Forgive me Father for I have sinned...

It was late, there was no-one on TV1, so I played on the Angry Old Farts server for a while.
OMG......unlimited snipers......
We were playing Donner and each team had about 7 or 8 snipers...got really annoying after a while. You couldn't move anywhere without getting hit by a sniper. Really bad idea! A fine server... but their set up was really bad, so I shall not return! (Oh and their admins stacked hehe!)

I shall say three Hail Marys, will thrash myself daily with birch twigs and will never go off with another server again....

HOW COULD YOU?

Yeah, too many snipers ruin the stew.

Well since you know our resident preacher I think you'll be alright


Sometimes I play late at night so I have to venture out into the real world of game servers. Its always an eye opener. If you got 8 sniper slots open, you are desperate to fill your server! People will do anything to get exposure.


It makes me think about source mapping as a whole. Basically Valve isnt pumping much time n effort into releasing updates and improvements. The orange maps are killing the mapping community like you would not believe. When orange maps are so popular, who wants to spend a year making a beautifully textured map when they get ignored... maps like 4 towers and all the orange maps are so user/computer friendly. The general public doesnt have the hardware to run the "textured" maps at a reasonable fps. So for now, orange/simple maps will keep going strong (as far as customs).

Big thread on orange maps over on Day of Defeat forums

But you're right.
People love the arena maps because they are small, load up very quickly and require simple computer power.

I personally don't like them as I like the idea of running through undergrowth, tunnels etc that befits a WW2 situation!

I thought I was seeing things when the orange map came on I had almost 300fps steady. Even jumped up to 500 a couple times . I think this is why CS is so popular as most maps are like that and most computers can run them. I even think my 1954 laptop could probably play that orange map...LMAO

That happens too much on tv4

I try to balance it out, but that doesn't always work.
