How bout all those maps people love to hate including Dreamus . Dreamus 2. House Bitchslap ,. Chain , Air Marz , Raptor Skies, Death Dome .
Maybe scale back the Server Size so it would handle some of those other maps we have tried that didn't work out because they would not handle a 32 person load. Therz some great other spam maps out there that just won't handle 32 peeps.
Whatever happened to Cain's Lair? I loved that server like a brother. Why not put the server in.. FLORIDA! Tourist capital o' da world! Besides Hawaii... anyway.. I usually have good pings on all your servers, I haven't looked recently but I think I get around 40 pings-ish. You guys need a DM server. That would KICK ASS. And here's a thought... a server that cycled between Dreamus, Dreamus2, Spiffingrad, and Urban! AWESOME! That's all my favorite maps one after the other! Just no Torlan.. bleh.

To be honest there are a lot of really good maps out there that I wish we had on the server but don't because they're not designed for 32p. But then again, neither are maps like Aridoom or Dreamus. Fact is I'm getting a bit tired of our rotation and we need some fresh blood. Even if a map doesn't play well with defaults the node setup or weapon/vehicle loadouts can be changed without too much trouble. (I'd even be willing to do structural changes to maps as long as someone okayed it with the original mapmaker.)
The problem is there are not too many new maps coming out for a two year old game. Of those maps, maybe 10% are ok for 32p, and of those, I would say only 10% are good "out of the box" and don't need work of some sort. As it is, we really stretch the definition of "appropriate" for 32p. We run some maps which shouldn't be here.
I could throw up 20 or 30 REALLY crappy maps just to get variety, but would that make you guys happy? If it would, I'll do it, but I don't think it would in the long run.
I'll be happy to work with any mapper, and do whatever it takes to make maps appropriate for 32p. That's what I've been doing with Wraith. We haven't been getting permission from all of the mappers, but primarily we are only optimizing, and not making any real changes to the map itself.
If you have any initial suggestions, I'm all ears. I can go back through my rejected list and see if there's anything salvagable with some modifications to the map itself.
Throw some miniguns in ChainIsle2Beta, at the middle nodes. For some reason, I and a few other people just get the feeling that those nodes should have miniguns, but don't. I want my minigun! :p

I agree with Purity, maybe you could add Tank Wars, I've played in other servers and it's cool. I don't know if you had DoomofDeath in this server before but I think (just my opinnion) that it's a crazy and fun map.
I think we should take this request to the right departmen... to Maps Forum he he...
:rr: :evil3:
DomeOfDoom? Yeah, we used to have it, way back in the early days (I think it was here) and I keep telling him to put it back. Come on...who doesn't want Spambox with ion painters? :p
