GD EAS Map List Change

[{GD}Odie3]

Currently GD EAS has a pretty full map list but I was thinking perhaps less is more...

If you think the Sever's Map list should be reduced please give your thoughts of maps.

I'm thinking of a Rotation of 10 maps.

Mostar
Sandman [either night or day]
Skopje_EX
Chemical Threat
Tuscany
Island
Jerusalem Day
fmKasbah
London City
Avignon [For a fast game]

Suggestions/additions/changes?


Crap, wrong Forums - can someone move to online?

LD´s ACB version 3 would be a nice addition.. ;-)

That seems like a nice list. More or less - the best EAS maps. I think we could do without 'Island' though. Maybe keep 'Frozen' instead?

The only other decent map that comes to mind is 'RtK' - but a lot of people dislike it I suppose.

I always liked 'Peacemaker' too - despite the bugs.

It's hard to remember the names of any other decent maps - maybe I'll post later if I can remember.

Okay, Map List Active.

Changed Island for ACB_V3 and added Peacemaker [11 maps total].

I am Demosthanese, and I aprove this decision.

I'll sleep better tonight knowing that! ;)

I actually don't manage to play enough EAS to really give lots of feedback.

Still I believe the more maps are in the cycle - the better. You offer variety for players to vote.

I personally don't like chemical threat and Island.

I do like Tuscany (day/night), Pankisis and Iraq.

iraq would be a + value. yes. But this map has a single flaw... it's too easy to lock attackers in their spawn without giving them any chance to fight back. And when you play against some of the EAS players out there, it tends to get anoying as they exploit this possibility as much as possible. I guess it's ok, but it doesn't make the map very interesting. It even gets a tad boring.

That's assuming that all the maps are of the same quality. There are not many "above average" maps in INF, and only 2 or 3 good maps.

Another reason for a smaller cycle is that I believe I saw a post to where new players did not know the maps very well [or at all]. Perhaps with a smaller list it will be easier for new players to get to know the layout.

peacemaker makes really good games, i'd add that one too

[geogob]

ugh. not peacemaker. no. This map I learned to hate it for O so many reasons.

[Demosthanese]

Peace maker is the one with the killer BSP by the CD, right?

[Burger]

I'd rather smaller maplists, cause it you don't have most of the maps, you spend most of your time (and quota) downloading the maps and not playing.

Maybe have 3 lists of 10 and change them once a week or something.
