I vote yes to bring back battery and oasis. And put some Karsiah aswell! Naice maps, some of the reasons people get bored playing this game is becase every time you play, people pick always the same maps (sd/gr).. My favourite maps aswell but we need to change a little our routine!

and the other reason was that 80% of the EC players like Night and co would tell you "X map is shit, Y map is shit, don't put them in, they're shit"
Its sad to say but I finally admitted this game is dead when you need 2 hours to play a fucking game
Noobs play same maps 24/7 and when you wanna play some cool maps they emoquit or kick you from teh server coz they totally suck lol
You can say whatever you want it's the same things since 10 years and it will be the same till the end of ET.
Remember an old OC, where we add the competition version of Oasis on the list, and for more than 45% opponent refuse to playt, or they camp on spawn during all the game trying to get a draw to play a decider. ill get you the link you will see. Sad but true.
Personally i like Oasis - battery - dubrovnik or Library ( really good map btw ) but for this one, we add it on the ladder and it was played 3 or 4 times in a year
+ reactor, braundorf, et_ice
im one of those guys that tries to vote a map outside of the cb pool every once in a while, do i get to play it? no.
ppl pick sd/grush all the time because you cant lose on them because of a mistake. you need at least 3/2...
as opposed to a map like adlernest, where most people don't have "dat spot" where they know they can go and be dominant every single game. i for example always feel pretty comfortable on radar, especially defence, regardless of activity. :) and actually one mistake should never be the reason to lose the entire map. that definitely doesn't tell you which team is better. D: compared to something like a sneak to build crane on supply, or a spawn push on goldrush. definitely tell more about skill than shooting rnades in hallways on braundorf or the super gay camping involved in winning eg. erdenberg. :D
so sup Luke?
crevasse ;) or the one blacky made a year ago ( Library )with some custom cups and a lot of beta gameplay testing...it is a good map imo ;) ( e.g. http://www.gamestv.org/event/31230-vj-team-vs-team-clown/ - i know this ettv is on the b2...)
i think battery is one of the most broken maps in the game tho old version and sw version.
But yeh playing diff maps is cool
The thing is, those maps are played so often, everyone knows all the strategies they always use; Who goes, who goes down, when to push in a certain direction, etc.
Throw in new maps and the collective apathy towards learning them and you get the current level of resistance.
No wonder the few remaining players here can't accept new fps titles (new titles being bad aside). They just don't like change and probably never will.
That's only way to let people play new maps, which actually works.
Look at Missile_bx*. '
I remember when it was added to the CB-mappool list for OC. Everyone was playing that map on unofficial games. Just to practice it. Nowadays no-one' wants to play it anymore.
One-day-cup (or timbolina) adds it to its mappool, and you see teams like Rockit and Wise play it.
Just force it.
and fuck Oasis and Battery.
* 'x' represents 3 or 4
If it is like you said, then most people don't even want to play new maps. Ergo no point is asking for new maps, if majority is against it, and admins don't want to force anything, except dates/times.
supply, sw_gr, missile, Karsiah, adlernest, Oasis, Radar, et_ice, Adlernest! I think CB admins should think about this when (if there is) they make the summercup!
so for example missile, dubrovnik, karsiah, sw_oasis, and 2 more.
also if we had sd & grush in the mappool, everyone would pick them above these other maps.
That's how it was when Missile was added to CB-mappool-list.
