I have heard similar things about 2fort, but I have never seen it.

I actually really like to play non-alltalk now and then, because then you see who really has good teamwork and who doesn't. It adds a whole other dimension to the game that you can coordinate movements without IMMEDIATELY TELEGRAPHING YOUR PLANS to the other team.

As for maps, I'm okay with a few rounds on most maps. I would like Granary, but it's so damned huge that yeah, unless you have too many players, it can be a REALLY swingy map.

Fastlane, Well, Granary et al, all suffer most from being way to linear. I mean, yeah they have lots of paths and places to go, but when you REALLY get right down to it, they are each basically the same map, a map shaped like this:

@=@=@=@=@

One, even two maps like that would have been okay, but would it have killed them to design even one map with a wild and crazy structure, like say:

/--------@-\
@--------@--------@
\-@--------/

(the angled paths are the branches off the main line)

I mean, I figure you don't have to go nuts, but I'm sure you can do better for a CP map than three different iterations of a straight line.

They did one of those, and now we have like 10 pages of bitching about how apparently confusing it is.

What map was that?

Also: Peoplez r dum

Some nights I have no problem playing on maps I don't care for. Tonight is not one of them.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #1024 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:32:45 PM »

I added four of the suggested maps but cait won't put them up for download cause you're all whiny bitches

Mach4's always been hands-down my favorite map, and I'd love to see this bad larry on Shadow Moses.

We need more good ctf maps anyhow!

Maps that I think are cool and also just kind of look cool:

arena_harvest - A good enough map it should be included in the next update.
ctf_aerospace - Still "in production", but it's such a gorgeous, fun map that I don't give a shit.
cp_towerbridge - Haven't played it, but oh god it's a non-desert map.
cp_follower - Fun, simple, quick map.
arena_lighthouse - Looks cool.
arena_offblast - I love this arena map, mostly because it's fun to be a scout and jump around the edges
pl_frontier - The amount of work, polish and creativity that went into frontier makes it obvious to see why people like it so much.

There are some other cool maps on there if you poke around, including Yukon and what looks to be a Greek themed arena map. If we're going to get custom maps and share them, people can just get them from FPSBanana rather than download them off the server. I think downloading maps that way is slow because it points at Pyoko for the maps.

Apparently my new mic likes to disable itself in the Control Panel. Well la de da.

So, yeah... I really doubt I'm going to ever join a game in the middle of something more specifically weird to me.

Niku · « **Reply #1028 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:45:53 PM »

That was the idea.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #1029 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:47:37 PM »

It's probably Source switching your mic when you join game. My girlfriend had the same problem, and we found that altering the cfg file was the way to go.

Brentai · « **Reply #1030 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:47:45 PM »

~~Er, does the game tell you I'm going to join that long before I actually do~~

Steam friends, right. You mother fucker.

Still having serious lag issues, but now I'm wondering if it's the server since other people have been having weird lag spikes as well. The severe lag really kills my interest in playing once I can't hit things.

Niku · « **Reply #1032 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:49:19 PM »

Zaratustra was some kind of horrible stop-motion animation thing for a while there.

He was actually impervious to my bullets: I had him in a corner, literally five feet away, minigun firing into him, I slowly lost all my hit points and died, he was at full life afterward.

Lady Duke · « **Reply #1034 on:** June 10, 2009, 08:02:46 PM »

Ugh. That's really all I have to say about the incredible lag lately. Ugh. Ugh.

Also super +++ bonus Noro played with us tonight :D:D:D:D:D

The most terrifying moment was when I was sniping his sentries as he tried to build them, and then he just started teleporting gradually toward me in an erratic zig zag, his massive wrench swinging down with every jump.
