Where did all the maps go??

**Where did all the maps go?? -** 05-12-2003, 11:59 AM

I was away from MOH for about six months. Tendonitis, and I am a guitar player. So I stopped the on line stuff and game playing.

Love being back, M-1 in hand.

But, WHERE are all the maps? All the servers I go on (only play CKR, with FF if possible) only use the stock maps, and only a few of those.

When I left people were using Sigfried Line, Thunder, that altered Algeria with all the barbed wire and MG42s. A bunch of them. Now it is the same ancient maps.

Was there some inherent problem with custom maps? Or did people just get lazy and not download them?

And what happened to Omaha Beach?? You go to a server with Objective maps and it is the same thing over and over: The Bridge (zzz), The Hunt (still fun but old), and V-2 which I hated from day one and find horribly boring.

Omaha at least threw in something different now and again.

Alot of servers still play custom maps. Try looking up some servers on Gamespy or All-Seeing Eye.

You may also want to check out some popular servers here, such as the AAN.NET (allaboutnothing.net) Spearhead server, Team aM's server, DK666's, or even Crow King's Forlong Hope.

I think people are lazy. We will work custom maps into our rotation slowly, but it's hard to keep a server reasonably full with custom maps cause people just will not go download them. We run custom map rotations on Sundays and standard maps the rest of the time. [PIE]Public.

there are only a few good custom maps out there. 95% of custom maps have horrible scripting, bugs, extremely laggy or bad FPS, or just shit design.

Forlorn Hope, rarely even plays any custom maps, anymore. The server is generally there to be filled, however, People tend to be lazy, therefore emptying the server any time it changes to a custom -- or Objective for that matter. Nevertheless, Forlorn being inherited by {-BaH-), we have put a few other servers that we often times will just mess around on, with custom realism, ff on and off, and Custom maps, it is has no set rotation.

Keeping on Topic, there are a lot of servers out there that don't Use CKR, in fact, they stick to stock, or other non-rrealism. There is a fair amount of sniper only servers, and other strict rifle groups. Custom maps have in no way dissappeared, Like Joe said, Try looking around on ASE, or the like, for they will deffinetly turn up some results.[/url]

I have seen some custom maps. but rarely since I have been back.

And after playing realism, non-realism just seems stupid. Just all the more reason to only use a scope or an STG44. Any game that makes the head shot instant death but not a shot to the center of the chest or back is just silly.

thats why i run my server with server side modded maps.. its the best of both worlds. no download but you still get the custom maps. people can just drop in and check the server out without any problem.

TEAM HARDCORPS runs FF and CKR with 8 custom maps... feel free to drop by.

moose175 · 05-12-2003, 10:55 PM

|-|alf |_ight · 05-13-2003, 08:02 PM

Team 18 just added 10 custom obj maps to the rotation...
desert base, dasboot, lol v2, v2 v 2, etc
Check us out

lol v2 is, IMO, one of the best custom maps EVAH! Way better than EA's. Im surprised EA didnt take his map, rename it some gibberish name,include a mortar, and package it for SH saying its a brand new revamped map

oOk.SpunkyPunkMonkey · 05-14-2003, 11:08 AM

hehe v2 is the best map, Omaha is a noob map quite frankly, I hate it, spawn camping sucks bigzooka: M16:
