New Maps for Wednesday Night

[Masakari]

Just want to throw some ideas out here for what maps we want to give a shot on Wednesday.

Flobee suggested

PL_Deadwood - http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/110045

A single stage payload map, with 5 points. Seems pretty decent. Maybe we could try this for a bit instead of PL_Outback?

CP_Sawblades - http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/109652

A nice looking 5CP map. Could replace the almost universally unpopular CP_Indulge.

PL_Pharoah - http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=9198

Egyptian payload. Yes it's another payload map, but it's at least something *visually* different.

CP_Saints - http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/109863

5CP map in an alpine theme. Don't know what else I can say about this map...not a lot of de.scription was given.

Anyone else seen any interesting maps recently that we can give a shot?

Those look good. I'm going to throw some KotH maps on 10 in case we want to check those out for TV14 or something.

Why don't we have a public KOTH custom fun night on Thursday? Not passworded, just a night where we all join that server and try out some of the custom KOTH maps?

So it doesn't look like any of these stood out judging by lack of feedback. Saints with faster respawns looks promising, Sawblades was pretty dull and the two payloads weren't great. What do you think?

Hmmm, I dont think I got to see the maps last Wednesday so I cant comment. I dont feel Zig is that great of a PL map, the crystal portions are very laggy IMHO.

Also, I wasnt fond of any of the KOTH maps on Thursday....mind you I think I am not fond of the KOTH concept in general..... Its pretty much the same as a battle for the middle point on a CP map, except with nobody moving forward.....
