Worst Map Ever
« on: July 11, 2008, 01:16:28 PM »
A few of us were talking on Vanilla today and this topic came up. Funny how some "bad" maps turn out be other's favorites. I mean, if its clear its a stinker, you would think others would be neutral about it, at best.

I have many but I'll just choose 2:

Space gun up is FUN,    grab rail and hang out by red armor. 
You can get just about every path/spawn from there going between left and right of the gun.

A few of us were talking on Vanilla today

lol? had a little chat did you

iv played a large number of quake2 maps in my day
i cant even remember the names of all that were bad

but, i would define a bad map as one that does not play well with others and/or has noticeable map errors
there are few that spawn you outside the map for example

In my 8 years of playing QII, I really have to say the WME is SPACE, i never really liked it and all. Ugh!  :mrdead:  As for the Big Space Gun, I really got used to camp in the barrel and zap anyone with the BFG, lol

Other maps I hate:  Hanger2, Boss1, Base1, the LAB and all the Mines.

Anyways, I'm gonna jump to WOD-X and launch a few MIRVs :beer:

Haha... Those are some maps I really enjoy, particularly hangar2, lab, and most of the mines... (including mintro :)).

boss1 is fun because of the jump to get outside the rail area and high up on the overhead structure... :D

lab is fun because of killing tunnel campers with grenades, and the option to shut down the bfg... :)

I'm not particularly fond of city2, city3, fact3 ... space and train I can take or leave... :dohdohdoh:

(Actually, when fact3 is on, I do enjoy trying to dunk would-be quadders into the lava!)

any map on vanilla that isn't a stock quake 2 map.

Every stupid thing I do, Jagermonsta tells me to   --  meaning i fully agree

It is a complicated problem.  I see most of the regular vanilla players almost completely stop playing – or stop trying to play –just suffering through most of the third party maps.

Tastydm2, slideways,wtf!2,bigspacegunup,koth1,koth6 and ztn2dm2 all are run away victories by just a few players usually while the rest of the players just camp or lay down. The rest of the third party maps are boring ( like train or space such as ranbase2,outpost) or frenetic (like biggun or fact3 such as stellar, grunt) both types my grandmother could possibly win blindfolded. Either of these scenarios offers little for the now uncaring core vanilla player it seems to me.  The only exception I see is the well architected campcity – a fine vanilla addition that most participate in like strike or city1.  Personally I like the frenetic maps it gives everyone the easy ability to get some frags but if too many are in it is stupid.

The dm maps on vanilla are just as bad and also usually result in most disconnecting.

But the worst are truly space, train, sewer64, fusion and hub – although more logically paced and designed for more players they result in banality which is always proven by the player number dwindling down to a negligible sum every time.

But it is a catch-22, all those maps people love and others hate    and where vanilla once was without all that   it now could not be vanilla without it.

I would still like to voice an opinion to lower the player limit on vanilla and dm and try to propagate those players to vanilla2 and dm2 think of the possibilities for all.

I like Fact3.  BigspaceGunUp is okay, not great.  I think the worst map ever is space  :zzz:.  It can ruin the flow.  I've seen the server go from over 15 ppl down to 3 or 4 when space comes up.

Oops!  I apparently have two different accounts here.  The one that shows me as b0b.Ds is old.  If a server admin is watching, that one can be deleted if possible.  Or is there a way I can delete it?

I have no doubt, and  have no problem playing against them, but I am so tired of koth maps, big space gun and wtf!
I am especially tired of that map ( I don't know the name) that has the two blue laser beams protecting the quad before the teleport!
