Aim_Arena released

[The_Zacker]

I registered here only to post the following:



How can a normally very respected site like CSN allow people like dassbaba to post news? dassbaba is nothing besides a kid who could not speel www.pokemon.com



Get him out of here now, if you dont want to loose ALL respect!!!



That map is so bad that it dont even deserve the title "map". Its much closer to "shit".



And yes just go ban me. I am not going to visit a site which have such news posts. And I doubt any other people with a IQ higher than the temperature outside atm ever will.

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......

Half ass on topic.

I actually use aim-map, and probably will use this map for the purpose of demostrating how much your connection has to do with actually hitting, especially moving targets.



When you have an unstable connection around 100ms, expect 1 in 3 hits not to count. That one most people I play with refer to as a rubber bullet. You'll see on your end the opponent either bleed or slow from a chest shot, but take no damage. LAN play you'll rarely see this happen.



Back to topic. I'll give this map a try with my clan since I always felt aim_map itself was too small. Plus I always had one idiot on the CT side usp rushing, drawing all fire to him. Ct's then shoot distracted T's.

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...

Well, I mean... the VOCAL CSN Community.

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...

I didn't try it, but I believe you.

Not impossible

Alright...

and also the recoil pattern of weapons on a LAN are not estimated (like they are online), they are real.

if ur online and want to see the TRUE recoil pattern (true as in the way the server sees it) try the command: cl_lw 0



and has anyone noticed, how the amount of deleted comments has soared in the past few days. new power hungry moderator perhap-p-p-p-p-p-s-s-s-s-s?

*had toyed with the idea of commenting on the recent rise in deleted comments*



um...



*decides not to say anything for fear of being banned for 'off topic'*



...



*will probably now be banned anyway for posting this off topic comment*



....Bugger.



Well anyway, I'm off to see for myself how different the recoil is on LAN and Online (I knew it was slightly different, didn't know it was that different though).

That's because it was changed so that every saw the deleted comment with the red lettering, it used to be only you saw it if it was your comment. Idiot.

Aim maps aren't bad, tho I usually limit myself to one dose of unrealism on fy_iceworld once a month.

Also on maps like that if u die and start in line of sight with an enemy who didn't they can shoot u right away :/

Leads to very short rounds.



p.s. -> LoL at vamp

p.s. x 2 ->Will that 'custom title' be an eternal scar on my conscience?

I have this loaded on the 24/7 nOObs sever. i had to make a .res file and the .wad takes longer to download than .bsp file. that may scare people off if they have to wait too long to play it.



i am going to lower the gravity just enough so you can just barley make the jump over the water.



small custom maps are a good way to build a loyal following for your (mine) crappy noob server: they can't play them anywhere else. but the map needs to be unique as well as fast down load.



come see if it's worth playing.



edit. i had a low frame rate on the map so i took it out of rotation.

the old 900T-bird can't hang. sometimes cable noob server is fine with 10 people, other times it's un-playable with 5. but for a "free" server, i built out of scraps and host on a cable modem it's a lot of fun and i have a dysfunctional little community. i can't get the little buggers to check out the new "real" server:

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.

i was a litte distraught over some of the posts, but the notion of a question of my employment or continuation of posting at csn is crazy. you can email rze@counter-strike.net and try to get mw fired if you think thats neccesary. some people here don't seem to understand that i post anything that comes up, if you want a site with shittier coverage and bad reporting go to a different site. i probably won't be posting aim_maps because too many people flamed, but I will be posting anything that comes up. im going to stop responding to this post, bye!

Yes.

Banned!

We've reached a point where criticizing other people for the work you're too lazy to do is no longer a valid contribution to the thread.



This has been featured on other sites in their community news section without flame. Here's a protip: The main page of CS-Nation is community news.

well..... to be honest i was a bit shocked when i saw this. any average mapper can make this map in about....... well 10 minutes i guess. it's just rubbish, that's all, it's not even worth the title of "map". however, it's good these kind of maps are made for the people that want to train their aim, yadda yadda, bla bla.



but what i don't get is this being posted on csn. while mappers all around the world make the most incredible maps, those remain (well i didn't see many posted here) unnoticed. it's a shame, but it's csn's choice and i respect that. (well... errr what i don't get is that this DOES get posted, hell, i'd say this is just a punch in the face of the all the mappers out there trying hard. (at making good maps)



/pets cscentral har har ^^

I do enjoy the vast array of pretty maps on cscentral Perhaps there is a quiet entente cordial betweent he sites, Central gets to be map kings, whilst CSN gets to be the EVRYTHING ELSE kings,

We did this on our c¨lan server, and had a really nice smattering of aim maps, just for a ten minute session in between officials, and at wekeends we would throw in the clan founders customs, like cs_da_picturez (Nice cinema map, with custom hossies, but worth the dl) alas hes become brainwashed by EVE and isnt mapping anymore... Anyhoo aim maps are a good way of bringing aloyal following to a server, and this is a pretty aimmap.

I's sad to see that you hate my map that much. I clearly stated that it's an old map that has been lying around for ages and that i after requests released it. I know i'm not a good mapper, and yes..there are some mistakes that i will fix. If you have questions, ideas or just want to flame..please do it in a mail to me instead of flooding the commentsystem with useless crap. Don't blame the CSN crew..they are doing a good job running a site like this. As an old newswriter i know it's not an easy job.



And yes, i am over 16..25 to be exact.
