Over the past few days there has been some controversy in the ET community as to Clanbase's decision regarding the map pool for the upcoming Opencup and Eurocup. The most recognized one being the move to exclude supplydepot from the map pool.
At the moment, the community seems to be divided into several groups all with different opinions.
1) Those in favour of clanbase's decision - Commonly backed up by stating that it is time for innovation, ET is in need of a change and new maps such as karsiah and bremen (and the comeback of battery) are the way forward.
2) Those against clanbase's decision - Supply is and always will be the heart of ET, it has provided some of the best games to watch and has been a joy to play, so why the reason to change things?
3) Those who mediate between both groups, that being they too feel that it is time to move on from supply, however the new maps chosen are not quite "ready" to be played at competitive level .. yet.
It seems to me that most of the people float around group 2 and as the people in group 3 would want to see supply in the Opencup and Eurocup aswell this year, I decided to create #we-want-supply and ask clans to support the cause to welcome supplydepot back into the map pool.
Furthermore, I have decided to create a poll to gather the opinions of all concerned individuals. You can cast your vote from http://turbomatik.i-prague.com/Hype/supply.htm at http://www.yourfreepoll.com/cqezqtvhsp.html (this is not an official poll).
Have a nice day :-)

Until then...
Why sign up at all?
Point is, polls are very easy to ignore - as are a few whine journals.
i prefer et_ice
and put village and beach too
OH NOES NO ZUPPLY APOCALPYZZZZZ !!!!!!1!11!1!1!!!!!
However IRC channels and polls on other sites are not going to get any attention from Clanbase, if you want to do a poll do it on crossfire.
About the new maps:
They were introduced and put in the mappool for offi's too fast. There should have been a longer 'testperiod', so clans have more time to get to know them.
Apart from that, I'm curious to see how many new beta's' and 'te' versions will be released. I think it would be more appropriate to wait for something like a final version that has proven to be free of bugs, annoying things etc., instead of releasing a new version every 2 weeks.
But that's just my humble opinion. :)
why do we need 2 new, untested maps?!?
it seems like CB needs to change sth every upcomming season (remember 5on5). when will they recognize that most people love the game like it is?!?
k i dont wanna flame.
the maps r tested in about 5 to 10 competition matches. supply needed 2 years to get rid of every bug...
i like ET and dont need any changes, same for my teammates, we dont need bremen, 5on5, mortar or proning. thx 4 ur interest
I hate spam, and sd is a spam map, so one season without supply will be great... And new maps are looking nice...
Battery is great map, very similar to radar... and et needs that kind of maps... thats why karasiah is a good choice... dunna about bremen, havent played it...
on battery 2,3 axis may spam at once coz there are 2 ways to get in to bunker... on supply is always one way ... so 6 axis try to stop 6 allies ..
bunker - spam 2 win
cp - spam 2 win[one rifle spamming tunel]
cranes - SPAM
supply is one of the skill maps where u can't spam so much... and u need aim to win it
battery and other maps like that are almost all about spamming
in batter first stage is spammy, 2nd stage if allies don't have back is spammy... and only the gun def isn't spammy
anyway, battery is far from being an aim based map.
Not even to mention the fact that battery is way more spam than sd.
I WANT GOOD OLD OASIS BACK !!!!
its the best competitive map
the ones who dont like it can choose another from the list
invest so much energy in playin the new maps like you do here and we will have a wonderful spring season.... ;)
that's why I like 3on3 more
even 3on3 sometimes isnt skilled like it should be :)
In other words try all maps, and keep the best :p
bettery without mines is great map... team with better teamplay will win... like on radar...
It are nice maps to play (competitive) and they should recieve a chanse...
Although i don't think it's a reason to kick supply out of the map pool!
IMO trow out battery :D
Grtz
battery out plz
no supply plz!
:XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
<3
new are the future...
never remove radar or other from maplist, only battery!!
(soz my english :< )
add mp_wolken instead of battery
Glider in imo
After some years, people started to play it and now, in every wolf server u get ice 80%
If u think it's a lotto map, definitely u dont know a shit about strategy.
Same for frostbite
supply is boring. every clan plays same tactics... where is the phantasy? so f1 for supply out.
About battery and radar. Those aren't fair. faster pc are always advantaged and the good part of netgaming should be that everyone should be able to play it with same advantages.
imo.
