Posted August 30, 200717 yr I've heard that there are night maps; How come I've never played them? Could we get 1 added to rotation? Perhaps replace 'Kashan' on Server #2? (there's hardly ever enough people for a proper game of Kashan on server #2) What about all these maps: Bi Ming, Mao Valley, Muttrah Nights, Zatar Wetlands... Is there a reason they're not in the rotation..? http://www.adam.com.au/thomajar/thomajar-sig-1.jpg
August 30, 200717 yr Bi Ming is the only night map. Bi Ming was voted out of rotation quick smart as it is really a gimmick, nothing more. Even the DEVs didnt think it would be liked. Kashan on server 2 can be a very good game with 8-10 a side, it wont be removed. Mao was also removed by popular vote. Muttrah is not included in 0.6 but is apparently being refined for a comeback in 0.7. Zatar was voted off server 1 as its considered a tank camp fest. Its also only available in 64p as 16p does not work so it is therefore not in rotation on server 2. Former Head Admin Check out the current admin list HERE
August 30, 200717 yr Bi Ming, as well as being a very poor map, causes CTD's for everyone who doesn't know how to fix it. Therefore won't ever be added until this is fixed, and even then, probably not because it is a very poor map. Mao Valley is not in 0.6 so it can't be added. There has never been a Muttrah Nights in any release... There's been a Mashtuur Nights before, but it hasn't been in since ~0.4. Muttrah City however as well isn't in 0.6, so it can't be added. Zatar Wetlands was removed for reasons Jim said, because it's just a complete tank whore map, and from all the posts we've had on here about tank whores, won't be added. The 16p version is completely out of bounds as well, so it can't be added because it can't be played. As Jim said as well, Kashan can be a very good map with 8-10 people. Not all big maps need massive amounts of people to have fun. The way everyone's been going on in these forums, no one wants any maps in the rotation... http://www.ancientdev.com/images/devsig.png
August 30, 200717 yr The way everyone's been going on in these forums' date=' no one wants any maps in the rotation...[/quote'] LOL seems like it. Those devs better give us some more playable/stable 16 and 32 player maps ASAP or I'm gonna have to design one myself. And no one will like the result of that. Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
August 30, 200717 yr *sigh* They didn't follow through with my suggestion. Honestly I think they just cleverly waffled their way out of it with some assuring comments then left it in the dust. http://i.imgur.com/wofKY.jpg Portfolio Site http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/OperationCrownRibbon02.jpghttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/opagamaserv.jpg
August 30, 200717 yr Author The way everyone's been going on in these forums' date=' no one wants any maps in the rotation...[/quote'] Lol.. It would seem that way, wouldn't it.. Well, that all seems like fair reasons to me... Was only wondering why I'd never has the chance to play them.. I'll have to try Single Player... Single player works doesn't it? I haven't tried... http://www.adam.com.au/thomajar/thomajar-sig-1.jpg
August 30, 200717 yr The way everyone's been going on in these forums' date=' no one wants any maps in the rotation...[/quote']True. Unfortunately I think people are more motivated to go and post something on the forums about something they are unhappy with rather than something they are happy with. People who have just had an awesome game don't usually come and let everyone know how they feel on the forum, whereas people who are pee'd off (myself included, once or twice) come on here to vent their spleen... Shame that both sides aren't represented equally. With that out of the way; I reckon a night map would be cool (for a while at least ) but if it doesn't work, there's not much that can be done. Zatar Wetlands is the only map I flatly refuse to play. It is, as Jim said, a tank camp fest. I like infantry ops as well as combined ops (i.e. air/armour/infantry) cause thats where the tactics and teamwork are at. A bunch of people sitting around in tanks waiting for something to cross their LOS isn't my idea of tactics or teamplay.... http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb256/navymedic85/Signature.jpg
August 30, 200717 yr ... I like Mestia! http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/armouredservice.bmp

August 30, 200717 yr Who cares if people cant join the server when its playing make em wait or they can play the other servers while they wait.. The admin's care. You might think that attitude is all fine and dandy, but when the forums become overrun with requests to remove it because they can't join and CTD... you can see where it goes. We then lose players from frustration of them not being able to play. Not everyone has 24/7 to play PR, some, like myself only have 1-2 hours an evening, and when PR maps go for 1.5 hrs, people WILL NOT be happy when they CTD trying to load a map. Guess where they come to bitch about it... It doesn't matter that we have other servers they can play on, if they can't join the server with the people on it, they will come here and start the bitching. We played it extensively through the Beta stages of 0.6. You will notice that everyone who hates the map played the beta, and everyone who wants the map have not played the map enough. Just going from your stats GruAncH, you have only played the map for 2.5 hours. You think you like the map, but you have only played two rounds. Two rounds that you happened to win. Get put on the losing team, guess where you come eh? It can be a map that you can either have a bloody good round on, or rage quit due to you about to get a purple heart. It's when you rage quit you come onto the forums and spam us to remove it. We took the initiative and already removed it to prevent this. I don't care how much you want us to put it in, it won't even be considered until the CTD issue is rectified, and even then, it will be the last map we consider putting in. http://www.ancientdev.com/images/devsig.png
August 30, 200717 yr 0.7 should see a large rise in the number of infantry/ infantry + apc maps due to the community modding projects coming to a conclusion. The following teams are being added by dedicated, non dev, members of the community. The Canadians The Polish The Russians http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f162/rdeimel/T90sig.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f162/rdeimel/Badge-1.jpg I'm the dominatrix!
August 30, 200717 yr The Polish wOOt! Finally I can show you all how good Polish stock, such as myself, fights http://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/insurgency.gif Undisputed King of Insugency, Allahu Akbah!! God damn black people can run fast.
August 30, 200717 yr Relax Ancient dont bust a valve! I understand theres issues with that map and CTD. I personally dont care if I win or lose, the map layout and the green glow are what I like about it. I dont expect it to be put back in rotation people were bagging it and I myself am rooting for it to come back hopefully 0.7 will solve some of the issues like Bi Ming and all the small maps. http://matt.itsthemadhouse.com/na/sigs/na-sig-gruanch5.png http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/bulletmagnet.bmp http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/gren.bmp http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/ocrs.bmp http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/opagamaserv.jpg
August 30, 200717 yr Author Perhaps we could try it out on the tactics server #3 sometime.. I understand why it wont be put into regular rotation, and agree; but GruAnch made it sound like soooo much fun...!!! http://www.adam.com.au/thomajar/thomajar-sig-1.jpg
August 31, 200717 yr The Canadians Mwa ha! I wonder if they will put in the Leo 2's? We did just get them though so maybe? I have to say I'm with Graunch, I like the map. I also like Miesta as it's just a fun time. I really don't care if I lose it really is all about fun for me. However, it is more fun to win. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/SirChuc/smokejumper3.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmphttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/OperationCrownRibbon02.jpg Or as one of many thousands of Canadians have said, my guns are at the bottom of that lake.
