Ns_delta

<div class="IPBDescription">Does anyone know where it went?</div> Heya,

i'm one of the constellation members who have been lucky enough to be in the enclosed beta testings for ns 2.0.
Now, there was a map, most people know it, Ns_delta.

For reasons unknown to me, it was (obviously) removed from the game.
Can someone tell me, or link me, what happened to delta, why was it removed?
And, above all, is there a chance it comes back?
from the moment i played the map, i loved it, imo the greatest map ever.

Thanks, all the best

    i have ran around it and its very nice looking, tho the equidistant hives was already kinda troubling.

    i recall it was removed because the top hive was just _too_ crap. and i remember someone saying "everything is far away for aliens but everything is close by for marines"

    i know what you mean, the position of marine start, in the center, was daring, but that can be balanced... is it still online anywhere?

    It was removed because tommyd lost the source somehow and didn't make a backup. Iirc..

    yeh the layout was very floored.

    if u were to remake it u wuld have to change the layout and if ur gonna change the layout, why not just make a new map

    I would help a Remake team. I missed out on Nancy's and Bast's, so I would really like to take part this time.

    I too beta tested 2.1 as a Constie, and Delta was a pretty cool map. But, because marines start in the middle of the map, it was really hard for aliens to win. One thing I liked about it, is that it was different. Most maps have their marine start locked away in a corner.

    I'm not entirely sure about the source being lost.. but if so, I'd like to join.

    The source wasn't lost, it was removed because it had severe gameplay problems and tommyd didn't have time to work on it.

    Locked!
