it mate, its because they've got the counterstrike patch which didn't have the correct vegas version, and havn't got the fixed patch yet. So all the people without applying up_vegas.zip and installed the old cs 1.0 -> 1.1 upgrade patch wont be able to connect

Thing is if you remove some maps other people who do like them complain, some people really enjoy oilrig and tundra etc.

I like the fact Bw servers have all the maps, it gives everyone a chance to enjoy them, there are a lot of maps i h8, but removing them from the server list is wrong. THere are lots of servers out there with edited map lists no one forces you to use BW servers.

I wasn't aware of the vegas patch thang, but my point was that in most of the other betas/versions maps have come and gone and its been kept to a reasonable number. Still I suppose its horses for courses, different strokes for different folks etc.

I bet the people who love Oilrig always go T though, its a good map to keep your ratio going. As for 747 I like it but its a bit rubbish 4 v 4, which is what tends to happen.

I'll always play on Barrys cause I get the best pings and some of the best players I've seen, Car1ing, Jobbie (ex [SA]), Shadow (ex [AS]), MMX clan to name but four. I was just hoping that somebody might agree that there was a few too many maps and as serious CS'ers we might wish too get the list down to the maps that create the greatest challenges for both teams, not just for the big boys to keep their rankings good.

Trouble is if you just play the same maps over and over it can get very repetetive.
If you never play maps that you dont know then , youll never get to like/dislike any different ones.

If you hate the map coming up next too much then all you have to do is vote to get enough people to vote to change it.

 

[old.[Father]Ted#]

How many times have you seen a map change by vote, I've been playing CS for over a year now and its happenned maybe 6 or 7 times. Besides how can anyone get bored if there were 15 maps, at the usual 30min map time thats 7.5 hours!!!

Keep default mapcycles. There are always other servers playing a map you like, and that way you can look at what map a server has on and say 'ooh, it'll be militia next, I'll go on that server'.

Unlike Jolt servers, which seem to be run by a bunch of fucking clowns who impose their shite feckin' choices on us instead of letting us choose.

'omg I am only good at dust, assault and siege, so I will get rid of all other maps, especially those which hurt my tiny brain with their complexity'
