    Not to rain on your parade, DaveJ, but I think either 2Forts or 4forts have been played more than dust, just due to the amount of time they've been out for.



    I miss 4Forts *cries*

      I feel that I should throw in some british-sounding stuff, since 3 brits have already posted on here, so I'll quote from my role of Noah Claypole in the musical Oliver! (Opening night is may the 9th, if you live in georgia, come see me in the show, i'll sign an autograph or something):



      "I'll wop you one when I get in, you just see if I don't, you lil workouse brat!!"



      "My muther, he says...she was a nice un, she was...well, it can't be helped now, and of course, it couldn't be helped then, but yer must know, workhouse, that your mother was a regular right-down badun."



      That, my friends, is dickens.



      bloody bloody my dear.

            I'd like to believe that, but I don't :)



            Certainly, 2fortX [generic term for the various 2forts - 2fort4, 2fort 5] was played a lot when QW ruled, but it certainly didn't reach a point that at any one time there were 3000+ people playing it. Dust moves between 5000 and 15000 throughout the week (last time I checked).



            And CS has had better exposure than TF, and hence a larger userbase.



            But... 2fortX has been around longer... it's difficult to say if it has beaten Dust, but I doubt it. 2fort in TFC helped out a lot, but I dare say Dust still beat it.



            It's a shame. I really like 2forts (what's 4forts?!), and TFC in general (more than CS).

                I won't have ADSL. Think we have cable though (can't actually remember - I'll say not to avoid disappointment). I consider Sky and Cable to be more akin to the 'working class'. (but that's just cos I'm jealous)



                Besides, in a house with 3 other people - 3 medics (one female) - I doubt there'll be any need for ADSL. I like the benefits of not having always-on internet connectivity. It saves lives.

                    Never use any of them, it's fun, believe me.
                    Erm, was that 2nd to last one supposed to be the Colt M1A4, or the Benelli M3 Super90? :P I'll guess he meant the Colt. Uh oh, is it really the M4A1 and I'm just crazy???



                    In an attempt to make this not a useless nitpicky post, I'll say something in defense of de_dust. Its a fun map, good balance, and I love to play it in the winter because it tricks me into thinking I'm living out in the desert where it is hot.

                      Deserts are hot? Winter is not? Who let the dog shave himself?

                        3. I have the unfortunate ability to create 'formula' maps like Dust with minimal planning that play well, and the inability to make original and fresh maps with equal gameplay.
                        A good point. Yet, it seems that many of my favorite "fresh and original" maps don't get played much since the gameplay is very spotty.

                        cs_zoption comes to mind: Great map, amazing detail and design (even with basic HL textures), but the gameplay was just too campy for most players.

                          Since you're obviously a much better mapper than anyone in the world why don't you stop relyingon your 8 year old pathetic retors and immature little rants because you go 0-15 on every game you play. Learn to show a little respect for the people who work very hard on your behalf you whiny little troll.

                            Yoo, who the hell cares about visual shi*t? You want a cool visual

                            game? Go play Serious Sam or BattleRealm.They gives more visual ,lack in game play.So you wanna balance sh*t? TANK and other

                            "sniper" sh*t map gives ya "pretty well" balance!Pal!



                            p/s: By the way, siege and assault is quit suck, IMHO.

                                Had Dust been any bigger, it would not have been any better. I have an overhead view of Dust stuck on a wall next to my monitor (and Dust 2, in fact), and I can see how else it could be made. Any bigger and it would not have worked.



                                Dust 2 I can see went a little over the top in the complexity. It's max dimensions are actually less than Dust, but its more integrated. Much more complex. Dust 2 is a little too small and too tight.
