Ping seems a little too high for a NY, NY east cost server as I believe it should be around 50-60ms.
I'm in Charlotte, NC.

I'm getting constant 80ms using tab in the server.
Constant 90-95 ping using net_graph.
Using run->cmd I get much lower ping so cmd is not the best way to tell ping.

It'll need to be on the west coast. I can consider doing it in Cali, but it must be on the west coast.

Hope that doesn't cause too many problems for you :( Pings of 90 aren't too bad though imo. Especialyl given that the server is a 100 tick rate server. Furthermore, it's more about getting AT members together.

Oops, I didn't see that the server has been changed to Seattle.

You should update the OP. :)

Kinda confusing.

the only custom map i would recommend is CS_Kismayo, prolly one of the best custom maps ever.

I'll take a look at it.

What I will likely do is set up the downloadURL so that people can download the maps at 400k/sec.

I bought the server, so I don't know the specs. There should be no lag issues, though. Please let me know if you get any loss, choke, etc.

I will start adding maps to the cycle soon.

Give me your thoughts on the bots. I have the bot_quota set to 10 currently.

I've found that when there's 2-3 bots, noone really joins :(

Bots have now started to give points for HLstatsx. So people should, hopefully, not mind fighting bots.

the only issue with bots is they are SOOO annoying.

basically if there is a person in the game and he dies, he should be able to just typie "kill bots" and the next round starts because sitting and watching bots outcamp each other is REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying.

I was just thinking about that too. I'm trying to think if there is any way to do that, I doin't believe there is :( it requires that an admin be present I think.

basically i try to avoid bot servers and play on the ones with no bots just because it typically means they are popular.

why why why Assault? that map is so frickin horrible...

do a less one sided map, you have TWO one sided maps, Assault and D1 are so one sided.

I don't have dust on it! :)

And the bot comment is very true. Unfortunately the server isn't very popular yet :( If ATers can regularly stay on the server, even idling, then we can hopefully start gaining a base of regular players.

EVen now, however, I have observed a lot of people joining since I changed the bots to 10 rather than 4. In the evening we should, hopefully, have no troubles exceeding 10 real players at all times.

Timelimit for each map has been changed to 10 round wins for a single team. This can be extended by 5 more rounds.

Assault was removed, and Dust2 was added.
