badlands - rush to mid first or camp the base with 4, and victory is yours.

hunt - more than 1 route, the small tunnel isnt worth to be called "a route"

lekky · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2006, 05:15:18 AM »

meini, you mean @blaa

But yeah i agree about Disaster

A.

It has a high route and a low route, as well as an intermediate route to low mid.
The low routes are wide, the fast high route is narrow meaning you generally can't rush to opponents base quickly.
Lots of barrels and things to jump on and off in the routes.
Plenty of a variety of equipment for 4v4
Multiple strategies can be employed.
First to rush to high can spray, however this sprayer can be hit from another route so the advantage isn't a map winner.

B.
2 Entrances to base so 1 person can't hold it well.
I guess all members could defend the base :/
Base is fairly compact.
Is there a lot of clutter a person could hide behind then shoot someone in the back as they walk past? (I dont think this should be in the spec.)

C.
Yes :p

D.
I think so yes.
I think a new spec should be added here about effect on Frame Rate. This map does not put excessive demands on framerate

If hunt is the map I think it is, it has lots of texture issues, paths that are too narrow, and the base was too easy to guard (you have to climb up ladders to get to the flag, right?).

CanCan is a really good map. I like it a lot. I'll nominate that for sure.

Also Encounter. But I think right now, it may be too campable.

MosEz · « **Reply #26 on:** April 28, 2006, 03:02:56 AM »

encounter is excellent

blaa · « **Reply #27 on:** April 28, 2006, 05:28:39 AM »

encounter has neutral flag (whatever they are called in community) like in mirrorr. I very much liked it in mirrorr. It gives something more to the game. Dont know what. Routes in enc. are fast, fluent. More camping spaces needed, but maybe not?

Eerm, add new high route to disaster? After using that map in some mathces (3-3 though) i havent seen, that some route is better than other routes. High - must use. And u can line high from low. Low route itself is quite fluent (example moonlit2r1, summer - very fluent enjoyable fast routes). Lots of camping spaces. When its 1-1. And 1 defends base, then its quite hard to win the defender. So, i wouldnt like if someone modifies the map, except one place. Add 1 entrance to each base. Hum, so u can fall on the flag. Maybe it should start from the house where the ladders, which lead u to high route, are.

Thunder and i guess cancan will cause fps problems for some players. But it is their own fault.

no one has answered me on this adding an fps demnds spec.

oddjob · « **Reply #29 on:** April 28, 2006, 01:31:45 PM »

Lets be honest here, If you can't get more than 60 fps in paintball 2 its definatly time for a vid card upgrade....As for making an fps consideration, its highly unlikely, because MOST everyone has a fairly decent computer/vidcard.

I just played both thunder and disaster. I believe that thunder would be a geat pbcup 4v4 map, although some of the hallways are a bit narrow there are enough ares that have a lot of space...its a good map.

As for Disaster on the other hand, I didnt likr it from the start, the textures suck. The high rout doesnt even travel all the way to the other base but rather to the middle of the map..

blaa · « **Reply #32 on:** May 06, 2006, 12:23:32 AM »

I think You didnt use the correct high route

. You used that route which leads u to a platform. High route has a bridge, which u can see from that platform.

lekky · « **Reply #33 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:09:59 AM »

yeah, there are 3 routes on disaster, low, high to mid, and hi to base?

bitmate · « **Reply #34 on:** May 06, 2006, 06:35:05 AM »

Wow... I don't know most of the maps mentioned here and I even don't have some of them...

But playing on maps, which most of the people are not used to seems to be a good aspect for the map choice for the next PBCup season. Playing castle1 or pbcub all the times gets pretty boring.

no time to post map requests atm, but i wanna make sure to request 1 map to be blacklisted though....

propaint

im sry but that map is 1 o the most poorly thought out maps ive ever seen. sure it has more than 1 route but i think that the decision to make the jump was based on the pretense that being able to strafe at a high speed as being skillfull, which its not. i also think that the lower route is more of a joke than a path, once again gathering massive speed on ice and leaping over barrels is not a skill, its something a moron who cant play in a challenging environment calls fun.

i think that this map has been played so often by certain teams that their mastery of the speed/timing is on point and used to make an unskilled bunch o idiots with tactic-phobeas and little to no right to be considered any more than a round after round repeat of the round that came before it.

even if a map has more than 1 route, the limtiation of one's usage of said right based on which team reaches the mid o the route first is what makes a map dull, uninteresting and not worth season 2.

all for now, more later

are you talking about propaint, propaint1 or propaint2?

lekky · « **Reply #37 on:** May 26, 2006, 05:55:53 AM »

well you raise some interesting points. But i don't want every map on the season 2 maplist to be the same. Different styles of play maker hte game interesting.

Although if a propaint map was to be put on the list, i think it should be pp2. I'm undecided as of yet if my enjoyment of pp and pp1 are clouding my judgement as to whether either should be on the maplist. Maybe someone would care to critique them..?

Either propaint or propaint1.

What about "hillside2"? I do think its great if it hasnt been mentioned already! Sorry i hate reading more then 1 page of different posts, especially on a Lazy day!

Hillside2 has more then 1 path to each flag.
It generates speed for faster users.
Great playable map.
