I like it with a large number of people, with a small number of people it is boring. Once the player base is larger and I can play it with a full server of people I would include it. But for now I say take it out. Not enough servers play it and not enough people like to play it, so it's just making the download larger.
Not too fussed either way to be honest. I'd rather see it changed quite a bit to make it more streamlined and smaller though. Make it like a slightly bigger crossroads.
I like this map, its a bit plain, walking to the center is a pain, but other than that It's a great map
I really like this map, it is amazing with around 10 people on each team. Just make it a bit smaller and keep it in.
me and megel were just talking about how it doesnt fit in the empires world.. it doesnt look like a battle ground.. to me it looks more like a giant halo map.. i think it would need some major changes to become part of empires
If you take out gauntlet, I think you should take out emp_money too. I don't really think either of them fit in well with the mod's themes, but I do think the gameplay in gauntlet is more enjoyable than money's.
Isn't emp_money to be seen more as a "fun map" than an actual one? Well, even though we're here to play games for f... Peaches you know what I mean!
When on gauntlet I feel like we've all been shrank and dropped into a Team Fortress map. I can think up potential story lines for each of the other maps including money and crossroads but gauntlet just...just...needs some attention before it can be included.
It's too easy to camp the enemy base with turrets and block off their spawn, Scouts snipe you all the time, people jump on top of buildings (the vf), too many routes, it feels grey and cold.
What this map needs is a throughough going over so it looks like its been entirely bombed out. Then reduce the hight of the massive massive buildings a bit so it feels a bit less oppressive, and perhaps make the ground seem more interesting, like by adding actual roads and such, and this map would be awesome. It could also work as a flag map IMO.
I think it would work better as a flag map. What I find happening in every gauntlet game is one team spams turrets above the other team's base, and thats not fun.
It seems like more of a tournament map to me. I say keep it because I personally think its well made, and its gameplay that matters most. Also I think you should have as many fun, well made maps as possible to add to the variety
I think that it's an amazingly well made map personally, I spent about 20 minutes the other day just enjoying exploring it
Flag Map FTW, since the way it works it would be cool because you would need to go 2 routes to get flags making some areas huge battlefields.
