Thanks

Serveral people attempted to download aztec_c during a private playtest a few days ago and were kicked from the server. Those who reconnected were banned without getting the hint. A day later Gpig20 voted the map into rotation knowing it was not for public release yet. In his words: ``we had a 2vs2 with it''.

I'm now getting 40-50 emails a day asking why X Y and Z are changed and not fixed because the map was not ready for release.



Well here's the answer. Impatient jackasses spread the map around without any thoughts as to what a closed playtest is. The map is UNFINISHED It's INCOMPLETE It's NOT DONE and In future we just won't hold any form of public playtests.



Special thanks to dop^kick for spamming it on IRC. Thanks a lot fellas, good job.

[biff`]

it's not even DONE YET as you had said narby

but why are all these fucking retards without a clue ruining the private playtests for you and your digipals by doing such a thing



a big fuck you to Gpig20



the map looks GREAT from the screenshots i've seen posted on CS-Nation and I can't wait to play it upon release.



also, when is 1.6 set to be released?

BTW narb, the map is nicely improved. A lot more balanced. I actually somewhat enjoyed playing on the map.



Did you ever consider narby that by letting better players play the map some useful advice might actually come out of it? CAL-I players could make a lot different suggestions than pub-only/OGL/CAL-O.

BTW you could also answer my PMs sometime on IRC.

come on let the guy do the testing he needs...if he doesn't want public testing by more players it's because it's not ready yet...simple really.



why would u want to play a pre-beta/alpha type map that is likely to have more bugs than the original map at this stage...just wait for 1.6 or he makes it pub.

They get it when it's ready to be tested. This version has big flaws (such as the CT side double doors being flipped around). This give people a wrong impression and get pissed off having to explain to 500 different people why.

The map played a lot different with better players. I'm sure you could use some of their input and save you two or three map compiles.

[narby]

you're missing the point.



It's not ready to be tested. There are too many issues that break the map for it to be tested at this time.

[alikzam13]

yea, the map is leaked. And the biggest flaw right now is the CT's being able to make it to the T's bridge room before the Ts do. I think the map should become a little less CT biased tho. If the T's could make it into the DD before the Ct's it wouldn't be so biased. But yea, whatever. I'll sit on my hands and wait.

Hey ,

If you want the maps taken out of the pack, I will do so. Like I said, it just so happened I got a copy of them while in the middle of making our pack to play on our servers. I did a search on gametiger, and got back 20 servers playing the map (this was at 10am). I made it clear they were beta maps, and nothing to judge on. We play beta versions of maps all the time, and if I had known it was going to be such a big deal, I wouldnt have included it in our pack.

It's a bit late don't you think? You should've asked him first.
