ESG 3 will be on 10-3-09 (Saturday) at 7 pm PST (GMT -8) in the G4TC US Empires server (VIPER). You must be in the ESG group (click here for details) by 11:59 PM PST the day before the ESG to have a reserved slot. Cast your vote for the first map. Hopefully, emp_plunge will be ready for the orange box by the ESG. If it is, we'll play that first, and then the winners from the poll. How do I join an ESG if the server is full? First, you must be in the Steam group. Second, wait until the server says 41/41 (vs 42/41) and type the following line in your console and press enter: Code: connect 75.102.12.98:27015 Why all the custom maps? There are a lot of really good custom maps that don't get played. Since the ESG brings a lot of skilled players, now is the time to play them.
Yeah, but Forest, Silo, and Delta, no offense to the mappers, play really bad. Tropicvendetta is cool, but I just feel like I've played that map too much. Making Isle the only real choice.
I wish we could have two votes. Isle and then tropic and none of the others. When we played insurrection last week that map was killing my comp. It can't handle it I guess. Everything was choppy. I'm sure silo is gonna be the same. Just like that slaughtered remake, he goes over board with the crysis graphics. Delta is lame and the bridges always get LT's stuck on. And its like that wanna be golf course map. I don't like driving up then down every 5 feet. Forest would be my third pick.
Isle please. And then tropic. If I had to pick one more, I'd say Forest, but I think that would make everyone ragequit.
Tropic Vendetta? Really? Fucking really? Thats the worst possible choice of a map for ESG! That map is a noob map! TV is the only map that assumes that the Comm is a complete noob / trained monkey, and that is fucking STUPID. It is insulting to basically have it assumed that you are too stupid to be able to handle anything other than research, building placement and targets. Fail for skiled commanders, in spades.
Well TV is at least fun for players, delta is just a retarded map due to nf natural disadvantage of the bridge, silo is fps intensive and hard to place buildings on. Isle is the only one that works decently.
That is true, there is a lot of strategy in TV, simply because it is impossible to choke point anything. The key to TV is limiting map movement for the enemy. Still, raeg -_-. Isle is great, except for 1 thing - BE can't take NW hills if NF knows what it is doing, it is impossible. This is rather unfair.
It looks like our cycle will be as follows: Isle Forest TropicVendetta Depending on what the players vote for in the server, we may swap Isle for Cyclopean.
