Popular map servers rotation change

[Ch3tan]

Havana and chateu should both be running on the popular map servers from next reboot. Let us know who you feel about these new maps on the rotation -after you've played them prefrebly.

Ta,

Ch3tan.

Chateau is excellent, I've really enjoyed it so far. Great open bomb sites, really good fun.

Havana, I've only played it for 15 minutes, so I'll keep quiet for now.

I think that both maps need to be on all server rotations basically so people can make there minds up on weather they like them or not. My personall opinions on the two maps are that there a good addition to CS. Although I cant see de_chateu being used in many clan matches as it's a very big map but it is imo great for public play with a few different ways to get to both bomb points and some interesting choke points. cs_havana also seems to play quite well and the times i've played it (albeit less than chateu) I have again enjoyed the map.

These two seem to be a huge improvement on the three maps that were included in 1.3, de_storm what the hell were they thinking. Overall i think the two maps will become favourites with most players which can only be good for the game.

 

[Ch3tan]

The maps are running on the normal servers as well.

I didn't like chateu when was playing the beta, but it has promise when team work is used -how often teamwork is used on a public is another matter.

Havana is a nice map, you don't get that many CS maps these days, but I like this one.

Well militia and assault need to be removed from populars....

and the new ones shouldnt be added yet

until we can gauge their popularity amongst the players...

that wont happen for a few weeks

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

Militia ain't that bad is it Sky?

I like Chateau.

H8 Havana.

Though both maps are ok.

Can't realy say i liked either.

The expansive areas are great, and they look nice, but far too many points of entry for both teams.

I thought that Chateau was bad enough, but then i played Havana a couple of hours later, it was worse

Can't realy say iv'e allways liked the cs maps where it's been 2 choke point battles, but after playing those 2 maps, i can see it's point.


The middle ground imho is maps like cobble, and dust 2, both offer multiple entry points which lead to the same areas.

Chateau and especaily Havana offer too many multiple points which leads to tight flanking postions from unseen points of entry.

That might suit clan games, but on publics it's not so good, as it's pot luck what happens.

Neither is a classic

oi sky leave militia alone, one of my favs, great as ct, bit of a challenge

leave it be

or ill ground yer, no pocket money and bed by 7pm

 

[throdgrain]

Yep both of the maps are ok, though neither are really great imo. They is ok i guess.
Remove millita though? Are you mad ?

 

[old.silk|away]

this may sound silly, but can we pls get CS_Docks on the pop map server? As I think a lot of pple will agree it is a pop map!

 

[Will]

I agree with that one. Bring back cs_docks.

 

[Ch3tan]

Please stick to the topic of the thread, and no custom or old maps not included with the mod version of cs will be put on the normal servers.

 

[old.silk|away]

Why? Surely Popular maps means that, and if Cs_Docks popular (which I think we all know it is), why cant we have it??

It was popular, but not anymore. I still love it myself.

Anyway, chateau is SHIT, and Havana is good.

Surly the idea of the populars is so that anyone who has just started to play CS can play it "straight out of the box" so to speak. If you include maps which people then have to download, it will just put them off.

IMO, of course.

As for the new maps, I havnt had a chance to play them yet.

 

[Ch3tan]

There are 4 servers running just these two maps, although they wont be up long. Try them there, see what you think. silk|away, docks as a non-standard cs map will only ever find itself on a custom map server. This is to make sure that the main servers are accessable to one and all.

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

Hmmm, Havana is okish. It's nice with only 12 peeps - 16 is a bit much. Degenerates into huge flukey free-for-alls. No skill involved.

Chateau... I like

 

[Skyler]

gah dad, militia is cack, youll realise this one day!


Its no better than siege or assault or any of the other maps you used to leave the server because of

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

Militia...

/me creams meself.

 

[S-Gray]

Militia is the best i thinks heh

naa, militia as ct is a good challenge, i like it

siege and assault, yeah both cack, but not militia its good

 

[Moving Target]

I like siege. Militia's boring imo. cs_docks still 0wn3d all though

 

[Tom]

Militia is boring now you can't use hossies to jump onto the ledge overlooking the last sewer exit.

Chateau is a map I like - lots of scope for firefights, plenty of rush action at the start, its fun.
