Fearsome

If my memory serves me correctly lost arena was the first place map in the U mapping contest not caverns.

just saw someone arguing the same point on CU.

Might want to sticky these contest threads or map a thread with map packs from the hl2dmU contests

Well I hope draft night works out. I say give it a once or twice test run to see if theres enough interest. If not I'll be way more then happy playing in custom league + regular league only. TBH I think I'm looking forward to custom league more then any leagues including regular league lolz.

Wrong. Caverns won.

Caverns won like a boss

More importantly, wtf is this heart doing here?

Probably because someone moved it out of the thread it was in unless I accidentally pressed new thread.

Obviosly my memory was wrong but I could not find the thread for some reason.

yeah i just moved this stuff out of the other thread. It will make it easier for me to see the map. Took me a while to find the thread. I put the heart there for the lulz....I don't see it though so meh.

lolz good thread

Obviosly my memory was wrong

Shit happens as we get older.

I dislike caverns, though it would have to be the best teamplay maps ever invented...
Lostarena was ported from counter-strike right?

not sure if trolling

Not that I know of, doesn't look like a cs map, can't imagine it would play well as a cs map either, so most likely no, although someone may prove me wrong

Lostarena was an original map, not a port.

worst cs map ever! wtf

Lol, CS on Lost Arena. FFS.

LA is an original and IMHO a great map. over cav it mainly has looks and without doubt cav has far better gameplay and is more interesting although not your regular eye-candy to be modest

Meekle did put a texture theme to caverns, it dropped the FPS on my test PC to the point he said screw that leave it.

don't get me wrong, i think cav is very good, just not on the visual side that's all. i'm just a visual junky.

How could a simple retexture drop the fps that much?

Must have been some high quality textures is all I can think of, and still, that shouldn't drop fps. I didn't get that either.

expensive textures can sure drop fps

So he goes from one of the worst texture themes in any map and tries to get ones that are 4gb per texture in raw format lol? Nothing possible in between.

When you can come up with a better idea for slowing speed crawl than installing fins in a vent, then you can have room to lol. Until then, caverns rapes the face of anything you've created, so zip it.

I don't speak for him so I don't know what to say.

He could make you some sweet fins if you like.

I havent seen very many meekle maps, but have seen a few. The ones I have seen were all weak when it comes to the textures. Nothing wrong with that, but Im betting the pressure got to him and he just couldnt come up with anything that would fit the map. I mean god damn, even the map name makes no fucking sense. What type of textures could he of put there in place of the current textures that would of tied the map together with the name?

cavern - any large dark enclosed space

Caverns seems like one of the few "balanced" maps ive played imo. Risky rpg, all the spam u need, good for mag/bowing, close combat shottie duels, risky supercharger.

I don't expect all maps to be balanced I do like control/king of the hill maps at times(OW, Amplitude, LD) They offer a new type of playing style which is great it makes u play more strategically.

As far as textures, or prettiness, competitively speaking, it don't matta. It's hard to have both a nice competitive map and a sexy looking map all at the same time tho I must say Airfusion almost offers both.

Tho maybe clan posters would make caverns a lot coolor

The map is not enclosed, nor is it dark lol.

You're doing it wrong. Turn the brightness down.

How so
?

he only explained the meaning of cavern and suggested textures accordingly

Who are you even talking to?

Even if I knew, would it make sense then?

i don't really see the point of this thread tbh. someone explain

I split it from a topic about maps for the draft. I hate when topic about "what map do you want" become "I don't like map X"
I clearly did the right thing since the original thread did not get spammed with useless chatter by people that have no interest in the draft at all.

I can see sky so it isnt enclosed
