Yeah, Entity doesn't have the server enabled to upload the maps to people connected. It just starts the game and if you don't have the map, you're Effed.

So whats the maplist now? I liked it when there were only like 6 regular maps, but oh well...

People, when you say to AIM you, post your aim handles! Mine is Kelvrick. Also, when a new map is loading and you don't have it, give it a minute. Most likely the people in-game will do a vote and change it to a map you have.

Also, how does everyone feel like playing tonight at 6:30pm PST So far, me and Nik are in.

Last night was cool, though I'd prefer to stick with the normal maps, customs always put me in a bad mood.

Oh c'mon...iceworld rocked as 4v4, and you know it. :D

My favs were dust2, iceworld, and rats. Now I'm re-addicted. :D

Same here. I joined Iceworld a little late and got a few kills in, and even though I did well, I don't like it that much. I'm with virtuamike with sticking to regular maps.

Regular maps get boring and don't offer much variety. I like maps like treetops where you can't buy anything and only have the use of the knife, pistol, and the scout. It brings people out of their comfort zones and away from spawn nading to hell and other stupid people with no skills. Although it does introduce the ability to spawn snipe, which should be regulated by admin by booting those that do it.

It makes you a better player all around if you know your tools in any environment.

in short, classic maps suck :p

Haha, maps that limit you to pistols or a scout? I wouldn't mind those. I don't like things like Iceworld and propaintball that much because I don't know, I just don't. Oh well.. Anyoen up for a game?!

Egh, maps like iceworld and speedball are just kill zones, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. With classic maps at least there's some strat involved. Personally my faves are dust2 and aztec. BTW anyone can change map by doing an admin_vote_map and then map name.
