Hey guys,

We may be taking a bit of a look at the current map list, and maps that could be added/removed.

Array and Nuketown will not be considered as they are too big/small and not really viable. However Cracked and Launch are two possibilities.

Launch was (i believe) originally discarded because of the rocket launch, that is now gone in the mod, and so is no longer an issue. Cracked I am not sure of at all, and am yet to try scrims on it.

So please give me, in a good, constructive manner if you think Launch and/or Cracked should be added in, and most importantly why.

Also feel free to vent your frustrations with any current maps that you believe should be removed for whatever reason.

Remember that now we have mod tools, it certainly opens up many more opportunities for us (as shown above with the launch example).

Cracked has too many spots to hide and is so small that the attacking team can rush and plant instantly, launch should be reconcidered decent map.

If possible, introduce the option of custom maps.

I personally think Launch will be a good cg map, But i think Cracked ( this is a bit biased, since i hate the map) is too big for 5v5 and also quite unbalanced.

The spawn in cracked is imbalanced. The bombs are not very well placed, allowing defenders to hide in windows etc and cover bombs very easily. Well timed nades will destroy on this map.

Launched is decent, but again well timed nades will be very op. and the bomb sites are both very open. But still could work for teams that have no clue

I suppose the other option is to consolidate maps down into only 5.

Thats how CS:S and cod4 work, the two most popular and successful FPS ladders. It gives people the opportunity to become good at all maps, and to know each map inside and out, but it also waters the game down quite a bit, and will certainly make it extremely bland to play.

I personally think we should keep the current map list + add launch, as noone seems to have anything bad to say about it.

You rarely see people scrim / play Crisis, Jungle, Radiation and WMD anyways, that's a 3rd of the total stock maps (give or take, not including 3 maps out of cg) . This is a big issue.

Make a poll, before you do anything rash. As much as you think its a good idea. People haven't thought about it. One of the bomb sits is in the defence teams spawn. Balanced much?

Ability to take away a rocket from a map but you can't add things?

I believe they stopped the launch event from triggering, not removing the entire rocket.
