Heh, it's still on our rotation, but it never comes up since it's random and there are so many maps 
Down with freefall fooking map, me always trying to keep the rangers off me and stay on the asteroids. Which is hard if you are a tech
FreeFall had a custom gametype it used that changed grav and fall damage etc
I tried to do something like that in a ut map and it wasnt working, they could probably do it but i dont think they need too.... That map is also almost easy enough for noob mappers to make lol, something similar anyway, ive been planning to make tutorials for a long time that cover making super fast rocks meshes/texs, i just have to get the tex making down to a easier faster way, atm it only takes like 10 mins to make a huge ammount of rocks or cliffs meshse to use in a map using a default texture. Someone could make all those asteroids, and make something alot like it without the bases and fall speed/damage in a day prolly, using motherships skybox would be badass too, even some of the dm maps too.
Id rather see a new version, it was sorta fun to play but it was just one of those maps that everyone loves to hate.

Can you people explain why you dislike it so much? Is it the low grav? Is it cause you can fall off and die? Please explain.
For 2 reasons.
Firstly a few rangers with a good aim can control most of the map. Once you are in the air, it's easier to predict someones movment, and so easier to snipe them.
Secondly on a public server, it's far too easy for 2 techs to get control of the gens, and use the supply station to spam turrets. At that point the map is as good as over, but you just need to wait for the energy to run out.

I agree fully on the turret farming. I once set up about 20 turrets and forcewalls on the Multiplay public server, which rendered that gen unusable...it was locked down to well. Many complaints from other players until one went to get an admin, which happened to be me, so I kicked myself and have never returned to that horrid place.

With 7710, that was changed to some strange internal mutator. I've never seen anything like it in any other map, but it works. On a patched server, Freefall comes up as "XMPGame" instead of "AsteroidGame".Major-Lee-High said:
Anyway, I'm not terribly fond of the map. I'd rather just get the initial release out of the way and then worry about Freefall afterward.

Im surprised that people dont notice the fast paced flying action you get in that map. And if youre a ranger, I definately dont understand why you would dislike it. I find it easy to avoid being sniped when you weave through the air(space) flying. I find it a challenge to make it back to base with an arty.
Maybe something can be done about the turret farming. Maybe there can be more openings at the energy meteor to make it easier to destroy those tech turrets. Or place the ammo stations just outside those energy meteors so that it would be riskier to go out and to re-supply.
But i really do enjoy this map and i would love to see it in UTXMP.
Actually I wish the map was bigger and had like 4 energy
