[2.2] emp_gauntlet

It looks like a giant halo map.. It's just so ugly and scaled weird.

I think it plays better then money though haha.. Watch another thread pop up about canyon cdr..

 

That bug got fixed.

 

You played it wrong.
I had some good times on that map back in the times of 1.07.
It doesn't have to be a bad map only because YOU don't like it.

 

CDR showed up on nachos once through drummer messing around with new maps, it kinda sucked, we lost our VF in ten seconds and ended up defending the flag as grenadiers.

 

The map is too large, even if it was half as large it would be too much.

 

If he were the only one who didn't like it, then it wouldn't be gone.

 

There are still guys who like it. And I think there are more people hating streetsoffire than there are people that like it. And it is still there.

 

If streets of fire had rooftops so the CV didn't get stuck, I wouldn't throw rocks at it.

 

SoF is very difficult and irritating to command.

gauntlet is no more fun to play than just a completely flat map, currently. I think it should look war torn, real.

 

Making things look wartorn is actually rather difficult, there's a reason HL2 maps are so small.

 

SoF > Gauntlet. SoF can be fun. the catwalks in Gauntlet made playing it so pointless.

The reason there aren't more people complaining about Gauntlet is that most here are newer, and haven't played it. And even back in 1.07 days, gauntlet was not played very often. Maybe 1 server had it in the rotation, and the map usually cleared the server.

If you want to get your own server and put it in the rotation, go ahead...but bet on your server emptying out. That map is made of total fail. The only redeeming quality is has, is that it is better than Money...but given nuke spam, I bet Gauntlet could become even worse.

 

I avoid playing streetsoffire whenever it is possible... having played it once is already more than enough and still a painful memory.
And I can remember playing gauntlet quite often and it actually never emptied the server...
Slaughtered turned into a nuke-rush map which makes playing it just boring and people still play it without disconnecting from the server. So I doubt that gauntlet can be any worse.

 

it never emptied the server because there was only one server

 

And that one was good populated.

 

I m jsut saying that the people didn't really have much of a choice... It was either play that map or not playing Empires at all

 

I can't remember that anyone complained about that map when it was on.

 

I do but then again I also remember people asking for a mapchange to gauntlet...

 

Basicly, let's try it as a testing map, instead of sitting here :p

 

It's just too big and too bland, it's not balanced at all. It has huge flat open areas with no colour differences, meaning that some things just blend in while others constantly stand out. There is no skybox for stuff to blend with.

 

I just remember everyone trying to 9-mine the cv to get to the next map.

*Note that CV in Pope's screenie has been flipped, and no buildings have been placed yet.
