Has fair-play become a relic of the past?

Span · Post by **Span** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 8:16 am

It seems that there are far too many maps played these days that has ever seen the light on a public server and probably never will either. For a semi-active clan, this makes it more or less impossible to learn how to play each and every one of these. I know variation is good sometimes, but at least give us semi-actives a chance. I'm very excited about new maps and kudos to all map-makers out there, but I would love for them to be put public first, so that we can get to know them before we are thrown into the fire unprepared.

Just a humble plea.

Yeah! It's a safe loss to play versus a clan that got a "new" map as home map. You just don't know where to hide or run before they shot you in the ass. Maybe for the last 3 min you can get a small grip on the map.. But then it's just too late....

whine at the server admins

If you got a solid team it shouldnt be a problem to learn new maps.

We don't.

Last month I think we played around 7 CWs or so. When we're finally enough players to do one, we don't want to waste an oppurtunity to have fun on doing something as serious as practising maps or tactics

They said they were semi-active. I suppose you could call Quadaver semi-active too. We've played 0 matches in the past month

When we chose icity as a home map, it was after we played another team on it as their home map. It just happened to be so new that nobody played it on publics. Now it's in some rotations out there, what's the excuse for losing to us on it now?

Span has a point.

Seems like clans are desperately trying to pick maps which nobody has played just so that they can win. [RR] is one of the clans I respect the most, and others should show some respect to them and other semi-active clans aswell to make the clanwars more enjoyable for both parts.

I don't find it fun to win with +20 and I doubt others with the slightest hint of pride do either.

And that's how I like it

Played it a few times on public, gotten to like it and it's a great map. Wouldn't mind playing it in a CW

Always a pleasure to play you too, Flunx

iN has always been one of the most fair clans in the community.

I wasn't taking a swing at new maps. As I said; I'm very excited about new maps.

i think you missed my point...yours was that clans are deliberatly picking NEW maps cos people dont know them...I said that there are more old maps that people dont know

As you can see, I don't mention NEW maps in particular. I do go on to state that I'm excited about new maps later, but obviously they were never the primary focus of my text.

Why I'm not surprised this thread came out right after you played against us (cSu) :p It's your own problem if you haven't played the map before some clanwar. You don't need a public server to know the map, just look around it in offline mode or maybe even practise it with your clanmates on some server. I've never complained about playing some new map first time in a clanwar, though I've always played the map offline by myself and got some picture how it will work in a clanwar.
