Aim_Arena released

[tspoon1066]

I like aim maps, they are good for when you can't be bothered to play a sensible map because u keep gettin pwned, so u go onto an aim map server to prey on the lil nubs who have overflowed from UT style games.



<--------------No I don't! please forgive me!

Are you saying all people who play UT are 'nubs', or that just the people who have stopped playing UT and gone into CS (e.g. me) are 'nubs'? I'm confused (though to be honest it's not hard to confuse me).



Anyway, to stay roughly on topic, anyone know of any actually good aim_ maps? They're all basically the same - either a few crates or walls, with the same few guns (and I'm so tired of AK+Colt maps, Colts always win in AK Vs Colt regardless of the map, and on mixed maps people with Colts always do better then the unlucky ones that pick up that good old empty-AK-that-seems-to-always-be-there-infront-
of-you-when-you-need-ammo-the-most) - anyone know if there are any that are fairly decent (i.e. abit more interesting then the norm)?

Rizzuh i don't wanna be an arse, but with so many people questioning the newspost, maybe you should too. ah wel guess you already did :)

[Gabr|ella]

really gj with the map raven :)

[tspoon1066]

What i mean is people who start playing CS but don't like the realism side of things so start playing arena maps and such.

The map "falling" is great for shottie aim. Nipper map IIRC

csnation needs a map of the week/month type thing, much like the skin/picture of the day

I think that's a good idea too, and i think it's safe to say this map will never be a map of the month thank god



i give it * out *****

So has anyone else noticed rifles are 10x better on LAN than online?

[*Vamp*]

That's because on LAN you have basically 0 lag, online you get tons, plus alot of online servers have crappy reg. All guns are better on LAN, not just rifles......

lol u guys are nub if u would understand many dedicated cs teams practice on aim_map and other maps like that, this map is better than aim_map in some situations depending on what u want to practice

stop talking plz

Just read rizzuh's comment so I'll comment on the map. I'm glad someone saved me 5 minutes work if I ever wanted to completely distort the point of CS Ò°ó

These comments shows the courtesy and the leniency of the CSN community. I understand that perhaps an aim map release should not have deserved a full news entry, but does a unjustified news entry deserve a whole page of flame comments?



I mean, it was also a new newsposter too... first time working at CSN (I think). If people were fired for a single minor mistake they made the first week on the job, there wouldn't be many people working today...



To dassbaba, I hope you aren't discouraged from this incident and I hope for your continued employment in CSN.



In any case, since I am not supposed to comment on the quality of the newspost or whatnot, I will comment on the map.



It's pretty good, I really like the textures, and the small size of it. A lot of aim maps are way too big in my opinion, and aim_arena is good in this respect, IMO. However, the smaller size limits the players to something like 4v4 without being too chaotic and crowded. The visuals are also pretty nice, water, textures, they are quite aesthetically pleasing.



The impassable water barrier is quite a nice touch, although I think I discovered a bug with it. The water is not completly lethal, it seems. I know very little about mapping, but there seems to be some "layer" of triggers that hurt the player, but only on the surface of the water, so if players dive down fast enough, they can swim beneath the surface without taking damage... until air runs out, of course. I'm guessing this would probably lead to some gunfights underwater...



I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, whether the water was meant to be COMPLETELY lethal, or to simply hurt the player enough so that it is impossible to cross, but I just wanted to point that out.



Well then, my rant is over.

There's over 150,000 members in the "CSN community." Not even 100 posted here. I don't believe I have to explain where I'm going with this...

Yes.

We just want only the best

It's not "impassable". If you strafe jump towards the other side, right when you hit the water, jump-duck, you can get to the other side with only 50 damage done to your health. Also, I don't think it was a bug that you can jump to the bottom. and die of running out of air...

...or to simply hurt the player enough so that it is impossible to cross

Not impossible
