Contest Maps Discussion

[Jaffa]

Atix was on the servers last night, checking out how his and others maps were running, i think its probably a good thing to have a feedback thread on the new maps. The new maps i am assuming are: Atix_Panic (by Atix), Escape_black_lion (by Macd), Trap_escape (by Desmond) and Starship_troopers (by SDtielvdeo). Also, Insane_maze (by Hank) which apparently crashed the server when played

I'll give my first impressions in a few hours, if i haven't jumped Haggard's gun by posting this thread and it gets deleted :P

EDIT: by haggard
Please list the pros and cons for the maps you have played and which is your favorite map. This is not a poll we just want your opinions to help the panel of judges decide.

on that Trap map, it fine for a few rounds but later everytime I get past the "garage gate" portal, the game crashes and get a "CutlLinkedList Overflow!" error.

[Jaffa]

yeah at one point yesterday half the server was getting kicked because of that...

[RapBert]

Atix_panic is a really good map. Escape_black_lion is great. I just love this map. Starship troopers is also very good, but there are some glitches in the trains. Trap_escape: I really hate this map. It's very good designed, but I really hate it. This map has ruined my stats on the escape server. If you play it long enough, you know what to do but when you die at the same place everytime it's not longer funny. I've never played Insane_maze, what is this map like ? Hopefully not like trap escape...

I really like starship troopers, it just needs to be ironed out. As for trap escape...that map can go to hell. I mean, It's well designed and all but holy crap is it just too hard. Sure you can learn the way and everything but even then sometimes you need pure luck to not get caught by at least one thing. It's also not noob friendly at all and would make a lot of people mad, causing them to leave the server and maybe not come back for fear of getting pwned every two seconds by the trap map. Not to mention nobody even plays the game. Most people die a minute in then its one or two people trying to make it to the end. If i wanted to play die in a minute then spectate two guys running around a maze forever not ending the round I'd find a server named that and not our escape server.

Lmfao, I loved this because it's so true.

Chances are you wont be able to play it, crashes half the people who try to play. And it's pretty bad, no offense to Hank; but it isn't very playable at all.

I think trap escape is a great map. I know the route to escape, and can do so, but the thing i like best about it is that all the players always band together to try and escape, not caring about the zombie. I have never seen anyone being a dick and blocking others, or mic spamming on this map, which is something i don't usually see when playing

Exactly my point. It's stupid. If you want to escape from it, then do it on your own.

[Jaffa]

i'm saying that i like the map most because evryone bands together so as many people can try and escape as possible, and be lead through the traps by those who know where to go. It feels much more like an escape map than the others, as its not a "screw over the rest of your team" map
