Keep in mind that we have VIP slots on all UKCS servers
(See my sig for more info)

[dcs]

How's the testing going? Whats everyone opinions on the maps and what maps are they? I go to an evening college course every wednesday so missed it all lol

[S t e f f |DK| |UKCS|]

Here are the maps we tested:

de_sultan2
cs_kismayo
de_cambodia_b5
de_mirage_go
de_piranesi
de_wetwood

What do you think?

[SpAZzY]

Great fun ;D
I was only around for westwood, poolday and that map with lots of smaller maps, all great fun, thanks admin folk ;P

[Dauntless]

I will put some more details stuff later but as a starter...

de_sultan2 - Loved it! 100% needs to be on the new map rotation
cs_kismayo - I dont like this map, It wouldn't bother me if it turned up in the rotation though
de_cambodia_b5 - Very fun map, liked it alot.
de_mirage_go - Nice to see this one back, nice conversion to GO.
de_piranesi - Old classic, still fun and a new dimension to molotov combat.
de_wetwood - Had to go so only saw 2 rounds, not overly keen but need to personally test it more.

My top 3 - Sultan2, Cambodia and Mirage

[Shuriken]

Cambodia looked really nice for the 10 minutes I was on there, didn't see any overwhelming imbalance and it looks pretty. Plus I shot Marter in the face. In the face Marter. In the face.

FACE!

[dcs]

Would the agreed maps be on both servers or just #2?

Some of the maps that will be tested are fun maps, and most of them wont go on any of the current server, but more likely going to be used for Fun Events or perhaps for a fun server

But the maps we tested last night are suitable for the current servers

[Seraphina]

First of all, I loved map test night. Was a lot of fun! We need more of these kind of events
Now for the maps

de_sultan2 - like this one, should go on rotation
cs_kismayo - definitely not my kinda map. It felt huge and confusing to me for some reason.
de_cambodia_b5 - liked it and it was pretty too
de_mirage_go - got nothing bad to say about the map, wouldn't mind it being on the server
de_piranesi - always disliked this map and always will but knowing most people like it, I guess it'll still end up on the server
de_wetwood - unfortunately I had to leave for some beauty sleep, so didn't get to play this one

Can we have scoutzknivez as well please?

[Dauntless]

Did anyone count how many times we heard the words "its not westwood, its wetwood, it's better!"

[Aerodynamic]

First i wanne thank steff for running this maptest woop woop for you

I think the quality of the server will go up alot if we get rid of the offical maps they are made for max. 10-15 players imo, not enough chokepoints, people will get annoyed due to passive play, the maps that were tested had more space for alternative routes witch brings more balace to the teams and more fun to play with a bigger bunch.

I rated the maps as requested

de_sultan2 9
cs_kismayo forgot the map :[
de_cambodia_b5 7
de_mirage_go 8
de_piranesi 7
de_wetwood 6

[Seraphina]

Nooo, don't get rid of the standard maps, playing them all the time may be boring but playing them sometimes is still fun....well except for Aztec

[dcs]

Agreed don't get rid of the original maps, add to them, yes but like Steff said even a fun server perhaps, that way you c an take the original maps off at a push if you want Depends on how many custom maps are out there

[Love Muffin]

We might end up having different maps on different servers.

UKCS CS:GO is going to be where its at

[Tsenister]

Out of all the maps that really stood out to me as being fun/flavourful was de_cambodia. Standard 3 routes that when I tried all seemed to have rushing possibilities because of the Molotov/smokes but didn't really get to test if defenders had enough spots to counter or if over time it'll lead to a T spawn camping regime.

De_wetwood I also liked very much in terms of how the map had been opened up. I really did not like the fact that you couldn't go through that bar area. It seemed to me that if T smoked the entrance to that bar and climbed through that they'd have another way of getting to bombsite A.

Cheers to the admins for hosting it was great fun!
