I already signed you up nutduster. Everyone, i got a sneak peak at this ricochet map he has made and all i can say is wow. Get ready.
Turns out I won't be joining you this week. Got a job interview in the morning so I need to get to bed early to make sure I'm up in time for it! Anyways hope you have fun people, happy testing!
Great lobby chaps. Nice to get a full to capacity party going. Feedback here, or in the threads please.
I put up a thread for the game we played last night: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/wip-works-progress/147446-thruster-i-barely-know-her.html Also, for anyone that tested my small map Reprise a month or two ago, I've made a substantial change to it that needs to be tested at some point. I'll try to scrap together a 2v2 lobby eventually.
damn, I got my *** handed to me this time the only maps I felt confortable on were mine and nutduster's one. many if the maps I found much more complicated and hard to play than what we had last week. in another hand, I think there was more variety. there seemed to be better players as well, it was unusually difficult to win duels. I upped the topic for my map "Hangar lockdown"
It seemed like a couple of the new guys that played with us were really good. It was definitely hard to get kills in some of those matches.
When you realize the board is back online again (finally), Juanez - sign me up. We'll be running this at least once: http://www.forgehub.com/threads/map-preview-castle-siege.147450/ One unrelated thing. Since most everybody on this board that I care about looks at this thread now and again, I have it on good authority that the new forum software allows staff (or at least admin-level staff) to login as us. Some kind of plugin allows for this incredibly invasive breach of privacy. I have no idea if anyone here plans to use it. But bottom line, don't put anything in PMs anymore that you're not comfortable having someone other than your intended recipient look at.

some thoughts on some of the maps : Caedis : nice abandoned look. it was quite easy playing as a human, very hard as a flood, probably because the human team was well coordinated. I had no chance to approach from any angle. shipwreck : I really liked this one, seemed quite balanced for infantry and vehicles. usually on BTB I feel more like "let's camp or let's get raped by snipers and mantises", but not here. however, I suicided a lot and that was really frustrating, I could just never see the water holes before it was too late. tokyo rooftops : any thought about it? I had already planned to modify staircases for a better flow, but I'm not sure yet how to do it. was the outdoor area too open? the railgun rooftop seemed to be a popular spot, is it fine as it is? what about weapon balance? I had the scattershot for a while and was wondering if it wasn't a bit too strong? juanez : anything wrong with my gametype? I can hardly get kills on chron's maps (well on other maps as well it seems, but at least I do better than last place)
Fauch, your gametype was not fun. Sorry to say everyone was annoyed with the scoring, the weapons, and lack of armour abilities. In short, Tokyo rooftops played a LOT better just with infinity slayer. That map was pretty good i thought, however I was hearing some complaints about areas not being used, and as it played so much better with regular slayer, you will have to jet-pack proof it as people were flying up to places they shouldn't have been. Also most people were complaining that your winding staircases were annoying, and you should try and find a different way to add routes up and down. Were we also on Impact? I think the lighting was broken too- meaning that shadows didn't render correctly and things looked generally wierd. I would very much like to see you re-forge some areas of this and perhaps try and restore the lighting; that or re-create it, slightly simplified, on forge island. Then it would kick more ass.
