Sticky: Current Railz Map Rotation

[fdrjk]

Mymap?

[Acer]

Now you're making it sound like it's not possible to remove a map if the person that suggested it doesn't stick around.
Besides, just by looking at that screenshot I can already tell that the map will be fine for rails and 100 times better than for instance that stupid stadium map.

[console]

we will be stuck with yet another shitty map in the rotation

Or we could do like last time, and have people post lists of maps they think should be removed, and if there's general agreement, the maps will be removed.

yep sounds good to me. i wouyld like to nominate giekedm5 or whatever its called and ven dm4. Now let me explain why i have this opinion on liveitfornow's request...we went through a period a few months back where this idiot did nothing but sit in the railz server and maymapped shitty maps all day, not playing A SINGLE ONE. it was extremely frustrating because we never saw the regular maps. that is why i have this opinion. If he was to say add it to the mymap that would be ok, but not for him to come back after months of not playing and ask for maps to be added ect i think is a bit rich, and he will most likely dissapear again for months sometime soon

P.S while u r at it wouldn't take much effort to give us a 2-3 second invuln spawn

btw, yes that is the annoying guy  "Fatbabyshits" and yes he did disappear shortly after the last round of changes to the map rotation.

litte known fact: he went drunkenly apeshit and spammed a bunch of stupid garbage for a whole day, ashtard style, before he disappeared for a bit and came back with a sillier alias.

[|iR|Focalor]

Yeah, I think I recall playing against him the past few days for several maps on Railz. Been nothing but quiet from what I remember.

[Whirlingdervish]

Actually, I only spammed for about an hour, and was muted for about 2 months.  How the fuck am I annoying?  I hardly type one message per game, if any at all, while Alpha suddenly connects, and starts bitching and moaning like the arrogant whore he is. I think annoying would be posting threads calling -gba- camping fags, bitching about nades, calling people idiots for no justified reason, starting anticheat accusations, and just being an overall killer of the community.  It's pretty fuckin obvious who is annoying, while me, I don't talk to anyone, I mind my fuckin business.  Fuck this shit, I'm tired of dealing with you whiny bitches.

Funny, I've never seen Alpha start rabidly griefing everyone on a server, out of the blue, to the point that he was muted...

What I have seen is you talking shit on him behind his back while hiding behind your stupid little alias, and it's pretty obvious that you're yet another mediocre player who circle jerk and talk shit on him while not being capable of beating the guy with 4 times your ping.

The fact that you immediately start talking stupid bullshit about HIM, in a post to ME, illustrates this fairly well


btw, I don't think he's out of line for expecting the fact that you don't really play most of the time to be taken into account when people change the actual rotation for everyone. even if you are around, a lot of the time you just spec or manage to get like 5 frags in 10 minutes.

for the record, I thought most of the maps you had asked to have added before were complete garbage and should have been mymap-only options.

fucking fuckin retard fuckall fucking fucking turd fuck fucking shitty fuck motherfuckin fuck fuckin fuckin 

You won't be missed.

 

[Whirlingdervish]

I got nothin else better to do than waste my time

 

We're in this thread to talk about maps, not Alpha.
Somehow you keep ending up back on the wrong subject.

I'm amazed at how much effort you put in to fucking bash me...

and by that, do you mean.. none?
You've made yourself look like a tool, I didn't even have to try.

Wdrail02 should be called big grey turd. Your other maps are decent, and I don't give a fuck. Demonrail1a is fucking horrible, Flesh Refinery should be called poo refinery, Monster5 another server killer, and the other shitty maps you added just contributed to people saying fuck this map and leaving. All 5 or so of the maps that replaced the old ones are garbage.

It's great that you have an opinion, but you should probably realize that your opinion of the rotation is not the only thing that people take into account when deciding what should be on it.

Other people's opinions don't really support yours on most of those points, and they tend to be regulars who actually play, or people that have played here for years without being a fucktard. for example: Demonrail1a is a great old school map thats been played in ffa railz for years and which multiple known TS players have stated that they like.

Monster5 was the only one of the maps I suggested last time as a replacement that nobody else had ever mentioned, and the only person I've seen complain about it, is you: the very same kid who just talks half the time and idles on the server complaining. Sadly, it's a fucking incredibly easy map to play, it's wide open and even someone on 200+ ping can rape it in under 5 minutes, unlike some of the absolute bullshit that you regularly mymap.

If you want to blather on and on about people "clearing out the server" perhaps you should look into the fact that most people won't sit through a map download just so you can mymap something on the server to look at it and then not bother to play it.

The only time I noticed my actions directly clearing out the railz server are when I'm playing and most of you newjack little fucks bail out after getting beat 2:1 or greater.

I agree.  Also, Derv's latest suggestions for maps are much better maps than the ones removed. Demonrail1a FTW. The rest are good, monster5 just descent.

But, I think any attempt to improve current railz rotation maps should be welcomed. If someone is doing homework, filtering maps, and making a selection of what he/she considers better candidates, I say go ahead.

Lets play Fatbabyshit's map/s and try to make an unbiased opinion based on the map, not on the person who suggests it.

[l0ckp1ck]

most of the maps that were changed last time turned out to be ok, some have become a fav of mine like q2rdm1 and grdm1 both cool maps. not too fussed about monster, its an ok map i guess just a bit big when few people r on. there will always be a wide opinion about what map is good and what map sucks, but i think we can all agree most regulars want ven dm4 and giekdm5 gone

[Whirlingdervish]

if you've played thru a match on "ehdoomroom" you've probably gotten the gist of what he thinks are playable maps.
I've noticed a trend in the ones he suggests but that one hits all the bases:

bad/insufficient spawn placement, complete lack of clip brushes so you get stuck on everything, poor lighting, inconsistent scaling and bare bones architecture with halfassed ugly texturing.

I have no problem with someone doing their homework and reporting on their findings, but I wouldn't call what he's doing 'work' and his idea of reporting is more like demanding change that he can't even prove is needed.
If you aren't taking into account the playability concerns above, you're just picking maps arbitrarily and not taking into account the things that make a map 'good' for instagib (or any mod rly)

I could blindly pull names from a hat and find maps that are better suited to multiplayer insta than some of the suggestions we've seen here. In addition, I play on ts:railz more than on pretty much any other server but my own so I'd like it to not suck.

Meh, I don't see what the big deal is with adding a couple "shitty" maps just to shut one person up. All that I ask is that broke ass map that Zether made be removed from the rotation as well as mymap. As far as I can tell, it's not in the rotation anymore, but when it was, it had one particular texture that wouldn't download and it wouldn't let me connect. A few other people had this problem.

About "shitty maps":
I guess all people have different opinions about what constitutes a "shitty map". I don't like the small compact ones when it gets crowded at peak times. Like Aerowalk for example. When it's super crowded, that map can be quite annoying because the halls are so narrow and the map is so small that it's nothing but assholes and elbows bumping constantly. But when there's only 3 to 6 people at the most, it's okay.

If I could make one suggestion for a good looking well built decent sized map to be added to the rotation, it would be that one called Built For The Kill by Pan. I forget the name of the map file. It's the one that has a huge railgun in one of the enclosed rooms.
