CAL-i/Narby Updates

[CSN NewsBot]

Last night, 3D beat WEW to win CAL-i Season 7. Today, Frank Nuccio and CAL have begun planning for the future. Firstly is the requirement that all CAL-i teams have a minimum of 7 players on their roster at all times. This shouldn't be a problem for too many teams.



More important to most CAL teams is the changes to de_clan2_fire by narby. In addition, narby will be providing another clan series map for preseason play (presumably if it doesn't suck it'll be added to the CAL-i and CPL maplist). I have a very strong feeling that this is the legendary de_comrade, which was named by this very site in a contest. Narby hasn't told me if the map is comrade or not, but I suggested he considering using comrade as a clan map just a few weeks ago.



In narby related news, Quarry, the map we've seen since the first hours, is beginning to take shape. I have a hunch that you Steam BETA testers will be able to test out this map soon enough.

Quarry looks to be a good map. It has lots of space in it so you have lots of open space to roam, perfect for a large amount of players pub.

ooooo



us Steam beta testers???



How soon?



Narby? -- care to make a comment?

[Spoonman]

de_comrade looks to be ownage. If CAL has any common sense they would put this map into league play immediately. Of course, CAL and common sense in the same sentence is probably a contradiction of sorts.

[HobblinHarry]

de_clan3_comdrade eh? That would be pretty cool. And if de_quarry made it in time for CS1.6 - holy crap, thats a lot of stuff done by narby just for CS1.6.



And whats this about clan2_fire changes? Where can I get the new map?

[LOCK|DOWN]

outside of quarry still looks too grey, but that's probably just the temp textures and lighting, cant wait till its finished!

[Ghengis]

Sweet, wonder if moving belts, wioll vbe likeladders, for aim, and will the sheild be effective on em?

Aim doesn't change when you're on a conveyor, it's not like being on a ladder.

I'm pretty sure it will be comrade :) I think CAL players will like it, it's good for matches.

Once I played comrade, it's ok..

Sadly it won't be too popular, because it's not in the 'CPL mapcycle'(rename it to de_clan3_comrade! :P), and not fun as iceworld.

Narby I tried a version of comrade that someone sent me, not sure if it was your final product and I must say i thought It played great in small and large games. I've played it since on several servers and I think it brings the same kind of strategy or working together that the Mill and Fire bring. You really should convince CPL to accept it as a CPL map cause that would really help with the circulation since it is about 5mbs total.
