New maps for 3FL surf servers

Unread postby Remy Lebeau » 8 Aug 12, 5:07 pm

Ok,

I was just in server #13, and there are bugger all maps on the server... It REALLY needs more maps.

So, I'm going to get the guys to suggest maps in this thread, and will then collate a list of the good ones. If no one suggests anything, I'll go find some :)

The current list is:
surf_10x_reload_tf2
surf_air_arena_v3
surf_buck-ed_up_tf2
surf_buck-wild_tf2
surf_ctf_velocity_tf2_v1
surf_greatriver
surf_insanity_tf2
surf_revolution_v1
surf_thrill3r_tf2


Suggest away!

My ideas:

remove revolution

Add legends, japan, akai, the gloaming.

surf_japan_v8

Definately would be good if Utopia was added. Maybe Fruits as well but I don't know if that would be suited to the people who play on the server.

Good suggestions so far.

Hodos - I don't think we'll put fruits on ... Skill surf maps like that I think would be way too hard for the general surfing population.

Why bother removing them when they're on my list of things to re-create?
Revolution is a good combat map, but the capture point ruins it, my answer is to just take out the capture point, same goes for Velocity. And then with a combined jail and a few combat spots the map is offically playable.

Frankly server 13 and 2 have had the exact same rotation for as long as I can remember playing then, and to be honest it adds it's own charm to the mix. It's a server that's not weight down by mods and has a really good map list despite the screwballs in the mix.

Having played on 3FL for around a year now I'm able to see what exactly was the issue with these maps, and customize them to suit the kind of people who play on 3fl.

People have request more maps for some time, but then sometimes you get the issue other surf serves have where the run is too hard for the majority, and the map gets rtv'ed before the pros can finish it.

So frankly stick with the current rotation, I'll be doing revolution and Velocity next since they're the most broken, then insanity.

edit: Another thing to note is that 3fl uses combat based maps, The gloaming and other types of maps are more surf orintated, so they get rtved easily when people can't do them

I appreciate your points deathrix, and maybe it is the fact that I'm used to servers with a decent mix between combat and surf maps.

My experience with the server is fairly limited, so maybe you're right, however in the time I played there pretty much EVERYONE was very strongly supportive of putting a few new maps on.

At the very least I'd suggest we get legends, akai and japan on there... They are still conducive to combat surfing, but also provide some better surf than what's currently on there - without being inordinately difficult.

edit: I also think it's counter productive to not put maps on because they have slightly harder surf sections than just a basic ramp down into the middle... without getting pushed a bit ppl won't ever get better. If it hadn't been for a desire to make it to legends, I'd have never gotten decent at surfing.

For Mug:

Maps I consider worth adding (they have some nice surf sections, as well as a decent fighting area / jail):

surf_legends_lite_t30
surf_akai_f1n4l
surf_tf_japan_v1
surf_1930s
surf_codeprotected_v2
surf_crzyfrog_reloaded

Download file (all the maps are in here): http://www.4shared.com/zip/iCpIEIlo/Surf_Maps.html?

Deathtrix: Mug has told me that your updated maps are now on the server!
