Ideas?  my videos:  | ||

Rocket/Sticky Humping for Fun and Profit since 2008 Registered Member #1570 Joined: Fri Dec 26 08, 11:43AMPosts: 1068 | All on - pl_Frontier : We had it on one of the servers briefly. Big payload map, Moggie seemed to enjoy it, but seemed to get lost in the new server creation. - pl_Bounce : NSA Froggie built this map. Moggie was keen to test this out a while back, but again seems to have been lost in all the other stuff that has been done. - pl_Cashworks : Another big map, but I played it a good bit before I found UKMD. - ctf_aerospace : Played this a couple of Fight Nights (used to be on the old 2Fort server). Loads of fun and plenty of high places to plummet to your death.  | ||

Registered Member #1178 Joined: Sat Jul 12 08, 10:32AMPosts: 848 | I think would should start with the ones we have play before - aerospace , warpath etc... and then organise some play testing for the new ones e.g. no mercy too see if they actually work | ||

So I'd vote for this one ... and, afaik I know from some videos, the 'better' players do play on it as well, I suppose that means the map can't be too bad  | ||

Babs Registered Member #1856 Joined: Wed Apr 08 09, 02:54PMYour Location: Bristol Posts: 88 | Great idea, I've been wanting to have a good game on some custom maps for a long time These are just a few of the maps for which I could find flythroughs, they all look pretty sweet. pl_cashworks - A nice change of scenery, desert is getting way boring pl_halfacre - Focuses on wide open spaces and less chokepoints, al la Badwater pl_borax - Similar to halfacre cp_furnace - 3 point Attack/Defend, like Gravelpit I've heard that Furnace Creek is very good, and it does look pretty with the custom sky. Cashworks is a bit long, but I've played it a few times and it is a very nice map. Not played Borax or Halfacre but I think anything with a Badwater style design (lots of alternative routes) should be great [ Edited Fri Jul 24 09, 11:57PM ]   | ||

 Registered Member #1643 Joined: Wed Jan 21 09, 09:25PMPosts: 36 | hey, i suggest you might take a look at dm_crossfire http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/62970 there is nothing much to do in there then just killing each other but the bunker and the nuke make it special - worth a look for all hl1dm&tfc veterans. pl_bounce_beta8 will be released very soon and i am just thinking about redesigning the area around the last CP. Any other changes i had in mind are already been done and I must say it already plays better and more comfortible than any version before. cheers, JC aka FR065T3R | ||

| william Registered Member #288 Joined: Mon Jul 23 07, 10:28AMYour Location: Scotland Posts: 5107 | there is a PL map based on the Meet the Sniper video that is on FPS (cant recall the name, catch me on steam if you need it). did pass it onto moggie but he didnt get a chance to look. think of hoodoo but one big long track rather than 3 maps. tons of space and parts of the map will suit all classes. would be a good fightnight map, not seen any servers with it on so dont know how it plays with a full server. if you like hoodoo and badwater, i think you will like this. And i KNOW you lot like hoodoo/Badwater its a shame that tf2 cannot support more than 30ish players as this map has scope to give 50 or 60 players the space to play. pl_railroad b5 is the name of the map download have a run around. download from scrub that, now on version b7 nighttime gravelpit looks nice downloaded some others so will have a look [ Edited Mon Jul 27 09, 07:11PM ] | ||

.ukMandown. Registered Member #1816 Joined: Fri Mar 20 09, 12:27PMYour Location: Scotland Posts: 767 | I say pick youre favorite 10 Jim and load them up for a night. The ones that fail, remove. The ones ppl like, Keep. One night a week can be a custom map test night. Plenty of ppl are up for that. It doesnt even need to be on a main fightnight. After a while we will build up a good catalogue of custom maps. While in the process attracting noobs with another awesome night from UKMD. Everyone wins. show a homie some love.   | ||
