Not happy about saddam, surely thats a bit big for DM? I thought it was
designed more for CTB than anything else. Happy about subway99 though, I
love that map. Lightbeam? Do we really need two lighthouse maps? Hmm...

Good call.

Even better call!

I was going to say "Isn't saddam a bit big for DM", but I have this 
horrible feeling that it would be even more unsuited to TP. Kind of like 
TP games on "teacher" - they last forever. Still, time will tell.

Ditto.

Yes, I agree.  Its a good level in theory, but us modemers have a hell
of a time on it.

I want to emphasise that last bit.  Lets try the new levels out properly
before we start to bash em.  I have a few reservations about Saddam
myself, but I do hope that they will be wrong.

Shame you can't (yet) have map voting in both TP and DM.

Please god, don't add Mesto in the cycle!  Its lovely to look at, but
snipers are the only ones who'll enjoy it. :(

I think DeepCanyon looks *ace* though, with the type of design that
*could* suit all tastes.  Its like teamjungle should have been.

Teamdepot, murder, and ctbcity look pretty good on first impressions,
although I need to take a proper look at em.

Have the FS AQ2 servers changed IPs or something? I can't get thru to
them any more.

And my newsfeed is dead as well, I'm all lost... and I was lagged
every time I tried to play today...

Me huffing.

Me also taking a zip disk to work tomorrow to bring those new maps
home :o)

If it gets too bad, shout and I'll change it.  I'd like to give some new
levels a run in, though.

Exactly.  If it's shit, shout and I'll take it off.  It's not like your
stuck with it for ever and ever... ;)

> Shame you can't (yet) have map voting in both TP and DM.

That'd be cool.  Unfortuantely, disk space is getting critical (96% at
last call :( ) so there's not much to choose from.

Hadn't even noticed it.  I'll mark it up as "one to not touch".

Give me the ratings and I'll take a look too... again, providing I'm
reminded enough (my memory is like a seive at the moment, and I'm just a
little tipsy too...)

The AQ2 TP server is actually a little different than I posted... for a
few reasons that we'll just keep hushed up suspiciously... ;)

The rotation is as follows :

hostage2
actcity2
office3
alcatraz
cov092
cheyenne
soho

I just played a match on deepcanyon, and it was cracking. Tasty for 
snipers, but also pretty good for MP5s, specially with a laser sight. It 
was a small match, and hunting the other guys down was LOADS of fun :)
Not worth bothering with a shotgun, tho.

I can strongly recommend it.

Er, I mean Cliff, not lightbeam.  (You have experienced the 'cliff

I mean cliff was bad, not lightbeam.  (I think TreeFrog got that idea
too).  Lightbeam looks like it'll be better than lighthouse, with luck.

Its not official, but its at the Mapzone. (Still in beta).
I've heard a few whispers from people saying how much they like it, but
I think that its all fancy graphics and no gameplay, myself.

OK, this is me reminding you.
After this post, I'll forget too, so it looks like we're probably
stuffed. :)

Ratings?  Are you talking about the map size, or am I missing something
fundamental here? (for a change :)

I got them from the mapdepot. 

I'll give you the URL just to be annoying, cause it was you who gave it
to me in the first place.

Oh, _that_.

Actually, I never really suffered from lag on cliff. I suffered from 
another condition known as "playing on a shit map", which is even more 
unpleasant.

Were up for it, we need to start gentle for our first proper clan match
before we take on the Funkies.

Err, that now sounds bad doesnt it? like we expect to beat MrE, like
you're some fat 45 year old and we're Lennox Lewis needing a warm up
fight (have I got your Aardvarks fur up enough yet to make this a grudge
match? hehe). Sorry, I'll shut up now.

Seriously, if I book us a server for Sunday evening, say 9pm do you
think you could pull together 5 ppl or so?
On that note, just how many is standard for a clan match? 5v5?

We had our first full clan turn out for a belter of a practice session
the other night, not a covert server take-over... honest <nose grows
exponentially> and by Sunday we really should be ready to rumble in an
official capacity.

Indeed - I find the "shit map" problem is best solved by pressing the ` 
key followed by typing quit<return>. Cures it for me. I tend to find it 
most applicable on cliffs and chriscity3. YMMV. HTH.

YMMV - whats that then?

I've started to put all the best AQ2 server addresses in the .cfg file
(set adr#), so if 'shit map syndrome' crops up, its easy to find a new
home fast.

However, there are more than 8 decent servers.  If I just keep on adding
them beyond adr7, does Q2 refresh all the ones specified and display the
fastest, or does it ignore any over adr7?

TIAAWA,
