AWESOME MAP

BRING BATTERY BACK TO COMPETITION

colon ex dee


on a serious note though,

just curious as to what it was like from the spectator perspective, the only thing I've heard so far is that "it was boring for us too" from an ettv spec

why do come to play if ure not interested at all?
because i actually had faith in this map, well, i was optimistic
Parent
U were whining before we even started
Parent
We were sarcastic back then
Parent
Damn that was funny sarcasm, haha!
Parent
Yep about as ridiculous as battery!
Parent
sarcasm isn't the same as humour
Parent
so what was the reason to use sarcasm in this case then? make yourself look stupid or what?
Parent
how the fuck should i know, i did play or watch the match, i just pointed out that sarcasm doesn't necessarily have to be funny. i use sarcasm all the time but i doubt people would call me funny.
Parent
well u know what they are talking about by reading few comments up, but true, u aint funny xd
Parent
teach me how to snipe!
Parent
Its family secret :<
Parent
the hax are transfered from father to son and from brother to brother :~>

It will suck no matter what changes.

Oasis > Battery
both dont work anymore, the metagame has changed too much

maybe without rifle, without panzer, without mines, and engies only getting 2 nades, the maps would be playable
Parent
sw_Oasis was quite nice indeed! Can you remember the reasons why people stopped playing this map? Im curious :-)
Parent
I've played it only once and was a little bit confused as to why you would need a stopwatch version of it ;-)
Parent
They were complaining about too many fullholds. There weren't more fullholds than in supply whenever I played it tho.
Parent
+1

oasis ftw
Parent
Stop using my fakenick. :(
Parent
im using it since 5 month or smth. and you should stop watching good movies :(
Parent
The only reason it was boring, was because uM got owned (talking bout first map).

Besides, let the ETTV-public of this day watch any oldskool game on Oasis with a double fullhold, and before it's finished 95% will have left the ETTV-server.
thats because oasis is shit and double fullholds are boring, its nothing to do with the "ETTV-public"
Parent
Then your whole journal was pointless cos the map wasn't the reason it was boring, it were the teams.
Parent
QuoteIt's quite boring to watch because it takes too much time from allies to axis spawn. Not enough excitement.


Quoteway 2 spammy


QuoteIt will suck no matter what changes.


Three quotes in 10 seconds of looking...

"it were the teams."
Parent
I'm talking about your logic, not the comments of other users.
Parent
i like to play it, but its foking boring to watch
It's quite boring to watch because it takes too much time from allies to axis spawn. Not enough excitement.
way 2 spammy, bring back oasis instead! with a allied cp spawn upstaris in the "tunnel"

wld p0wn
no don't. it's crap.
sir you missed my sarcasm :(
Parent
probably because i didn't read the journal til the end xd
edit: oasis > battery
Parent
Oasis & beach > all nP.
i would plus you if this were esr
Parent
I would have put the upper triangle the same way as the 2 lower ones, basis next to the circle.
Parent
The first rule of map design is that you can't have more than 3 triangles pointing the same way.
Parent
you fail at counting
Parent
WHAT ARE THE LITTLE TRIANGLES SITTING IN MR FUSEN?

That's got to be warning worthy, insulting an admins basic mathematical capability.
Parent
that's twice now you've utterly failed
Parent
Don't try and pass that one off as sarcasm.
Parent
I understand you don't like the fact you are turning into an American but it's gonna be okay
Parent
I just wish I had more friends like you.
Parent
wow, the transformation really is taking hold.
Parent
whining about double fullholds .. lol ;)


in rtcw that happened quite very often
RTCW map times were shorter.
Parent
well 15 minutes on mp_communiqe ... 20 minutes on mp_depot ...
Parent
last time i played, assault, ice, beach village, frost, all were sub 10 mins
Parent
as i wrote .. base = 15 .. depot = 20 .. so where did i mention beach or ice or such? xD
Parent
noone ever played depot seriously, and base is base

i am saying that in most competitive rtcw maps, times are much shorter therefore double fullholds are not as boring as in et
Parent
how did mystic do?
best eff and frags - least deaths , as expected.
Parent
This map need cp at side imo - 2 sides to defend at least.
I actually thought the 2nd time the map was played was quite entertaining as a spectator.
it's boring because it's a simple spamfest fullhold map. some ppl love the map and will say that you can only win it when you have decent teamplay in attack but it's bullshit. The only way you will win this map is if you luckily make it through the spam.

The hallway near the axis-spawn is simply a nade/rifle/panzer fest which need to have major tweaking before this map will be any good. Perhaps a hallway from there to the room with the generators in it (2nd axis-spawn exit) But I recon the lower rooms will be in the way.

EDIT:
After noclipping through the map it's actually possible to make a route from the hallways to the lower hall.

Perhaps that could make it more interesting and less spammy.
if defending team doesnt know when to fall back when their aggro defense is breaking, its their fault. this map really does require teamplay alot.
Parent
that and a lot of nades imo.
Parent
[+]

I've said the same Ronner.

The map may have worked in 2004, and I really liked playing it, but now that teams can spam so efficiently, its just boring.
