Let’s talk about the babel rotation!
I’ve made a list of maps with some previews and stuff. Let’s talk about what maps we like and don’t like and see if we can make some changes, removals, additions, modifications: whatever. If you have any maps not on this list that you think would be good for babel, please post it in this thread.
Thank you very much to bring this up. I saw below maps that has fewer players (sometime none) than the other. I would suggest those need to be remove.
Alexandria
crossfire3
icecraft
mazemountain
swag2
Tortuga
Yubacore
Would be nice if we can add the tradeoff, abridgetoofar to the list.
I very much so dislike mazemountain. That’s the only map I don’t like to the point where I usually change servers. It’s hard to build on due to all the nooks and crannys for smgs to spam your tower from and it’s hard to even run across the map to kill people without making tunnels that soon get overrun and overused.
TowerDive (I believe the map name is) is my favorite at the moment. The distance from one spawn to the other is small so the arena peeps that don’t have anywhere to play anymore (due to all maps and top 10 always being empty) have somewhere to noscope in. There are flanking islands for the water campers and the builders can still build. Even though the map starts off hectic with a lot of spawn killing that ends pretty quickly and pretty soon some massive forts start to be built. I really hope we can get some smaller fast paced maps like these. (I might make some later on if there’s a wanting for them) Also, the maps that don’t require a tall tower and just a bridge are usually fun as well, because if the bridge falls you didn’t lose hours worth of work.
pinpoint2 have been requested lately by players in game, it remains popular. I think driftice was designed as a replacement for pinpoint2, but why not have both!
and please remove yubacore, players keep spawning on the wires and is so annoying when you are trying to build a tower
I would also like to see pinpoint2 added to the rotation, but I don’t really think driftice should get removed. It’s a pretty fun map except that the chat can’t be seen sometimes.
I agree on this one, I die sometimes because of sudden movements when I spawn on wires.
I don’t see how yubacore is that good of a map for babel though. I think it’s just too cluttered and doesn’t allow any far shots unless you go all the way up the hill to the side. At the same token there isn’t a way to get really close to your enemy either, because the ditches on the side of the road are the only way to get to the enemy quickly without getting your head shot off from people on your flank and they are open to the enemies camping on their tower.
Thanks for this Danke! I love pinpoint2, but for babel…? Not sure. Grunge you should get modloader if you can’t see chat. I love the wire spawning but I hate how I accidentally press W A S or D and fall off. I remember some guy trying to jump off and suicide but then i killed him, poor fellow, can’t even kill himself xD!
