Custom Maps

<div class="IPBDescription">not in next patch</div> theres this thing going on where you put your own custom maps up for trail to be put in the next patch. i come from a tfc back ground and if you got some good custom maps its best not to put them in the public patch. so you can ahve some servers that play custom maps witch are very good and only players that arnt going to mess about know about them. so you get servers in tfc like the sas, 187 and LBU servers that play custom maps witch are good but only ppl that are going to play with no lameness play on um.

if every one has these good maps there will be no way of spliting up the group of players we ahve at the moment. with out passworded servers that the password is only given to a select few ppl

    Whew! That was a hard post to follow. To clarify (as i'm still unsure) are you saying that any good new maps that are made should not be put in the new patch because <i>you</i> don't want anyone except your friends having them? Sounds kinda selfish to me.

    I may have interpereted your post wrongly, if so, I apologise, but I did re-read it several times.

    If I understood what you meant, you are saying that no new maps should be included in next patch(es) ?
    If there is a good custom map why it shouldn't be included in public patch?
    Because of lamers? Custom maps that are not going to be played on many servers would let only special group have fun.

    Edit:
    Actually it was hard to follow your text for me too...
    And I actually typed this post something like five minutes to make it somewhat like undestandable...

    Ok ok, i'm following you now. By not puting the maps in patches, only people that go to the effort of downloading them will play, and lamers are not likely to do that, right?

    Fair enough.

    But what about the majority of casual NS gamers, who want to have fun and dont Llama in games? To a large proportion of them downloading extra maps hasn't even crossed their minds.
    So in order to stop lamers ruining your game, you have cut out a large part of the playing public, not really fair, is it?
    Wether you want it to or not, your idea would create an elitist/casual rift that many CS refugees would rather not go through again.

    Remember, it's not just hardcore players on NS, and everyone deserves to play NS at it's best, maps included.

    TBH you <i>would</i> be better off passwording your server and only giving it to people you want to play with.

    "Hardcore Gamers" tend to be morons who think they own the game and have more right to play it than anyone else.

    I'd rather play on a server full of new players than on a server full of elitist tossers.

    Denying the maps to the majority is pointless and selfish and ironically enough, lame.

    Perhaps consider taking more time to lay out the grammatical structure of your posts so they are easier to comprehend?

    Most of the maps in the game are 'custom' maps; playtesters were invited to make maps, and the best couple of maps were included in the game. You can probably expect there to be more maps in later patches, as the current selection is a little slim, but there should still be quite a large demand for custom map servers, as the developers won't get every good map out there, and couldn't fit them into a client and have it be a decent size.
