Not enuff people play the beautiful maps, if they did, i suspect that they woud eventually be appreceiated more. Piranesi si a fantasstic map. Torn is too, lovely trexes, and I have never had excessive problewms with fps. I guess i have been lucky.

However quarry looks to be wicked, I imagione a shooting range a t the fair potd, when the conveyors are ready

but de_torn's layout itself is horrible! so goddamnit big! plus, it's 30fps ugliness!

I'm writing something at the moment for my site, part of it compares Aztec's layout to Torn. I drew out the routes for each, and whereas Aztec is ridiculously simple, Torn is just a spider web of little alley ways and so on. The difference is incredible.



And I didn't even have the time to finish drawing all of Torn's routes!

Nah, it's all about the sunlight. The more sunlight a map has, the more popular it is. Sunlight = happy and people like to be happy and so sunny levels do it for them.



This is not at all related to the fact I'm petrified of the dark. No, nothing. Not at all. Never.

So a complex map with lots of sunlight is more popular?

I uhh, meant my comment in addendum to yours. That's it. Hence, mathematically, we get the famous "4 'S's rule":



Simple + Safe + Sunny = Super!



I need to write that down somewhere...

Sounds about right :)

Just wait till CSCentral Map pack 2 when Shogun, Downtown, Greenhouse and IndustryWest DESTROY ALL OFFICIAL MAPS, AND ANYTHING ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.



And then when you play laguna.... you will give up official maps, give up stupid dm/fy maps, and you will see what CS is all about. When the pack comes out I reckon it will (definately deserves to) have 100s of servers dedicated to it and the maps become just as popular as most crappy official ones.



Long live the communitys maps!

i just played shogun today on a full server and it was awsome



one of the mose impressive maps ive seen for a while



puts the nolf2 oriental maps to shame

[doink]

It makes the old one look like fy_iceworld!
