vipers and EU main server have pretty fast DL speed. it never takes longer than 1 min for me, except when the server is full and many ppl need to DL (when the EU main server is empty, map DL takes only 5-10 sec ...) mesa needs some work and it will be a good map, but divide ... looks like a pre-alpha version or a draft.
Long loading times? Why would anyone care about people that don't want wait 5 or less minutes to check out a new map? It takes a longer time to walk across most emp maps. Most matches take more than 30 minutes. Give me a fucking break.
I have rediculously slow internet, and having to download maps takes ages for me. If servers would put a .rar on their site I could download in my off time that would help me a ton. Also, please for the love of all that is holy stop playing laststand_v2. That map is ugly, laggy, boring, and just overall shit.
you can find most maps here on the forums mapping section or with tricksters map pack (dunno how up to date it is though, you gotta ask trickster)
And make sure to force brutos to link it somewhere on the steam page or in bright text tab on the mainpage, so that we won't have anymore people whining about custom maps dl times ruining their "gameplay experience".
or just put the maps onto steampires, people get some new map in their game, they think people are continually developing, and there is no point not to.
