New Old Maps
Since the map sources are finally open, there is our chance to bring new old maps into et.
We all saw sw_oasis and sw_fueldump fail hard, because it was impossible to edit the maps and onyl change spawntimes and some simple stuff.
Now the few remaining skilled mappers could take the great parts of those maps and remove or edit the parts that did not work out.
Are there any mappers willing to do?

I'd personally like a new fueldump with a new first part (depot fucking owns! with cp spawn) and a slightly edited oasis (not the sw b3 shit).

just fix some bugs, barrals etc.
+ i know a kinda bug on oasis which its basically impossible to defuse. :) pmme if you need help on that one pmme on here
delete supply+b4+adler from the map pools, make some new maps, bring oasis ( the old one ), goldrush ( the old one ) and some maps like et_ice, beach etc back.
but would be nice if we got brand new onces, (not saying its easy to make tham though) like bremen is a greate map or frost & adler where a real inpact when they where relised
you can't just remove supply because it's "overplayed" as it still is the best map in et for competition besides radar.
and you can't compare it with a fucking horrible map like braundorf which is only leaning and camping and lotto with low m_pitch (no whine, i'm also using low m_pitch, but still).
bremen was a nice try and even made it into the mappools. it's a decent map but it's not as good as supply actually. for example the last stage - defending the truck - is overpowered imo and if someone is able to repair the truck as long as axis don't have a defense at truck yet then the team is often fucked. but all in all it's already a very decent map, especially compared to the likes of braundorf, frostbite and adlernest (which are playable in 3on3 but suck hard in 6on6).
and if we don't even have maps to replace braun or frost with, then removing supply shouldn't even be considered. but that's just my opinion.
*decem's version of oasis is what we need !

/m frico
also, returning to old maps would just be going full circle, which is the opposite thing to what ET needs
we need new maps to keep the game fresh, its what seperates a manly mans game from a lesser game, for instance WC3 vs StarCraft.
bad english, dunno how to explain it :D
boxroom isnt on the command map, check yourself
just remove SUPPLY from ET.
its just too boring map thesedays.

Get some ideas from cod4 maps?
i love the radar summer idea:)
I would change every map so, that the max time takes 15 minutes. 30 minutes is toooooo long.

Since we all like maps with moving things. - grush_te with tank, and truck; supply with truck, crane; bremen with truck - my idea is to shorten the railgun - for example - a tug should have been loaded already @ start, change spawnpoints, make map a lil bit smaller, increase fps.
I'd also like to see revived dubrovnik, famous phrase here 'it has got POTENTIAL' and I wish that potential was exposed. Unfortunately map was fucked up pretty much with fps, so its the first thing we need to work on.
I have sort of idea that crossfire admins in cooperation with gamestv.org or smth could work on. CDC5 or whatever it is going to be called is soon, why not giving a chance for a new-old maps over there ? Organize a contest for the best competition mappack - including 6 maps (for example system 3-3 > stock+revived: radar, sw_te, + revived map by author; non-stock+revived : supply, bremen or any other + one map revived by author - could be dubrovnik or so).
Prize: ? We are all watching those adverts in here - earned money could be used for a prize. 100 euro or/+ some hardware could be nice I think.
start at city and build a cp somewhere later, think decem had this in his oasis pic.
not much of a railgun fan tbh.
we like maps with docruns
only map that succed without moving things was radar.
perfect map in my opinion:
(destroyable obecjt/capturing flag) + (escorting vehicle) + ( obj run ) > last 2 parts may switch.
WTF IS THAT TANK?! :D
so we should do one more but there's inside like adlernest or braundorf @ the control because outside map are really bad for ppl with low CPU
but you see, we have 10 maps (if I haven't forgot some) here but ppl keep playing braun and supply (lol) we can't change it
edit: there are not enough inside maps, all the maps are outside and only 1 inside.
stock et maps are not designed for competition, it is useless, infact probably stupid to play them*
*except radar, which was a complete fluke
We all have to try the map and play it else the mappers work is for nothing.
€ + reactor & another i forgot the name of
Yeah but rly ive got some ideas for a map but i cant make maps my self :< If some1 is good @ mapping im free to share my ideas! :)
ET MUST LIVE!
