Base Maps

[CaptainPoopface]

It was suggested awhile ago that we try rotating in some of the alternate base maps in the pubs. I'd like to revive the idea. However, knowing how vehemently people tend to oppose change, I'd suggest that we only use a non-standard pub map on Wednesday and Saturday, or something like that. Not full-time, not weekends only, but a couple of days out of the week as a breath of fresh air.

People have invested their time to make some cool base maps that never get played. Wouldn't it be nice to test your skills against people on a map where no one has memorized all the shots and angles from years of playing?

Try ?go fatbase, nailed, preview, blehbase... for some good examples. I wish I knew the name of The Unliked One's map that almost became the new pub last April. That was probably my favorite map.

Mootland Farmer compiled this list of bases from last year:

Below are a few maps which I think we could use to make Public more interesting to play in. This might even make the original map a breath of fresh air when we would revert back to it.

?go boki
?go 2dbase
?go bluebase
?go firebase
?go headbase
?go kryn
?go oldtrench1
?go kambase
?go redbase
?go angellbase
?go altbase
?go battle
?go bigbase
?go complex
?go devilbase
?go equinox
?go nailed
?go preview

Please let me know if you like any of these arenas more or less, or if you have any other good suggestions for Publics. Thanks.

No, the badass Unliked map I'm talking about is from this thread, which came within a few votes of being our new pub. I believe it can still be found at ?go #testmap3. The two side entrances seemed like the most controversial aspect. As a compromise, we could seal one of them.

I'd love to play that map as pub again, plus many of the other maps that have been made.

Noobs won't care, vets don't play pub much, and those who do play pub can either enjoy the variety or play elsewhere those 2 days of the week.

Everybody wins. Mostly.

I'm in favor of this. I might actually play pub if this happened.

i agree, ?go #testmap3 was probably my favourite pub map that's been used so far

[Ronn]

good idea tho the map u change too has to be good.

[dads revenge]

there are also the ?go preview 2 3 4 maps

In addition to changing the maps every once in a while, maybe we could liven up the tileset? Or switch around some asteriods? (like who would notice). Just some little things that don't affect gameplay, but make it more pleasing to the eye.

I can still remake that map, open to suggestions since I have it up at dev. Last time it got up, it got up unfinished since lefty was a bit hasty I must say but yeah I can redo it. Fix some stuff up.
And I think bounty wants unlikedbase up for other reasons than just everyone's joy and pleasure.

.?go colorbase

[Krazie_Killer]

i support this idea.

Well, how about closing one of the 3 main base entrances, since people got up in arms about that. I also don't think the 3 large safe zones should have a free, unobstructed shot into the map at no risk to the shooter. Put the bar in front of the little hole in safe so levs must fly out and jeopardize their own safety to fire potshots. Or close the little gap completely, and force people to enter the safe zone from the back, so there is no risk-free cheap shot from safe (my preference).

Yeah tell that to 50 other people. The problem is that everyone doesn't want that. I made the hole since people wanted so, I mean really really many people wanted that. And I'm trying to keep 3 entrances but gonna remake them so they need to go alot longer way to get into the fr. Or then again I might remove them and make them so they will go somewhere else instead, who knows. Gotta ponder that one
