Quote:New screenshots of a brand new map that is currently being tested by valve playtesters have been posted on the steampowered website, The map is due for release in February.
Man valve are being stupid with maps... Theres nothing wrong with the old ones they just need a port over... Who in the world plays hostage maps anyways... they are boring and crap and too terrorist biased... Valve need a kick in the right direction...
Ive always been a fan of trying new maps, which is the direction GU took for quite some time and personally i loved it.
One of the main reasons i stopped playing on node was due to the same old shit map cycles. Ie, dust, dust2, aztec, inferno etc. Now they arent all bad maps, but the fact that if i connect to 100 or so servers, chances are they would have the exact same map rotation..
Looks pretty good. I miss the old maps. Inferno, Train, Nuke, Assault, Militia, Vegas all come to mind. They were pretty balanced too I think. Doesn't matter though, Tides is a pretty good map and I think Compound seems to be good as well.
