Exclusive look at Newvillers 2, CoD:WW map by Paulo88!

We are joined by the executive staff over at The Company, Buster and Jag. Paulo88 as you might know is one of the best mappers in the CoD community and he has a new map coming out called Newvillers 2 - a remake of the very popular CoD2 map. Buster, did the skins and he and Jag help make sense of the new map.
Listen here.

BASH 106: Vaultcast
Craig is a very popular shoutcaster for Gamestah and I was very honored he would ask me to do his show.

We talk mostly about competitive CoD and its gradual descent here in NA the past few years. Though CoD4 has begun to run out of steam, we both hope for great things from MW2. In fact, the future of competitive CoD depends on it! Craig is a consummate broadcast professional and the program moves along at a breakneck pace.
Listen here.

BASH 107: Nabore
For some like myself, the thought of a professional NA CoD season without Joe Amorosa (aka Nabore) at the helm of the perennial favorites Team Pandemic is unthinkable. Yet here we are. When Nabore took me aside the other day to let me know he officially was turning in his M16, it was not unexpected but still a shock. In today’s podcast Nabore tells us the reasons behind his decision.

Another shell-shocker in this podcast is that, not only is Joe leaving, he let’s it out that his Pandemic-teammate and good friend Justin DeMara, aka prank`, arguably the best sniper to have ever played any CoD game, is also calling it quits.

We asked Nabore all the obvious questions regarding his career and threw in some curves as well. The podcast is compelling and emotional.

If you love CoD competitive play, chances are you have seen Nabore in action. Have a listen and bid this champion adieu.

The Newvillers 2 map looks amazing! Check out Paulo88's site for more info on that awesome looking map that will be coming out soon for CoD:WW.

The cool part of the miniBASH Newvillers cast, is that they mentioned that they are now able to skin uniforms for the different teams. Many of the German classes on that map will be either in the all-Black SS uniforms, or the "Evergreen"-camo of the mountain soldiers. USMC will still have their basic colours, but will also be modified a bit for variety.

The map itself, also shown in the cast, looks really nice too. Not surprising, considering Paulo88 made several excellent maps for COD4 as well.

Looking forward to trying it out.

It is definitely going to be a sweet map. That map looks uber professional and the skins is just another added bonus!

Can't believe Nabore and Prank are leaving, that's a bad sign

It's unfortunate, but it's almost inevitable as people get older. Once you start talking about going to college/univ, working more, getting married/having kids, etc, etc...you'll find that time is your most precious commodity, and gaming takes a backseat. I'm impressed that Nabore recognized that if he wanted to do well in school, he would have to put hardcore competitive gaming on the backburner.

And, games are cyclical too...CS is a strange beast (for many reasons) that keeps a lot of people playing it, but most people will get bored of anything eventually, even if they're good at it.

Listen to the podcast in full if you haven't already done so. Nabore is pretty insightful, IMO, about the coming and going of good players, and the next stars to emerge with the coming of new games.

Actually, I didn't even think of that. I assumed the skins just weren't done yet and couldn't be shown.

I listened to about 20 minutes of it earlier before I had to leave, and I did agree with a lot of what he had to say. It's just sad to see such iconic figures leaving the game - I mean, it's been happening for a while, EG split up, luckerr left CoD4 a while back, and now nabore and prank are leaving.

But I do agree with you, there are much more important things to do and it's nice to see that he had the maturity to take control of his life.
