piranesi sucks, i am god

Yes, well, it doesn't matter what you say, because you made Aztec and that is a sweet map.



I wish someone would 747 better though. Maybe make it assassination or something. That is a sweet map.

So sad that you think dust requires no team play. (Not Rizz that other idiot)

Ok, first of all, I've come to learn that asskissing around here is like blinking or breathing; it's involuntary and necessary. So fogerabaurit.

aha...haha..hahahah



....ha.

how come no one like piranesi? i do. i havent played a 5 on 5 on it yet though, and ill admit it might be a bit complex. also ive only learned the map from terror side pretty much. oh yea pigeon dont go around telling people they suck. and get mirc.

Dust is so popular cause its simple and you always know where the other team could be coming from. DaveJ clearly focused *alot* on the gameplay of this map. And thats something I learned when making maps. Compare dust to dust2. Dust2 is much more complicated and less poplular. DaveJ even mentioned dust2 is complicted in an interview too.

I pretty much agree with narby on everything. The map is beautiful looking, one of the best (if not the) looking maps in counter-strike. However, it is a huge T map. The first time I ever played it, I was a T and loved it because we were constantly winning and sniping from the top of the castle was one of the funnest things ever. Then I played it a different time as a CT and got murdered ever round from someone unknown area.

dusts gameplay is great for public servers while dust2's gameplay is great for matches (i like it for pubs too =p)

HAAHA! dust2! what a joke!

[osiris_d32001]

Dust2 is a great map for all kind of play...

Oh! btw! Any of you hear about America's Army? Going gold next month.



Going to be great. Not sure if it might replace CS for me or not. And this is saying a lot since I've been playign CS longer than I can remember (beta 3.0 era).



Oh! And it's being developed by the U.S. Army. But, they even admit it's shameless propaganda ;-). But, hey, if the Army's making it, and using our millions of tax money going to advertising for military recruitment - it's hopefully going to be good!



Check it out - www.americasarmy.com



(and yes, I know, it's just a *little* off-topic)

Unfortunately, those who pre-ordered the game will be drafted into the Army, guaranteed. I've learned this information from one of rizzuh's friend. I'm scared, I don't want to die.

Delirium what cal-I clan servers are there? If I can find one where I get 50 ping(it's my typical ping but I have 5 CS servers called TFZ 1-5 that I get 20 ping in with my cable modem :)).

[oReiLLZ]

I don't see how you can pre-order America's Army. Isn't it just a free promotion tool that we can all get for free?

I agree with Riz - I hate just about every map put out after 1.0.



CS mapping has completely lost its way. WAY too much fighting in open vistas. Where's the close-quarters, room-to-room combat? Why doesn't anyone make a decent house-storming map anymore? Fighting someone in the next room is way more exciting than trying to shoot them from across the map with 2-round AK bursts.



Oh yeah, they should bring back 1.3 aiming. I don't know what the fuck Gooseman's injecting but I think he's lost it. "I know, I'll make it so the bullets NEVER go where the player's aiming! It'll be more realistic and all the gamers are sure to love it!"
