BW League Map Selections

[old.Hive]

For all those clan members who's leaders dont read their mail

1) Beggars Run
2) Damnation
3) Death Birds Fly
4) Desiccator uke:
5) Katabatic
6) Reversion
7) Riverdance
8) Sanctuary
9) Slapdash
10) Quagmire


This is overall a good selection of maps, all the favs are there. I would like to ask those signed up for the league, would you prefere Archipelago over Dessicator?

Archipelago is an open map which allows for many different tactics, whereas Dessicator is merely a battle for the gens. Plus the fog sucks.

Opinions?

 

[old.Sogokhan]

I would prefer Achipelago over Dessicator, like you say, a much more open map with *mumble* less fog.

P.S. Have read the mail and replied already.

Roll on BWT2L.

 

[old.KmA_MANTIS]

WTF!

I didnt realsise Arch wasnt there!

ARCH ARCH ARCH ARCH ARCH ARCH !

Hmmm...

Will send an e-mail bout that.

 

[haggisman]

/me likes desicator
its the only map where HAI cant be capped out within 2 minutes
hey why isnt tombstone or rescalience on the list

 

[Fergus]

If more folk want Archipeligo than deisscator, or any other map, let us know and if enough folk wanna change it, then so be it !

Ferg.

I`d rather have Dess over Archi anyday. Archi is just a zero-skill shrike capout frenzy. Last one with your pilots helmet on is outta there. Very boring. Dess on the other hand requires more teamwork, and thats what this is all about.

mongrol = that taccy only works (easily) on publics, not so simple in match situations

Damn right.

KmA v Yautja on Arch was one of the most exciting games I've ever played.

Arch is tacticly one of the best maps in the game - anyone that goes at it all gung ho rambo stylee is just dead in the water.

 

[old.Stabs]

Both maps have their merits, though i prefer archipelago. Mainly cos i hate the orange fog :cowsleep: .

 

[MYstIC G]

Maps without Fog = Good, Napster = BAD

 

[old.KW]

Stick mino in for Des

 

[haggisman]

they should throw a few custom maps into the mix to make it a little less boring

 

[MYstIC G]

I hear hostile waters is good, can't remember who it's by though.....

 

[old.KmA_MANTIS]

Insalubrius CTF r0x0rz!

 

[old.Torque]

Orange fog RoXors

+ there r sharks in those tropical waters :smileysex

 

[old.KW]

Insalubrius isnt to bad, might eat up the fps on low end systems tho

 

[old.Metric]

well the only suitable custom maps are in "unameds custom map pack".
basically the best custom maps out, modified by unamed for competition play.
Insalwhateverthenameis is in there too

[Mongrol]

tombstone? Defo preferred instead of Reversion.

 

[old.Stabs]

ugh, not tombstone. Its almost as bad as thin ice with an organised D.

 

[Mongrol]

Ok, Firestorm?

 

[old.Wils]

The CTF version of Insalubrious is pretty good.
I don't think Archipelago is that tactical a map at all though - it's just sniping and vehicle whoring.
Very little scope for anything else because it's so open.

 

[old.Stabs]

Sniper ability and use of vehicles can be a large factor in archi but that doesnt mean they are the only tactics. Riverdance plays alot like archipelago, except its easier to cap than archi is on foot. Offence has to work together alot to get past an organised defence.

Not that it matters now though with HH leaving the league only 9 maps will be played, i still think Archipelago should be played over Quagmire though.

 

[Fergus]

Just top let you know, there will be 11 weeks to the season which means that due to popular demand Archipelago will be included without the expense of any other map.

At the moment we are restricted to the maps that are on the servers none of the custom maps are on the cycle at the moment and I'm not sure when they will be.

[old.AntiPop]

Sh!t

Archi sux, I'd much rather have Insalubrius CTF any day.

 

[old.Stabs]

Be nice if they included Pantheon on one of the servers, i know it client side, but i was playing on splatterfest of azeroth server and it cycled to Pantheon and only 1 or 2 people were lost, but this quickly filled up again as im guessing peole have the map and want to play it.

Its been compared to Reversion but it plays alot faster as its more open to tank/bomber attacks.

Why 11 weeks? gonna be 12 per div now? 36 teams?

 

[Fergus]

We have at present 35 teams, so 2 Divs of 12 and 1 of 11.

http://leagues.barrysworld.net/bwtl/tribes.php shows the present listing, although I'm sure there will be some tribes that may drop out.
