The X maps are gone from the server and it's time to sum up the impressions. I had the feeling that the gameplay of all maps became better because of the jails being "reversed". Especially the gameplay of CloseQuarters, Construction, Furia, Nifam and Rune did benefit a lot from switching the jails (of course you need to get used to it first). To me, two basic reasons came to mind:
  • The smaller the map, the more important is the 'right' placement of the jails (Nifam)
  • If the jails are in the enemy base it's very important that the according release switch is still far away from the jaildoors (Furia)
I am amazed how valid the information about the placement of the jails/switches (given on the Wiki) still is, as imo maps that follow these guidelines do offer the best possible gameplay. Tarquin pointed out another thing I think is true, players easily get confused if they find themselves in the enemy base after a release (sometimes still happens to me on some maps).

More opinions please ...

In that case, can you put the maps back for a day or two then?
The problem is that I'm just so damn used to the old maps, every change just feels like it's wrong.

A big part of the (hectic) fun in smaller maps like Nifam and Furia is just the fact that your button is that close to your own jail.
At the moment I stick to my point, it's playersize dependent.

I really would have liked to play CloseQuarters-X on a full server, but unfortunately the X-maps were already gone on the Sunday Lockdown.
:cool:

I had fun killing you yesterday Sex :lol:
About the X maps.....I still like the normal ones better, I can't say the games are better or worse on the X maps. As I said before, it's personal...everyone likes something different and I'm glad that's the way it is....

I could adapt to these reversed maps despite being used to the others, and well I don't really feel the difference.
Will they come back later at the server or can we delete them ? :D

I tried to connect, but got an "InfAdds" version mismatch. Most problably because of some map i recently installed. Thing is: the InfAdds was there because of the X-maps? And if so, i'll be ok after, or (i'll try reconnect, other day to see) is some permanet UTJB content? (other than the X-maps and all, i mean)
