Bring back es_ ?

[old.Gryffinder]

es_ maps rocked
The main problem imho was that there was only one decent map - es_trinity.
In case your new to HL, in es_ maps the terrorists were trying to escape, for example in es_trinity, a train had crashed, and you had to get to the escape points to evade capture, and a majority of the team had to make it.

The rub? The terrorists only had pistols, but they could pickup guns from CT's / the environment ( the uzi in the bedroom on trinity ).

I think the main reason for the failure of es_ maps is twofold
1. 13 year old kids want guns, lots of them, they dont want pistol fights, and they dont want to have to work with their team.
2. There was only one really worthy map.

I was thinking, if we had a few good es_ maps, maybe they would bring them back.

Thoughts/comments/flames?

es was imho shite
Concept was OK, but the fights to get a weapon and the blocking that happened during these fights made the whole thing ermm shite

es_trinity sucked, while es_frantic and es_jail rocked.

 

[~YuckFou~]

If i remember rightly frantic was the one in the subway? That was a decent map, although the weapons were in a tiny room with access through a window, blocked by a llama usually. Wasn't trinity the last es map they released?
anyway es is shite

 

[Cyph3r]

That was es_frantic m8!

woooo old skool (ish ),

es_jail was a peach: what'd i'd give for a server playing the old mod (beta5 or 6 would be nice).

Zoomed colt anyone?

Gaz

Is the code still in CS for es_ maps ?

Feel a request for an old skool map server coming on

It is.

I must say I look back on most es_ maps and remember them to be good fun. Which they were, it was nice how they swapped every few rounds (6 or 7 I cant remember...). Trouble was, youd get idiots who would swap back to CT after they were swapped to T, which kinda spoilt it... :/

 

[Moving Target]

I always preferred T, CT was boring.

 

[old.Gryffinder]

for me the fun on es_ maps was knowing the look on a players face when they see 8 terrorists running towards them, knowing they have a colt and trying to kill you all, but failing miserably.
It kindof reminds me of the russians in WW1, where they didnt have enuff guns, so they picked up the ones from dead comrades and carried on.

 

[old.Kurt_Angle]

Ohh the Es maps were soo great, think iv'e mentioned it before.

Jail-best cs map ever.

Frantic, well could it have been done any better, muchos make you feel like you actually 'were' in a subway.

I mean that, no other cs map quite like it for the atmosphere it created, a deadly combo of suspence, and the will to live

 

[Moving Target]

I always took the back door on frantic and let all my comrades die

Looking at the respone....I think we need one!

 

[Skyler]

Haha, get a map cycle changed by popular demand at BWorld ?

You're having a laugh... will never happen... I've been trying to sort the BW mapcycles out for 6months, nothings happened besides a half hearted change to "populars" which ended up having a load of shit maps in the cycle hence making them useless...

You think people would see the huge popularity of the dual duster almost 24/7 and then see the emptyness of the populars and normal map cycle servers for most of the day...

I have yet again sent a stunning server plan to Zappeh/Natrat but I am doubting wether Zappeh will add it, as he obviously likes having stupidly unneat and not so popular servers, when for no extra money and 30mins hassle he could have an excellent 12 server layout that would bring more people to BW, and more of the kind of people that would pay Subs, but sadly no, people obviously dont want BW to get a good reputation as far as CS goes.

We are looking more and more like UK2 everyday.... >:|

The problem being its stunning in your eyes not everyone elses, you would remove maps that are popular and played by other people. Militia and assault for instance. The popular maps server was not made to suit one persons views of a good cycle, but a wide majority. And no offense but the pop maps cycle wasn't your idea orginally, you simply kicked us into making a change which Purple suggested a few weeks before.
