My take on it is unchanged:  A few less vehicle-heavy/non-vehicle maps are fine. If there's enough people who want to vote for them then they'll get played. If not...they won't. I added it back in this morning.

Personally I loathe Assault. If people want to play it...well...they can...

Magnet was reactivated today
To the surprise of 0 people it was a success as always
As soon as magnet started being played 8 more players joined (including me)
0 complaints
btw I failed many times trying to get up there, It's not as easy as it seems against a good defense



Joustin_Beaver:
Please bring back Streetfight map.

Piglet:
It just needs a killzone up there and all will be good.

Right:
First thing first:  Thank you Piglet

That will be a challenge with 2 times 100 health keg  O:-)

If it is even possible:
Every 5 minutes a deemer and and auto return zone  >:D

But really, it is a bit the the same like the shed in Harobed or the room in Barn. With the difference that not anyone can reach it.

My thought is that these original maps (just like collateral) are just fine. all in all it can take what? 15-20 minutes?
That is only when someone goes up with the flag and decides to stay there.
I my memory serves me well, a "normal" game does not go to the end.

Originality is my preference, small adjustments... ok, new objects/vehicles are not in favor in my opinion.
Especially when I think about the fact that these maps have sometimes existed for 15-20 years.

A lot of People play Unreal because of that: You know what you get.

As an example the Omni server: "look what the done to my song MA"
They changed almost all the maps (with those new and to powerful crazy vehicles)
Result: I'm not playing there.

I (again personally) am also in favor of adding a second version and seeing which one is preferred, data will prove this!

Piglet:
This is a serious suggestion :  You have some good ideas. Why not take up mapping. You could help with map tweaks (or even new ones).

Basically all you need to do is to disable your graphics driver when using unrealed, and work through the book: "Mastering Unreal Technology: The Art of Level Design" by  Jason Busby; Zak Parrish; Joel Van Eenwyk
