I think we’ve all had a few occasions now to play through the new maps… So it’s probably a good time to get some first impressions from everyone.
Personally, I’ve been quite pleased, most of all that the new maps “arn’t” perfect. They haven’t come in and taken over voting for the next month while driving away some players due to bordem. They’ve actually become good fun alternatives to what WCU offers, which is good de_ maps that suit the lose team play style.
The only other thing I’II say is, that Strata is a good map, but its one of the many custom de_’s available and the potential is there still to find something else that improves on the kind of experience it offers, although well developed, the map lacks some refinement in regards to gameplay – offering only destinct confrontation zones and little else in between. I’m being a mite picky with my opinion, but it is only because the potential is there for improvement/or something better. The de_ maps being the life blood of the server, I think its important to offer the best available.
Anyone else ready with their opinion?
