Right, 2 things that have pissed me off today.

First one is map cycles. We're halfway through the year and most of the 
major servers are STILL running the same cycles they have been since last 
October. What's the fucking score? Is Paul Marshall the only server admin 
with any imagination in this godforsaken country? BarrysWorld still have 
RUINS2 in their cycle - a map that was fucking rotten on its release 
several BASTARD months ago! Never mind subway. It's not too bad in terms 
of gameplay, if you ignore the shitty lighting and delete the annoying 
"music" wav files, but come ON! It's been around for aeons! What the hell 
is wrong with subway99? Is it too much to expect people to download the 
odd map from time to time? I realise some of the old maps are genuine 
classics, but the majority are complete fucking dross. Christ.

Secondly - friendly fire. Now, I can see this adding an extra element of 
strategy to clan matches, but it has absolutely no bloody place on pick-
up servers. Every time someone signs on to your team for the first time, 
a couple of their shots go wild and it's Goodnight Vienna. Well, isn't 
that just an ass-load of fucking fun. Getting creamed because some poor 
bastard didn't know that the server had some pointless switch turned on. 
Alternatively, some lamer takes a dislike to the rest of his team, or 
"forgets" that FF is on, and tries to shoot through you with his rifle. 
Loads of fucking entertainment for the whole bloody family. Get a grip, 
people - it's a nice idea, but in the big bad world it's just a royal 
pain in the backside.

Right, that's me for the moment. Thoughts, anyone?
